Last nights show was much better than the opener. That chocolate looked good, all of em even the failed. And I too like that we get demos of the food mini demos but that is a bit different.

LOL Costa - I certainly didnt google either - but loved that they showed us their google!! ROFLOL -

I also would love to taste a chocolate pot - and it was interesting - that over the top Dolly Parton Housewife - quite entertaining - glad they had her voice over that first you make it by following the recipe then you futz with it - dh really looked at me with that comment!! LOL easier said than done sometimes by me!!

but how can some of those pots be so thick!!! was it water that seized up the chocolate? and why only a few pots when they were having a huge event? and what was that brown stuff on top of the chocolate, but under the whip cream? and come on, seriously someone failed at whipping cream?

but I did like how Emmanuel (if that is his name - roflol!) said that being late 15 min is just a French Quarter!!

and does anyone think that making that caramel 'candy' is easy -just because he makes it so? I know that getting sugar to that level is tricky - isnt it?

They're either lazy over at MTV, or are running out of places...The rumor is that Baltimore is being considered for the next season of The Real World (the season coming up is in Washington DC)...

If anyone is interested in watching the current UK "I'm a Celebrity Get Me Out of Here" I have a link to someone's youtube site where they have pretty good quality videos. It appears on the youtube search or you can PM me for the link.

George Hamilton is on it and he's so sweet. Such a nice man. The others really seem to appreciate his humour. Apart from Katie Price (Jordan) I don't know how many of the others would be known here.

It started a couple of weeks ago, and ends on Friday, so you might want to avoid any spoilers and get viewing if you're interested!

What a horrible horrible owner on Tabatha's Salon Takeover tonight. OMG I just wanted Tabatha to punch her in the face, so it was hilarious when Tabatha confessed SHE wanted to punch her in the face, too!

Tish, I saw that witch on Tabitha's show. What I didn't understand is why the stylist aren't looking for different salons to work at? The owner was in serious need of a long rest on the couch with a very able Dr. Freud would be challenged by her.

They said they couldn't leave because they signed a contract that wouldn't allow them to work on Miami beach if they left, so they'd be left, essentially, without a clientèle.

I've heard of non-compete clauses in other professions, but this is the first time I've heard of hairdressers having to sign a non-compete agreement. My cousin who is a chef in the NY/NJ area had to sign a non-compete agreement years ago and it stated that if he left, he couldn't work at another restaurant within so many miles of the restaurant for something like two years. But being as he was in the NY/NJ area, it really wasn't a problem for him when he left.

oh, that's right I forgot about the non compete clause. I'd break it LOL. Or I'd quit the industry instead of working for the seemingly miserable person.

When I watched last night I was so distracted I didn't even remember the no compete thing. I've watched the show sporatically and am usually appailed at the condition of the salons but this one didn't look too dirty, compared to the others. Shocked that the owner brough back the ols furniture.

Ugh. I just got thru watching this and I have to say that woman is a real piece of work. If she's so freaking miserable owning a salon that clearly isn't going to work, then why doesn't she sell and get out from under it? And I couldn't believe she repainted, put back the old couch, AND the cameras.

If I were those stylists, I'd bail. I'd think they could find work that's not in South Beach. Plenty of other communities. Or else rise up and mutiny, and all leave at once. And then file a class action lawsuit against the woman for creating a hostile work environment.

That owner had serious issues!!! I've worked in a salon and it really is important to keep morale up and for the owner to be part of it. I wonder what kind of hairdresser she was and how she treated her clients? Like heads on an assembly line?

What a shame that the one lady was afraid to tell her she had a son.

Yeah, lexie girl I never understood the point of that little rule. I would love to know that that salon was now out of business or that the owner lost all her stylists.

The Sing-Off is a special four episode/eight hour presentation next week. From what I gather from it is like American Idol but with groups, and singing without instruments.

Here's the press release:

DEBUT OF 'THE SING-OFF' OFFERS A CAPPELLA VOICE COMPETITION -- "The Sing-Off" is a four-night event premiering Monday, December 14 (8-10 p.m. ET) that features a one-of-a-kind battle of voices that continues on December 15 and 16, culminating with a live finale on December 21 (8-10 p.m. ET each night). The show will feature the country's top eight a cappella groups performing popular songs in a way that viewers never heard them before. There's no lip-synching, back-up bands or safety net. They'll be singing for America's vote with the winner walking away with the ultimate prize -- an Epic Records/Sony Music recording contract. "The Sing-Off" is produced by Joel Gallen's ("America's Best Dance Crew") Tenth Planet Productions, Outlaw Entertainment and Sony Pictures Television. Joel Gallen, Deb Newmyer and Sam Weisman are executive producers.
PRINCIPAL CAST INFORMATION:
· Ben Folds as Judge
· Nick Lachey as Host
· Nicole Scherzinger as Judge
· Shawn Stockman as Judge


I think one group is eliminated on Monday, two on Tuesday, leaving a final five to perform on Wednesday with viewers deciding the winner, to be shown in the finale the next Monday.

12/14/09 (Mo.) 8:00 PM NBC (#101-120) PILOT
12/15/09 (Tu.) 8:00 PM NBC (#102-120) BIG HITS & GUILTY PLEASURES
12/16/09 (We.) 8:00 PM NBC (#103-120) SUPERSTAR MEDLEY, JUDGES' CHALLENGE & SONGS OF HOPE
12/21/09 (Mo.) 8:00 PM NBC (#104-120) THE FINALE


Sounds just the thing for the run up to Christmas, I'm looking forward to it.

Here is some info for the fans of Fox Reality Channel's "Solitary".

Since FRC has announce it's closing down in March, there have been mixed reports on whether or not we will get to see season 4.0.

This site keeps up with the status, and also has started a movement for another network to pick it up.

http://savesolitary.com/


Personally, I think we will get 4.0 before FRC closes it's doors March. Heck, it's already been filmed, and Val even made this video. Seems like a tease to get us excited about 4.0.

http://savesolitary.com/?p=14

Anyway, if FRC is closing in March, that means Solitary should be starting pretty soon. My bet is mid-late January.

Anyone watch the two-part mini-series 'Alice'? Showcase put a language/mature themes warning on it but I can't for the life of me figure out why. We really enjoyed it, I like the re-imagining of these classics more than the more common remakes. As far as censor warnings, I would put this on a very similiar level as 'Tin Man' IMO.

Is anyone watching Jersey Shore and what is it about? I keep hearing blurbs about it on the news about how "controversial" it is for the Italian community. Is it worth it for me to go back and record previous episodes?

Lexie, its similar to Real World but with 20 somethings from New Jersey. They drink alot and fight some and are pretty crude. They are "renting" a house on the Jersey shore and working at a t-shirt shop on the boardwalk.
