This week begins with a visit to Marissa’s moderate home so that she and Caroline can drone on and on about Thanksgiving. The ladies flop down in bed, perform the ritualistic Removal Of The Boots, and reminisce about a Thanksgiving dinner that, thankfully, landed on the cutting room floor. Continue reading

Season Premiere: House Of DVF
Welcome to the second season of House Of DVF, where fashion icon and walking wrap dress Diane Von Furstenberg conducts the most elaborate job interview ever to find its new brand ambassador. Basically, the job candidates have to work for DVF until all but one drop. But…what are they gonna do with the old brand ambassador, Brittany Hampton? I guess just toss her on the heaping pile of former somethingorothers because she’s about to be replaced. But before that happens, she is contractually obligated to help select her upgrade, with a smile and a smize. Wait, no, wrong show. Anyway, to the reaping! Continue reading
byThere’s Time To Iron In The Zombie Apocalypse?!
Where did Carol get her extensive collection of sensible ladies’ wear? And how are her collars so neatly pressed in the zombie apocalypse? It’s all just so contrary to everything I know about the end of civilization. Maggie, too. She’s sporting a pressed button-down that is less wrinkled than I’ve been on any job interview.

byGirls Is Back And Mediocre Than Ever

And if I can’t, I’ll just go to grad school. Continue reading
The Walking Mullet
Three episodes left in what has been a comparatively decent season of The Walking Dead and our smelly little friends can’t seem to get themselves off of their new metaphorical farm. It’s a mere six hundred or so miles from Atlanta to Washington, D.C., yet these yokels have barely made it to the exurbs. Continue reading

MERRRRRGE! MERGE! MERGE! MERGE! The loved ones are reunited, the singles see a glimmer of hope, and everyone gorges on food because heaven forbid a Survivor contestant goes a day with the tummy rumbles. Continue reading
bySurvivor Episode 6: Gimme All Of Your Stuff
I can’t concentrate on anything during this week’s Survivor except the impending visit from Jeff Probst. What will he ask the blue tribe for in exchange for food? While we wait for the wheeling and dealing to start, Dale presents a faux Immunity Idol to some key tribe mates on the orange tribe. Jon buys it because Jon is an idiot. Continue reading
