Because we can apparently never have enough celebrity reality shows, NBC is currently developing yet another one.
Realizing that perhaps the very out there circus atmosphere was not their forté, producers have opted to focus on resorting to what they do best: partying!
Well, okay, maybe not the Paris Hilton kind of party, but the more formal kind. A typical episode for Celebrity Come Dine With Me will feature one celebrity who hosts a dinner party for his or her famous friends. At the end of the night, the party will be judged on presentation, food, and entertainment value.
Sounds kind of lame to you, too, right? I mean, I love watching celebrities, but watching them eat and be entertained doesn’t interest me all too much. I say that knowing that the show has found “success” in 16 other countries.

Bravo Steals Another Reality Idea

As much as I love Bravo, am I the only one getting tired of their FOX reality rip-offs?
Today, the cable channel announced that it is producing a spinoff for one of Shear Genius‘s competitors from last season. Later this summer, the cameras will be following Tabatha Coffey as she “visits struggling salons in the Los Angeles and New York areas and literally takes over the establishments to whip them into shape.” While some may say a show about hair stylists has nothing to do with FOX, I say this production smells exactly like Kitchen Nightmares.
In fact, Tabatha’s Salon Takeover would be the second time Bravo has adopted a concept already seen on that other network. Hell’s Kitchen debuted in May 2005 while Top Chef coincidentally appeared in March 2006. And how about So You Think You Can Dance? That reality hit program played a part in Step It Up & Dance‘s debut this year.

Janet Jackson Seeks Her Replacement on MTV

Reality TV producers over at MTV have apparently lured pop icon Janet Jackson into developing yet another American Idol-esque series.
“It’s really about finding who’s the next Janet Jackson or Justin Timberlake or Usher,” executive producer David Broome explains; however, I am a bit unsure as to why we would need to find the next Janet, Justin, or Usher when all three are still rather successful artists today. Perhaps a hint at Jackson’s fall from her pop star throne?
Either way you slice it, the upcoming MTV show sounds just like Making the Band to me.
Fearing blatant comparisons to its predecessors, Boome added, “We’ll find it from a pool of people who you wouldn’t typically find it from. We’ll go to YMCAs, church groups, local community centers and try to cast the show.”
Wow! A reality show with a heart? I doubt it.

Survivor Micronesia Finale: Stir the Pot!

This past season of Survivor: Micronesia saw a host of firsts. In addition to the endless number of blindsides, the Fans vs. Favorites saga saw three people go home for reasons unrelated to Tribal Council. The 39 days of competition also gave us our only female-empowered finale ever.
There were so many questions lingering around the last set of Tribal Councils. Would Natalie be applauded for sticking around so long? Would Cirie be recognized for all the strategic moves she actually headlined? Would Parvati have to pay for what she did to Ozzy? Would Amanda really end up being the threat everyone believed her to be? Would everyone still be all kissy and huggy now that they had to take each other down? Read on!

On this episode of Survivor: Micronesia, we learned that all good plans usually come to an end. They may work brilliantly in the short term, but unforeseen events will eventually throw a wrench into the works. If a backup plan isn’t prepared, someone could end up looking like a fool.
Who had their stay on the island cut unexpectedly short…and didn’t see their exit coming at all? Read on!

Survivor Micronesia: I’m Ruthless and Have a Smile on My Face

On this episode of Survivor: Micronesia, the challengers found themselves in a rare situation. For the first time since I can’t remember when, the ladies had a clear advantage over the men. Ozzy’s blindside at the last Tribal Council gave the women a two-person lead.
Were the females able to capitalize on this momentum, or did another idol threaten to ruin their takeover? And what about Amanda? Was she even interested in backstabbing one of her friends (James)? Read on!

Survivor Micronesia: I Promise

If there’s anything we’ve learned on Survivor: Micronesia, it’s that words are simply just that: words. They may sound nice, but they mean nothing. The first couple of competitors blindsided this season had to figure that out the hard way.
But after 20+ days on the island, it was apparently some had failed to learn that invaluable lesson. In this episode, we saw shady deals created, old alliances counted on and assumptions made. Who made one of the stupidest deals in show history…and who should have sensed it coming? Read on!

Big Brother 9: Batty Natalie Evicted, Ryan is New Head of Household

It is time to bid a fond (or totally relieved) farewell to the bikini barista from Salem, Oregon. Natalie is the latest house guest to get the boot on Big Brother 9.
Natalie ended up on the chopping block next to Sharon after Adam inexplicably won the Power of Veto challenge where house guests had to solve a complicated multi-TV, multi-remote challenge. The mushy-mouthed and dim-looking public relations flak solved the puzzle in a mere 3:20 seconds. It took box of rocks Natalie 12:09 seconds (though Sheila was the biggest dolt, it took her more than 15 minutes to get it right).
When the time came to use the POV, obviously Adam saved himself forcing Sheila to put someone else up for eviction. No big surprise here, she chose Natalie. In the end, Ryan voted to evict Natalie saying she is just too good at endurance competitions to safely keep her around. Adam voted to evict Sharon saying she hasn’t done anything good for him in the house. Sheila had to break the tie and, of course, evicted Natalie. The other big headline of the night: Ryan is the new Head of Household.

Big Brother 9 Update: James Out, Sharon and Adam Up for Eviction

I’ve really been slacking off on my Big Brother 9 recaps. It’s not that I am not watching. Oh, I watch but then can’t muster up enough energy to write something interesting about the show because, well, it hasn’t been that interesting.
The main headlines of the past few episodes are that Crazy James finally spent life number 9 in the house and Sharon and Adam are now nominated for eviction. James was evicted by a unanimous vote but not before trying to turn everyone against each other and even getting in a few jabs about Natalie’s weight gain in the BB9 house since Matt left.
It was all to no avail. The whole smelly (I imagine) cropped stretch pant or bikini underwear look and holier-and-deeper-than-thou attitude finally got the best of the homeless biker from Florida and his house mates gladly gave him the boot.
