POSTS TAGGED: bravo

Hi ‘Gasmii. *sigh* Where does the time go? It can’t possibly be a full six months that we’ve been meeting here to talk about Top Chef in one form or another, can it? Have we really been sitting here for twenty-four weeks straight analyzing the challenges, arguing about our favorite chefs and generally talking trash [...]

Welcome back, all! I see you all loved (or loved to hate) the first episode of Bravo’s latest adventure. I know many of you were sad to see Dan JuJitsu go, but them’s the breaks in the fashion merchandising reality show biz. (By the way, even if it’s not pronounced “karate”, I think it’s a [...]

What’s up, people? Are you all in the midst of your holiday craze yet? Last night I was outside putting my pretty sparkly lights up at 3:00am. Was I on meth? No, sillies, meth makes you skinny, therefore you can take one look at me and tell I don’t touch the stuff. Plus, I still [...]

Well, Gasmii, there are only two good things about this week’s episode. It didn’t air on Thanksgiving, thereby allowing us all to digest our food in relative peace and quiet, and Tammy from the ghosts of Housewives past stops by for a game of Bunko at Tamra’s house. Wait, I just remembered! There are three! [...]

Episode 3 of Tabatha’s Salon Takeover brings our angel of discipline to Bang Salon in Fort Lauderdale, Florida – because Bang is run by a douchebag. I take that back. Not “a” douchebag, THE douchebag. Darren opened Bang Salon almost six years ago — so if the salon were a child, that child would now [...]

Hey ‘Gasmii, I’m finally back. I can’t apologize enough for the delays on this recap. As you may recall, the BF and I headed to Los Angeles last weekend where we ate some fine foods (Flipit and I shared a plate of deep-fried mac’n’cheese balls at Hamburger Mary’s on Santa Monica Blvd and giggled and [...]

Eclectic Salon in Los Angeles was a high-end, forward-thinking, top-earning, multicultural salon when it opened. Currently it’s high-end circus… which is why owner Jacqui has called in reality television’s toughest ringmaster. In episode 3 of Tabatha’s Salon Takeover, Ms. Coffey is in LA to pull Jacqui and Eclectic Salon from the brink of collapse. Eleven [...]

This week on Twats with Fake Tits, we learn more about the new Ho and say goodbye to an old one. Crackie is her usual sweet natured self and the other two let their jealousy and body image issues hang out for all the world to see. Oh, almost forgot about Gretchen. She goes to [...]

Episode two of Tabatha’s Salon Takeover brings Tabatha Coffey to Miami, Florida to meet with Pablo, owner of Allure Salon. Pablo is barely able to drink and but is on the brink of bankruptcy as owner of the Coconut Grove salon. Pablo took a job at the front desk of Allure out of high school, [...]

Hi guys’n’gals’n’tranzys, and welcome back to our regularly scheduled season of clowns. I never thought I would miss these people so much until they were taken away from me and I had to look at five seasons worth of douchebitchery… not to mention watching Fabio in his apparent audition to become The Next Bertolli Chefâ„¢. [...]

After 23 years in business, Eddie is facing hard times at Orbit Salon. Recession? No. Advent of root touch-up? No. A filthy hair trap staffed by self absorbed workers? Bingo. Someone will be castrated. Luckily one woman is on hand to fight the powers of laziness and apathy with only a perfect platinum coif and [...]

Welcome everyone! Do you like reunions? I don’t mean the heart-wrenching, soul-twisting, tear-jerking kind that you find in the movies where some long-separated pair of lovers is brought back together after years of hardships and suffering and they have just enough time to have sex once before one of them is killed either in a [...]

Hello and greetings and Happy Post-Halloween! I hope all of you had a great time, wore some fun costumes, and had some tasty candy. As many of you may be aware, Halloween = Gay Christmas so naturally I was in the middle of a great big gay bar party out in Scottsdale that puts on [...]

We open this fine Flipping Out Reunion with a clip of Jeff explaining his “number two rollover minutes” employee plan. You’re either disgusted and looking for another website to go to right now or you’re like me: totally fascinated about the details of this plan. Let’s do this. Hottest murderess of the season.

Welcome back to Las Vegas ye faithful culinarians! I think Scar once said there were something like 70 million billion trillion hillion skillion restaurants in Sin City, and I bet all of them are hurting right now. Let’s face it, there are only so many ways to make “Cheap Beef & Tiny Skrimps” sound classy [...]

Hello again foodie fans! I just got back from the wonderfully cold, windy and rainy city of Indianapolis where I was attending yet another drag queen pageant. This one is specially geared towards fat guys who like to wear pretty dresses and who strike terror in the hearts of late-night drive-thru employees everywhere. Over the [...]

Buenos Tardyforthepartys, ‘Gasmii! Praise Jesus there was no new episode last week, I was in waaaay too much horrible debilitating pain (and clouded by waaaay too many drugs) to make sense of a fucking Bullwinkle cartoon, much less a complex reality TV show (and let’s not even talk about how much fun it was trying [...]

Hey hey hey, what’s up people? I may have spoken about my brush with the culinary world before. I don’t like to talk about it much, because I don’t want people to think I’m trying to be all grand or pretentious. However, I can say that I was a chef for about 11 months at [...]

Welcome back boys and girls (and anyone undecided)! This may come as a complete shock to some of you, but I actually grew up and became a very experienced outdoor camper in the wilds of Minnesorta… as a member of the Boy Scouts Of America. Yeah, I actually learned orienteering by the stars, how to [...]

