same show" on Lifetime tonight

post from reality blurred on 20 August 2009 09:59:05 AM. © reality blurred

After more than a year of off-screen drama, Lifetime welcomes Project Runway to its network with 3.5 hours of the show tonight: a two-hour all-star competition at 8 p.m. ET followed by the sixth-season premiere at 10. That's followed immediately--no commercial break--by the half-hour Models of the Runway, which picks up exactly where the show left off, but gives us the show from the backstage perspective of the models. I talked to two of the... keep reading »

Top Chef - My Vice Is Watching Reality Television

post from Television Without Pity on 20 August 2009 09:51:04 AM. © Television Without Pity

Sin City Vice: A new crop of cheftestants arrives in Las Vegas where they immediately start to differentiate themselves through their experience and accolades -- not a lot of recent culinary school grads in this group! Wolfgang Puck serves as celebrity judge and manages to crack Colicchio up throughout, and the food looks pretty amazing.

Rick Bayless wins near-perfect Top Chef Masters
as Vegas season throws out twists

post from reality blurred on 20 August 2009 09:13:13 AM. © reality blurred

Top Chef Masters ended its first season perfectly last night, with the three remaining chefs--Rick Bayless, Michael Chiarello, and Hubert Keller--creating four-course meals based upon their lives as chefs. Rick Bayless, who owns Topolobampo, a restaurant in Chicago "that's a favorite of the Obamas," won the $100,000 prize for his charity, the Frontera Farmer Foundation. They were judged by the three critics, plus Top Chef's real judges (Padma, Tom, and Gail), and the five winners... keep reading »

Ratings boom for Bravo's Flipping Out

post from TV Squad on 20 August 2009 09:02:00 AM. © TV Squad

jeff_lewis_bravo_flipping_out Last night, everybody's favorite obsessive compulsive decorator and house flipper, Jeff Lewis, was back on Bravo, and the ratings for Flipping Out were through the roof. The Season Three premiere was the highest ever for the reality show, up 53 percent from last season's opener.

More important than the numbers, though, was the show itself. If you want to see how the recession has hit the real estate business, check out this show. Instead of flipping million dollar homes in Southern California, Jeff is now reduced to taking renovation jobs and working for other people. He's not used to having to work for others, but it's great to see it happen.

Paula Abdul having "no discussions whatsoever"
about American Idol, "feels free"

post from reality blurred on 20 August 2009 08:55:55 AM. © reality blurred

Anonymously sourced/fake gossip reports be damned: Paula Abdul is not in talks about returning to American Idol. That's according to her new manager, David Sonenberg, who, if anything, is too honest; he revealed Paula wouldn't return almost three weeks before she announced she wasn't coming back. Now, he told the Los Angeles Times there have been "no discussions whatsoever about 'Idol.'" Although Paula would "never count anything out," she is talking to other people, he... keep reading »

Big Brother's challenge creator revealed: a
"drug-addled monkey"

Thanks to the (satirical) behind-the-scenes video below, we now know where Big Brother's challenges come from: a drug-addled monkey. That's according to KCS Cougar's hysterical animated take on the show, which EW's Popwatch introduced me to. KSC Cougar has also offered other reality show videos, including meet the cast of NYC Prep, the Real Housewives of NYC reunion, and The Real Housewives of NJ talking to each other on the phone. None are quite as... keep reading »

TV Tonight: Project Runway Season Six!

It's finally here! After a network battle, a pregnancy for Heidi Klum and a lot of waiting, Project Runway returns tonight, now on Lifetime. As we know, the network isn't the show's only new home - we'll also see what life is like for the designers over on the West Coast instead of in New York. Before you tune in tonight, brush up on the new designers who will be competing every week.

I'm equally excited to see the fan favorites compete in the all-star challenge, which reminds me - have you filled out our bracket yet?

Most of you said you're still excited for the show even after all the drama, and we'll tear it all apart and analyze it tomorrow! So, are you in or are you out?
