TV. Food. Pop Culture.
I must continue the tradition of starting my Big Brother photocaps by complaining about the CBS website yet again. Not only does CBS no longer provide screen grabs, and not only are the few photos that go up once a week somewhat limited in their scope, but now users can’t even access the HOH photos …

What happens when six people put together an Ina Garten-themed potluck dinner on a Sunday night? They all roll away feeling like they never want to eat again for the rest of their lives. And that’s a good thing. Yes, last Sunday, a few of my friends and I put on a Barefoot Contessa dinner …

Top Chef Masters is back tonight, and after last week’s wonderful episode, I have high hopes for a repeat performance — especially when the chefs are thrown the curveball of having to cook for actress Zooey Deschanel, who, you should know, eats NOTHING. Okay, that’s an exaggeration. She’s a vegan, but she’s also gluten intolerant, …

Shocking news: CBS actually put up some stills from the latest episode of Big Brother. Actually, they’re more like professional photos, clearly taken behind the mirrors. Not great, but better than nothing. Most of the pics center around the endurance competition for HOH, which Russell eventually won after striking a deal with Jeff to keep …

And they’re off! Yes, The Real Housewives of Atlanta are back, and they truly are better than before. The second season premiere hit the ground running in a frenetic, dizzying way — a far cry from those lazy early days of the franchise pre-zeitgeist. It’s almost impossible to recap everything that happened in the hour, but …

It’s only been about a month since the latest Real Housewives franchise wrapped up its season, but man, what a boring, dull month it’s been. NYC Prep is okay (I’m entranced by the one girl who looks like she’s a thirty-five year old with baby teeth), Miami Social is a bit ehhhh, and I can’t …

It’s sad that the only way I can seem to do photocaps these days is if I wait for the one time a week when CBS posts pics from the HOH’s digital camera. Alas, that’s the best we can get; so I guess I’ll make the most of it. Actually, there are some amusing trends …

The Next Food Network Star upped its game last night by forcing its final three contestants to whip up a luxurious, “ultimate” three course dinner party for an imposing table of Food Network stars and celebrity chefs. It was a fairly daunting task, and while all three did a fine job, only two could move …

I am in a time crunch; so I can’t really go on at length about last night’s delightful Top Chef Masters. All I will say is that I was most unhappy with the winner, who seemed to be using his camera time to audition for his own Andy Cohen produced show. The histrionics and annoying …

Tonight’s another episode of Top Chef Masters, and if memory serves me correctly, we’re down to our last batch of prospective chefs before we get to the champions of champions — or whatever they’re gonna call their elite qualifiers. Above, check out a video of the chefs learning tonight’s twist. After the jump, further intrigue pertaining …
