Cooking shows are hot on television now days, creating serious competition among the celebrity cooks as well as prospective winners in various formats on TV. MasterChef features the likes of Gordon Ramsay (Hell's Kitchen, Kitchen Nightmares) along side Joe Bastianich (restaurateur/vineyard owner), and Graham Elliot (chef/restaurant owner) as judges who oversee the contestants who come from a wide assortment of occupations including housewives, doctors, lawyers, private chefs, realtors, and travel writers. From what appears to be a huge crowd in the initial tryouts they whittle the prospects down to 100, then down to 38 or so and put them all to the test. With each contestant offering their "signature" dish to the judges, the competition begins and so does elimination, one by one. It is amazingly difficult to please all three judges as they are diverse in their likes and taste preferences, and the pressure is on to perform and show they have a talent for cooking. The coveted crown of MasterChef will be given to whomever can best please the judges and keep their head about them in the heat of the kitchen.

The Biggest Loser TV show is the reality contest series in which couples of overweight people have to overcome various obstacles on the way to reducing its weight and gain good physical shape. Typically, these obstacles are not physical in nature, but psychological only. Laziness and lack of willpower, lack of confidence in themselves, the desire to cheat are the main barriers to a healthy lifestyle for anyone. But at NBC's The Biggest Loser TV show is something else that makes contestants going to do anything to achieve the goal - it's Prize. The couple who reach the best results for weight loss wins the Prize. And perhaps nothing motivates so well as $ 250,000 prize for the fact that you yourself will improve your health. As it as a problem of overweight is spreading around the world - just the same way grows audience of The Biggest Loser. TV show began in 2004 in the U.S. and already has his many fans in 26 countries, where it appears on television screens under different names, but with the same idea: Your goal is to lose weight - becoming healthy and wealthy. And a big cash prize stimulates contestants equally well the in the U.S. as anywhere in the world from South Africa to Ukraine.

Long before the advent of The Glass House on TV screens CBS has warned ABC not to air this reality show, which was too similar to Big Brother, in their point of view. Notwithstanding this fact, ABC has released The Glass House on primetime and CBS filed the long-promised lawsuit against them. Fortunately, while the monsters of big TV are fighting, we have a chance to compare these TV shows and make our own mind on whether they are similar or not. At the first glance they are: same cameras-wired houses, same teams of contestants performing very stupid and not so much tasks, sometimes squabbling, wrangling bullying and sparring with each other to the audience sweetest delight. However, when you take a closer look on this so-called Big Brother rip-off you will probably notice some differences. First of all, all the contestants going to be eliminated from the show go to Limbo, where they wait for America's decision whether they will stay or abandon the game. The second difference is more significant and literally determinative: almost all the things contestants do in the show is determines by voting of the audience. To underline this, all means all: audience decides what the participants have to eat and wear today, what they have to do and how they should act to win the viewers' gratitude. The third difference is, there are no players deciding whether to eliminate somebody or no, everything depends of audience decision. It's a weird thing but the absence of need to eliminate your "fiends" does not have any positive impact on contestants' virtues. We see the same "douchbaggery" and painful "obnoxiousty" of the people are blooming, and maybe this is the most principal similarity between The Glass House and Big Brother. Evidently the CBS lawyers could use this fact to file their suit.

Each of the wives of these basketball pros have something in common"¦ they have husbands who are high in stature as well as high profile in their lives. Being a celebrity wife is not all that easy as these "wives" can show us. Jealousy in the midst of "reality" television is common and we have seen it ever since the first episodes of Survivor. But these ladies seem to take it to another level with their backbiting and competition involving lifestyles most of us only dream about. Jennifer (Williams) defends her right to put on a new face for the latest season's shows and makes a vow to rise above all of that drama we see on the show. Shaunie (O'Neal) has a rather dramatic turn of events surrounding her latest birthday bash. Meanwhile, Evelyn (Lozada) has her own blog and tries to explain why laughing at Kenya Bell's boring speech is absolutely rude! Suzie (Ketcham) discusses food stamps and comments on her dramatic turn of events with Jennifer (Williams), blaming her attitude on alcohol (not that any of these fine ladies hit the bottle)! Lets hope they keep all this drama in the proper perspective, and the show keeps on fascinating many of us viewers!
