Breaking Pointe

description

Fear and loathing, friendship and love, jealousy and betrayal are reigning in the world of professional ballet. Those petite girls only seems to be tender and sweet, but deep inside their souls look more like alligators ready to eat each other in order to get a best role. However, even in this harsh world of pure competition is the place for glimpse of love. This is a story of dance-themed reality docu-drama Breaking Pointe, a new CW series featuring seven ballet stars in their everyday life and job. Christiana Bennett, is the probably oldest main character in Breaking Pointe, she is 32 and now she is at the top of her ballet career, but strong competition not allowing her to bask in the rays of glory. She is very aware of young and hungry ballerinas starving for her place. Beckanne Sisk is right that kind of young and hungry ballerina, she is extremely talented, and in her 19 she's made the brilliant dance career, most of twentysomething dancers only have to dream of. Beckanne has a friend Katie Martin, less talented by awesome girl who admires Beckanne, though in some weird way. Another character is Ronald Tilton, with whom Katie is dating. He is a dancer too, and it's hard to say what Katie and Ronald hold in the first place: ballet or relationships. Another dancing couple is Rex Tilton and Allison DeBona. It seems like Rex is totally in love with Allison, but it's clear that Allison prefers her ballet career instead of their relationships. Such a stratagem of relationships dramatically showcased in Breaking Pointe makes these TV show somewhat like The Hills, but more concerned about real problems of really talented, not only pretty, people.

Russian Dolls

2021
Reality & Talk Shows
If you like watching shows like the Jersey Shore and all those Housewives of"¦ somewhere, you just might fall in love with Russian Dolls. Full of hair extensions, sex, arguing, gold chains, partying, drinking (vodka of course), and plenty of techno style music, these Russian Dolls are not the type to sit on a collectors shelf. Brighton Beach is home to the largest Russian American gathering place in New York. This community has plenty to show off including young beautiful women such as Anastasia, a 26 year old who has long blonde hair (with help from some hair extensions), deep tan, toned body, and ample make up. Her future hopes include college graduation but she's not trying very hard. The Levitis', Marina and Michael are owners of a popular local nightclub and Michael has somehow become involved with corruption that involves a state Senator. But don't let the gold chains, sex, and non stop partying keep you from watching Russian Dolls. After all the show's producers were out and about drumming up cast members by posting signs advertising for the next "Situation" or "Snooki" characters to step up and audition for the show. Just like other shows with similar formats, Russian Dolls are not afraid to showcase their intimate lives and all the sordid details viewers could ever ask for. Not exactly the prostitution game as the name implies, but plenty of steamy sex and exhibitionism.

Around The World in 80 Plates

2011
Reality & Talk Shows
What happens if you hybridize The Amazing Race and Top Chef? There are two possible answers: "nothing good" and "Around The World in 80 Plates". And you know, both of them are true. But, please, don't get us wrong. It's not just another Bravo's disastrous TV show; it's just a cooking reality show, which is not about the cooking. How is it possible? With ease, here we have to lift the curtain off the series' plot. First of all, you have to imagine three clueless chefs walking down the streets of London, doing the classic "pub crawl" and pretending the "drunk Americans". It's pathetic scene, you know. But who are those unfortunate souls? Meet Keven Lee, or how he calls himself Cheven (mix of Chef and Kevin). He represents one of the endangered species of Hollywood private chefs. The next one is Chazz, his real name Chaz Brown from Voorhees, New Jersey, who is repeatedly semi-shocking us with his British accent, that's why it would be better if he kept silence all the show long. Our list would not be completed if we haven't mentioned the Tex-Mex half-naked chief Sai Pituk from Texas, who surprisingly said the she cooks Asian cuisine only. There are another nine contestants participating, that makes total twelve. The television show is divided into two parts. In the first part all of the participants are performing something like scavenger hunt in the uncommon environment of foreign culinary culture (you have to ideate the picture of dozen Americans wander the rows of Borough market; it's must be funny, isn't it?). In the second part of each episode the contestants have to cook (finally!) the local dishes which their tasted in the first part, and as a bisque, the winning team (those who won the "scavenger hunt") gets one secret ingredient, which will be in great help in the "cooking" part. That is most amusing part of the "Around The World in 80 Plates" because judges are the locals, and you should see their faces when they taste black pudding hash cooked by Americans.
