It’s Sunday, which means CBS just aired another delightful installment of Big Brother. The nomination episodes are usually the most low key of the week, but that’s okay because they give us a chance to enjoy the dumb things our merry captives do to keep themselves busy — you know, like playing hide and seek, …

Yew Know Wut? You Don't Owe Me An Overdramatic Clip, But Ya Kinda Dew!
No one gets in a tizzy more than Big Brother’s Sheila, and while some find her histrionics irritating, I think they’re hilarious. Here’s a brief clip from Wednesday’s Big Brother After Dark in which she and Natalie revel in the outcome of that night’s HOH contest. It gets funnier the more you watch it. Thank …

BIG BROTHER PHOTOCAP: Nothing But Trouble
CBS finally put up their screen caps from Wednesday night’s episode of Big Brother; so without further ado, here’s a look back at the eviction show through the magic of pictures. BTW, I’ve decided to start calling these posts “photocaps” because a) I like making new words, and b) it’s photos + a recap. Photocap!
Yew Know Wut? Yew Don't Owe Me An Indoor Voice, But Ya Kinda Dew!
Okay, this IS crazy. All season long, I’ve been ragging on James for not being as crazy as he says. Tonight, he finally did something truly crazy, but not in that fun, spontaneous way. More in the dark, sad, angry, I-Have-Many-Demons sort of way. The background on this clip is that Sheila had apparently told …

Is Tyra Banks The Next Tony Wonder?
Tyra Banks reached new levels of ridiculousness on last night’s America’s Next Top Model, and as I watched her “sprain her ankle,” I couldn’t help wondering if she had stolen some moves from Ben Stiller when he played a certain magician on Arrested Development. Above, Tyra doing her thing. After the jump, two Tony Wonder …
ADVENTURES IN MEXICAN STUFF: Taco Experiment Proves To Be Appropriately Top Chef-fy
It’s sort of funny that last night’s Top Chef episode featured a taco challenge because I’ve spent the past week in a veritable taco-haze, eating those little nuggets of Mexican joy with reckless abandon. In fact, I’m in such a taco fever that I did the unthinkable: I tried to make some at home. The …
A "Harmless" Unaired Clip from the Housewives
Regrettably, I haven’t had time to chime in lately on The Real Housewives of New York City, but here’s what’s important to know: it’s fairly awesome. These women are masters of passive-aggressiveness, and never is that more apparent than in this clip, which never made it to air on Bravo. Here, we find Jill and …

Now That's What You Call A Live Show!
The screen shots from tonight’s live show haven’t been posted at CBS just yet; so I’ll have to wait a little to do my recap thingy, but in the meantime, I just have to talk about tonight’s wonderful, amazing episode. There were so many awkward, bizarre moments that I couldn’t help clapping along. And I …
American Idol Contestants Vie for the All-Important Adult Contemporary Vote
Photo via Rickey.org When I found out that last night’s theme on American Idol was “Songs From Your Birth Year,” I was kind of excited. It looked like maybe, just maybe, we might scratch the ’90s. I know that’s crazy talk — having a show featuring young people, aimed at young people, and watched by …

Yew Know Wut? I Don't Owe Yew A Vintage Sheila Clip, But I Kinda Dew
I’ve always wondered what Sheila from Big Brother would look like sitting on a bale of hay, frolicking through a meadow, and giggling on a swing. Now I know, thanks to this clip from the 1984 masterpiece, Ellie, which stars Sheila and… multiple Oscar winner Shelley Winters? Sadly, this scene does not feature both acclaimed …
