t was the ultimate beach weekend in New York and I partook in a deep way. Two days soaking in saltwater was the perfect way to prepare for this HUUUUGE week on Bravo!

Tomorrow night is the Season 3 premiere of Flipping Out. If this season isn't nominated for an Emmy, I will ... I don't know what I'll do, maybe just be disappointed or maybe become a "cutter." This show is like no other on television: it feels and looks and sounds different, the tone is dark and funny and weird, the music is great, and it is driven by characters that are compelling and original. Jeff and Jenni are in NYC all week (Jeff's on Watch What Happens Live Thursday night) and I'm excited to see them.

Wednesday night is a massive Top Chef bacchanalia, starting with the supersized premiere of our new season in Vegas. What can I say about this new one that you haven't already read? The chefs are the best we've ever seen and include two brothers duking it out, several James
Beard alum, a twist on the game involving "high stakes Quickfires" and a fishtank in the kitchen!

On Thursday, the ladies of Atlanta will rock your world, boo. (And if they don't, I'm sending Pookie to take care of you.) First it's an extended cut (kinda like a DVD director's cut) of the meal and fight culminating into the wig pull. It's dark and surreal and involves Michael Lohan, who happened to be eating in the restaurant at the same time and tries to stop the fight. Watch for NeNe telling him to go back to Malibu, boo. After that it's a supersized new episode at 10
followed by a special Watch What Happens Live a little after midnight with Kim and Jeff Lewis and Anderson Cooper.

Whew, that is a big week!

This morning I'm writing this blog from the TODAY greenroom. I'm going on Mondays with Hoda and Kathie Lee to talk about the buzz of the week, and this room is pretty buzzy itself. Kendra Wilkinson is in front of the mirror, Joan Rivers is cracking jokes and sucking on a lozenge, and Top Chef alum Ryan Scott is being sweet as cherry pie.

Speaking of buzz, I read over the weekend that, following his Watch What Happens Live appearance, a gay magazine made an offer to Levi Johnston to pose nude. You'll recall that he told me Thursday night that he was game but it depended on what kind of coin he'd make. I wonder what the offer is and if he'd really do it. Hmmm. Cause for pause, people.

I got a lot of e-mails about Dwight and his reluctance to answer a lot of my questions. It is indeed "Dawrong" to "pass" on questions on Watch What Happens Live!! The "Dawight" thing to do would be to answer. And since I can't stop talking about it, here's the game we played on last week's show:

Andy,

I wanted to ask you a big favor and please take the time to do this for me please. Please pass on if onl just one very,very loyal viewer of all of the BravoTV network s opinion. Please kindly pass this on via email to the executives who you feel will have the need to hear some viewer feedback the most.

Please pass it along to the executives that out of all of the many BravoTV reality shows, that MIAMI SOCIAL AND NEW YORK CITY PREP are the only two that are complete failures in my personal opinion. Those two shows both MIAMI SOCIAL & NEW YORK CITY PREP had to have had the lowest ratings out of all of the reality shows as I feel that they are both just horrible on screen, extremely uninteresting, are not entertaining in the least. I will never, ever watch them. I swear out of them all from Million Dollar Listing down to the Kathy Griffin Show, these are the only TWO SHOWS THAT ARE FLOPS.

BRAVOTV EXECUTIVE PRODUCERS, PLEASE PUT STRONG CONSIDERATION INTO NOT ALLOWING A SEASON #2 OF EITHER ONE OF THESE SHOWS.

Copy this and email this message to any/all of the executives for me on a viewers behalf. I'd greatly appreciate it.

Thank you

Andy! I know im late reading your blogs but ive been busy the last couple of weeks turning 30 and all, but i have a suggestion for WWHLive! Have Kendra Wilkinson-Baskett on the show with you. Since shes in Penn. these days because the hubby plays for the Eagles. She is so super funny i think you guys would play off one another very well.

Love to love ya!

: 08/25/2009 - 10:48am; Rose Minar; I have been faithfully watching The West Wing on Bravo/DISH, two episodes each morning beginning at 7:00 a.m. (Central Daylight Time). This morning (8/25/09) it was gone! What happened? Has BRAVO dropped TWW with no notice? I hope not. Thanks in advance for yor response. Rose

: 08/21/2009 - 5:17pm; Viewer; What happened to the reunion of Miami Social? Hoping it comes back for a second season. Please let us Miami Social fans know something.

: 08/18/2009 - 10:44am; Dana; NYC Prep is over? I thought the finale episode still had to air. I was expecting that to be on tonight. Can someone set me straight on this? Thanks.

: 08/18/2009 - 9:30am; Kitty G; I cannot wait for Flipping Out tonight. As much as I love the Housewives-Jeff is my fav Bravolebrity other than you Andy. Also can't wait to see what Jeff will be offering on QVC in January-my other addiction. I was just thinking the same as you about the music on FO while watching last season's episodes. As far as the RHOBoston goes-how about Gretta Monahan who appeared on NYC Prep. She would be fabulous. Boston has Giselle now too,Andy. Give us a chance. If I don't win the trip to the ATL Reunion I'll be "cutting" right along with you. What a week. I used to be a HBO Ho now I'm a Bravo Bitch.

Ansy:

I use to be a fan of all the Bravo TV shows, however, I have become so dissappointed with the meanness Bravo seems ot think the public demands. I have quit watching all Bravo shows due to the increasing focus on mean behavior especially all the housewives shows. I tsaddens me that TV think we are so jaded and cannot appreicate kindness, intelligence, etc. the shows are becoming meaner and dumber

: 08/17/2009 - 5:43pm; Viewer; I can't find the extra 8 minute video of phone in from Kim to Nene
after 'Watch what happens' ended. Where did it go??? That is great stuff, soooo entertaining. Can't wait to see Kim on Thursday's show.

Hey Andy!

You had the cutest, most mischievious grin last week on Watch What Happens! Levi was tooooo cute! I am not surprised he has offers for nude pix! He should make some serious $$! Loved his comments on Sarah! HA!

Watched you on today~you were FAB! Quite the guest list this AM! Kendra, Joan and Andy??!! Plus Hoda and KLG?! I could not stop laughing!

Michael Lohan and NeNe~now THAT is something to watch! Is he still Jon Gosselin's "lifecoach"?

Ok, Dwight was Dwrong not to answer the questions! Since when is diplomacy his strongsuit? I was expecting the same guy who said to NeNe..."who is this dreadful person who had a fashion show with no clothes"? LOL! He left his madcap hilarity back in Atlanta. Those beads looked like something from "bead-o-rama" and his lashes? Oh puleeze, Miss Thang! Don't make me call Pookie to yank your lashes out, D-schlong! Loved his admitting to a penile implant! OY VEY! TMI!

The show still gets better every week! Love all your Bravo Clubhouse segments...I think Jackhole of the week is my FAV!

Loving Andy Cohen~the CUTEST tv Host around! Mazel Tov! xoxo
