Mid-August Drowsy
I feel divided about Sara getting the boot on Top Chef. On one hand: what a completely unfair challenge. If you are going to mess with people's minds and tell them they get a night off to go dancing and hang out, but instead make them do a challenge where they have to cook in a tiny, hot, trailer for a bunch of drunks, the very least you can do is allow them to change clothes. Sara pretty much got ridiculed by the judges by saying she was uncomfortable the whole night cooking in heels and a low-cut shirt. But seriously? That's some shit. It's one thing to make contestants walk into a challenge mentally unprepared, but it's not fair to make them walk into a challenge where some of them (the females) are at a physical disadvantage because of information given to them.
On the other hand, Sara made milkshakes with ice. I have never, in all my milkshake-making years heard of anyone adding ice to a milkshake.* And she's a chef, no less! So while I feel for Sara's party-clothed plight, I think the watery milkshakes deserve a kicking off in their own right.
I caught a few minutes of the new Real World (a bad habit I picked up when I was forced to watch the entire season they were located in Denver). I think this season may win most collectively cracked-out names in one season. Witness: Shauvon, Cohutta, Parisa, and my personal favorite, Dunbar. Even the semi-normal sounding KellyAnne seems made up. I don't think I can do this. If you see me watching this season of Real World, please turn off the television and drag me away. I should probably be doing something more active anyway. Like driving to pub quiz. Or scrolling through Rich's Rock of Love recaps.
*Not three days later I was making up a batch of White Russian milkshakes and lamenting the fact that the right amount of alcohol was making them on the thin side. The suggestion from the peanut gallery was to--of course--add ice. On a related note: White Russian milkshakes = deliciousness.
I feel your pain about the Real World. It's actually on right now and I can say this: these people seem especially horrible, so maybe it won't suck us in as easily.
i read that this year on the RW that there is a housemate who is just as disgusted by her roommates as the viewers are (something the writer of the article said was the first time this was really the case). does this seem true? i have not watched in years, i mostly allow myself to watch the RW/RR challenges, and that's only because i have a bad crush on theo the man whore.
