24 in 24: Last Chef Standing (2024)
EHHHHHH.....
I THOUGHT I was going to like this show. It sounded like a great NEW idea, and it was. It's definitely not boring, but they just don't leave enough time for each segment for the chefs to really DO anything. I mean, even the best of the best can only do so much with nothing. It's hard enough working with the conditions that they are working with, but to then put unreasonable time limits on top of it just makes it chaotic and uninspiring. It just seems like they are making a bunch of messes. On top of the unreasonable time limits, you have the "hosts" interrupting them every few seconds asking stupid questions, as if they have a few extra seconds to spare to chat. Geez, just get out of their face! It seems like all the cooking competitions now do this. They have the "hosts" interrupt the competitors over and over again asking mundane, irrelevant questions, taking the focus away from the actual cooking and disrupting the competition. I wish they would just sit and be quiet until it's their turn.
The McBee Dynasty: Real American Cowboys (2024)
DAD'S A COWARD
Dad tries to portray himself as such a badass, but he doesn't have the balls to be honest with the women in his life. He's leading on Galyna because he needs her to run his business, and he's leading on his sweet young thang because he needs her.......well, we all know what he needs from her. Typical gutless coward. Grow up and put your big boy pants on man. You're acting like a teenage boy. Really good example for your sons. You don't sleep with a woman you have no interest in....period. Find yourself a call girl that knows what the score is. Don't tell a woman you don't want a relationship and then take her to bed in the next sentence.
Bobby's Triple Threat (2022)
BOGUS
Unfortunately, this competition show was just like the others. The judges don't judge according to the criteria given to them. They judge according to what tastes the best to them.....so why bother having rules to cook by? The chefs may as well just go in and cook whatever they want. I quit watching Beat Bobby Flay because they keep letting him win whether he cooks the required dish or not....more often not. The same happens just about always with Triple Threat. I'm done with them. The blind judging is a must. That much they have correct. Now they need to make sure the judges understand that they cannot allow a contestant to win that does not follow the cooking criteria. Tiffancy used her dried blue corn to coat her fish. The other chef made a complex sauce. Tiffany scored TWO POINTS higher....for CORNMEAN CRUSTED FISH! Good grief, we eat that every weekend in Georgia! Totally bogus. Disgusting.
Tribunal Justice (2023)
WORTHLESS
These judges' opinions are worthless. They don't listen.....AT ALL. They ask questions and then won't shut up long enough to let the plantiffs answer them. Of course, even if they did, they wouldn't listen to the answers. They are BEYOND biased. It is nauseatingly obvious. I was just watching the episode where the two women went into the dessert business together after knowing each other just a short period of time. Then they dissolved the business after just one day. They were woefully unprepared to start a business, and they did absolutely everything wrong, true, BUT, the judges had an agenda and totally went off the rails. The very first thing out of BOTH parties was that one had all the knowledge of preparing the desserts and the other had more delegatory skills, BUT she was going to learn from the other girl by HELPING her. THEN she changed her mind when the business actually started and said she didn't start the business to help her. The judges jumped all over the plantiff for taking profits out of the business saying she should have known the other woman wasn't prepared to help, when they an AGREEMENT PER THE OWN WOMAN'S STATEMENT THAT THEY DID!!! Are ALL THREE JUDGES DEAF AND STUPID???
Project Runway (2004)
Tim Gunn Says It's Not Staged????
That's a crock! I've been on tv before, and I can tell you, it's ALL staged to some degree. I JUST watched the show where he said this, and it's SO obvious that several of the scenes were staged. Is he really that naive? Do the judges have favorites? Well, either they do, or they are clearly not as discerning as they think they are. Some of the designers are in the bottom week after week after week, but they keep them letting them through. Another designer is on the top week after week after week , and the first time they mess up, they're gone. If that's not playing favorites, what is it? They allow bullying and threatening behavior by some of the designers.....as long as they can design. Really? That's a recipe for a lawsuit. I expect one of them to go off the deep end one day, and someone gets hurt. So, Tim, YES, the show is staged. They all are. Wake up dude.
Project Runway All Stars: All Stars and Stripes (2013)
I'M STUNNED!
