Can't deny President Pussy. Yes, Charles Logan went from spineless prick to malevolent schemer, chewing up the scenery all along the way. He easily won this category, with the nearest competition coming from Prison Break, thanks to two votes for Teabag and one for Bellick (umnata is such a rogue!).
Best Sidekick:
NOMINEES:
- Alex H., Laguna Beach
- Chloe, 24
- Wallace, Veronica Mars
- Lloyd, Entourage
- Tim Gunn, Project Runway
As much as B-Side wanted Alex H. a.k.a. Roz to win this category by a landslide, he was outnumbered by pretty much everyone else. Wallace, Lloyd, and Tim Gunn each received equal amounts of love, but it was Chloe who snuck past them by one vote to capture this title. Surly, snippy, and surprisingly funny, Chloe is the curmudgeon we love to love. Of course, if she actually existed in real life, we'd all hate her. But luckily, we all live in the fantasy world that is TV. Yay!
Best Judges:
NOMINEES:
- Carolyn & George, The Apprentice
- Nina Garcia & Michael Kors, Project Runway 2
- Randy, Paula, Simon, American Idol
- The Hoff, America’s Got Talent
- Jeffrey Steingarten, Iron Chef America
They may be gone, but they're not forgotten. Carolyn and George fulfill something deep and profound in our lives, whether we like it or not. Sure, Nina Garcia and Michael Kors may be the most adept, skilled judges out there, but they lack that Grandpa & The Ice Queen dynamic. We don't know how The Apprentice will push on without these two, but it's safe to say, it won't be easy. At least Ivanka has proven to be a decent replacement, but as Mark Lisanti writes, "she'll never smolder like Carolyn did beneath that helmet of hair and sensible blouses."
Worst Judges
NOMINEES:
- Nigel Lythgoe, So You Think You Can Dance
- Piers Morgan, America’s Got Talent
- Alexis Stewart, The Apprentice: Martha Stewart
- All the judges from Skating With Celebrities
- Tommy Lee, Rock Star: Supernova
No contest on this one. The closest competition was Alexis Stewart, but even she was no match for the self-professed Hatchet Man.
Julie Chen Award for Outstanding Achievement in Robotic Hosting:
NOMINEES:
- Brook Burke, Rock Star: Supernova
- Laird Macintosh, Treasure Hunters
- Katie Lee Joel, Top Chef
- Samantha Harris, Dancing with the Stars
- Cat Deeley, So You Think You Can Dance
A real barn burner! At first it seemed as though Katie Lee Joel would be taking the prize, but then came Laird Macintosh in all his robotic glory. The biggest shock of all is that anyone watched Treasure Hunters enough to even know who he was.
Best Male Host:
NOMINEES:
- Phil Keoghan, The Amazing Race
- Jeff Probst, Survivor
- Donald Trump, The Apprentice
- Ryan Seacrest, American Idol
- Gordon Ramsay, Hell’s Kitchen
For the second year in a row, Phil Keoghan remains the incumbent Golden Gasm winner for Best Male Host. Jeff Probst gained in popularity this time around, but he simply could not beat his fellow CBS hosting brethren. So what does Phil have over all these other hosts? "It's all in the eyebrow arch," Joe Adalian explains. 'Nuff said.
Best Female Hostess:
NOMINEES:
- Heidi Klum, Project Runway
- Tyra Banks, America’s Next Top Model
- Ellen DeGeneres, The Ellen DeGeneres Show
- Ina Garten, Barefoot Contessa
- Martha Stewart, The Apprentice: Martha Stewart
It was the battle of the supermodels for this category. Unlike last year when she shared this award with Julie Chen (who was removed from the running because it would just be too easy), Tyra Banks was relegated to also-ran status as she dropped in popularity in lieu of Heidi Klum. EdHill happily voted for Heidi, but "Only because we're close personal friends." By the way, let's hear it for Ina Garten who received one loving vote from m_ruv.
Best Reality Team:
NOMINEES:
- The Linzes, Amazing Race: Family Edition
- The Hippies, Amazing Race 9
- The Wild Hanlons, Treasure Hunters
- Drew Lachey and Cheryl Burke, Dancing with the Stars
- The Paolos, Amazing Race: Family Edition
We all loved the Paolos, and Drew and Cheryl were great together, but in the end, the Linzes won over most of the voters with their contagious spunk. Wait, that sounds wrong. Needless to say, they were just so damn lovable, despite their constant Cincinnati-isms. J-Unit says, "I fuckin' hated the Linzes." Okay, maybe they didn't win over everyone...
Best Reality Star, Male:
NOMINEES:
- Vinci, 8th and Ocean
- Lenny, Apprentice 5
- Dr. Will, Big Brother All Stars
- Shane Powers, Survivor: Exile Island
- Santino, Project Runway 2

