Tonight’s Flipping Out was hilarious. I thoroughly enjoyed it. I’m not sure why I decided to blog instead of just twittering the first sentance of this post. I’m feeling random this evening. :)

I’m not totally feeling Top Chef this season. Maybe it’s just because it’s the beginning of the season and they’re still weeding out the competition, but it feels very slow. Or I’m just crazy (probably this one).
I’m loving Flipping Out. Team Lewis is back and better than ever. Real Housewives of Atlanta has also been delivering. I love me some NeNe! I particularly enjoyed the wig pull heard ’round-the-world.
Summer television has been pretty good but I’m also looking forward to getting back to the regular season. I miss Lost, Ugly Betty, Grey’s Anatomy, Parks and Recreation and The Office and I’m looking forward to finding some new shows to obsess over since a few of my favorites got canceled last season. Any suggestions?
Colin retweeted me after tonight’s episode of MMAS! Awesome! (But I’m pissed that Mountaha went home).
Saw the promo today on Bravo for the first time. So excited! A great way to start the summer.
Breaking: ABC benches ‘Ugly Betty’ – EW.com
Are you kidding me? Which amazing show will be cancelled next? First it was Reba, then Jericho, then Instant Star, then Miss-Guided, then Eli Stone, then Pushing Daisies, and now Ugly Betty? Granted, the haven’t gone so far as to cancel it, but this seems to be a red flag of sorts. What shows are left to watch?! Lost and Grey’s Anatomy. And honestly, GA has gotten a little mundane for me and VERY predictable. I have to be honest in saying that I wouldn’t be upset if last week’s episode was the finale. It was a good episode to close on. Just give me an Owen & Cristina spinoff (and not Private Practice, that show is horrible) and I’ll be happy.
But, I digress. This is really getting out of hand. I went from following six primetime series on ABC/CBS/NBC/Fox to watching two because all of the good shows were cancelled! I spend more time watching CNN and Bravo than any of the old networks. I must say that I am happy to see Samantha Who? returning, but not at the expense of Betty.
What I’m surprised at the most is that networks haven’t figured out that people would rather watch these shows than The Bachelor, Survivor 66254, Amazing Race 984625, etc. The only good reality shows these days are coming off of Bravo (Top Chef, Flipping Out, Kathy Griffin, Real Housewives, etc.).
THIS SUCKS!!!
(Oh and PS – if anybody else is getting fed up, maybe you should shift your entertainment sources from television and movies to live theater, eh? Help me pay my bills? Haha…)
Jesus Christ, he’s everywhere on Bravo these days! He’s like the Ryan Seacrest of the Bravo network. Not only is he in all of their commercials, but he hosts every freaking “Watch What Happens” online special and every reunion show for all of the good Bravo shows. And either he’s had too much Botox or he’s just freaky, because I’ve never seen him not smiling. Ever. (Maybe he should go work at Disney world.)
According to his Wikipedia article, he’s also a pundit on CNN. Luckily, I have never been subjected to the torture that he probably brings to that fabulous cable news outlet.
But speaking of Bravo, I have a new addiction: Make Me A Supermodel. When I was home sick yesterday, there was a marathon of MMAS and Real Housewives: NYC on Bravo. All of the NYC housewives are annoying little…buttheads (except for Alex and LuAnn and maybe Jill, Bethenny annoys me, and words cannot describe Ramona), so I definitely can’t wait for the Orange County version to come back on. But, anyway, I watched MMAS for six hours yesterday and now that I’m almost all caught up, I’m addicted. I want Holly to win next week. Oh, and guess whose face was plastered all over the reunion special last night!
ANDY COHEN.
Today, however, there is nothing good on Bravo so I’m gonna watch Grey’s Anatomy Season 3 on DVD. It’s gonna be a good sick day!
Top Chef on Wednesday bamboozled me.
I’ll admit that Casey did kind of….stumble (okay, it was more like a nose-breaking fall on the face) in the last challenge, but I still think that she should have won. She’s consistently come out on top throughout the competition, and I thought that she displays excellent aptitude of the culinary arts, but apparently that wasn’t enough.
Really, I would have been fine with Dale winning. I really liked him, and he seemed like a decent chef, but Hung? Are you kidding me? He’s such a jerk, and most of his food looks really nasty! And the fact that he was endorsed by Marcel sets of bells and whistles in my head and signals an immediate dislike by myself.
The fact that he was “classically trained” shouldn’t be a huge factor in deciding the winner, in my opinion. I’m still hoping that the past few days have been a dream, and that in a few minutes I’m going to wake up and it’s going to be time for the real finale (oh, and can we talk about Padma’s 80’s prom dress? wtf?).
LONG LIVE CASEY!
CASEY SHOULD HAVE WON THE ELIMINATION CHALLENGE. I HATE LOATHE HUNG.
