RealiT Show Reeecaps (aka who got kicked off whaat)

1. American Idol. Not gonna lie, I totally forgot this was on tonight- pretty much fast forwarded through most of it. Bottom three: Kristy, Ramiele and Brooke (nnoooo). Brooke is sent to safety first, leaving KLC and Rami in the bottom. I couldn't care less who gets the boot, I actually wished they'd do a double elimination and get rid of them both. No luck, but Ramiele (rightly) is sent home, and she cries a lot. Dolly Parton preformed a song about jesus that was kinda eh. She is so crazy looking though.

2. Top Chef- yay for dinner (thanks Rachel! sorry I didn't eat the salmon). Since I wasn't at home I couldn't write while I watched, so I'll try to remember what happened.
This weeks quickfire was to create a vegetable platter and demonstrate some kind of technique while doing so. It seemed some people just chopped some veggies and threw them on plate, while others tried cool things. The winner was Dale who made something with cucumbers asian-y and impressed the guest judge, Danielle Bouloud (sp?).
The elimination challenge was to create a course inspired by a (favorite) movie. Everyone was split into groups of two and assigned a course. One of the top two teams was Richard, Dale and Andrew (since Dale won the QF he got to pick what team to work with) who made salmon with tapioca pearl "caviar" and white chocolate sauce, inspired by Willy Wonka. V cute idea, sounds disgusting to me but the judges (who included film critic Roeper and actress Aisha Tyler (?) loved it. The other top team was Lisa (eyebrow pierce/possible lesbian) and Stephanie (who won last week), who made some kind of beef with caramel and apple sauce. Also sounds kinda sick, but judges liked. Winner was Richard, whose faux-hawk seems to be getting spiker each week (possibly to beat Jennifers, whose was looking a little low this week).
Bottom two was Antonia and Zoi, whose movie was the Spanish film Talk to Her and made rack of lamb with saffron rice and some other stuff i dont know/remember. They wanted their food to be really bright and vibrant, but alas it wasn't and they called out for that. The other bottom team was Spike (lame yellow hat lover) and Manuel, who made some Vietnamese spring rolls with swiss chard. Apparently Spike has been cooking Vietnamese food for the past 2 years, so he wanted to do that and they picked a random movie that relatied to that (good morning vietnam). It sucked. The judges ultimately kicked off Manuel for following Spike and not adding anything to the idea/dish.
Also in this episode: patchwork straw hat makes a comeback and we realize that Ryan, while cute, is a dumbass. Example 1: (talking about Mark) I don't understand him, he's from like New Zealand or New England or something. Example 2: His favorite movie is dumb and dumber. Case closed.

3. ANTM- I know I don't usually recap this show, but we're on reality shows this post so I'm throwing it in there. This week were down to 8 girls. I'll give a quick rundown on what's happened so far: Dominique looks like a transvestite and is really annoying, Lauren walks like lurch and has a bad temper, Claire has a baby she left at home , Fatima was really annoying in the beginning and started fights with everyone but now she's calmed down, Whitney is the plus size girl and also has a temper. Those are basically the girls that create the drama. This week the girls go on g0-sees (meeting designers to try and get booked)- this is way early in the season, since usually they do this when there;s like 4 ppl left, so idk why they are doing it now. Anyw000, bottom line: Stacy-Ann, whilst having a really annoying voice, would have gotten booked for the most jobs, Lauren is too ridiculously awkward, Fatima is a size 0 (!), Whitney probs wouldnt get runway jobs (she kinda let this get to her- it is unfortunate, cause she's a really good model), and Dominique is really full of herself.
The photo shoot this week I didn't really understand, they had to like jump on clear plastic with water on it and flail around while the photog took pics underneath them. Claire was being an ass and didn't what she was supposed to and sucked. Lauren's contacts came out and she also didn't know what to do. Whitney and Fati (ha) kicked ass. Kat got a new haircut that really looked good and according to Tyra and Paulina, took away her Eastern European mail order bride look (I didn't really get this but whatevs, shes so pretty). Claire and Lauren were the bottom two and Tyra decided to give awkward Lauren another chance. I'm really surprised Claire got eliminated this early, since she was soo strong in the beginning and was "cover girl of the week" three weeks in a row (and you know how telling that is). Anyway more drama next week, yay.

That's it for reality shows for now, I'm recapped out.
