Thank you Nora. Now I can delete it from DVR without watching any more of it. I will probably bear through the reunion, mainly for the carnage.

I kept my promise to myself and did not watch TC last night! We'll see if I actually delete it w/out watching...

The commercials for this season have been scaring me. What the hell is this - Fear Factor? Not on, Bravo, not on.

lisah,
I didn't watch TC either. I wasn't going to bear it until I knew the winner. Now, I guess I'll watch it at some point in the next 60 days.

I really liked the blind tasting for sous chef. The jet ski thing was cute. I was glad that they let the Richard and Mike choose the style and do a mini resturant wars type deal. Spike spying (badly)on the judges cracked me up. Subtle isn't his stong suit. I could only make about 10 minutes of that stupid Watch What Happens Live - man that guy who hosts it is just annoying.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I'm just glad Carla won FF.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
So!
ita and I were talking guns over in Boxed Set, as one does, and it turns out you guys are watching Top Shot! Yay! I thought no one was, because the last thing I remember being said about it last season was the astute comment that the contestants were all, like, "And then I thought about having an emotion, but I remembered, and didn't." Which is true! But somehow doesn't diminish the drama for me. I kinda love that it's a competition show without the personalities that are always in competition shows.
So anyway, this season is great! I miss last year's female shooter, and wish she could have been grandfathered into this year's competition. I love how guys like Jay defy their storyline. I still wish he'd take expert advice, but he keeps winning, so what do I know? I cannot believe Daryl is out! Shock! Last week's twist was crazy; I was sure it was going to end up being Jay and Ashley up. I really like Ashley's personality, but I think Daryl was a better shooter than him.
I also love Chris, and can't stand George.
I wish the challenges were a tad less showy; I could totally watch them stand there and shoot at a static target and be happy. I don't love stuff like the trick shots, but they were fun to watch, if not necessarily indicative of the best talent.
