BAD GIRLS CLUB GETS BADER?










Oxygen’s hit reality series Bad Girls Club, returned for a whole new season Wednesday Dec 3rd. The season’s premier introduces us to seven new “bad” girls:

1.Aliea from Buford, GA
2.Amber (Cookie, Ninja) from Montevideo, MN
3.Amber B from Pittsburg, PA
4.Kayla from Compton, CA
5.Sarah from Milwaukee, WI
6.Tiffany from Chicago, IL
7.Whitney (Boston) from Boston, MA

Now, I’m not an expert on the Bad Girls Club. I have only seen parts of the last two seasons but yes these ladies seem “bad” to me.
The girls arrive to a locked house and decide breaking windows (see pic above) is the way to get in. Not sure what you readers think, but the producers locking the house to me seemed like an invite for such behavior.

After the girls settled in, they proceeded to go clubbing and get kicked out of as many as they go into. To say this lightly, Kayla gets defensive when she drinks and her actions lead to the girl’s club kick outs.

The next day, a huge house fight breaks out over a poor joke and attempted farming out of chore duties by Amber “Cookie”. Kayla, Whitney “Boston” and Aliea have to hold back the urge of doing physical harm to Amber, until she apologizes and the house calms down. It’s hard for me to take sides in this fight as I don’t know the people well enough yet. Amber is naïve and has to be careful about her comments. Seems this year a lot of the girls are looking to hear any words that could spark a fight.

The episode ends as the newly made up house goes out to eat. Unfortunately, their dinner doesn’t last long as Kayla throws her drink on a loud-mouthed, unknown restaurant patron and the girls are kicked out again.

What I saw in this first episode could definitely classify as “bad” girl behavior. Not sure if I can stick to this week after week if the constant yelling continues. I guess we’ll see how it goes. If you have any opinions please comment below. What do you think about the house fight or Kayla’s drink throwing?

TOP CHEF GOES NEW YORK STYLE

Bravo’s Top Chef started its 5th season four weeks ago, in the city of all cities, New York. If you haven’t seen Top Chef before there is no time like the present. With only four episodes aired, the action is still heating up.
Besides the shows move to New York, this season has made other changes by including international chefs Stefan and Fabio. While both chefs now reside in California, both grew up and were culinary educated in Europe. I think this adds a nice spin to the Top Chef competition to see how the European training stacks up to the U.S. With 5 of the 8 challenge wins, won by Stefan and Fabio, they are off to a running start.
In the first four weeks we have seen five chefs eliminated:

1.Lauren: First challenge in week 1
2.Patrick: Elimination Challenge in week 1
3.Jill: Elimination Challenge week 2
4.Richard: Elimination Challenge week 3
5.Alex: Elimination Challenge week 4

With 12 chefs left, the Top Chef Crown is far from being determined. Some early picks for my Top Chef winner are Fabio and Radhika. They both have two wins each and definitely seem to be on the judges’ radar. For a dark horse pick I’m going with Jamie. Yes, I know she was almost eliminated Wednesday Dec 3rd. But to me she seems to have that edge and fire, of a winning chef. Also, having an elimination win and being very close to multiple quickfire wins shows she has the skills.
If you have some picks for the Top Chef winner please comment below, I’d love to know if you agree or disagree with me.

Top Chef is on Bravo every Wednesday night with multiple airings so please watch. And check back here at TVT Reality for recaps of every upcoming episode, and any news and rumors. I will also be putting out a Bio post of a Top Chef contestant every week. Thank you for reading and as always leaving comments is appreciated.

The Amazing Races Final 3

The Amazing Race is coming to an end and on November 30 we learned who the final 3 teams racing for a million dollars will be:

1.Nick and Starr: Brother and sister team who have dominated the race thus far.
2.Ken and Tina: Separated married couple who have had their ups and downs but remained strong throughout.
3.Andrew and Dan: Underdog frat boys, who seem to be right out of the Knocked Up/Superbad movies.

Who will be the winner? On Sunday December 7, the season long question will be answered. My pick for the million dollars is going to Nick and Starr. I picked them after the first episode and they have stayed consistent almost every week since. They are competitive, smart and athletic. As long as their Taxi luck is decent, it will be hard for the other teams to beat them.

Second place I believe will go to Ken and Tina. Like Nick and Starr, Ken and Tina have been fierce competitors throughout the race. They have only had one bad leg of the race that landed them in last place. Lucky for them it was a non-elimination leg. If their luck continues, Nick and Starr will have their hands full trying to beat them.

Third place well let me first start by saying Andrew and Dan have been entertaining to say the least. If they do win, it will be one of the biggest underdog wins in The Amazing Race history. As much as I like to root for underdogs, I can’t see a comeback story here. The video below shows some of the reasons why I would be surprised if they did win.

The winner of The Amazing Race will be crowned in only a few days. Don’t miss next Sundays exciting season finale. Please come back to this TVT Reality blog for recaps and news about the Finale. Thank you for reading and as always commenting is welcomed.
