"America's Next Top Model" Cycle 15, Episode 1: Top Model goes legit

It's no surprise to say that "Top Model" has never been viewed as a legitimate part of the fashion industry. While some designers and brands and other fashion folks have used the show's reach to hock their wares to that 20/30something female...

"America's Next Top Model" Cycle 15, Episode 2: Bully for you

Is it just me, or do some of these girls actually look like models? I see some actual potential this time around. Chelsey has a great face. Kendal really is beautiful. I'm completely, utterly in love with Liz. But there is chaff, of course. The...

"Top Chef," "Just Desserts": A disappointing end, a promising beginning

Last night saw the finale of the seventh season of "Top Chef," and the debut of its newest spin-off, "Just Desserts." Unlike most critics I enjoyed this D.C.-based season of "TC" - I found it much more exciting and unpredictable than the previous...

"Project Runway" 8: Jackie O would not have camel toe

Boy, somebody pissed in the judges' Corn Flakes last night. I don't think I have ever seen such savaging on this show. They were brutal to the Bottom 3, and in fact so unpleasant that they even mocked one of the outfits that ended up in the top!...

"Glee" Season 2, Episode 1: Someone is listening!

I'll admit it: I'm one of the critics who have been very vocal about our massive issues with "Glee." Please understand, I like the show - there are times I downright love it - but Season 1 really was a narrative mess held together mostly by a...

"America's Next Top Model" Cycle 15, Episode 3: Between heaven and hell

Handkerchiefs over the models' heads during interviews can mean only one thing: MAKEOVERS! Tyra came by for a surprise visit, like she did in the old days, before she got too busy for that shit. She did something cool in handing out the girls'...

"Top Chef: Just Desserts" Episode 2: Just CRAZY!

It had some issues, but I thought the first episode of "Just Desserts" was promising. Since then I've read many, many comments all over the web complaining about the extreme drama on the show, at least in comparison to other "Top Chef" shows, and...

"Top Chef": Critiquing the "All-Stars" cast

Last night's "Top Chef DC" reunion was kind of a dud. Most of the drama was quickly dispatched - nobody really thinks Angelo was trying to sabotage anyone, Ed didn't feel like sous chef Ilan blew his chances in the finale (although several other...

"Project Runway" 8: An unbelievably tight race for hideous

Man, the judging this season is driving me nuts. They are more ruthless than ever, just trashing these people and their taste levels, and Michael Kors isn't even making it go down easier with his hilarious comparisons anymore. They're all so...

“Amazing Race” 17, Episode 1: Dumb and dumber

I feel like I say this every time we have a new edition of "The Amazing Race," but: dumbest racers EVER. I can't count how many times I full-on facepalmed last night; the stupidity just kept coming. And the thing is, I feel like the show was...

“Top Model” Cycle 15, Episode 4: Tyra ate all the carrot cake

The episode opened with what must be the lamest barbecue in the history of the world. Seriously, even the notoriously dull Rezsnyak reunions are exciting by comparison. Kacey - who the other girls repeatedly reminded us had a boyfriend waiting on...

“Top Chef: Just Desserts” Episode 3: This cookie tastes like resentment

The episode began with Seth basically saying that he doesn't give a shit if he alienates everyone else in the competition, he wants to win blah blah blah whatevercakes. Eric remained shocked that he, a mere baker, had managed to survive two weeks...

“Project Runway” 8: Fashion is not for sissies

I'm going to call that the worst episode of the season. Certainly it was the worst fashion show. Only one of those outfits was even remotely fashionable, and that was the rightful winner. But truly, this was the first episode where I noticed that...
