She’s got that look in her eye!  Run, Consuela!  Run! “The Gift of Revenge”? Gee…thanks? Thank God you didn’t get me the Gift of Turmoil like last year or the Gift of Disaster like the year before. Tis the season for the Gift of Revenge! HUH?!?  Thanks Tar-jay… Hey guys! What did you think of “Penance”? [...]

  Brought to you by our favorite Hamptons resident!   “The guest list included the creme de la creme of the Hamptons and New York business society.  The bride looked stunning in a gunmetal grey gown with matching pearls, while the groom was handsome as ever in his tuxedo – until he was carted off [...]

  That cop is all “Again lady?  Really?” Another Grayson event ends terribly. Shocker! The fact that no one died or ended up in the hospital was an improvement on the past “celebrations”, so good job party planner! At this point an arrest is old hat, nothing to really get too excited about – but hopefully [...]

Revenge – The Early Years Through the course of the first four episodes of the season, Revenge has introduced us to Kara, Aiden, Padma, Skeevy Kenny, the “initiative”, NolCorp, and now baby Carl (CARL???). There have been a lot of additions to the Revenge universe, perhaps a few too many (the “initiative”!). But this week [...]

  Yes, people – this is surprised.  And yes, it’s hard to tell. Mason Treadwell is back and stirring up trouble! Just when things begin to work themselves out the intrepid writer (don’t you just hate those guys?) returns to the Hamptons to once again report on – and create – the drama. Let’s hope he [...]

  What the hell was Jewel doing here?  At least it made a good razor commercial! When the show opened with the maid scrubbing out the blood from the foyer, I had to rack my brain trying to remember who had been murdered at the end of last week and how could I have forgotten it [...]

Emily though the shower was at the Beaver Dam Well everyone, you should be very proud of yourselves. Poor little ex-Beaver Dam employee Fauxmanda is in a coma and it’s all your (our?) fault! Poor thing. Highly doubt they will get rid of her at this point though and will probably come out of the [...]

Can we somehow find these people a place on the show? So formerly institutionalized Mom has been quietly running the local Motel No-tell all these years while the Graysons have been up to all kinds of mischief a stone’s throw away? Wonder how that worked out. Amnesia? Full on crazy? How amazing would it have been [...]

Hey, Nolan spent $11.99 for that! Summer in the Hamptons is no vacation. Who do these people go to margaritas with after a day of tanning on the beach? Or see the latest Channing Tatum movie with? Or even grab a mani/pedi with? Who can you trust? So far this season, no one has been [...]

  Last week’s premiere was about mobilizing the troops.  This week was about setting them up for battle.  Some positioned themselves well (i.e. Victoria), while some might as well have painted a bullseye on their foreheads (i.e. Declan).  Oh – and the rich are getting richer, while the poor are getting poorer.  Wonder if the Hamptons is [...]

Probably shouldn’t put all your eggs in Emily’s basket  The golden rule to live by in the Revenge universe is play or get played.  And our (anti)heroine is definitely a player.  Despite all of the complicated trickery and treachery that went on in “Resurrection”, to me the most shocking was Emily’s lie to Amanda.  She [...]

   Revenge loves the 80’s. The 80’s night time soap specifically. The glamour, the bombast, the treachery, the deceit. All that we loved about Dynasty, Dallas, Falcon Crest, and Knots Landing can be found in Revenge. And now in season 2, Revenge is taking its cue from another 80’s soap classic – the mini-series Lace [...]

Who’s arm is that returning from the depths of the sea?   How many spent the first part of the season premiere of Revenge waiting with baited breath for the arrival of Victoria Grayson? When she opened the door of her palatial, rustic “cabin” and I saw her – so carefully coifed and beautifully botoxed, [...]

Thai Lady Gaga Flash Mob – It’s 2009 all over again!  Ah, Thailand. Where exotic spices flavor the air (or is that the Thai stick?), ladyboys populate the backrooms, and the coconut water flows like, well, water. And where comeuppance is a dish best served cold – or hot for that matter. Who the hell [...]

  Paddy cake, paddy cake…  Well, it happened kids! Finally! And it almost didn’t happen (I’m looking at you, Nicole…)! SPOILER ALERT! Ding dong, the witch is dead! Jenna was retired in Thailand. God, Jenna made me tired. Do we really think she just got the bitch edit or was she really, you know, a [...]

Last week Gary went home. Boo. We liked Gary. Unfortunately the actual weak link of the team (starts with a L and rhymes with LIZ!) had immunity, so it was Ciao to our funny, happy guy. We begin in Florence where the teams find their newest clue. The teams shall remain the same. Neither Jenna [...]

Nookie is sad he never learned any Italian Hello Platers! This week is all about Parmigiano-Reggiano, tortellini, and Bologna (the place, not the Oscar Meyer’s). The teams stay the same for this next leg, much to the chagrin of Jenna and Liz. In fact on the car trip to Modena, Jenna berates Liz so completely [...]

Love. Her. Ribollita! Ricotta (non)cheese! Bacci ball! Cat’s crazy backteased hair! You guessed it, Gasmii, we are in Italy! The reshuffled teams board the plane to Florence and are sent on the chase for the E.I. Zany stereotypical American tourist running around ensues.  American reality shows making the US of A proud for over a [...]