I'm watching these reruns, and I've got to say that I am speechless! Where do I start? First, I am APPALLED that they give the designers $150, 30 minutes time to get to know them, and less than a day to make the dress. What a slap in the face to our veterans! Maybe you could have eliminated the expense of the trip to Pearl Harbor and given that time and money to the vets...,I'm sure they would have appreciated it. Second, I hope you made it right witht he vets and actually gave them beautiful dresses for their events and not those horrible ones they were wearing....especially that poor woman with the large breasts. These guys are supposed to be allstars, and he designed one of the bodices that EVERY large-busted woman knows you DO NOT wear. I speak from experience. She looked frumpy and matronly....and Isaac said it LOOKED GOOD! ARE YOU KIDDING ME! WTH! I hope her friends told her the truth when she got home and didn't let her show up to her birthday like that. She is a beautiful woman, and she deserved to look hot. These designers need to get out into the REAL world and learn how to design for actual women and not six-foot-tall stick figures with flat chests. Geez. Watching this show has made me think these people in New York are completely off their rockers.
Alaska: The Last Frontier (2011)
BUILD A BARN!!!
I enjoy watching this show sometimes. At other times it drives me crazy. Year after year after year they have problems with their new calves getting mauled or frozen to death. They are penned up in a tiny pen with three feet of mud and cow poop in the spring and 4-5 feet of snow in the winter. These people have A LOT of money. Why in heaven't name don't they BUILD A BARN to put
the cows and calves in and keep them safe until spring. It's NOT good for cows to stomp around in a mud pit. Those poor cows! Charlotte goes on and on about how much she loves animals. WHY DON'T YOU BUILD A BARN??? The men spend their time building cabins they aren't going to live in, so they have the time. Geez, if you can't bring yourself to do it for the animals, HIRE SOMEONE!
Love & Marriage: Huntsville (2019)
OPRAH MUST BE SO PROUD!
Wow. I'm not sure what Oprah had planned for her network, but I hope it isn't what I've seen on the promos. "High-powered African-American couples" fighting and screeching like wild animals in the road isn't my idea of "high-powered". I'm embarrassed for them....and especially their children. Unfortunately, this show isn't the only one following the same format. I tried to watch Belle Collective the first season it came out. I just couldm't do it. All the shrieking and fighting gave me anxiety. They talk endlessly about "girl power" and then proceed to rip each other to shreds. Oprah, maybe you should step in and provide some therapy for your "stars".
Alaskan Bush People (2014)
They just can't catch a break.
I've always loved this show. I certainly do not see why so many people think it's fake. Compared to 95% of all the other shows currently on tv, they seem pretty real.....except for the fact that they have the WORST luck of anybody I have ever known. Tragedy after tragedy has happened to them through no apparent fault of their own. You cannot fake that. Yes, they have had troubles with the law. They are not perfect. Who is? That doesn't mean they are horrible people. It shows they bleed red like the rest of us. As a Christian myself, I can clearly see Satan's hand in all of this. He will try to tear down people with any means available...especially if those people are God fearing. The Bible clearly tells us that we will be persecuted for our beliefs by unbelievers. Based on some of these vicious reviews I am seeing, it's clear that this prophecy is alive and well. So many people these days are so lacking in compassion and empathy. It's disturbing and very, very sad. I just hope they stay as strong as they have always been. They have been through enough to destroy most any normal person, but they still get up and fight again. I'm currently watching the episode where Bird has had her tumors removed, and she is faced with a total hysterectomy or developing cancer. I hope she thinks clearly enough to harvest her eggs if she chooses the former. At least she could have a biological child with a surrogate. Keep the faith Brown's! My prayers will be with you.
Southern Charm (2013)
LEVA THE LOUDMOUTH
Geez. Can Leva just SHUT UP? She is the biggest troublemaker I have seen in quite some time. No matter how well the others are getting along and trying to be mature adults, she has to interject with her baiting comments to get everyone fighting. Then she tries to act like she was 'only trying to help'. Pul-leeze. You are SO transparent. You are an INSTIGATOR. You THRIVE on the drama. You like to throw the pork chop into a cage full of tigers and then act surprised when there is a free-for-all.
