Before we announce the winners of the 2014 My TV Awards, we’re proud to present our annual Nominee Interview Series. Season 25 of The Amazing Race was cut-throat with multiple teams that were primed to annihilate the competition (only to be beaten by a pair of ultimate underdogs). By far the most likeable of those front-runners were […]

There are so many things in life to be thankful for last week as I celebrated Thanksgiving. I have a great job, awesome friends, a nice apartment, and the list goes on. Aside from all that and most importantly, CBS finally delivered a quality week of reality television for two shows that have had lackluster […]

Today was a reality TV kind of day. I caught up on the most recent 3 episodes of The Amazing Race then took on tonight’s 2 hour Voice episode (note: 3 hours a week is too much, that’s Idol-like self importance, cut back NBC, cut back). All four were great episodes (specifically The Voice), but […]

When a cab driver ruins The Amazing Race.  Sure, I really hate it when contestants are rude to their cab drivers, but second only to that is my intolerance of the unfair realities of the game: Things like long waits that result in everyone getting on the same flight, making a lead hard to rollover […]

A Farewell to Awesome

The spring brought with it a truly excellent Amazing Race with a truly disappointing finish. Adorably spunky underdog Caite (the oft-mocked former Miss Teen South Carolina) and her boyfriend Brent overcame low expectations and bitchy lesbians to place 3rd; second place went to cowboys Jet and Cord McCoy, one of the best teams I’ve ever […]

A Quick Look at “Reality”

Pastry Chefs are Bitchy… and Paranoid. Yigit and Morgan may be near the centre of the drama but I love them both so it’s fine. Heather, on the other hand, has got to go. (Top Chef: Just Desserts) The Amazing Race will be a sadder place without my beloved A Capella singers. And I still […]

This Week in Reality
  Kelly Bedard

  Top Chef had their uneventful reunion show this week. It served little purpose other than to put further salt in the wound of Kevin’s unexpected (read: not really deserved) victory. What was great though was that they announced that in December they’ll start their first ever All-Stars season. I love a good all-stars season. […]
