If you thought that I stopped watching television, you’d be wrong. So wrong. It’s just that there’s nothing new to watch. So for the past couple of weeks I’ve been gobbling up the first three seasons of Downton Abbey, and I am nearly through the first season of American Horror Story. And with every new year comes a new season of television, ripe for recapping. So starting in January, there’ll be all new recaps: Continue reading

Project Runway All Stars Season 3, Episode 8: Nina’s Trending
So last week on Project Runway All Stars, we got rid of Irina, or Elena — I can never tell the two apart. And what kind of spectacular challenge will the remaining six designers face this week? Make an outfit for a fashion blogger in the next big trend for 2014. Hey! How come nobody is making me an outfit? Grumble, grumble, grumble. Continue reading
Recap: How I Met Your Mother: Bass Player Wanted
It’s 20 hours before the stupid wedding, and Marshall is walking the last five miles to the hotel with a baby dangling from his chest. Then, the mysterious mother pulls over to ask if he needs a lift, which he does. Continue reading
Survivor Season Finale
It’s the Survivor season finale, but there are still three people rotting away on Redemption Island. Two of those people are chomping at the bit to pair up with Ciera, which means this is still anyone’s game. Continue reading
byProject Runway All Stars Season 3, Episode 7: As Sewn on TV
We’re down to six designers for “As Sewn on TV”—Christopher, Viktor, Seth Aaron, Irina, Korto, and Elena—and they’re headed to QVC by helicopter. Which is a weird way to travel to Pennsylvania, but hey. Why not? Once there, the designers learn that QVC puts on some sort of gala-red-carpet-something-or-other, and they must design a gown for Lisa Robertson (one of the QVC program hosts) to wear at the big event. Her only requirements are that she needs to sit, stand, and move in the dress. Which is not much to ask for, but I guess it needs to be spelled out or else who knows what she would get.

Survivor, Episode 13: Out on a Lamb
Katie joins her mommy on Redemption Island in this week’s Survivor, and Tina starts thinking that maybe she should let Katie win. I guess that’s sweet, if not a tad presumptive. Back at camp, Tyson blames Gervase for letting Ciera know that she is on the bottom of the alliance, which is what sparked the desperate rock-draw because when you have no game left, you might as well leave it up to luck. Continue reading
byThe Amazing Race Season Finale
OMG, it’s the final episode of The Amazing Race and I almost care who wins! After a season filled with lying, yelling, crying, and a little bit of running, one of the teams is going to be a million dollars richer. And I’ll be mildly annoyed if it’s not the Doctors, even though they barely have a snowball’s chance in hell (don’t they just seem perpetually jetlagged?). Continue reading
Project Runway All Stars Season 3, Episode 6: In Marge We Trust
Top Chef Season 11, Episode 9: Restaurant Wars
Oh, Restaurant Wars. How much do I love thee? Eh, not so much, actually. It’s become a tad predictable—never do front of the house, and always have a complete dish to stand behind but not salad, because nobody ever wins Top Chef with a salad. Continue reading
Survivor, Episode 12: Rustle Feathers
Last week on Survivor, Tyson used his immunity idol for no good reason and Caleb was sent to Redemption Island. Back at camp, Hayden points out the obvious, that Tyson has this game locked up, and Gervase flips out because he thinks that he’s the one in charge. But enough of that, let’s go to the Redemption Island Arena. Continue reading
