Amazing Race: Lies & Blindness

Category: Amazing Race,Recaps,TV — velveetahead @ 10:23 pm

While we were introduced to the teams on the race, the golf twin sisters stated that people were going to underestimate them, which is what half the all girl teams say when they come on the Amazing Race. They also said there would be no crying. Well, when they became blind while trying to find Phil, even though he was right in front of them, they started to cry when they realized their stupidity. Thus, leading to an episode of lies and blindness.

TV Tonight: Mon., Feb. 20, 2012

Category: TV,Upcoming — velveetahead @ 2:27 pm

It was recently officially announced that this will be the final season of House. I think after the mess the show became at the end of last season, I’m glad that it is finally ending. Tonight, a hospitalized marriage counselor shows behavior that contradicts his motivational message on gender roles. Meanwhile, House and his green-card Ukrainian “wife” try to show immigration officials that they’re a happily married couple. House also decides to name a new team leader.

TV: Week of February 19, 2012

Category: TV,Upcoming — velveetahead @ 12:30 pm

For a holiday weekend, there are a ton of shows premiering. All of the ones listed below start tonight with the exception of Being Human which will air on Supernatural Saturdays on BBC America.

Pick of the Week

The Amazing Race is back for its 20th season. A season is really only as entertaining as the cast so I start each season hoping for some truly entertaining people. There seems to be some drama with a couple from Big Brother. I guess they are not well loved. Since I don’t watch that show, I have no idea who they are, so I guess I’ll see if I get annoyed with them as others seem to already be.

Pick of the Week

Yes, Cougar Town has a horrible name and they will probably never change it, but it is a funny show. If you are a fan of Scrubs or Bill Lawrence (creator of both Scrubs and Cougar Town), then you should give the show a try. You can jump right in and figure out what’s going on. What started out as a show where an older woman dated some twentysomething guys after her divorce has turned into an ensemble show where a bunch of friends sit around, drinking wine and causing havoc. Don’t you want to watch a show about that?

Cougar Town

TV: Week of February 5

Category: TV,Upcoming — velveetahead @ 10:58 am

Pick of the Week

The River looks super scary and for critics that have previewed the first few episodes, it continues to get scarier. It is from the producers of Paranormal Activity about a wildlife documentarian who disappears while filming on the Amazon. His family goes searching for him and finds his footage. They are also filming their entire adventure so there is a lot of scary camera work and also the cameras being set up to capture things they don’t see when they are awake. I shouldn’t fall for these kind of scares, but I do so I want to watch it. I would not recommend it for Amy though.

TV: Week of January 15

Category: TV,Upcoming — velveetahead @ 12:28 pm

Pick of the Week

What I love about this show is how everyone talks like they are in a Coen Brothers movie, like Raising Arizona or No Country for Old Men. Characters use big, fancy words while talking about coal mining and shooting their husbands/wives. It’s hilarious. As an added bonus, Timothy Olyphant is damn sexy. In the third season, Raylan is dealing with his ex-wife being pregnant with his child while dealing with Boyd Crowder going back to his bad ways. There are two new baddies this season and they both came from Boomtown: Neal McDonough and Mykelti Williamson.

TV: Week of January 8

Category: TV,Upcoming — velveetahead @ 4:21 pm

Pick of the Week

House of Lies is about a management consultant firm where the consultants have questionable morals in order to make the most money off their clients. I’m most looking forward to this show, even though critics seemed split on it. Some really like the black comedy and the outstanding cast of Don Cheadle and Kristen Bell. Others find it soulless. I really want to like it since I would love to find something worthy of Kristen Bell’s talent after Veronica Mars.

Top Chef: BBQ Exhaustion

Category: Recaps,Top Chef,TV — velveetahead @ 11:40 pm

Yes, there was some drama surrounding Sarah leaving a challenge mid-way through due to heat exhaustion (flashback to Jamie and her cut finger), but I’m getting more and more concerned over Chris J.’s stupid ponytail on top of his head. I think when there were more chefs, I didn’t fully notice it, but now that there are only nine, it is becoming more noticeable. I thought he put it on top of his head for health reasons while cooking, but he wanders around the time with that stupid ponytail. Why doesn’t he just cut his hair?

Top Chef: Tweet Twist

Category: Recaps,Top Chef,TV — velveetahead @ 1:47 pm

I remember when the the Top Chef Twitter account was asking for fan suggestions for the quickfire challenge in this episode. I was wondering how it would play out in an episode and when it would air, but in case anyone thinks it didn’t actually happen, they did ask for suggestions on Twitter.
