REAL HOUSEWIVES PHOTOCAP: Italy or Bust!

The Real Housewives of New Jersey got a little extra money in its budget this season, which meant the ladies — or at least three of them — were allowed to zip off to Italy (or East New Jersey) for a lavish family vacay that admittedly looked quite fun. The genesis of the idea came …

BIG BROTHER PHOTOCAP: Ragan’s Choice

For about the second time this season, we had a fight in the Big Brother household — if it can even be called that. It was more of a tiff, but with this lazy cast of people who are too afraid to speak their minds, we’ll take any feather ruffling we can get. The drama …

BIG BROTHER PHOTOCAP: Breaking Up The Family

Big Brother bid adieu to another cast member last night, but the real story wasn’t whether or not Kristen or Hayden were going home but rather that the Chenbot had her first major fashion idiosyncrasy of the season (if we ignore her peculiar demi-pantsuit from the first week). Yes, Julie Chen came to us in …

REAL HOUSEWIVES PHOTOCAP: Kim G Takes A Stand

Oh the joy of Kim G. The unofficial sixth (or rather, fifth) housewife from The Real Housewives of New Jersey had a gloriously daffy blowout with Danielle that proved to be every bit as chaotic and awesome as we could have expected. The trouble began when Danielle asked her to help find her biological mother. …

BIG BROTHER PHOTOCAP: Finally A Girl Fight!

It took about a month, but we finally had our first episode of Big Brother that featured extensive screaming and fighting, courtesy of the dearly departed Andrew, who conveniently informed the house that Hayden and Kristen were carrying on a secret showmance right under their noses. In the wake of this development, all sorts of …

BIG BROTHER PHOTOCAP: Hebrew Schooled

At last, we have a season. Big Brother finally kicked into awesome mode on last night’s fiery eviction episode, thanks in part to Andrew who decided to go big or go home. With his tenure in the house facing an uncertain future, he decided to lay it all out on the line, delivering quite possibly …

TOP CHEF PHOTOCAP: Master Pea

I lurve Top Chef: DC, and not just because we have a fun cast full of colorful characters. I’m really digging the challenges, which seem to truly mine local DC traditions. This week, the gang had to serve up a toothpick-sized hors d’oeuvre for the Quick Fire and then a meaty power lunch for the …

BIG BROTHER PHOTOCAP: Outrageous Fortunes

Matt is supposed to be the diabolical genius on Big Brother 12, but so far, we’ve yet to see an inkling of smarts. All he’s done is nominate two “floaters,” which is perfectly fine, but let’s be real here. You can’t talk about how much of a mastermind you are if you’re gonna make such …

REAL HOUSEWIVES PHOTOCAP: Milestones All Around

For the first time in weeks, we had an episode of The Real Housewives of New Jersey featuring almost none of the Kims (aside from a brief Kim G cameo), and guess what? It wasn’t nearly as fun. That being said, it wasn’t a total snoozefest either. The focused on three milestone moments: Joe and …

BIG BROTHER PHOTOCAP: Surfing To The Win

I won’t lie. Sunday’s episode of Big Brother was a little dullsville. The endurance competition for HoH went on for what felt like an eternity, and maybe it’s because I already knew the outcome, but it just felt bland. I suppose that’s because we’re midway through our third week in the house, and there are …
