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 […]
After falling behind at the worst possible time (in a U turn leg right after a non-elimination leg), one of the best teams in Amazing Race history was eliminated tonight leaving a final group of unexpected racers. There was no way, going into this season, I would have expected a final grouping that didn’t include […]
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 […]
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 […]
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. And […]
I realize I have fallen behind on the many many things happening in the TV world right now. It’s finale time, which means it’s My TV Season Wrap-Up time so my plate is quite full of writing to be done. In the mean time, in case you haven’t been following @MyEntWorld on twitter (which you […]
The newest SYTYCD All Star is announced while the worst Amazing Racers of the year finally get the boot.
1) Nigel announced who the female hip hop master is going to be for the SYTYCD All-Star pool and it’s the least surprising news since he announced the male hip hopper (Twitch). It’s season 4’s Comfort Fedoke, the best female popper the show’s ever seen from easily its best hip hop season. 2) I’m pretty […]
My favourite Amazing Race team pulled off an awesome feat this week: they went from last place (in a non-elimination round) to first place (by a long shot) while completing a speed bump along the way (a task that only they have to complete because they were spared elimination). The Cowboys, Jet and Cord (who […]
It’s no secret that Big Brother is a huge guilty pleasure of My TV. Thus, it’s no surprise that this writer was ecstatic to see last season’s winner Jordan and her showmance/alliance-mate Jeff take on a new reality competitions: The Amazing Race. After coming in last two weeks ago and barely escaping elimination last week, […]
My Theatre: My TV’s new sister site, My Theatre premiered recently with reviews of Toronto’s new hit My Mother’s Lesbian Jewish Wiccan Wedding, a Conneticut Repertory Theatre Comedy of Errors and the national touring production of The Lion King. You’ll also find a link to Jude Law’s wonderful Hamlet-themed SNL monologue and a first-hand account […]
There’s no doubt in my mind that CBS is the number one station for reality television. This past week the network premiered it’s twentieth season of Survivor and it’s sixteenth season of The Amazing Race. Now, these numbers a bit less impressive when you consider the fact that each series airs about 2 season per […]
The next season the The Amazing Race is currently filming. While CBS remains quiet about the cast and claims they won’t be announcing the new teams for a while, many fans are already snapping photos of the teams which they’re encountering at airports. And one couple just so happens to be Jeff and Jordan from […]
Something strange is happening this year in television…specifically reality television. For the first time in forever, my favorite contestants are making it to the finals and winning. Typically I have my favorites which I route for throughout the season and they tend to get close to the end but never really make it. That has […]
THE LOSERS Well, stereotypes certainly took a beating this year as the nerdy Asian brains took the prize, the deaf kid made the finals, the short guys triumphed at every physical challenge and the cheerleaders and flight attendants made fewer mental mistakes than the Harvard elite. That said, I’m going to call every school but […]
Why Can’t Anyone on The Amazing Race Swim? This week they had to endure a foot massage and then swim a 400m relay in a clean, standard length pool- explain to me why this is so hard!
Why invoke Forrest Gump when talking about the Amazing Race? Because I am about set to proclaim this the season of the underdog. There were plenty of teams this year who started the race seeming like sure things. Brad and Victoria came out of the gate as physical power players with just the right amount […]
To win the Amazing Race you have to trust your teammate. You have to work together. You have to have patience with everyone from your partner to yourself to your cab driver. You have to avoid stupid mistakes and you have to read the clue thoroughly- that’s it! there’s not a lot more to it […]
I have no reasonable explanation for this but I’ve recently taken to watching incredibly bad TV shows on a regular basis. It started with Big Brother and One Tree Hill. I’ve always watched them (the residual effects of being 14 at exactly the wrong time) and have comforted myself with the reassurance that I’m allowed […]
Alright, I’m just going to come right out and say it: the hillbillies are not the dumbest Amazing Racers of the season. Sure they could barely walk straight and she spent more time blubbering than a four year old, but Steve and Linda exited The Amazing Race this week with words of impressive perspective. Meanwhile, […]
What I love this week…. Maria Schneider. Big Band is back people! Slings & Arrows Season 2. Particularly the Romeo & Juliet stuff. Yvonne Strahovski on Chuck. Proving week after week that Buffy was really kind of a lame character afterall on the grand scale of hot blond super crime fighters. The fact that it’s […]
I don’t think I’ve ever seen more deserving reality show winners. Nick and Starr Spangler ran The Amazing Raceclose to flawlessly and on tonight’s season finale they were rewarded with 1st place. Let’s break down everything they did right. First off, they were a perfect team. I think siblings is the way to go when […]
After 13 seasons (only 1 of which I watched I think), The Amazing Racehas me inexplicably hooked. I don’t know why I did it but the other day I just had to watch the first episode of the season on CBS.com. Now here I am, 2 days and 8 episodes later, waiting anxiously for Sunday’s […]
