New Addictions

 

Though some people believe that all reality TV is trash, I would say that Millionaire Matchmaker can be categorized as classy reality television. The show is about finding love, after all! There’s no crime in that right?

This… and Real World Wednesdays are the only reality television shows that I will succumb to.

Brad and Rachel Split

When I first read the headline of the article, I immediately thought that Rachel and her husband were splitting up. Silly me – Roger is her husband, it’s Brad Goreski who is her assistant. If you’ve ever watched the show, you would see that it is easy to mix up the two. Brad and Roger share just as much screen time with Rachel and both satisfy her needs in different ways that you would naturally believe that they are both married to her!

The Rachel Zoe Project became my guilty pleasure this summer making sure that it was always on during my Saturday mornings while I was making breakfast. I’ve been a long time fan of her work and her books, which I don’t buy myself, but still manage to read during my trips to Borders.

This morning, news was released that Brad would be leaving his position with Rachel, but not his friendship. This isn’t another Taylor situation because this split was amicable.

According to People, Brad explained, “I love Rachel and she’s taught me everything I know. But there’s a point where either I do it now or I’ll never know what it’s like to spread my wings and soar.”

Brad, you will surely be missed. We are wishing you the best of luck – we just know you’ll do great things!

Top Chef Just Desserts

I recently acquired both internet and cable at my place and last night was a total television night.

The Lineup:

  • Victorious
  • iCarly
  • Hellcats
  • The Real World
  • Top Chef Just Desserts
  • Top Chef
  • World of Jenks

I was up until 1:30 watching all of this, but anyways this post is designated to the Top Chef spin off. Anyone catch it last night? I love desserts. Sometimes I think I enjoy it more than food because I love how creative you can get with it. It is no doubt also one of the hardest types of food to make because you can’t just “wing it” like you can when cooking other types of food. You need exact ingredients and exact measurements. I thought the show was fantastic though. It follows the same route as its big brother Top Chef in that everyone has a quickfire challenge before the elimination challenge. Whoever wins the quickfire receives immunity. The contestants are such characters! You can already tell that there’s going to be drama with quite a few of them.

My favorite is Zac Young because he puts “disco dust” i.e. edible glitter on his desserts!

Downtown Girls

I caught the premiere last night online at MTV.com and when I sat down to finally write this review it was past my bedtime. I decided to let my thoughts on the show simmer overnight and this is what I have concluded.

Prior to watching the show, I had heard a lot of comparisons that Downtown Girls was similar to Sex and the City and The Hills. If you liked Sex and the City, this was good news to you. If you didn’t like the Hills, you weren’t looking for another wannabe.

I can safely say that it is a mix of the two. Downtown Girls features five established women in their mid-twenties who live in Manhattan. What I like about the show is that they have real jobs. Reality television lives up to its name. I have no idea if these women are getting paid for each episode they film unlike the actors on The Hills. [Yeah, I said it.] At least you’re not left wondering where they actually work and how they acquire all of their money when they do absolutely nothing. These women are beautiful, smart, and fun. They’re the type of women you want to be when you’re about 24-25. Correction: They live the life that I would like to live when I’m 24 or 25. Another question I’ve been wondering about is why this show is on MTV? Why this network? It seems more like something for Bravo or even E!

The show is funny, witty, and gets to the point quick. There are no dull moments. The best part doesn’t happen at the end and there are no awkward pauses and screen shots of just glances and shady looks like in The Hills.

I’ve also decided that MTV has been putting out a decent array of shows lately excluding 16 and Pregnant and The Hills franchise etc. Let’s hope they keep it up. I also believe that the best shows stick around for just one season. If there is more than one season, the shows start to become more rehearsed because everyone knows what to expect. This is true w/ Parental Control, The Hills, Real World, etc whereas the best shows that last for one season only are loved because they are fresh Rich Girls, The Paper, PoweR Girls, and Wanna Come In?

What do you think?

Kelly Cuthrone has been one of my idols for a very long time. I would love to know what it is like to work with her PR firm. I also like the idea that she has her own TV show on Bravo “Kell on Earth” which is incredibly addicting. She now has a YouTube channel along with all of the above. Here she is w/ her adorable daughter Ava.
