REAL HOUSEWIVES OF OC PHOTOCAP: Takes A Lickin’ and Keeps on Stickin’

Well, The Real Housewives of Orange County have gone up to Whistler for one of their looniest vacations of all time.

BIG BROTHER PHOTOCAP: Will Aaryn’s Gang Finally Eat (Jim) Crow?

Did you ever see Carrie and wonder what sort of girl in real life would actually spill pig’s blood on an outsider? Probably not.

BIG BROTHER PHOTOCAP: Troubles for the Aaryn Nation

We’re only two evictions into season 15 of Big Brother, and already this shizz is off the CHAAAAY-UNNN. Sorry, I’ll never do that again. Seriously though — this show has been a blast this year. I can’t remember the last time I was racing to read the live feeds on Jokers Updates so voraciously or …

Fun With Bibimbap Backpackers!

BIG BROTHER PHOTOCAP: A Heated Race

As some of you know, I’ve been off on vacation for the past week or so, which meant that I had to sit down last night and catch up on four Big Brother episodes in a row. Honestly, I thought I’d get through only about two and finish up the rest this morning, but luckily …

ADVENTURES IN DOMESTICITY: Marinated Mozzarella and Tomato Edition

As many of you know, I really enjoy cooking. In fact, most of my blog posts for the last few months have centered around food and recipes. One might actually get the impression that I’m a skilled home cook. I’m really not. I just know how to follow directions well. Otherwise, I’m a lost baby …

WATCH WHAT CRAPPENS #83: You’re A Piece of Trash!!

This week on Watch What Crappens, Ben Mandelker (bsideblog), Matt Whitfield (Yahoo), and Ronnie Karam (TrashTalkTV) talk about Vicki’s hilarious breakdown on Real Housewives of Orange County before moving onto the insipid, ridiculous girl fighting on Princesses and family fighting on Real Housewives of New Jersey.
