why I love Bravo
May 30th, 2007 | by the insider |My adoration for Top Chef knows no bounds. To be truthful, I just love me some Bravo TV. Between Project Runway and Top Chef, for reality TV, Bravo is where it’s at, yo. :D
Chop and I did watch Top Design and Shear Genius, and save for a couple of shining moments, those two couldn’t hold a candle to the others. And really, I’m not entirely sure why. I think it’s a combination of weird judges (hi, did you see what that crazy Kelly wore on TD every week? and her hair too? wtf?), pretty-but-useless-and-hard-to-understand hosts (SG guy is Dutch? And has no qualifications save for being pretty? See, even this guy is checking him out! Granted, he’s posing, but seriously, wtf?) and weirdly uninspired challenges (particularly TD..also, Goil got shafted. SG had a few funny ones). It’s also possible that most of the people on those two are sorta forgettable, while hearing the name Stephen from season one of Top Chef still raises my hackles and makes me say, “why? why? why?” and “where?”
Anyway, my point is.. Top Chef is coming back! And even more fun… Season 1 and 2 are having a throwdown. The last four contestants from each season are having a cooking “grudge match” (their words, not mine).
Fun, fun, fun.

Hell’s Kitchen premiers June 4th, I think. Have you ever watched that one?

New guy? Huh? I watched the trailer online yesterday, as well as clips from the new season, and it’s still Gordon Ramsey.

Oof, OK, I skim.
The Man who Made Gordon Ramsay cry… an article on Salon.com.
Apparently he is taking over the British version. My bad. :D
