seriously. It is my guilty pleasure. And there seem to be more and more of these shows to choose from than ever before. For me though, there are just a couple of shows that I hate to miss.
I am a big fan of Amazing Race. It is not on in America right now. However, Amazing Race Australia is on and I love it! This is the first season and it is incredibly exciting to watch. They have gone to some amazing locations... last week they were in Israel and one of their tasks was to walk the Via Dolorosa while carrying an 80 kilo cross. They had to find one of their clues at King Herod's winter palace and I truly appreciated how the father and son team took time to stand and take in the sights at the Wailing Wall before heading on to their next task.
I also enjoy Food Network Star. This week I was such a geek that I was on Twitter following the hashtag #star and answering all of the questions and making comments during the show. Tom is such a good sport to let me take over the tv and be on my computer at the same time. The contestants had to do a new take on traditional dishes like lasagna, meatloaf, or shepherd's pie. Two of the dishes stood out for me. The first was Vince's take on lasagna that he called Lachonga. He took lasagna and wrapped it in a tortilla, deep fried it, and then topped it with sauce. Ew! The judges were not real thrilled either. What did look good to me and got great reviews from the judges was Jeff's take on pork chops and applesauce. He made a pork chop sandwich with apple slaw. Yummo! All of the contestants got to do a 3 minute cooking demo on Rachel Ray's show. It was fun to watch.
okay. So I bared my soul regarding my guilty pleasures on TV...what are yours?!!
