BRAVO Junkie

Posted on August 1st, 2008 by admin

I’m a Bravo TV addict. It’s a whole channel devoted to shows that don’t really matter. I suppose they matter do someone out there, but really…in the scheme of things…they don’t matter one bit. I’ve been watching a lot of Bravo lately and thought I’d share my take on a few of my favorite Bravo shows. And really…the whole purpose of my blog is to give my take. My take on life, love, and television.

Since my staple shows are on hiatus right now (Grey’s Anatomy, LOST…hmm…those are really the only two shows that matter) I need to fill my TV time with other things. Things that don’t require thought or contemplation of any kind. Shows that you can watch while surfing the net. I like shows like that.

I Likey…

1. Project Runway. I LOVE this show. I think it is so neat to see how the designers come up with their ‘visions’ and turn them into an outfit. Some are really great designs while others are just strange and out there. Although strange and out there is sometimes the point of a challenge. It’s one of my favorite shows on television. And that damn Heidi Klum is so damn nice and so damn pretty! What does she see in Seal? My forecasted winner is Kenley. She’s done some modern designs, but she dresses like a pin up vamp. I also like Terri.

2. Flipping Out. I mentioned this the other day on here as this is a rather new discovery. I love it. Jeff Lewis is this high class house flipper who sells his homes to celebs and rich, snobby people. He’s a total drama queen gay guy who’s botoxed his lips one too many times. He’s insane, bossy, high strung, and plain strange. His assistant is funny too. She’s the spitting image of Elaine from Seinfeld. I’ve always enjoyed the house flipping shows, but this one is more about Jeff and his insanity than the details of the flips. Here is is giving one of his contractors hell…

3. Shear Genius. This show is in its second season. I’m sure I had heard of it one way or another, but I just started watching it mid season this year. It’s all about hair! Hair stylists from all over the country area competing. And with all the other reality shows there are always weird ones. The shows would be boring if it were all normal people. The show is hosted by Jaclyn Smith who I have to say is a little boring. No offense to her, she seems nice. But she’s just boring. My winning pick for the show is Dee. She’s this pretty, funky, spikey haired lesbian who really seems to know her hair.

4. Kathy Griffin: My Life on the D-List. Now…don’t freak out cuz you’re a Griffin hater. I’m not really that big of a Griffin fan myself. And honestly, I’ve never watched an entire episode of her show until last night. I ended up watching two or three episodes in a row because I was laughing so much. I wasn’t laughing so much at Kathy, but I was lauging at her Mother, Maggie. She’s a 87 year old-who looks and acts like she’s much younger. Kathy sort of teases and provokes her trying to get her to say funny things. And boy, does she. If you’ve never watched the show-do it. If Maggie’s being featured in an episode (she usually pops in somewhere) then you will laugh.

Here’s a pic of Kathy and her (funnier) Mom…

Kathy looks a little cracked out in that picture, but look how cute her Mom is. She loves the vino, which helps her humor. I think I’m going to take up drinking wine before I blog. It will either be a lot funnier or even more senseless.

5. Top Designer. I have yet to watch a whole season of this show, but I plan on it this time around. I absolutely LOVE HGTV’s Next Design Star and this is basically exactly the same only it has that Bravo reality spin. AKA: the host is a skinny celebrity that looks good in short dresses. That’s the only requirement to be a host on a Bravo reality show. Top Designer starts next week and I will be following it!

Thank god for the ability to record television shows via Windows Media Center on T’s new computer. It makes watching ungodly amounts of television so easy. Maybe a little too easy.

Bravo!

SIDE NOTE: Happy Birthday to my Sister (Subversive Mommy on the comments)! I’ll do a post about my sis when I get my hands on some of her old prom pictures.

Speaking of my sister….why haven’t you been commenting???? Are you secretly plotting to start your own funnier and wittier blog behind my back? Hmm…