As for the rest of them....they need to get a life. I've never seen such a bunch of useless, aimless, bored, immature, spoiled and hateful people. ALL they do is fight, and they fight dirty. My advice: 1) Stop drinking every minute of every day, 2). Stop screwing each other, 3) Get a life other than throwing drinking parties for every reason under the sun, 4). GROW UP!
I have an EXCELLENT suggestion. Why don't these people pool their money and go work at the local homeless shelter instead of the endless partying. Maybe then they would see how shallow they all are.
Secretly Pregnant (2011)
WHERE ARE THE DEADBEAT DADS?
I am SO pissed right now.....for several reasons. WHERE ARE THE DADS when these women are confessing their pregnancies??!! They are getting chastised about being stupid and irresponsible, but THEY DIDN'T GET PREGNANT BY THEMSELVES!! Secondly, I totally agree these women are STUPID. There is NO excuse for getting pregnant when you cannot afford to raise a baby. I'm sorry, but you either need to find a FOOLproof birth control or keep your legs closed! The show I'm watching right now a girl living with her mother is pregnant with twins with a father that is NOT supporting them. He says she should take up for him because he has CHOSEN to stay with her. REALLY??!! Have these women never heard of child support laws? Another mom of eight who cannot take care of those she has, makes one of her daughters help her tell the other kids. Again, WHERE IS THE SPERM DONOR?? THEN she says she hopes the kids will "be there for her". Are you kidding me? YOU are supposed to be there for your kids MOM, not the other way around. I'm not going to be able to watch this show anymore. Today was the first time I had seen it. One of my major pet peeves is stupid people, and this show is just chock full of them.
The Family Chantel (2019)
PEDRO IS A LYING DOG.
Look Pedro, you can cut the crocodile tears and talking about how you want to "protect" Chantel, and you are SO sad. No one believes you. You are about as fake as fake can get, and you are fooling no one, You had NO intention of even TRYING to work things out with Chantel. You had your mind made up before you even broached the subject with her.....and, NO, it doesn't have anything to do with you being an immigrant. It has everything to do with you being a liar. If there is one thing I have learned in this life, it's that "what goes around comes around". Be prepared to be treated like you have treated your wife. I hope you fall on your face.
Bargain Block (2021)
Why Don't the Bargain Blockers Bargain?
I feel like.the original sellers of these houses are getting greedy. The guys used to get these run down houses for a few thousand. Now they are asking tens of thousands for the same houses. Sounds to me that the sellers have caught on to the popularity of the show and are getting greedy. So, my question is, why don't the guys try to bargain? It seems they pay whatever the sellers ask, no questions asked. These houses have sat unoccupied for YEARS with no hope until Keith and Evan showed up. Surely that gives them some bargaining power???
Welcome to Plathville (2019)
EVIL SPIRITS
Hmmm. Starting to look like Kim was right about Olivia. Of course I saw it from the beginning....one of the most manipulative, gaslighting, narcissistic human beings I ever seen. She was pure poison to this family. As for Ethan, he needs to have a reality check. His mother doesn't owe him an apology. Who does he think he is? His "wife" came into their family trying to tell his mother how to raise HER children, and when she didn't agree with Olivia, Olivia just proceeded to to do things behind her back. You aren't going to tell me that if someone did that to Ethan's children, Ethan wouldn't be FURIOUS. NOW they are seeing the REAL Olivia.....she showed who she really is at the gravesight. Then she tried to cry a few crocodile tears to cover up her mistake. I'm hoping the family won't waste any more time on her than they already have. She has evil spirits.
Rachael Ray's Italian Dream Home (2022)
RUDEST WOMEN ON TV
I'm NOT a fan so I didn't watch the series. I mean, who cares about your childhood dream? I DID, however, stop briefly when I was channel surfing before I knew it was a show about her. In just that short amount of time she had insulted everyone in the room with her condescending putdowns. Geez Mike, is there enough money in the world to put up with this witch? Guess I should also mention that I met the great RR several times years ago. She was just as rude and inconsiderate then as she is now....she just doesn't hide it as well as she used to. It's a mystery to me why more people don't see this. All you have to do is look at her public pics. She grimaces rather than smile, and she looks like she has smelled something bad. Pan up to the eyes, and they are as cold as a snake. I guess she could blame the alcohol. Goodness knows she's never without a drink in her hand.