Gross. Diana Eng and her stuffed-nose speech and wallpaper personality? Egads. Frankly you could have nominated some better people in that category.
Heidi's interview pretty much clinched her category. Huzzah and kudos (and I bet the dumbass doesn't know what that means)
8th and Ocean proved surprisingly memorable. Who knew? I would have nominated Irene Marie's face as Biggest Disaster

And oh yea...Wes might be the biggest asshole in the Real World canon, but I think Carlos Mencia deserves to be punched (or kicked, your choice) in the head, repeatedly. I don't mind offensive comedy, as long as it is, ya know, FUNNY?

You want to talk rebel? You didn't even mention my write-in vote for Treasure Hunters in the Best Reality Programming Category.

Commemorative index cards...I love you guys. Hope you didn't break the bank on those. m-ruv, the Contessa IS sort of oddly mesmerizing. PS: I'm ready for everyone to stop using "huzzah" now.

god, i wanna see that fight on wife swap! (my computer won't let me, wtf?!)
Biggest Idiot-Male had to be a tuff one! I really don't know who I would have picked. Vinci is definately a quality choice. I laughed so hard at Heidi winning the Biggest Idiot-Female categorty. HA! nice one! especially the picture.
You're definately right about Steve and The Office.

What is with all these advertisment hyperlinks in all the blogs? Really annoying.

The real reason Phil is the best on Amazing Race, is of course the Philpackage.

I'm glad "Lost" came in second to "24." My two favorite TV dramas were on the top. I'm happy with the results!

B-side, I'm totally with you...Alex H/Roz should have won in a landslide. Her ability to ask 20 questions in a row during a normal conversation makes her the ultimate sidekick.

I just can't believe J-Unit doesn't watch Lost.

I'm so proud of J-Unit for not watching Lost.
Somehow, I can't believe Drew and Cheryl's Thriller routine (or the Cowboy one) didn't warrant any nominations. C'mon, B-Side, I know you loved 'em too.

I guess I am the only person here who thinks Cat Deely is actually a decent host :(
And as much as you all LOVE the Chenbot, I think even with her on the ballot, Heidi should have given her a pretty good run for the gold. She may be the most entertaining; but the category is "BEST" so Heidi should win that one hands down. The Chenbot has numerous malfunctions . . . but perhaps that is your snarky idea of BEST. Oh well, at least you recognize the brilliance of both of these fine hosts.

One more thing . . . why was Cirie from Survivor overlooked in the best female reality star? Diana and her magnets were bizarre; but a self-admited leaf-phobe who made it to the final four while playing EVERYBODY at least deserved a mention. I had great dislike for her after surviving the first tribal council; but had nothing but love for her from episode 2 onwards.

What I love about Diana Eng is how contradictory her personality is to the things she says. Like when she was talking about how her lengiere line will be reminiscent of bondage. Haha, I love it!

Janelle! Janelle! Janelle! Yes, she sucked at so many points throughout the season. However, she and Dr. Delicious were the ONLY ones that kept BB All-Starts interesting this season. Let's give her some props, shall we?
