Reality Ravings

Is there a romance blossoming on The Amazing Race between Starr and Dallas? It is not the first time there has been on the road flirtations, but nothing as never eventuated. As an aside are these the weirdest name for a couple yet?

They were off to Kazakhstan and what a way to showcase a country by going to a chicken factory. I don't think this will bring an increase in tourism to the country.

There was tension when the contestants were spread across three different flights, but since the chicken factory didn't open until 7.30am, everyone had plenty of time to catch up. The frat boys Dan and Andrew who had been the most unlucky with their flight just made it.

It was Roadblock and they had to search amongst the 30,000 chickens to find the one of six golden eggs.

There was also a fast forward which Nick and Starr and Sara and Terence decided to do. It involved eating sheep bum fat. Both challenges were pretty crappy.

Sara in the taxi to the fast forward said she was not sure they had made the right decision, but Terence thought this was what the race was all about to take risks to win. If they lose the fast forward there was definitely going to be fear and loathing on that team.

The golden egg challenge was easy. But Terence hit a brick wall at the sheep eating challenge as he was a vegetarian. He said he was not going to do it. Now really what did he expect they were going to get served at a restaurant? It is always some sort of stomach churning flesh.

If this is Kazakhstan cuisine no wonder it has not taken off in Sydney.

Sara gave the phrase "If looks could kill a new meaning". He did start eating it, but he was always going to fade.

Terence in the end bailed after seeing Nick and Starr had nearly finish. And a gold star to Starr who just gulped it down beating Nick easily. I know there are people on the race who don't like her but I do. She is the strongest player on this current series.

The detour was play like mad or act like fools.

The play like mad detour was to learn to play two traditional instruments then go to a park and busk until they had earned a certain amount of money. No one did this one.

Act like fools they must dress like a cow and walk through the town to find the milk store and drink a glass of milk.

The frat boys again having bad luck with a driver who did not know where he was going, so it looked like Sara and Terence would make it back into the race.

Nick and Starr made a hat trick of coming in first for the third time in a row.

Toni and Dallas went past the stall and Ken and Tina got there and drank the milk but missed the clue at the bottom of the cup. Then when they did realise they then went and returned the cow costume.

Seriously when are these teams going to learn to read their clues properly. Dan and Andrew have luckily stumbled through this whole series, but made another vital mistake when they took a cab to the pitstop, when it specifically said you had to get their by foot. Even after having to retrace their steps they managed to beat Terence and Sara to the pitstop.

Dan and Andrew should have been eliminated due to them being utter morons, however the other teams must be happy that such a strong team was eliminated tonight.

Here in an interview on Buddy TV Terence and Sarah reveal they were only seven minutes behind, as well as discussing the way they were edited on the show.

It always amazes me when the restaurant owners on The Chopping Block are shocked when their failing business is criticised by food critic Alan Saunders.

You wonder why do they think they have few customers?

Morri's Place in the Melbourne suburb of Armadale serves European comfort food is run by a older couple Morri the chef and Michelle his wife. They don't have as many food issues as Pizza Piazza.

The big issue is presentation at Morri's and with main's in the high 20's you do want it to look a bit better then homecooking. The menu is here.

Pizza Piazza a restaurant in Chapel St, Windsor was a mess. What did Fred the owner actually do? He did not cook, nor did he appear to help front of house. The whole of the menu came out of the freezer. Matt Moran thought the taglitelle seafood pasta "tasted like piss."

The big thing they had going for them were gluten free pizza's. This should be a big draw card. But the critic at first thought it was too soggy. However Matt Moran sorted that out, by advising that it be finished on the stone in the oven. This did mean that they could only serve gluten free pizza's.

Sun the chef there did try, and knew how to cook once he got some decent ingredients, but it was not going to be enough to win the $20,000. Morri took it out, and he seemed more pleased with the win rather then the cash.

what does Fred actually do at his restaurant?

Wes Carr has hit the charts with his new single 'You' in the number 3 position. This is a much better start to his post Idol career then last year's winner Natalie Gauci.

Wes has sold nearly 1000 more downloads then the Gauch, but he had the advantage of a tailor written song, rather then the one song must fit all contestants approach of previous years.

Full story on Daily Telegraph.

Also here is an interview with Wes from Who Magazine.

Update: Livenews reckons may not be that great compared to the sale of Guy Sebastian who sold over 120,000 of Angels Brought Me Here.

Famous reality TV chef Gordon Ramsay must wish he had kept his apparently large appendage in his pants after mistress Sarah Symonds sold her story to english tabloid News Of The World.

After denying last week that he did have a dalliance, it has been revealed that Sarah was not his only indiscretion. The Daily Telegraph were in lather when they found a local angle that there is possibly a Sydney women involved. They hopefully put in today's paper the phone number for her to contact the paper to reveal all. If this girl wants to reveal her night with Gordon she will be selling her story.

Unlucky for the Hell's Kitchen chef the country of his birth is very wowserish about infidelity, however if he was French this puritanical frenzy would not be occurring.

The then French President when asked to comment on former John Major's British Cabinet, who at the time were resigning in droves due to sexual indiscretions said "I would be surprised if a Minister of mine did NOT have a mistress."
