Seven Colorful Sins

'Map of Sin' via Kansas St U. research
(*and the WRATH map is red, ENVY = green, etc...)

Las Vegas Sun: "By culling statistics from nationwide databanks of things like STD infection rates (lust) or killings per capita (wrath), the researchers (KSU geography dept) came up with a sin index... a precision party trick — rigorous mapping of ridiculous data"

So, what's up with South Dakota, anyway?

Best Preem

'Variety' just reported the ratings for Top Chef 5.01:
''...on the cable side of the spectrum, Bravo's "Top Chef" franchise achieved a high for its fifth-season premiere, with Wednesday's bow of "Top Chef: New York" garnering what is by far the reality skein's best preem numbers to date.''
And really, who doesn't appreciate a good preem?

*
do Hollywoodites really talk like that? 'skein'? 'preem'?

JW Knows Squat


This ep proved that Jackie Warner may know how to do squats, but she doesn't give one about others.

First she shows up 1-1/2 hours late for a meeting. Notice her fresh beverage w/ice? That means she was -already- an hour late before she decided to stop off for a cool one. So not cool. Then its obvious that JW hasn't prepared a thing for her DVD yet, even tho that's what this meeting was about.

Later on she proves once more just how inconsiderate she is when she sorts her staff on-camera (for their DVD potential) and she then proceeds to show up unprepared -again-, this time for the actual DVD shoot itself. Turning it into an endless sweaty trainwreck. (Those four trainers get hazard $$ ?)

The exit scene is Jackie reading her girlfriend's private phone message, and then complaining that her gf doesn't respect their relationship! What a classy way to set up next week's finale... where I'm hoping her staff and her gf wise up and flee.

* Regardless of how I feel, ratings appear to be up: 'Work Out', a reality series, 927,000 viewers Tues night, up 19% from the prior week' (link)
Still way less than 'Top Chef's 3 mill.

Top Chef = 'Top Ratings'

The Top Chef ratings climb.

Reported after May 28th ep:
'Top Chef: Chicago' - leading the way as the second-most viewed cable program among adults 18 to 49.' (link, #1 was a crime drama)

'... up 20% this season, surging from 2.24 million to 2.69 million viewers.'
* This means Bravo's only food show beats the pants off of every show on 'Food Network'... 'Burn!'
