-Last night's REAL HOUSEWIVES OF NYC made so uncomfortable that I actually turned
the channel!  First Ramona and Mario in the hotel room made me squirm...all I kept
thinking about was the camera man and how in the world he didn't say to them ewww
this is all making me sick...and what was that lame idea of a massage?  I thought that
was bad but then noooooo Alex modeling lingerie for the already creepy Simon was
ULTRA creepy and disgusting, I think may have thrown up in my mouth from them a
few additional comments about the show that I have to get out:
 1) I can't believe Cyndi was cut out of all of the pictures from Morocco
 2) Jill...WHO IN THE WORLD is hitting on Bobby and if they were, what makes you
think they would check the monogram on his shirt to see if he is married??? 
 3) Don't you think that Luann and Jacques look alike?
 4) Do we believe that Sonja's clothes were old and that she keeps the tags on them to
remember the deal she got? Especially when she just files for bankruptcy?
Okay...I am done...I feel better


-I did watch other less uncomfortable programming prior to the 10pm hour though...so
maybe we should take a step back from all of the uncomfortableness and talk more
about TEEN WOLF's very enjoyable 3rd episode.  I am really surprised at how much I
am enjoying this version.  I really love Tyler Posey who plays Scott (the Teen Wolf) and
the other Tyler (Hoechlin) who plays Derek is very cool too.
Another great Thursday surprise...an episode of RULES OF ENGAGEMENT that I hadn't
seen!  What was that slogan NBC used to use?  If you haven't seen it, it's new to you? 
Well this one was new to me and honestly it was one of the better ones of the season. 
Adam reveals that he wasn't a football player in high school but a cheerleader and his
fiancé Jen, sorta freaks out that Adam isn't who she thought he was...I found the entire
thing hilarious especially Adam's cheers!


After RULES, I checked out the premiere episode of ROCCO DISPIRITO's DINNER
PARTY.  A couple of comments...I don't watch any of the other cooking challenge
shows like TOP CHEF or MASTER CHEF so I don't know if this is the thing in general,
but I thought that Rocco (who is very cute and has a super cool walk) was really tough
on the contestants and busted their balls quite a bit. (I am making an executive
decision that using that phrase was okay...if anyone is offended...SORRY)  I also wasn't
sure who most of his "famous" dinner party guests were and I don't think the chef
contestants knew either. They were more concerned about the TOP CHEF MASTER
winner who attended than anyone else... So I am hoping that in future episodes in
addition to the pressure of cooking to win the 20G's they also feel they are cooking for
someone special which should add something more the to the challenge.


-I was able to catch last night's WATCH WHAT HAPPENS LIVE with my fave Andy
Cohen, which is always enjoyable...I don't know what it is with me lately as anyone
who knows me knows I am really not into fashion or shoes etc, but last week it drove
me crazy that Andy didn't wear socks with his shoes...this week he kept the trend
going but to add to my insanity, Rocco, was wearing these odd sneakery things which
really distracted my attention throughout the show.


-I didn't get to see the 2nd episode of ICE LOVES COCO or FRANKLIN & BASH, so I will
need to catch up on those plus tonight is the return of FRIDAY NIGHT LIGHTS (It
wasn't on last week due to Hockey Playoffs).  Can't wait for it!
