Team Kevin! Team McKinley High!

Today is bittersweet... it's season finale night for two of my new faves for the fall/winter TV season. While I'll be sad to see these shows leave for a while it is necessary to make room for the important shows coming up in the new year (I think you know what I'm talking about). First is Glee, which has received ample press on the breezy blog. I'm not ashamed to admit that this completely unrealistic show full of "teenagers" breaking out into spontaneous songs has won me over. I love the characters, song selections, and haven't made it through an episode without LOL-ing at least once (I feel validated using teenage acronyms to describe a high school musical brand of show). If you haven't watched an episode yet tonight is your last chance until it returns in April after American Idol - a.k.a. the cult I always unsuccessfully try to avoid getting sucked into each year. To inspire you to watch tonight click here for a gallery of quotes from the best character (Sue Sylvester) and then enjoy one of my favorite songs from the season:


The second finale airing tonight is Top Chef. While this show has been on for several seasons this is the first one that I tuned in for. I'm not much of a cook so cooking shows aren't really on my radar. Competitions and reality TV however? All over the radar. I thoroughly enjoyed watching this season and if you'll remember it even inspired me to attempt making homemade guacamole. While that didn't turn out so well for me I've still loved the show and just realized to stick to my gift of eating food instead of making it.

Tonight I'm pulling for Kevin Gillespie of Atlanta to be named Top Chef. Not only does Kevin rock a fantastic beard, he also promotes slow food and simple cooking. After my second favorite contestant Jennifer was eliminated last week it's down to Kevin vs. the Voltaggio brothers tonight. While the Voltaggios may have one of the coolest last names ever, it's unfortunate that they don't possess the cool personalities to match it. That might be a little on the harsh side - but Michael just comes across as arrogant and I don't think his brother Bryan has cracked a smile all season. Here's a video of the final three chatting before the final challenge so you can make your own judgments on beards and personalities:


Happy viewing!
