Real Housewives and Top Chef

I love Bravo TV! I have several thoughts on the shows this week, mostly on Real Housewives.

I honestly don't think Jeff should have been filmed. That poor man had obviously taken a turn for the worst and it was really sad and uncomfortable to see him like that. It also really bothered me that Gretchen took off to Vegas right after he had gotten home from being in the hospital for 2 months. I've never been in her position, and I hope to God that I never am, and I really don't want to judge, but it seemed odd to me that she took off so fast and I don't think I could ever do that.

Vicki didn't bug me as much this episode, and I like her daughter. She seems to have her head on straight and she definitely got her mom's work ethic. I hope she and her boyfriend are OK. I did find the whole martini thing really stupid. Who cares if Gretchen likes the same drink as you do, Vicki? Does it really matter? I know several people who all enjoy the same drinks and no one gets all offended or upset about it! That was juvenile. 

Tamra's mom looked great! Her facelift was definitely not overdone and I hope she finds a nice man soon! She seems like a very sweet woman. Tamra also didn't bug me a whole lot in this episode, probably because she wasn't being as catty and jealous as usual.

I was happy Lynne's daughters weren't on this episode much, especially the older one. She's horrible and spoiled rotten. Lynne's mother was so right when she said Lynne is an enabler and that her daughter should get her car taken away ASAP for all the drinking and stuff. I don't care if it was a birthday gift, she's not responsible enough to have it. If I ever behaved the way her daughter does when I was that age, my parents would have taken my car in a second.

The resort in Vegas looked amazing! I hope to go to Vegas someday, and I wouldn't mind staying at the place they did, but it was so expensive! I think most of these women dress way too youthful. I'm 24 and I wouldn't wear some of the stuff they wear, such as Lynne's white dress. 

I think that covers RHOC, I can't wait for the reunion show in a couple weeks, then RHNYC!

I just got into Top Chef this season, and I love it! I'm really not a big fan of Padma, and I have no idea why. She comes off as snobby and a bit too abrupt for me (pack your knives and go!), and I don't know how much of that is for the show, and how much is her actual personality. She's very pretty tho! 

I was sad to see Jamie go because I liked her. I knew from what they were saying and how badly she messed up her dish that it would be her, but I was hoping for Leah to go anyway. I don't like her at all, and it's a shame because I did at the beginning. I love Carla, but I don't think she will win. She has a great personality and might be a threat for fan favorite. I also love Fabio, the charming Italian! He's very good looking, I love his accent, and he might have what it takes to win, and I think he will probably be fan favorite. Stephan is arrogant, but he has the talent to back it up. I like him for some reason, and I definitely think he has what it takes to win! He is on fire recently with the exception of the football challenge! I can't wait to see who wins in the end!

I posted my OC recap today! I cannot believe Lynne. She is so nuts!!! Those kids are awful. I also cannot believe Gretchen left Jeff again! he looked so sad!
I love Top Chef and watch every season. I thought Jaime might win but then she started getting to ungrateful and bitchy. I wanted Leah to go home the last few weeks and have no idea why she's still here!!!!!
