What Have I Done?

The more I watch Last Comic Standing, the more it's down to Chris or Josh. Of course we aren't seeing enough of the rest of them to really know I suppose...

The comics are not really thinking strategy...you shouldn't mind getting challenged for the head to head to head (or tonight's version which had another head, since there were four...). Sure, you have a chance at getting eliminated but the key to winning this show is to get maximum exposure. Dat Phan won the first year not because he was the funniest but they kept challenging him and by the time the home viewers got to vote, they'd grown to like him because he had to do stand up each week...they saw him most. So if they were smart, they wouldn't just try to weed out the un-funny; they'd challenge each other as much as possible and get the most exposure.

That said, no one is really as funny as the season John Heffron won.

You DONKEY!

Oh Chef Ramsey. What did I do without you all this past year?
How I've missed you and your bleeped out yelling so...

Tonight on Hell's Kitchen, the chefs had to serve a restaurant filled with children hopped up on pixie stix and handed silly string. For the first time, they actually served the entire restaurant. Of course, as Ramsey later pointed out, that just manages to prove that they are successful as fast food cooks and not so much as chefs. Because the dinner service just totally sucked.

Tom finally was sent packing and Sara, oh Sara you beeyatch. Sara managed to screw her team over, again. This time it was Virginia who was relying on Sara for something for her part of the meals and was told by Sara it was ready. Then when Ramsey asked for it, it wasn't ready and it looked like Virginia was fibbing to Ramsey. doh!

And Rachel fell apart, too. Looks like this contest is down to Heather and Garrett.

Big Brother All Stars?

Since I only watched the first season and the sixth season, I don't know most of the nominees. But I'm pretty sure some of them (Janelle) are a given regardless of the America's Choice vote.

I'm almost tempted to want James in the house more than Kaysar...but I do love the thought of Kaysar getting his third chance to win, now knowing that he was wrong to trust someone.

Why I Love Chris Hansen

In case you haven't caught the multiple repeats of Dateline: To Catch A Predator, I love Chris Hansen because of the following quote:

"You're naked, chasing a cat, you've got Cool Whip..."

Fire...

So Hell's Kitchen is back and I'm so glad.

The best part about this Apprentice rip-off is that Gordon Ramsay has the guts to ignore his version of project manager and he will boot off whomever he chooses. So the politics of the game are pretty much gone.

I also wonder: do people who show up to eat at Hell's Kitchen actually eat before they get there? Do they honestly think they'll get a meal there? He's always shutting it down.


And thus begins the summer season of tv. I plan to watch this, Big Brother All Stars (if Kaysar and Janelle are on, that is) and Rock Star Supernova.
