Jenny’s Choice

I’ve been kind of burned out on Worst Cooks in America (& the celeb version). But the new season starting tonight brings in Alton Brown against Anne Burrell, and this is a matchup I have to see. Each will lead a team of “worst cook” recruits through a culinary boot camp to find the best of the worst and will then pit them against each other in a final challenge, cooking for a panel of culinary judges, in order to win $25,000 for themselves and bragging rights for their team leader.

Out of all the rival chefs paired against Anne, Alton Brown matches her in terms of attitude, and he’s got the chops to take his team to the win. We’ll see if I’m right or not when the season premieres tonight!

On tonight’s episode, “Bottom’s Up,” sixteen of the worst cooks in America enter boot camp with dreams of putting their kitchen nightmares behind them; Anne Burrell and Alton Brown ask the recruits to make a baseline dish and the results are truly disastrous.

Meet the new recruits and see Alton’s premiere tonight on Food Network at 9/8c.

I’ll also be watching NCIS: LA & Beat Bobby Flay.

Sports Betting Exposure and Shows on Mainstream Television

With sports betting now legalized in the United States on a state-by-state basis, it is only a matter of time before it is legalized in all 50 states. Just look at the success of the New Jersey online gambling market and how much it has grown in only a little over a year.

With legalized sports betting being legitimate, it has also brought about more exposure in the mainstream media. The giant of Fox Sports now has its own sportsbook in FoxBet, and ESPN now has shows on its network that have to deal with sports betting.

On top of that, Yahoo recently announced a partnership with MGM to put betting lines on their search engine and then link up to the MGM sportsbook to allow users to make sportsbetting picks & wagers. It has been a snowball effect in the mainstream media in terms of sports betting exposure, and it will only increase as more states legalize sports betting.
