If We Controlled Your Remote… 4/6/14

Posted on April 6, 2014 by , and

Ahh, Sunday. My old nemesis. I love it because it’s still the weekend and it means the start of a new week for TV, but it also means that Monday is just around the corner. To console myself, I plan to watch some great TV. Check out our recommendations for what you could be watching, too. 😉

choppedsmallWe’ve spent the last four weeks on the Tournament of Stars for Chopped. The four amateur chefs left in the competition are soccer player Brandi Chastain, singer & Rachael vs. Guy: Celebrity Cook-Off contestant Carnie Wilson, actress/comedienne Gillian Vigman, & actor Michael Imperioli. I enjoy watching all of them cook, although Gillian I think was my favorite. I think it’ll be Michael who pulls off the win tonight, though. He was so strong in his first round, and I think he’ll bring it even harder tonight.

On tonight’s episode, “Chopped Tournament of Stars: Finale!” the chef competitors must utilize a drive-thru snack and a cold dessert in the Appetizer Round; duck makes an appearance in the Entree Round; the remaining contestants must reckon with churros and champagne in the final round.

See who takes home the prize for their charity tonight on Food Network at 9/8c.

I’ll also be watching/DVRing America’s Funniest Home Videos, American Dream Builders, Food Court Wars, Believe, Catch a Contractor, Crisis, & Cutthroat Kitchen.

If We Controlled Your Remote… 4/7/13

Posted on April 7, 2013 by , and

Eek, it’s the start of a new week, and if you’re in my area of the country, you can expect some major storms the next few days. Stay safe, everyone, and be on the lookout for some great new TV tonight. 😉

Kyle & I both really enjoy our share of cooking shows, and one of my favorites is Chopped. And tonight is the start of another All-Stars tournament, which is always fun. The 16 contestants will be competing to win $50k for the charity of their choice. Judges this go-round are Chris Santos, Maneet Chauhan, Marcus Samuelsson, Aaron Sanchez, & Geoffrey Zakarian. I’m glad Zakarian isn’t competing, although I wish he wasn’t judging, either. *laugh* Tonight’s competitors are Nadia G., Jeff Mauro, Gabriele Corcos, & Sunny Anderson, with judges Santos, Sakarian, & Chauhan.

On tonight’s episode, “Food Network vs. Cooking Channel,” favorites from both networks battle it out in the Chopped kitchen. Nadia G.’s dash to deliver a creative appetizer before the clock runs out makes for a very exciting first round. Then, in the second round, something’s fishy in the basket, and something wild happens as two of the competitors bump into each other, putting one chef’s dish at risk. With a spot in the $50,000 All-Stars finale and a favorite charity on the line, two finalists go head-to-head in the dessert round.

See who comes out on top tonight on Food Network at 9/8c. Learn where to find episodes online of Chopped @ TV.com.

I’ll also be watching/DVRing Iron Chef America & Vikings.
