I go back and forth with my opinions of Adam Lambert. Sometimes I think I understand who he is, and sometimes I don't think we'll ever know who the real Adam really is. The more and more I see, I keep thinking it'll clear it all up for me, but ...
After having the following conversation with some friends after the American Idol results show tonight, I decided to turn it into a post. There are two necessary ingredients to being a winner, whether it's the winner of a reality show, the winner of a poker game, or the winner of ...
This is the final chance to win a Who Wants to Be a Millionaire giveaway. Reality Shack has been excited to offer you three gift pack giveaways to coincide with Sweeps Month promotions. The celebrities seem to be having a lot of fun, and Millionaire is making sure the fans ...
ABC's latest Bachelor appears almost perfect on paper. He's cute enough. He's a Navy Lieutenant, he's a doctor, a humanitarian, a former Sunday school teacher, and he's an Iron Man triathelete. He's also sensitive. This past week we saw him attend to an injured Bevin, even accompanying her to the ...
Last night, when Chef Ramsay let Krupa go, we were told that he wasn’t done. Tonight we find out what that means. I wish it meant we were saying goodbye to Elise or Jonathan but I don’t think I will be so lucky. We didn’t even have to wait a week to find out, since Fox is airing these shows back to back every week. Well, let us find out now. Chef Ramsay tells both the teams they are lacking in leadership and asks them [...]
Hell’s Kitchen, Aug. 8 – Wading in the Wellingtons Well, I am getting better; only two days behind now. Soon our kids will be back in school, the days will be shorter, and Chef Ramsay will have trimmed away all of the fat left in the kitchen. I know drama equals ratings, but I don’t have to like it. Hopefully tonight the eliminated contestant will be one of the remaining that could not possibly manage a staff, much less an entire restaurant. Time to see. [...]
According to the last show’s previews, tonight’s show looks interesting. I’m settled in, have my iced coffee and chocolate flourless torte leftovers from last night’s birthday celebration of all things. Chocolate and Gordon Ramsay, what more could I ask for? Chef Ramsay has sent the contestants back up to the dorms, after giving them his pep talk. Jamie and Elise are walking out of the kitchen arm in arm. Jamie is giving Elise a pep talk telling her she needs to get somewhere between being [...]
Chino may be happy he went home last week; Hurricane Elise is about to hit the kitchen. Elise was so confident she had the backing of her team during the elimination that Chef Ramsay polled all of the ladies. Tonight’s episode starts off with the contestants headed back upstairs after a heated elimination. Elise tells the rest of the contestants that she has learned a valuable lesson tonight. Could it be, “Cooperate?” How about, “Listen.” Okay maybe, “Teamwork.” Nope, she has learned the lesson of [...]
Hell’s Kitchen, July 26 – Olympic Swimming in Salad Dressing It’s a good thing I work for free, or I would have been fired and sent packing. Sorry to everyone that reads weekly; hit one of those bumpy life patches, and HK recapping and watching has fallen at my feet. Today is my birthday and I will be spending it recapping the three shows that I have missed. It is very hard to stay away from any media to spoil the eliminations, but I have [...]
I can’t remember a time in Hell’s Kitchen, that right off the bat, there has been such a weak Blue team. Tonight we find out which Red team member would make their way over to the Blue Kitchen. There are a couple of women that have trouble working together; hopefully it will be one of them. Last week Don Juan was booted off with his aura, if he hadn’t been, my guess is that Carrie would have gone over there. I still have a bad [...]
Two nights in a row of double Gordon Ramsay; reality TV doesn’t get any better for a fan. After the premiere episode last night, I have my long list of must-leaves. It seems every season half of the cast is there to aggravate and agitate the audience and the other chefs. For all we know that might be part of the elimination process. Anyone that has worked in a kitchen at a busy restaurant knows that there is always that one person you just want [...]
I am so excited to welcome everyone to Season 9 of Hell’s Kitchen! Hopefully I will be able to not only recap the show for you, but also bring a smile to your face. If you have been watching Masterchef you have been seeing a kinder, gentler Chef Ramsay, one who is interested in teaching the home cooks. Now it is time for the name calling, tough-as-nails, perfectionist Chef Ramsay that we all know and love. I am hopeful that this episode will start as [...]
Tonight marks the end of yet another season of Hell’s Kitchen. The first ten minutes are flashbacks on all the loons they had in the kitchen at the beginning of the season. Makes you wonder which will be the producers chosen few to return to the kitchen and work under the final two. I am glad they did such a long flashback tonight because seven minutes into the show my wonderfully expensive service decided to reboot itself. When it turns back on I see Nona [...]
Tonight is the final four, again. I completely disagree that last weeks’ service was so smooth no one deserved to go home, but I am not Chef Ramsay. Tonight two people will be sent packing in a double elimination. The producers always love to try and fool us with their promos; I am hoping that is the case. It looks like Nona is kicked out of the kitchen. If Trev and Jillian are the final two, I am going to throw the entire sock drawer [...]
