I googled and there's someone complaining about the Canadian Discovery channel not picking it up, so I guess it's not on there. I haven't had a chance to see it tonight, so don't know if it was worth watching yet.

Did anybody watch the latest new episode of "Man VS. Wild"?. I just wanted to say I have nothing against killing animals for food, but I thought killing the reindeer was completely unjustified. Mr. Grylls really ticked me off with this one.

Nobody watching So You Think You Can Dance Canada?

It's really good!! Excellent dancers and I like the judges. Quite a few judges and choreographers overlap from the U.S. version.

Can we get it here in the U.S.? I would enjoy watching it since I love the U.S. version.

I don't know Smokey, maybe if you have satellite TV. Do you tap into any Canadian channels that you know of?

Well, that answers that. :-( I can't watch the Jackson tribute. They let me watch the commercial, then a box popped up that said "Canada only".

I don't have any Canadian stations that I'm aware of. I have Time Warner Cable. We sometimes get Canadian shows, but that's it, not the stations. We used to get this Canadian show called Falcon Beach (I think).

Rats. Oh well.

I couldn't find a thread for Table for 12. Just a note to say that there are two NEW episodes on Tuesday Sept 22nd.

Can't wait.

Is anyone watching The Naughty Kitchen with Chef Blythe Beck on Oxygen? I think it is the first season and I think only 2 shows have been on. I am really liking it.

I've seen both of the episodes. But I only watched the second episode because I thought the first one was an absolute train wreck....so I'll probably keep watching it because I like train wrecks. When the first episode was on, I was cooking, so I couldn't see the TV for the first like 15 minutes and I was convinced that the person speaking was a man. LOL. How wrong I was.

I can't believe that she's gone to her hair stylist to get her hair fixed in both the episodes because, to me, her hair is an absolute wreck and looks as bad when it's "done" as when it's not. And her food looks totally unappetizing to me. An iceberg lettuce salad is one of her bit hits? Really?

OK, I think last night was my swan song with Naughty Kitchen. First, she skeeves me out. She can't keep her fingers out of the food, and then she runs them through her hair, and then back to the food, and then into her mouth, etc. And this whole "naughty" thing is so ridiculous....what makes bacon sexy? The fact that Blythe equates fattening foods with sex? And did I really have to hear her talking about squash and zucchini being phallic--as if this were a unique or even noteworthy observation? And how about "I don't really like salad, but I like this one." "No, but you like to toss salad." Then the convo with the meat vendor, which I could have written from watching films like Porky's...."you have such nice meat! *wink wink* *nudge nudge* And it's delicious, too!" Give me a break. It's like watching a group of adolescent boys having a conversation.

And then the food. Why why WHY a "chicken fried" lobster? And worse, she then pours tons of tomato-habanero sauce all over it? It's LOBSTER for god's sake! I swear, it's some of the trashiest food I have ever seen.

Just in case anyone cares, Antonio Sabato Jr.'s bachelor type show ended. (My Antonio was the name of it.) He picked Brooke. They have already broken up.

Does anyone watch Gordon's Ramsay's "The F Word" on BBC America? I just started a couple weeks ago and OMG I love it! Every episode, he has 4 regular people in a restaurant set up and they have to serve an appetizer, entrée, and dessert to a crowd of 50 people under Gordon's tutelage. The diners decide whether they'd pay for the meal or not and, at the end of the episode, we learn how many out of the 150 tickets will be paid for. In between, we get to see Gordon teach them how to cook the dish, yell at them, and joke around.

Ramsay also teaches the audience about food stuff. In season 2, he raised some pigs in his backyard and, at the end of the season, took them to the slaughter house and served them on the show (the slaughter thing was not for the timid, that's for sure); in season 3 he raises sheep, etc. He also teaches about cooking quickly and healthfully, about the crisis facing cod in the UK, the joys of eel, etc.

It's a really really good show.

NBC reality series cooks up serious competition

LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) – NBC has ordered an ambitious culinary competition series with a prize that is among the biggest in reality show history.

The network has green-lighted a program from "Top Chef" production company Magical Elves in which the grand prize winner will launch his or her own chain of restaurants. The show's working title is "United Plates of America."

A group of would-be restaurateurs will compete to impress a panel of wealthy investors from the cooking and business world. Challenges will test competitors' savvy on such subjects as their restaurant's concept, menu and marketability and their ability to manage staff.

The show's winner will receive a restaurant chain that opens in four locations in various U.S. cities on the night of the show's season finale.

Panelists and the show's premiere date will be announced later.

Producers expect the investors to add a unique component to the show because it's their money that will fund the chain. "It's a culinary competition that anybody can take part in," executive producer Dan Cutforth said. "All you need is a great idea for a restaurant."

Yes I love "The F Word", and just about any show that Gordon Ramsay does.

Anybody watching Chef Academy on Bravo? I saw the rerun of it - a French Chef starts an academy reality show - the final contestants meet with him for an interview and had to make an omelet - the interesting part is they have 3 chances before they are "chopped" or "pack their knives and are gone"

Hope we see some cooking and not so much competition - not sure how that will work for TV with this chef tho...

I think, although I'm not sure, that he teaches them something. Then they have to apply it and are graded (pass/fail). Three fails and they are out.

Looked kinda interesting, so will continue to watch it since not much is on on Monday nights.

Actually, now that they are in to the competition, it seems kinda of interesting. While Chef Novelli doesn't go into detail (that WE see) of how to make something, he did demonstrate how to make three different desserts.

I found it interesting how most of them that went off on their own and tried to be creative failed. Five of the cheftestants received a fail.

And I'm loving that Emmanuel is/was a porn star. And no, I didn't go google him! (He is kinda hot, though!)
