• An Open Letter to ‘SYTYCDance’

    I will be traveling “internationally” next week (OK, it’s just to Canada) and won’t be able to share my thoughts with you. You’re on your own for the “Flipping Out” premiere, but I’ll return just in time to dish about the long-awaited return of “Project Runway.”   Thank goodness I was still in town to…

  • Whoa, ‘Brother’: RIP, Ronnie

     It’s just about the halfway point for the current season of the superaddictive CBS reality series "Big Brother." Tonight also marks the debut of a new weekly TV MoJoe feature in which we’ll check in with "Brother" executive producer Allison Grodner about the latest evictee and all the goings on in the House From Hell.…

  • 2 More Dance Out of Our Lives

    It took me almost a full week, but I’m finally able to sleep through the night without terrifying images of last week’s “So You Think You Can Dance” zombie numbers flashing through my mind.

(Yes, he was the one who passed out on the floor in the first episode of “Daisy of…

  • A Pair of ‘Dance’ Losers — and Then There Was Katie Holmes

    Last night’s 100th episode of “So You Think You Can Dance” left me with a lot of unanswered questions. At the top of the list: Where can I get a sequined black and gold tiger dress like Cat Deeley’s? (Go RHS Golden Tigers!) Oh, and I had a few thoughts about the eliminations as well.…

  • Sorry’s the Hardest Word for ‘Big Brother’ Contestant

    What’s more awkward than “Dating in the Dark” or Paula drumming her fingertips in wait of a deal better than Seacrest’s?  (No, not “Dance Your Ass Off.” Pole dancing was last week.) How about conducting a professional interview with someone who called you a “ho” on national televison? This week’s Awkward Award (and believe me,…

  • ‘Big Brother 11’: Just Like HIgh School, Dude

    “BIG BROTHER 11” Face it. All reality shows, whether they are competition based or not, boil down to cliques. Let’s see, there’s the Blondetourage from “Rock of Love,” the alliances on “Survivor” and, of course, the assigned labels on (best show ever!) “High School Reunion”: the Nerd, the Outcast … the Wannabe Reality Star. “Big…

  • Reality Shows Drive Diverse Pool of Contestants to Deadly Fate

    A deputy district attorney, boxer and single dad take their lives after participating on popular reality programs.
