Hello there, Gasmii. Welcome to the “Dancing with the Stars All-Stars Semi-Finals.” Because of the election and hurricane, the scheduling for this season was all types of messed up. As a result, we’ve got five couples competing in tonight’s semi-finals. Because of that, there will also be a double elimination. Tonight, our couples will be [...]

Hi, Gasmii. So, it’s the semi-finals of “DWTS All-Stars.” Previously, we said goodbye to Kirstie and Gilles. After watching this episode, I’m pretty sure they’re glad they weren’t participating in this week. The show reached an all-time record level of stupid. It was 8:09 p.m. (EST) when the CGI dinosaur appeared on my TV screen. [...]

Guten tag, Gasmii! It’s week 8 of “Dancing With the Stars All-Stars.” Tonight is another infamous double elimination. The entire episode just left me feeling sad and confused and just generally hopeless about this show. On the upside, this was my captcha upon signing into TVgasm tonight: That wimpy deer?!?!   The regular dances will all [...]

Hello, Gasmii! It’s week 8 of “Dancing With the Stars All-Stars.” This week, our couples will be performing dances to honor our veterans. I’m never sure how to look at Veterans Day tributes like this. On one hand, it’s obviously great to honor those who have served their county. On the other hand, it seems [...]

Hello, Gasmii! It’s week 7 on “Dancing With the Stars: All Stars.” Last week, history repeated itself and Sabrina was sent home for the second time in week 6. The other contestants acted shocked, but we all know they were just happy they weren’t the ones eliminated. Sabrina herself seemed like she was just going [...]

Greetings, Gasmii! I type this with very cold fingers because I waited in line for about 90 minutes outside in order to vote. It was bittersweet. As a concerned citizen, I was happy to see so many people (especially people my age and younger) coming out to vote. However, I was fucking cold! Anyway, let’s [...]

Greetings, Gasmii! PopePhilly here filling in for VirginiaApple. I don’t know if you know, but there was a tiny rainstorm on the east coast this past week. A couple of people are without power and a few of them are recappers. I hope that I can slightly fill some very funny shoes for this week [...]

Happy Halloween, Gasmii. OK, by the time you read this, it will most likely be All Saints Day. Last week, we had Guilty Pleasures Night. This week, it’s Country Night. Meh. I never cared much for modern country music. These days it’s just pop music with cowboy hats. Also, it makes Tom say “ya’ll stars.” [...]

Hello, Gasmii! I’m coming to you in the middle of a kind of hurricane. I refuse to actually call it a hurricane because, where I am (DC area), we’re barely getting tropical storm level winds. However, everyone here is still panicking. I went to Harris Teeter yesterday for just a few things I needed anyway. [...]

Greetings, Gasmii! It’s week 5 of “DWTS All-Stars.” Tonight, it’s guilty pleasures night! I’m actually really excited about this. I have a number of guilty pleasure songs myself. Most of my friends know me as a huge punk rock/ska/ska core fan, but I’ve been known to sing along to every word of “Bad Romance,” I’ve [...]

Welcome to week 5 of “Dancing With the Stars All-Stars.” This is the point where I  usually say something about the couple who left last week. However, I’m not even going to bother to do that because the “star” to which I’m referring should not have been on the show in the first place. Instead, [...]

Hello, Gasmii!!!! Welcome to week four of “DWTS All-Stars.” Last week we lost Drew and Helio (since he’s gone, I’m not going to bother putting the accent over the e). None of that matters now. I can barely contain my excitement about this week! First, Paula Abdul is here. I can’t wait to see her [...]

Good evening (or whatever time of day it is when you’re reading this), Gasmii! Welcome to week 4 of “Dancing With the Stars: All-Stars.” Last week, we said good by to Drew Lachey and Hélio Castroneves – both former champions. I can’t say that I’m too sad that Hélio is gone. It was getting annoying to copy [...]

Hello, Gasmii! Welcome to week three of “Dancing With the Stars: All Stars.” Last week, we said good by to Joey Fatone. I really hate myself for becoming emotionally invested in this show, but I couldn’t help it with this elimination. Joey going home was bullshit – plain and simple. I made that face too, [...]

Welcome, Gasmii! Last week, on “DWTS All-Stars” we saw the departure of Joey and Kym. It was sad. I admit, I found myself disappointed to see Joey leave. This is what someone getting robbed looks like. This week, the stars will be recreating iconic dances from previous seasons. Well, recreate is the wrong word. They’ll [...]

Hello, Gasmii! Welcome to week 2 of “DWTS: All Stars!” Last week, we sadly said goodbye to Pamela Anderson. Even sadder, we had to say goodbye to Tristan as well. It will be very difficult for me to write this recap knowing this hotness is at the top of the page. Let’s get right into [...]

Greetings, Gasmii! It’s the second episode of “DWTS All-Stars.” Last week, Pamela Anderson left us.  Sadly, that means Tristan is gone too. This week we saw jives and quicksteps. Bruno was completely impossible to understand. Carrie Ann didn’t really say anything too important. Len spoke in rhyme almost the entire time. I’m pretty sure he [...]

Hello, Gasmii! Welcome to the all star season of “Dancing with the D List Stars.” We’ve got former champions and former contestants that weren’t really doing anything else fan favorites back for another shot at the mirror ball trophy! Also, Tom Bergeron has an Emmy now! Don’t worry if you forget. They’ll be sure to [...]

Greetings, Gasmii! Welcome to the season premier of “Dancing with the Stars: All Stars.” This is what passes for “stars” these days. DWTS apparently ran out of new D-listers to exploit, so they had to bring in past contestants who weren’t really doing anything else. Everything goes just as you would expect. The dancers who [...]