This is my favorite Moroccon Mix!  First of all, I owe EVERYONE an apology.  I misspoke concerning last week’s episode in the comments.  I called a commenter a bad word.  I am sorry for that.  We recappers work pretty hard to get these stories out to you and sometimes we take things a little too [...]

When I hear Morocco, I think of this… Gary pulls out his French and so does Jenna!  (ugh, I know)… You guys, PLEASE let me know who you like – in the comments – I mean, I don’t really care one way or another  - yeah right… God, I hate Chaz… Full recap in the [...]

Something smells fishy… The jokes write themselves, folks!    Song starts at 1:20… Wow, I just used a reference to a Sondheim song for my recap of a cooking show on Bravo. Doesn’t get much gayer than that, kids. Sorry for the delay, you guys, but I made it before show day!  Hope you guys [...]

Cat – where do you keep disappearing to? I’m now convinced that Bravo reads TVGasm. (Hi Andy!) My main complaint last week was that none of these people were very likable – and sure enough, this week I started liking a couple of them! (Hi Nicole! Hi Avery and her cute daughters! Hi Nick!) On [...]

Do we like any of these people?

  Just keep your mouth shut next time, Jenna After last week’s education in the finer points of English gastropub delights, the show classes things up significantly by traveling to Lyon, France to explore its particular type of cuisine. The two teams are tested on their knowledge of cheeses, wines, and the finer points of [...]

OK, you guys. Ready to go around the world? In 80 plates? Does that title make any sense whatsoever? Firstly, let’s discuss the ridiculous amount of cooking shows on the boob tube right now. Top Chef, Top Chef Masters, Iron Chef (original and America), Chopped, Food Network Star, Rachel Ray (all 10 of her shows), [...]

So The Amazing Race meets Top Chef on ‘roids?

Never forget the Patio Poodle!   This recap/review/analysis could go one of several ways: 1) Do I LOVE it, without criticism? Talk up the show’s very cool twists and turns? Praise the performances? Admire SMG’s general loveliness? Give a thumbs up to the sheer brilliance of the costume department? 2) Do I call BULLSHIT? I’m [...]

  Prelude to a Finale – “It’s Called Improvising, Bitch!”   Oh RINGER. You low down, dirty dog. You cruel, cruel mistress. When we began this tryst, I thought you were fun, different. Yes, you were a drama queen, but you could also be silly and weren’t afraid to laugh at yourself. But then things [...]

Two points of business before we launch into the details of “If You’re Just An Evil Bitch, Then Get Over It”. (HAHAHA!) #1 – Just realized Shaylene Briggs is the mother from Awkward. She is put to MUCH better use on that show and is still very very cute. #2 – Do you think this [...]

LET’S KILL BRIDGET!  - Umm, ok??? Does anyone remember the movie Let’s Scare Jessica To Death? It came out in the 70’s, I do believe, and it was always on TV when I was growing up. It’s about a group of friends that turn on this girl and basically drive her crazy. Wow, that was [...]

What the hell is this picture?  Just found it.  Is this Bridg in her strippin’ days? In any case, I love it.   We are now getting down to the wire in the saga of Bridget and Siobhan. “That Woman’s Never Been A Victim in Her Entire Life” is episode 18 of 22. Considering a [...]

      The chickens are coming home to roost – finally! So the big question this week is: Is Hubs really the demonic psycho the show has portrayed him to be over the last 2 weeks? Or has the lighting department just been upset with him? OR is Ioan off his meds? Lets find [...]

    Ringer – You’re Way Too Pretty To Go To Jail Paris – Siobhan is in the hotel room – she’s rubbing her tum-tum, while wearing ANOTHER black and white mime outfit. Is ANYONE else seeing this???  ANYONE??? And she’s got a side pony, a bolo tie, and a SHEER. Duh! Typical knocked up, [...]

  Hey Machado – I switched out my bangs wig for this one – thoughts?   Minicap: RINGER – The Ballad of the Lonely Flash Drive How many different shows are there to be found in RINGER? 1, 2, 3, 4, 5? 6?? 7??? Initially, the whole split personality (ies) in and of the show [...]

  Hello Ringii of the TVGasm – I owe you an apology for the loss of last week’s episode. I was traveling and I couldn’t get the time to cover the brilliance that was “It’s Easy To Cry, When There’s This Much Cash Involved” in the way it deserved. Or…? Anyway thank you for your [...]

I had a good feeling about this episode going in. SMG appeared on both Watch What Happens Live and Live With Kelly to promote the show, so I was pretty sure that it would be an improvement over last week’s nonstarter. Thank God I was right. The show opens with Bridg strolling through the lobby [...]

Bridget gets banged

  One word, people.  Only one word could describe the thrill, the intrigue, the drama, the subtle humor that filled the return episode of RINGER.  Only one word could accurately sum up how grateful I was to see the show back.  Only one word could symbolize all that is great and good about RINGER.  I [...]

  I wonder who’s bright idea it was to hold auditions in Aspen? It doesn’t make much sense when you think about it. Aspen is small. Aspen is expensive. Aspen is a destination town, not the hub of Colorado. Sounds perfect! I blame Randy. I blame Randy for everything To justify the Aspen location, we [...]
