Top Chef D.C.: Did Alex steal the pea puree or not? I guess we’ll never know (despite the fact that they film the whole show). He seems like a possible douchelord of the day after his latest aggressive antics, and possibly for his poor taste in glasses. Last season of Top Chef had front-runners the whole season, but this season seems like a crap-shoot. I don’t know who is going to win, I don’t have a favorite, and I don’t know what’s going to happen. Anyone? Anyone?
Real Housewives of D.C.: Just one week in and I’ve already got an idea of who I like and dislike. While Stacie seems, quite frankly, too normal and smart for this show, the other women seem to have plenty of drama up their sleeves. We all know Michaele is the infamous White House party crasher, and with her man-voice, skeletor figure, and love of drama, she might end up being the Kelly of D.C. Cat will definitely stir up trouble as well with her (Ramona-like?) penchant for honesty that can be offensive. Though they show her happily married on the show, the couple has already divorced by now. Where do Mary, the family woman, Stacie, the real estate maven, and Lynda, the total cougar, fit in? Guess we’ll see!