Previously, on “Hell’s Kitchen,” the chefs were challenged to create a dish on a budget and each had a chance to run the pass. At the end of the episode, Barbie was, sadly, eliminated. The episode ended before we could find out which two chefs would be going to Vegas for the final challenge. I [...]

Well, Gasmii, it’s the beginning of the end of this long, crazy journey called “Hell’s Kitchen.” Before we get to the actual finale, we have to find out who the final two contestants are. It should come as no surprised to anyone that the final two ended up being who we all predicted for weeks! [...]

Greetings, Gasmii! Last week, on “Hell’s Kitchen,” the greatest thing ever happened. Robyn finally got kicked out. I literally did a happy dance around my living room. That’s all that we really need to say about the last episode. Honestly, I don’t remember anything other than Robyn getting kicked off. See ya later, Meth Mouth! [...]

All you have to know about what happened previously on “Hell’s Kitchen” is that Robyn is gone. Nothing else about this show matters. Robyn is gone, I am happy, and I’m looking forward to this episode being peaceful. Later, bitch! The mini challenge is all about teaching. The chefs will be teaching former Miss Teen [...]

Hello, Gasmii! Here were are for the season finale of “Million Dollar Listing LA.” It’s been a roller coaster ride of drama. Well, OK. There were maybe two hills on that roller coaster. So, let’s get right into this final episode! Seriously, Bravo? Not only do I have to start out this episode with JA [...]

Hello, Gasmii! Welcome to the first episode of “Hotel Hell” with *swoon* Gordon Ramsay. After spending the summer season recapping “Hell’s Kitchen,” it’s nice to spend some time with Gordon not yelling. I really like this quiet and intense version of Gordon. He’s still intimidating, just not as loud. Also, Gordon looks very sexy in [...]

OK, Gasmii. It’s been a long season. We’ve had lots of boring episodes with the occasional bursts of drama. We spent not nearly enough time with Grandma Edith and too much time with JA and Heather. I learned to really like Madison despite pretty much hating him at the beginning. So, now it’s time to [...]

Greetings, Gasmii! With “Hell’s Kitchen” and “Million Dollar Listing LA” winding down, it’s time for me to come at you with a new show! BlueCanary and I will once again be tag teaming Gordon Ramsay! Take the key to your room, Gordon? Of course I will! The first episode takes us to the Juniper Hill [...]

Greetings, Gasmii! Welcome back to another episode of “Million Dollar Listing LA.” Someone over at Bravo was listening to me because we start this episode with JF and Grandma Edith! We find out that Grandma Edith is reading her dead neighbor’s newspapers every day. If anyone else in the world had said that, I would [...]

I guess that the powers that be at Bravo were paying attention to my recaps, because we start this episode with a visit to Grandma Edith!!!!! I usually hate multiple exclamation points, but she deserves them. That’s pretty much the best part of the episode. So, let’s just let that sink in for a little [...]

It seems that there are nothing but train wrecks on reality television. Amidst all the crazy, one woman has become a symbol of everything wonderful in the world. She can make us laugh. She can make us think. Calling her “an inspiration” would be the understatement of the century. I’m talking about Edith Flagg. Who [...]

Greetings, Gasmii! We’re back with another episode of “Million Dollar Listing: LA.” Last episode finally saw the drama between Team Douche (Heather and JA) and Team Surprisingly Mature About the Situation (Madison). Hopefully we’ll get some more drama this episode. It seems we only get something interesting (in a train wreck sense) every few episodes. [...]

Hello, Gasmii. Once again, we’ve got another pretty boring episode of “Million Dollar Listing LA.” All three of our agents are trying to sell a house for someone who thinks said house is worth more than it really is. Also, JA just keeps following the other agents. Even JF is annoyed with him. I trust [...]

Hello, Gasmii! Welcome to another episode of “Million Dollar Listing LA.” We pick up just where we left off last week – at “Cirq deGeorgina.” Why does JF keep calling it that? Does anyone know? Is he referencing anything? Maybe this is Georgina. OK, let’s get right into the drama. Madison notices Heather and JA [...]

Only seven minutes into this week’s episode and I find myself actually respecting Madison. JA and Heather are so beyond classless. I don’t even know how to describe it. Welcome to my good graces.  There was some talk in the comments of last week’s recap that made me think that perhaps JA wasn’t really a [...]

Hello, Gasmii. I need to do a bit of venting first in regard to Monday night’s episode. Now, I’m not too pissed off that Kimmie went home instead of Robyn. I thought neither of them should have stayed. However, I am pissed off that Gordon got my hopes up so high and then crushed them [...]

Are you kidding me? Are you fucking kidding me? That’s really all I can say after the last two episodes of “Hell’s Kitchen.” You’re dead to me, Ramsay!  Monday night, we saw Robyn live through another elimination nomination. Now, I agree that Kimmie’s time was running out. However, I am pissed off at the WAY [...]

Hello, Gasmii! Welcome back to another episode of “Million Dollar Listing LA.” Last week, JA sold Gary’s house after a lot of fighting about price, JF found a house for his friend who was getting divorced, and Madison had a brokers open for an unfinished house, but no one wanted to buy it in the [...]

Hello, Gasmii! I’m back after a week off. I have to say, it’s great to come back to a show without Royce. No show should ever involve Royce again. Before we dive into Tuesday’s episode, I need to thank BlueCanary for pointing out Justin’s unfortunate hairstyle. I’m obsessed with terrible 80s haircuts. My friends and [...]

Welcome back to another episode of “Million Dollar Listing LA.” This week, JA showed a few houses to Orlando Scandrick of the Dallas Cowboys. Then he got yelled at by Orlando’s business manager. That part was pretty entertaining. Then I found myself disappointed because I was defending JA. That’s why I put JA’s picture he [...]
