Back to original question - anyone related to reality TV. Generally untalented wastes of space who end up with delusions of grandeur (thanks to media/public adoration).

Also, apparently homophobic despite being an obvious screaming mincer (hey, I can say it).

And that reminds me, Ina Garten's "husband" - what's that about??

Oh and everyone on City 7 (sorry if any of you are on here but you know I'm right).
His name is Guy something or other. I quite like watching his shows lol!

Does anyone watch City 7? It's so bad that it makes Dubai One look as if it has a vague idea what it's doing.
Oh dear, I like Bobby Flay aswell! Looks like I am doomed! Hate that (and I hate myself for referrencing him as this) asian dude that is travelling his homeland to rediscover his food roots or whatever. He really pisses me off aswell.

Bobby Flay is a well-respected chef - has a Michelin star restaurant if I'm not mistaken. He has also elevated grilling to a fine art. I'm not dead keen on his TV shows though - that whole Food Network thing tends to drag everything down to a lowest common denominator.

The Asian dude I think you mean is Bobby Chinn - half Chinese/half Egyptian (did you see his show when he was in Egypt? - hilarious, they did not know what to make of him), educated in England.. I like him but I can get why many people find him irritating. I had a great evening in his restaurant in Hanoi - genuinely inventive food and stimulating environment and not that expensive (on an international scale - eye-watering for Hanoi...).
