Flipping Out

In hopes of making some extra cash, some would resort to selling blow, or becoming a ho, but for real estate crazy Jeff Lewis, he has to submit to the title of “INDEPENDENTLY CONTRACTED REMODELER” — which, for him, is worse than being Charles Manson. And, as we learned last week, Jeff just doesn’t work [...]


Flipping Out

Neurotic crazies come and go, but Bravo sanctioned neurotic crazies are worth keeping around: Obsessive compulsive real estate extraordinare Jeff Lewis is back for another round of slamming bricks, tearing walls, and breaking hearts in season 2 of Flipping Out. How the ante will be raised is all a mystery as of now, but at [...]


Beauty and the Geek

Season finales blow; saying goodbye to the people you’ve secretly held an emotional attachment to is really sad for about five minutes, and this is especially true in reality TV, where that slump could last for TEN minutes. Following the swan song to this season’s Bitches and Dorks, it’s going to be hard to imagine [...]

To many Californians, a trip to Big Bear is either 1. mandatory by order of parents or 2. mandatory by order of school field trip. But not for the Dorks and the Bitches; in fact, for them, having the CW send them off to Big Bear is like witnessing the reformation of The Beatles, or [...]


Beauty and the Geek

Last week’s Jenny Jones-esque makeover episode made for some great TV, but the CW brought us back to boring ol’ competition grounds near the end, leaving us at a cliffhanger where the 4 remaining Dorks and Bitches had to choose who to send to the ominously named “ELIMINATION ROOM.” Sending Cowboy Joe and his ho [...]


Beauty and the Geek

Now that the Dorks and the Whores are coupled up, game dynamics are changing faster than the group’s collective vocabulary – Amanduh: “The girls and I wanted Jim to come back. That was the census.” Cuntcensus. Take out your nail polish remover and start defragging your brain — this week’s Beauty and the Geek includes [...]

To many, deciding “Of these two geeks, which one would I rather live with?” is sort of like having to decide between eating shit or going to Wendy’s for lunch. For “Beauty” Tara, it’s like deciding which parent you have to kill in order to survive in a bomb shelter without any food. This is [...]


American Idol

Listen, if you’re like me, then you’re drunk on Ryan, Paula, Simon, Dawg and the other hacks that make up this show. But that’s okay. After all, American Idol surpasses the title as “just another TV show.” This is, like, baseball. Apple pie. Undeclared war. Idol is one of the many vital threads that make [...]


American Idol

Thursday night’s AI results show was an extraordinary episode. Also, John McCain wins the presidential election, Paul Giamatti is the world’s sexiest man, and the devil needs a sweater. Let’s see how FOX wrings results out this week — Which 4 dorks will go home!?!?! Oh, and why the @#%* is Archuleta crying!!?!?!?! A portrait [...]


Scott Baio

Nina Simone once sang “It’s a new dawn / it’s a new day / it’s a new life for me,” but Scott Baio had never heard of her. Anyway, in today’s episode of Regarding Chachi, the baby finally pops out and before all the birthing chaos happens, we see Chachi breakdown for the umptillionth time [...]


Scott Baio

As Joanie prepares for her baby shower just days before she pops, Chachi turns the event into another opportunity to be without her by going to Vegas for a “Man Shower” with DA GUYS. If you hate people repeatedly saying, “VEGAS, BABY, VEGAS,” then you probably don’t want to skip this jump. “We’ve created a [...]

Sometimes, going back home can be a difficult thing to do — revisiting old pals and family and pretending to give a shit can take a toll on anyone. For Chachi, it’s all of the above mixed in a canole dish of VH1-served Brooklyn stereotypes. Way better than an Emmy.


Scott Baio

Moving in sucks for everyone, but for Scott Baio, it’s like showering in Auschwitz. To see Baio content would only be to see him sedentary for the rest of his life. Or dead. Nice.

Ahh, Season 2… can you smell that? It’s another ripe installment of lost dignity, loosely orchestrated comedy, and, if we’re lucky, cameos from people we all collectively know as “That One Guy from That TV Show” or “That One Other Guy.” Let’s see if Scott really grows up this time ’round. Not holding my breath.
