I am tired of Rupert. So very tired. I would like to put him in a time out box with Boston Rob and Amber and anyone with the last name Hantz and keep them all far, far away from Survivor in perpetuity. Aside from the unwelcome site of him once again on the show, I thought the first episode was fairly enjoyable. I'm gonna root for Colton's BF. He seems sweet and adorable.
That's one spunky little girl you've raised. I'm gonna eat her.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I am also very tired of Rupert, and I hope Candace kicks his butt off the island in the first duel.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
On Top Chef, it makes me crazy how the boys write off Jennifer, but I enjoy how much stuff she's won.

I can't with Survivor this year. Colton makes my skin crawl. Rupert is tiresome, but Colton? No. I don't need that in my life. I'm out this season.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
They do contemporary on DWtS? That's weird. I haven't watched that one in years, sounds like it has changed even more than I thought - I liked it when it was brand new and super cheesy but there was a certain amount of basic ballroom going on, at least.
Top Chef - I wonder if they booted Sang last week just so he could come back as the judge this week. I love how much Jennifer curses. OTOH, almost every comment Bryan makes makes annoys me, which I think is weird because I think he is probably objectively very likable, but he just rubs me the wrong way somehow.
I am so pleased that they showed the sous chef thing afterwards - I've been totally unable to get previous challenges to play on my laptop. I'm still of two minds on the sous chefs in general, especially with the winning immunity this week, although that it was a dish chosen by the Master made it make more sense to me. Anyway, it's interesting how very different the judging of the sous chefs seems to be. Speaking of judges, the comments about the food this week seemed particularly uninformative, I got no picture of what anything actually tasted like. Which I kind of get from the standpoint of describing amazing food is hard, but food critics ought to be better at it. I can't taste that calamari bolognese to understand why it is relatable, you know?
Project Runway: I'm just a little ways into it but I wanted to comment that the fans are adorable! And I guess somebody always has to make the "I've never designed for real women" comment, and this time it's Ken, and, yeah, it bugs me both for the this-is-not-who-I-design-for angle and the models-are-not-real-women angle BUT my primary reaction this time was - what, Ken never made his mother a dress? Seriously? Cause she seems plenty real.

Because books.
The superfans were awesome!

Bad news BB fans. Russell Hantz will be joining BB15.

I thought this season's obligatory "Real women, eek!" comment was less offensive than in the past, though of course editing has a lot to do with that. But in general I prefer the "Crap, I have no experience with non-models, I hope I do a good job" type of comment than the "Ugh, women bigger than a size 4 are IMPOSSIBLE TO DRESS, why are they making us do this."
Somehow I completely missed that Top Chef was back!! Crap!
