I haven’t been reading much the last few days…..I was hoping to be done with Trading Up by now. Actually I really wasn’t in the mood to read it (it wasn’t holding my interest) so I switched over to Lipstick Jungle. It’s okay so far, I’m about half done with it. I never did see the short-lived series so I don’t have anything to compare it to, which is a good thing.
As for TV shows: So You Think You Can Dance has been a snore so far. Actually that’s not really fair since I haven’t really been watching it much, so I’ll re-phrase and say that what I’ve seen so far isn’t that inspiring.
I love Bethenny Getting Married?. It’s a fun reality show compared to all of the Real Housewives drama. But, truth be told, I am a huge Bethenny fan!!
I’m loving Top Chef so far!! But I haven’t found a season or episode of this series that I haven’t liked. I watch any season/episode Bravo re-airs. I’m not liking Angelo so far, but I’m really liking Kenny!
My favorite on Real Housewives of New Jersey has now left the show so I’m not a happy girl. Dina Manzo always tried to rise above the fracas and not be a diva. I hope she comes back. I’ve come to like Caroline, Jacqueline is okay (although I really dislike her daughter…can you say brat?!), Teresa is just too over the top for me (can any one person be any more gaudy in their taste…ugh!), and then there’s Danielle. I have no words. She (along with her white trash friends) need to go far away from this show. And, I never ever want to see any of them on, or near, a stripper pole again. Especially Kim G and her white g-string undies. That was just too gross for words!!! Luckily, it seemed that Danielle wasn’t in this weeks episode much, so I’m hoping her storyline gets reduced drastically!
I’m really liking Losing It with Jillian. Anything that has to do with Biggest Loser, Jillian Michael’s or Bob Harper I will watch. It’s a great show which focuses on one family a week. With Jillian, Bob and the Biggest Loser leading the way, maybe this country can and will overcome the obesity problem that affects too many people!!!
I’m loving The Hills and The City. I don’t want The Hills to end. And the best part……we haven’t had to see Speidi at all! I have not missed them–not even a little. Their storyline was tired a long time ago when they moved in together. So glad they are gone. And, MTV, hopefully you won’t be bringing them back.
Since I watched The Hills/The City, I missed Kathy Griffin: My Life on the D List this week. Usually I plan my TV watching better. It was the beauty pageant episode. I really have to see that!! haha
I’m loving The Next Food Network Star this season. I have a couple of favorites and feel like the worst of the cooks have gone home. Well, they still have a few left but the very worst are gone. Buh-bye……..And, I really like how they added Giada D as a mentor. She is my favorite Celebrity chef on the Food Network.
Work of Art (on Bravo) is another new reality show I”m watching. It’s just okay so far. I love art and they are pretty talented, but the show kind of drags…..same old Bravo formula. Unfortunately, sometimes it just doesn’t translate. But I will still watch til the end.
Oh, I have a new reality show obsession: Cupcake Wars. Has anyone else seen this show on the Food Network?! I truly am obsessed and the show makes me want to run to my kitchen and make cupcakes.
And that leaves one other reality show that hasn’t started yet but, like millions of others, I eagerly anticipate it’s premiere every summer: Big Brother. I started watching this show during season 7 All-Stars (summer of 2006). I actually know one of the contestants: Danielle Reyes, who was originally on season 3 (which I never saw).
I feel like I’m forgetting a show, but I’m exhausted right now and can no longer think straight. So it’s off to bed for me. Good night!!
