I cannot stand Nipa now. That 2 ingredient spice thing was ridiculous.

Are there people to root for? I haven't seen any eps yet and I'm wondering if it could fill my reality tv hole for a bit. (I don't watch the dance shows.)

Well, of the two frontrunners - I like Aaron and Lisa (through her competence) won me over.

We'll see.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

I like Carolla, and I think his tendency for a little dickery combined with bombast is like Clarkson. I just hope the show isn't cheaply made.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

I'm liking Aaron too. He got hosed by Nipa on the cayenne, and still managed to pull it off with his improv.

Actually, I was rather surprised at how likable Corolla was on a oneshot home makeover show he did for HGTV a year or so ago. And, he's supposedly a big gearhead, so he might be able to convey enthusiasm for the show's topic.

he's actually very intelligent, I think.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

I like Aaron a whole lot. Double earrings get me every time - on a man!

Lisa - not quite warmed up to her yet. That squinting thing she does is not attractive. And the fawning over Martha Stewart (including tears!) was ridiculous.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

I still can't stand Lisa. She seems very fake.

That's too bad about Amy. I loved her and her show.

Enough with the bad reality show people with my freaking name.
