I was all set to congratulate the Food Network for starting a new cooking program featuring a Southern gay couple until I realized they were Paula Deen's sons doing a Mother's Day show.

the older one is married, but I think that the younger one might be gay.

I realized they were Paula Deen's sons doing a Mother's Day show.

LOL.

Given that the younger one is the butcher of the two, I'm only dropping the "couple" half of my initial assumption for sure.

I'm watching the first episode of The Voice on demand, and love that Cee-Lo recognized Frenchie Davis right off the bat, even though I don't think he turned around for her. I just love all four of their reactions to people, both listening without looking, and then when they turn around. So fun, this show! I wonder how the rest of the "rounds" will go.

Ugh, Top Chef Masters. I really hate the TC and TC:M producers now that they just try to actively sabatoge the cheftestants every week. Damn, especially with TC:M, I just want to see good chefs cook food.

I hate this new goddamn format for TC:M too. It's boring. And I hate Curtis Stone. And I miss Jay and Gael. Wah!!

I don't mind Curtis Stone, but I hate this season of Masters. I don't know who anybody is and I don't much care to root for anyone so far. I miss Jay and Gael, too, although I don't mind the female judge who does The Hungry Girl blog, I think it is?

Yeah, I hate the format, and think it contributes to the not knowing who anyone is. That and there only being so many household-name chefs, of course.

The only name I recognize this time around was Traci DesJardins, who is doing quite well.

Root for Hugh Acheson! He's my local guy! I have been to his restaurant!

Hugh and his unibrow really irritate me. But I'm glad his food is good.

TAR: Zev and Justin. Oh, you poor noodles.
