The Real World: Pedro movie

Pedro Zamora was the first reality TV star to have a real message with impact. Unfortunately, he is the first and still part of a very small group of people who choose to use their time in the spotlight to promote awareness.

Here's an blog post on the film that will air on MTV on April 1 and some info on Pedro.

Pedro movie

I had not even heard this was in production. I am definitely going to be watching on April 1.

Top Chef: More Fabio please?

Fabio to get his own show?

Interesting... potential fodder for the big D

As I contemplate my dissertation (no words to the page yet!), this article/interview struck me as something I should hold on to... so I will.

Carla from Top Chef interviews with YumSugar

Hosea from Top Chef interviews with YumSugar

The list here could really go on - they interview each of the contestants... good resource for down the road when I actually start writing and data collecting!

Top Chef finale

Yeah, Josea won, it felt good to not have smug Stefan win, but Carla was my favorite and I'm betting next week she wins the coveted "fan favorite" prize.

So, Josea wins. The big story to come out of the Top Chef finale is Casey's not so nice comments relayed to SideDish - here's what she said:

Carla was not prepared and in over her head. The show did not talk about how the first course (crab) took her half of the friggin’ cooking time that day, I was left to work the rest of HER dishes.

She also did not have a plan. The ONLY thing she had in mind was a cheese course! I would NEVER do a cheese course. And where in the hell did french come from!? She is not even classically trained! It (the show) didn’t talk about how I worked on a sauce for 2 days and Carla forgot to put it on the plate… It didn’t show how the 2nd course (fish) was MINE. It didn’t show how she took the sous vide idea and decided to GRILL it last minute causing it to be tough… And it didn’t show how she WANTED to do the souffles which she does not even know how to make! That was HER food, because it certainly was me asking her how she wanted to do this and that while she was busy picking crab the entire time and making a souffle that didn’t rise!

I am done with TC. I did not influence her. She has NO ideas of her own, oh, except a cheese course.

Seinfeld on Reality

I am extremely curious to see what happens with this. It could either be brilliant and a way to keep the very funny Seinfeld in the fray OR it could bring to light how he's not as relevant as he was...
