LOVED Top Chef Masters last night, but I have to say, Kelly Choi was disappointing. She looked like she needed to eat a cheeseburger - or five. She's still not as bad as Padma - who is monotone and condescending - but still not the right fit for the show. Why does the host have to be a female model with a loose connection to the food world?

where in the world is padma and tom. i don't like change. and what happened to Pack your knives and go? Now its return to the kitchen and pack your knives? crap i tell you, crap. i am totally old school with the top chef. season 6 better be normal.

I had very high expectations for TC Masters, and they were exceeded. Um, Bravo!

Compared to Real Housewives of New York and Atlanta, I am not "being sucked in" by the Jersey housewives, but my colleague who does not watch any reality shows loves it.. It is totally out of my expectation!

There are rumors that Kelly Bensimon will be back next season. I promise, I will not watch RHoNY if she's on. I'm not alone. Please, tell me it's not true!

I liked Top Chef Masters. It DID take huge guts for the chefs to put their reputations on the line but it was great for charity. Also, if that had been Top Chef, the contestants would have flipped out about the dorm room cooking situations and whined. Not ONE of the masters whined about the conditions. I liked Hubert but was really grossed out about the food in the bathroom. Seeing the students' shampoo in the stall--who knows what germs were in there! Kelly is doing a good job, but is a little too formal-serious and could look a little more calming, casual. She was so engaging in your office.

People who keep asking about Tom, Padma, etc. They were filming Top Chef while this was being filmed, if I recall from a LeAnn blog. Plus, they probably couldn't film year round due to other obligations.

Andy,
I love the NJ housewives.
It is so refreshing to see a reality show where people are happily married, have great well adjusted kids, have real friendships, call themselves friends rather than "cast mates" (Bethenny and Jill take note).
Even the Drama of danielle is harmless.
It is wonderful to see parents doing such a great job raising their kids. And such adorable kids.
I am so sick of the meaness of the other housewives shows and the divas they have become.

What is up with viewers questioning why Dina's husband doesnt' want to be on TV.
I don't think that just because he doesn't want to be on TV makes him shady- (I believe that the IRS can find people who aren't on TV- it would be a pretty sad IRS if they had to wait for people to show up on TV to be able to investiate them.) How do you know he is never home. Are you outside his house watching?
Carolyn and Dina's husbands work together -do you people not watch the show.
Many people do not want to be on reality TV shows- I don't and I am not shady- not hiding from the IRS.

Andy, Is there going to be a new season for Real Housewives of NYC and also of NJ ?

I hope so--I love the two shows

Not so much for Real Housewives of OC and Atlanta

Blessings and Hugs

Can you get RSS feeds for your blogs? It would be nice to get a reminder when they get posted.

Hated it. Where is Tom, Gayle and Phadma? Boring...

Where the heck is Padma? After all the seasons of Top Chef she's hosted, why the change? Not saying that Kelly Choi isn't as good a host but can someone explain the change to me?

Hi Andy,

Can you tell the Bravo people to cancel NJ housewives and bring back Atlanta. This show is such a snooze, and they people are so catty. Really unbearable to watch.

How can this be called Top Chef? Where is Tom, amd Padma, and Gail? It's not the same without them. Kelly is no Padma. And I need to see Tom on this show.

How adorable is Kelly? Her enthusiasm is contagious! I was already planning on watching the Top Chef Masters tonight but it sounds even better. I really like the premise of the show. Can't wait... Glad to see your window is working better. Great view.

Oh Jerelyn cool your jets
I am sure they will get around to the "lost reunion footage of the Atlanta housewives reunion show.
Give them time- they are just now showing the OC.
Perhaps the Atlanta houswives were better behaved and have less scandelous footage to show.
Poor Andy- you have the weirdest viewer comments on these blogs.

Hey Andy, where the hell is the spin off The Real Housewives, a show that features ALL STAR members of all the casts doing some kind of vacation together or event or social thing. A 6 episode special that brings new life to the series.

I'd love to see an all star season featuring the best cast members having the best DRAMA with cast members from other Housewives shows.

And open up another button on your shirt for the New Jersey reunion. Get Teresa's sexy as hell husband to remove his shirt or at least show shirtless footage of his BODY!

I was there last night.. and wanted to say hi, but didn't want to disturb your conversation with kathy.. let me say,, Kathy looks so much thinner in person...
she was hysterical and we laughed out loud.. But Jimmy Fallon stole the night..
what did you think?

Andy...can't wait for Top Chef Masters tonight!! Is Kelly Choi really that cool off camera? How fun is she?! So the question at hand is, did the window close today or is still stuck? haha

I just noticed the cross-eyes...it proves my theory that your are so enthustiastic about your job..that you are about to implode..hence the cross eyes..believe you me..things could be worse.
Looking forward to the ambush next week on RHNJ..Looks like Theresa is gonna be a wild card!

Andy:
Why didn't you show Atlanta Housewives, the stuff that nobody saw ? But, yet you show all those laim housewives from New York and OC. Is is a race thing ? Because I hear the the Reunion show of the Atlanta Housewives was eight hours long and you only showd something that I could care less of seeing.
