Interesting comment from Peach on Project Rungay:
Michael Costello came onto the show, he even said this to us, because he wants his own reality show and he’s creating this character that you see. There were two sides of Michael Costello and one of them did not have the nicest language; not just curse words, subject matter too. I don’t know how to put it, but he is not the victim that they’re painting him to be.
Intriguing! I hope we get to see some of that. I don't usually care for too much personality drama, but I'm into it this season.
Peach is just too cute. I love her comments about her losing dress.
It drives me nuts when these shows try to pump up the drama that way. (Pea puree anyone?) If MC was batmouthing Ivy, they should have had it on camera. If the peas were stolen, ditto. If that shit is really happening, show it. Otherwise, let it go. This is not why we're watching these shows. It's not BB or the fucking Bachelor.
Amen, brenda. If I wanted all of the personality drama and camera fucking, I'd be watching Real Housewives.
seriously. that pea puree fiasco really bothered me.
If that shit is really happening, show it.
Definitely. If it's an editorial choice not to, I don't get it.
Did you guys catch this week's No Reservations? Ripert and Bourdain in Paris!
ION, looks like this week isn't it for this season of Top Chef - apparently, it's only part 1 of the finale. Sigh.
More importantly, Ripert speaking lots and lots of French!
Yes, indeed.
Top Chef: I don't love any of the chefs left, but Angelo I would really like to punch in the face. Blech.
