The only interesting thing about this show is that one of the contestants is a porn star.

Chef Academy on Bravo. Porn Star For The Win. |

This has got to be the first time I've ever seen a Bravo show premiere without a thread here. I just watched the premiere and it's awful. So scripted
it makes Million Dollar Fisting look natural. I knew something was up when they gave it the regular time slot of 11pm on Monday nights.

I decided to wait to post until somebody else started the thread. This is such a strange show. It is like a "best of Bravo" mash-up: Real Housewives,
Top Chef, Make Me a Supermodel (French guy there to cook). And the cast is really odd, from those who have done culinary training to people who can't seem
to boil water.
I found it kind of fascinating, though. |

I like the "real housewife" even if she's a plant. The gay assistant dude is just bizarre and out of place.
It's not like I have anything else to watch Monday nights at 11, so I will stick with it. It's just a really strange show. I am sort of obsessed with Bravo's bad 1 season wonders. I expect this will join Tabloid Wars, Situation: Comedy, Welcome to the Parker and others on that list as fondly remembered guilty pleasures. |

True. The gay assistant guy should have been fired within the first 30 seconds. And yeah. REALLY strange show. The Real Hosewife. LOVE that they have her
applying lipstick while cooking, then saying, "OMG I was so nervous!" Good thing they didn't show Lucita, her cook, doing all the work for her.

It seemed like they just ran an ad seeking applicants for a reality show, period. Never mentioned cooking until they showed up, then HELLO! You're gonna
compete on a cooking show.

I actually liked the first episode. The fact that the full-of-themselves, highly trained chefs did worse than some of the newbies made it interesting.

Sardonic, your posts had me laughing out loud! Just for that I'll try and catch this show. shame on you!

Okay now I actually want to check this show out. A straight man with that kind of body? Intriguing.

I love the way they keep emphasizing that Chef Novelli was voted "World's Sexiest Chef."
And that he loves Columbo, "And zen ee scrratches ees hed...ee is soo intelligente...a legende." WTF is with the French and their taste in entertainment? The editing seems painfully obvious, but I like watching chef candidates who have a lower level of experience. It makes me feel superior. I mean, an egg in a fucking nest? Really? |

I liked it! Maybe because there's only one judge, and he seems to be talking about the food that's put in front of him and not coming up with a bunch
of stupid cliches. Most of the food was not so good, but hopefully it will get more interesting when/if they have to improvise.
And I love that he thinks Columbo is the biggest star ever. Peter Falk is worshipped for being Columbo all over Europe. |

I did not even know it was on but then again I have NEVER heard of this dude but I quit reading British Tabs a few years ago. But this is just not worthy of my
valuable time and energy. I have a feeling Launch My Line will also end in flames. NBC the parent company canceled the GREAT Marco's show and then spent
money on this piece of shit. It explains why they are selling to Comcast. At this point a group of us could get together get the crazy jewfag from MDL and he
could negotiate a price and could take it over. First up return of Hey Paula!
The "gayssistant" should have never left Torri's employ. Nuff said. |

This show should be on VH1. Novelli is a eurotrash serial media whore.
In 2003 Jean-Christophe appeared on The Games, a British reality show in which celebrities competed against each other in sporting events like diving and weight lifting (we're sure the 40 cigarettes a day really helped out there). Then, in 2005 he became a head chef on ITV's Hell's Kitchen UK for two seasons, which made him a British household name. The TV appearances continued: In 2006 he appeared on The X Factor: Battle of the Stars, the celebrity edition of Britain's American Idol. He made regular appearances on British cooking show …Cooks!, and has been a contestant on Family Fortunes (think Family Feud) as well as You're Fired, an Apprentice follow-up.http://www.eatmedaily.com/2009/11/who-the-hell-is-jean-christophe-novelli/ |

Yup. Fame whore. And Frenchie is too pretty for me. I liked the short-haired chick best.

I watched about 15 minutes of the auditioning during the premiere, went to see if there was a thread on this, and considered starting one. But, the only other show I started a thread for was the crappy "Simply Delicioso" On Food Network, and I didn't want to be 'that guy' who only starts threads for awful shows with hosts with bad accents. I'll watch this when they run a marathon, so's I can catch up. |

I kinda like it. Yes, it seems obvious that they planted the real housewife in there. Yet, I was still entertained and that's all I care about.
