Last night, I sent myself an e-mail with bullet points about the shows I’ve watched on TV this week. I knew I’d forget to post today without them.
Here’s what I’ve watched, and my mini-opinions on each:
Gossip Girl: I’m still absolutely fabulously enjoying the repeat episodes of Gossip Girl, and am anxiously awaiting the new episodes starting on April 21st. Each week I fall more and more in love with Blair, who can manipulate and bully while at the same time be completely insecure and fragile. All props go to Leighton Meester, who can switch it up from good-girl to queen bee bitch in the blink of an eye. Fabulous.
Biggest Loser: We’re getting toward the end of the season on The Biggest Loser, and the contestants have lost a LOT of weight. Which, hey, great for them, but am I the only one who thinks that a couple of them may have lost enough? I guess I figure that the camera adds a little roundness, so when I see the folks starting to look too angular and sunken, I get worried. For real – after the finale, someone give Ali and Mark a sandwich already, OK?
Top Chef: Note to Richard: OK, so last week you and your team of Andrew and Dale served salmon with faux-caviar a swoosh of sauce. And you won, which was great. But I couldn’t help but notice that this week, you and your team of Andrew (again) and Mark served salmon with faux-caviar and a swoosh of sauce (again). Come on! Sure, you may have prepared it differently, and even though I couldn’t taste it I could see through my TV screen that the fish did look a little… mushy. Next week – ditch the fancy smoker, ditch the salmon, ditch the faux-humble routine, and get back to some good cooking, OK?
