Finally Place 17 and excited!

by Catherine Neal

topchef.jpgYes! I’m in place 17 out of 40 at the Watching Survivor Pool. It’s been just as much of a struggle as the contestants of Survivor Micronesia because I literally have to fight with my husband to watch the show.

By watching clips and checking out fellow Survivor fans sites I was able to figure out that Chet would not be voted off the island this week and would not be his teams demise.

Will I be able to beat out the other people I tied with and move my way into the top 5?

Favorites are really dominating the game on the island. I can’t believe that Mikey B was kicked off the island. Did Chet make a deal with the island Gods or something? If all you’re doing is hanging around then get off of the island.

Are you as excited as I am with the new shows that are soon to be crossing our television screen? The kitchen is going to be heating up with Top Chef: Chicago and Hell’s Kitchen 4.

Here’s last season’s Top Chef winner Hung Huynh teaching a few knives skills at New York Magazine. I swear if those knives was hitting metal things would be blowing up.

Speaking of things blowing, I can’t forget Hell’s Kitchen 4. I love to cook and even thought about a career in cooking but I don’t think I could deal with the head Chef screaming at me all the time.

Please don’t tell me that all kitchen’s are like this!

    Just a small thing that concerns me about “reality” TV….

    WHY is it always so DIVORCED from reality?

    Not once have we seen reality in action as such. These games, and thats just what they are, ALWAYS are won by the biggest backstabber and/or the one that can best manipulate the “voting” around him/her….

    Group survival depends ENTIRELY on TEAM ACTIO and effort….the fact that these complete waste of pixels are based on totally opposite concepts from that which we actually practice is to me, very undramatic, uninspiring, and just plain BORING…

    If you want reality TV….heres a few sugestions…..

    Strap a camera to the back of a patrol of Allied soldiers in Iraq…you’ll get enough reality out of that one to last you a lifetime….

    Put a camera on a beautiful woman, give her a bunch of cash, and send her out to pick up any fellow that takes her “fancy”…..you’ll find the results here will more than suprise you as to how SHALLOW this reality show will be….

    Put a camera on the back of the average GREENPEACE anti-whaling activist, and find out just how little these people achieve in the way of actually changing policy…..and also, find out how your average donation is wasted on these new age hippies, with the amount of time actually spent getting anything done….

    Put hidden cameras in a courtroom….the most unlikely one of all for strictly legal purposes, and find out how the court system REALLY works…and not JUDGE JUDY either…thats about as real as Seinfeld….put cameras on to DEFENCE lawyers as they “plea bargain” and manipulate the system for the good of their clients and to the undoubted detriment of us all as these people WALK FREE for reasons that only the legals themselves understand….

    The possibilites for REALITY TV are endless, but the current crop of “reality” tends to make entertaining it’s viewers the first priority…so why refer to this as REALITY TV……why not “PSEUDO-REALITY TV”

    This is not a humor post….it’s a set attempt to point out that reality is all around you, and the scenarios for documenting it are endlessly variable as it stands….Producers of this trash take note….
    But of course, these people are off in their own reality….and to them, it’s all just a GAME with one thing in mind….MONEY…
