Ink Master

[Hype]

Yes, on a TV screen, but streaming rather than traditional TV. I'm using a 46" Samsung as my everyday PC monitor right now. (Granted, I'd like to have my main computer be in an office, but this is really surprisingly easy to get used to... wireless keyboard and mouse on the couch... I usually use a second monitor, which helps.)

I guess old people still watch old TV shows. I don't know anyone who still watches Survivor/American Idol (early 2000s reality TV). Even my parents are using Netflix now, and my dad's considering getting rid of the satellite dish.

As long as people watch it, they'll keep churning them out. No matter how dumb the shows become.


My friend works for Viacom. I used to bitch at her for all the stupid "reality" TV they churn out. She always said, if it makes a ton of money in advertising they'll keep creating them, no matter how stupid they are.

at least best ink hasn't become a blatant 60min commercial a'la top chef. yet.

"so we hopped in our toyota Avalon to go to whole foods to pick up some shit to come back and cook it on our GE equipped kitchen and then we stayed at the westin! oh yeah ziplok too. we used ziploks."

That's precisely why i watch Chopped instead.

I cant get into chopped. second rate chefs and stupid mystery ingredient boxes.

Bingo. Ramsay's doing that shit now too. Hell's Kitchen does it exactly the same way. Kitchen Nightmares was an incredibly interesting show in its original British format... now it's a combination of fear and self-loathing that make it the televisual equivalent of tranquilizers.

Right. Top Chef has legit contestants. Best of any show.

I like the mystery ingredients. I don't care if a chef can make a perfect anything. I am interested in how the hell they are going to make a dinner out of a box of raisins and some canned corn.

I enjoy Chopped from time to time. I like most cooking shows (except the Ramsay ones). Top Chef is preferable to me just because the quality of talent and overall show production.

I once saw Anthony Bourdain speak and he had quite a bit to say about how legit the show and it's contestants were. I thought it was pretty cool to hear someone I respect reinforce my opinion.

some of the challenges are a little silly and some of the editing is annoying (like when the time is running out and they make it look like all of them finish with seconds left) but the tattoo portion and judging is really interesting. i will be watching.

The challenges are the funnest part of the show..

[Artemis]

I hope Oliver loses that dang toothpick! That's the most annoying part of the show for me.

[clickie]

Hopefully tatu baby is ready.

[JOEinPHX]

I'm ready for Tatu Baby

[clickie]

Ya know it..

[wally]

anybody watch the new one last night. I like the new format.

[Juana]

He won't he has it all the time even when at his shop in Dallas, pretty much only takes it out to eat. Its a nervous habit for him especially when working or in public.

They always make it different somehow. I dig it.

[clickie]

That lady last week really pissed me off making such a fuss. You volunteered to be on a show where you get tattooed in the first place. He couldve sucked it up but i'm not sure if she was ever gonna be satisfied.

[Artemis]

I also think Tatu baby should have got the boot for not finishing her piece in time.

[clickie]

Yeah youre kinda right but theres no rules on that show. Tatu baby was smart showin off her talent even if she couldnt finish.

[creep]

maybe but i think there were far worse tattoos that show. dave hinted that she might be leaving sooner than you think. so far the only guy there that i think is talented is the black dave navarro.

[clickie]

lol creep and his black dave navarro..totatally looks like him.

i can't take credit for it. dave calls him that.

[clickie]

I missed that. I thought it was kinda rude for you to say.

[creep]

what the fuck...my pick for the winner went home. his tattoo was ugly though and the guy can't do black shading at all.

josh and tatu baby had horrible tattoos too.