Hi again foodie fans! While I was in Las Vegas last week a good friend of mine convinced me and the BF to travel with him to Chinatown there (no, I didn’t know Vegas had a Chinatown, either) and we had lunch at an odd little place that was kind of in the middle of [...]

Hey there everybody! I’m only one day back from Vegas and I miss it already! I can’t tell you what it was like to spend five days in the company of 799 other fat gay men except to say that I felt positively svelte when laying out by the hotel pool and watching some of [...]

I’ve officially started my countdown. Four days from today I will be in gorgeous Las Vegas, Nevada, most likely drunk off my ass and probably hazily wondering where my room key / cell phone / boyfriend / underwear has disappeared to, and that will be just fine with me, because that’s part of what Vegas [...]

Buenos Nachos, my fellow gastric gamblers! That there is a little Spanish that means “Good Doritos”. I just finished the recap for the Finale of Top Chef Masters literally minutes ago and here I am starting another one already. Needless to say I’m a tad punchy, which is the perfect frame of mind to be [...]

Greetings, ‘Gasmii! It’s taken ten weeks, but we’ve finally arrived at the Last Competitionâ„¢! I dunno about you guys, but I think this show was actually fairly successful in showing us a different facet of the whole Top Chef franchise. One without Scar! How is that even possible?… …Well, you start out by making a [...]

Hi everybody! I’m back from L.A., and I had a wonderful time there watching Flipit’s improvisational musical comedy performance as a pregnant teenager in Iowa named Andrea who has a pair of singing lesbian mothers and gets married to a sex-addicted abortion doctor that patronizes prostitutes. No, I’m not even kidding, just ask ChickBomb, she [...]

Hi again, ‘Gasmii. As you may well remember, I was on vacation in Kentucky at a drag queen pageant for about a week, and one of the things that I love about taking vacations is the fact that I can eat whatever I want. Then again, I pretty much eat whatever I want when I’m [...]

Helloooooo ‘Gasmii, it’s so good to be back home again. I’m so sorry about the delay in getting this posted, I’ve spent the last several days surrounded by dozens of drag queens competing with one another to see who can mutilate Michael Jackson’s “Thriller” choreography in the worst possible way and now I fully understand [...]

I have to start out by saying that I wasn’t sure I was going to like this show when Flipit first approached me with the idea of recapping it, because it’s kind of like Top Chef’s your boyfriend, and Top Chef Masters is your boyfriend’s older brother that you accidentally wind up naked in the [...]

Greetings gastrophiles! People who know me in real life know that I love to throw parties and play fun music and have fabulous food that I usually force my BF to cook and serve. He loves it, too. You must ignore him if he tells you differently. As for me, I pretty much stick to [...]

On the new season of Design Star, HGTV gives 11 contestants the chance to win their own television series. Each week the contestants participate in a challenge to determine who is worthy of Doug Wilson-caliber celebrity. The person who is the least telegenic and the most likely to end up designing high school drama club [...]

Hey everybody! I just realized something… I’ve been recapping for TVGasm for an entire year now (my first recap ever was on July 2nd of last year) and I just want to give a big warm and gooey thanks to all of you incredible ‘Gasmii for making me feel so welcome, I absolutely love my [...]

Bienvenue, my fellow cuisine connoisseurs! You know, so far this show has kinda surprised me with it’s almost total lack of outrageously hugantic ginormous egotistical assclowns, and I was beginning to think that I’d be reduced to making lame jokes about bad hair and croggily-wacked teefs on these pros… until tonight. Now, we can change [...]

Welcome to Round Two, my little culinary cohorts! At the risk of revealing something personal, I’m going to go out on a limb and admit that I’m not a fan of leftovers… something that my BF is constantly reminding me of in his patented Long-Suffering-Voiceâ„¢. In fact, for the first 5 years we were together [...]

Well, hello again foodie fans! My name is J-Mo and the last time we were together it was in the barren, frightening, and almost entirely calorie-free zone known as America’s Next Top Model (a.k.a. TyraWorldâ„¢) so I’m sure you can imagine my excitement when Flipit gave me the green light to work on a series [...]

This week, A Tarp guest judges. Not surprisingly, said tarp has more personality than Tyson and all the models combined. Also, when the tarp goes through the film, he finds some excess nails and a sock. Also, this tarp wants to see more variety from Jonathan. Last but not least, the tarp hooks up with [...]

…it’s like Stephen Ambrose nonfiction, only bustier. Exploring exotic western openings since America’s birth Ughhh, you guys, I am in SUCH a bitchy mood, I’m tempted to tell you who got booted in this intro and call this motherf***er a night. God giveth and god taketh away, and motherfu***rs, though I am an unfair, menstruating [...]

REAL life. REAL fashion. REAL people. REAL cheap. Welcome to The Fashion Show! If this picture doesn’t sum up how REAL this all is, I’m at a complete loss.

This week: Salome works on a gut to match her ass Make Me A Supermodel is all about bare-assedness this week… too bad Gabe isn’t here. They do a nude photo shoot to showcase accessories and rock-hard abs, and then the models get back to their usual activity: bitching about each other. Jonathan has money [...]

Gone Country! This week on Make Me a Supermodel, it’s country time lemonade meets angsty modeling mayhem! The kids go to the country and take photos with livestock. Also, a personal trainer comes in to help them shape up, and some deal with it better than others (Jordan Mcbitchalot, I’m talking to you). Also, Colin [...]

Do I see Boobs? This week on MAKE ME A SUPERMODEL, the models do a Mod sixties shoot with partners that they like a lot or don’t like at all. Kerryn’s forhead really shines in this episode, folks, literally and figuratively. The Go-sees prove that not everyone has what it takes, and the catwalk challenge [...]
