This week I chose to delve into a personal hobby and interest of mine, which is cooking. Chopped is a weekly competitive cooking show on the food network. Four chefs compete in three rounds, Appetizer, Entree, and desert, using specific ingredients found in their 'Mystery Baskets.' Each round one chef is eliminated for having the weakest dish. The final chopped champion wins $10,000.
What intrigues me about the show is that not all the chefs are classically trained, they've been self taught. Others come from well known high end restaurants. But, the best part is that anyone can win.. the chef with the michelin star, the self made caterer, or the New York City top chef.
New episodes of Chopped can be seen Tuesday night's at 10pm and repeats can be seen just before and after as well as other times throughout the week on the Food Network.

Man Up!
This week's review is of the ABC comedy Man Up! I've seen every episode of this pilot season and I have to say it does a great job of living up to it's title. The show revolves around three men, one married and two living together. The outstanding actor in the show is Dan Fogler, from such movies as Balls of Fury and Take Me Home Tonight. Comedically, he shines, and is definitely the manliest of the men on the show.
This week's episode involves one of the men trying to convert a lesbian, one, avoiding his family for 30 minutes a day, and Dan Fogler's character finding himself meeting his new girlfriend's parents, who are lesbians, and therapists.
What I enjoy about the show is the constant subplots, that finally unite somewhere before the end of the episode. As a group the three men are hilarious but the show attracts other audiences by showing the perspectives of other people like Ex wives, wives, and relatives.
Check out Man Up! On ABC Tuesdays as 8:30pm.

Real World Problems
Hey bloggers,
This week's review is about a very volatile and debated subject. In this week's episode of the real world, the main focus of the show was homosexuality. It was the annual pride festival in San Diego and seeing as there are two gay housemates everyone decided to attend pride events to support their two housemates and to support gay and lesbian rights... Everyone that is except Zach and Ashley.
Zach was raised not understanding and being accepting of the gay culture and does little to show that he is open to their life choice. Ashley simply doesn't care and due to their mutual attraction she does whatever Zach doesn't.The house becomes divided when they choose not to go out with the rest of the housemates to a gay and lesbian bar. Later on Zach makes an ignorant comment to Sam, a lesbian, just after she's received news that a close friend of hers has been in a bad accident. This upsets, not only Sam and Frank, the two homosexuals in the house, but the rest of the cast as well.
A divide is created between the housemates and assuming by the previews of tonight's episode, drama will ensue. Catch tonight's episode at 10pm on MTV.
