Big Brother: I can't even tell who I'm going to love and hate yet. Weird. I hope I don't hate everyone!
I just watched Thursday"s. I'm pretty sure I hate Joe and Jessica, and I have the feeling Kail might be a female Dr. Will. Danielle and Dick just make me kind of sad for both of them so far.
Did anyone watch any of the Big Brother After Darks?
Is anyone watching Big Brother right now? One of the girls is having a complete breakdown because of her picture! She's crying when they are all looking at them AND crying in the confessional. Sobbing, tears flowing just utterly devesated.
Yeah, that was hysterical. What a fucking idiot.
Danielle and Dick just make me kind of sad for both of them so far.
Yeah, even more so after tonight's ep.
I am freaking out with reality tv this week: the World Series of Pop Culture, Big Brother, So You Think You Can Dance, Top Chef...
I changed my mind about not wanting anyone to win TNFNS. I really want Amy to win now.
Yeah, that was hysterical. What a fucking idiot.
Seriously.
I think Kail is overplaying her hand early on.
I stumbled across TNFNS, tonight, and I gotta agree, I like Amy best.
sj, I totally agree. Amy was the best.
I was a bit surprised that they actually chose food knowledge over personality in deciding who went home.
Amy kicked so much ass last night -- and she would round out their set of winners.

I was thinking about the "points of view," too, and don't they already have "entertaining on a budget" in a show? Although I guess that's the kind of thing you can never have too much of.... But still -- "food no way you can make yourself" is not a viable Food Network show.

The vast majority of FN shows are some variation on this -- the only exceptions I can think of off the top of my head are Good Eats and Iron Chef. [edit: Oh, and the various eye candy travel shows, which are mainly about getting Giada into a bikini.) Everyone else is about impressing your guests without putting any effort/money into it.
