The Final 4 - Tali, Mandy, Anna, and Malissa - all got to go on solo dates with Luke, and we got to know more about each of them. And although Luke's elimination choice seemed pretty obvious this time around, he ended up getting rid of the one...

Rochester native Lorene was doing a lot of talking right from the beginning, and that had me worried. Typically when one of the non-pimped contestants is heavily interviewed in the episode it means they're in danger. Which she was. But I was...

Well THAT was an unpredictable night of reality television! The challenge: create a fun and fashionable surf-wear look. Making it more difficult was the fact that the designers had to work in teams of two. That's always a recipe for disaster....

Luke took his final three plus-sized ladies to Hawaii, and had solo dates with all of them. After trying to act as though he had equal and dramatic connections with all three - Malissa, Tali, and Mandy - he finally, FINALLY sent home the...

I went into the new "Melrose Place" with a mix of feverish anticipation and stomach-crunching dread. I've wanted my beloved "Melrose" back for years (the DVDs of the seasons are taking entirely too long to come out), but I didn't want it to...

Yes! "Dance" is back and this time we didn't even have to wait for the summer! Why they haven't done more than one season in a year before is beyond me, but I'm glad the producers finally got with the program.
Auditions kicked off in L.A. this...

French master Daniel Boulud was the guest judge, and Padma was curiously absent from the first half of the episode. For the Quickfire, the chefs had to cook with snails - excuse me, escargot - using them as the main protein. Not only was it a...

After two cycles that ranged somewhere between lackluster and downright awful, I really needed Tyra to restore my faith in this show with last night's debut of Cycle 13. And you know what? Bitch did it. Never count a good queen out! That was...

After her spat with Epperson last episode, Qristyl started off being worried about being seen as the bitch. When Gordana tried to explain that the issue was that she didn't stand up for herself early enough, Qristyl responded by...being a total...

Previously on "Fat Bachelor": A 300-lb. bachelor winnowed down 20 voluptuous women to his full-figured Final 2: Malissa and Tali. Along the way we lost some memorable ladies, from deranged Kristian to tragic Danielle to bitchface Lauren to...

The remaining 13 girls went to Wilhelmina� -- the agency that will be signing the winner - and had to do impromptu interviews with its casting director. Lulu claimed that she had to be a model because she loves fashion - but could not name a...

Auditions, Round 2. Ding! Tonight's episode took us to Phoenix, Arizona to find more potential contestants. This time Nigel and Mary were joined by the one, the only Mia Michaels. I love that bitch - and she usually is a bitch at auditions. If...

Nicolas started off the episode doing a ton of shit-talking. He's awfully confident for someone who has yet to even place in the top of any challenge I can think of. For this week's challenge Tim took the designers to the Los Angeles Times...

We're still slowly chugging along through these audition specials (anyone else feel like they're taking longer than usual?). Tonight's audition episode took us to Boston. I don't know if they've ever gone to Boston before. Joining Nigel and Mary...

Just when I thought that damned red neck scarf is gone, the remaining chefs decided to wear them in honor of Mattin, the French chef who couldn't cook French food. All of the chefs seemed a bit bitter that Mattin went home last week and felt that...

The designers all seemed to agree that the competition is getting stiffer. Well, duh. But I will say that I think the field this time around is quite strong. There are six or eight designers that I could see making the F3. Last time I don't think...

The 15th (!) season of the Emmy Award-winning "Amazing Race" kicked off Sunday with a hilarious, promising premiere that nearly lived up to the cheese wheel challenge from last season's opener. I'm sorry I didn't post my full blog Monday...
