Reviews and Previews:
Can we all just give one, collective yawn now that Worst Cooks in America is over? Finally, we can take these toothpicks out of our eyes and go back to caring about more important things like dryer lint and killer bees. And, hello, was Chef Beau creepin' on Jenny during the finale or were we just wishing we were watching Jersey Shore reruns? Maybe he was as bored as we were.
For all you 12 News Valley Dish fans, VD's starting to get its groove on although there are still the occasional bumps. While we loved Diamondbacks President and CEO Derrick Hall's insights (seriously, Derrick, you had 10 bleeding ulcers last year? No wonder you don't eat red meat) we could have done without the iceberg lettuce in the Thai tacos and the "Girls on Film" camera clicking sound effect over the pet segment -- or anything for that matter. Keep honin' them skills, Tram, we'll be watching.
This weekend, it's nothin' but Bowl, so pickins are slim; although we're loving Food Network's new show, Mexican Made Easy, to the point of making the first episode's fabulous chilaquiles with tomatillo sauce and gulping them down like we were trying out for the Colts' defensive line.
