What do you do after watching the Super Bowl? Last night, those who didn’t feel like getting of their couches or bothering to even pick up tjeir remote all have the same answer – watch “Undercover Boss”.

Undercover Boss is CBS newest reality show. Each episode features a CEO of a big company go “undercover” by changing names and donning the uniform of regular Joes. The CEO then works alongside his own employees while cameras roll to “document the plight of laid off people looking for an entry level job”.

Undercover Boss’ first episode showed Waste Management, Inc. President and COO Larry O’Donnell sorting trash and being chided for being too slow at it. It also showed workers hurrying to meet productivity and punch in on time.

I did not get to watch last night’s episode but the reviews has definitely peaked my interest, not because they are all good but because of the scathing reviews. The show, according to Hank Stuever of Washington Post, is “an unbelievably juicy PR opportunity for the companies that agreed to do the project and a manipulative bummer for the unwitting employees who have the misfortune of appearing on it.” A sentiment that many seem to echo. However, others who have watched still seemed entertained. And of course, there’s still this optimistic side of me who wishes that the impact to CEOs will be real and will really trickle down.

Real or PR. Good or bad. One thing’s for sure: people are intrigued. In fact, Undercover Boss is currently the 24th most popular search term in the last hour according to Google!!! I’m sure that makes CBS happy.

As viewers of “The Bachelor” we are no strangers to drama; in fact, we’ve come to expect to see some each episode – the more drama, the better. The last episode was no exception but this time I have to say that the twist was pretty unexpected.

Rozlyn Papa was asked to leave by host, Chris Harrison, for having an “inappropriate relationship” with one of the Bachelor’s staffers. Jake Pavelka was crushed to when Chris informed he of the turn of events saying, ““I don’t know what to say … I’m hurt I’m disappointed. I felt like I’ve been taken for the fool. I didn’t see this coming.” Apparently Jake fully expects all the girls to act inappropriately only with him (Here’s to throwing your nice bikini-clad bodies at Jake!). The rest of the girls were of course just as shocked though there’s no doubt that there’ll be some relief for having one less competitor. As for the other party (a producer) he was sacked.

In an interview with Entertainment Tonight Rozlyn Papa the whole thing was exaggerated by the show. She denies having had any sex with the producer and says that they were only friends. She also says that the whole issue concerns her because of its effect on her 7-year old son. Papa said, “I don’t know what to say … I’m hurt I’m disappointed. I felt like I’ve been taken for the fool. I didn’t see this coming.”

According to Chris Harrison they have proof of “inappropriate” behavior. What that specific inappropriate behavior is though, they still haven’t divulged.

Reality show and real-time interaction is what Simon Fuller has in mind with the new show he’s developing for the internet. The show, called “If I Can Dream”, is a reality show focusing on the lives of five people – 2 actresses, an actor, a musician and a model – who want to make it in Hollywood. The show will be streamed live 24/7 at IfICanDream.com. Hulu will also show weekly highlights that are 30 minutes long.

What makes the reality show different is that as the group of artists rehearse and live their daily lives viewers can give their feedback real-time. According to the announcement, “Innovative camera and sensor technology will allow a global audience to interact with the aspiring performers through text, blogs, MySpace, Twitter and Facebook as the action unfolds in real-time — something that has never been attempted on a global scale before.”

Simon Fuller is of course excited about the whole deal and thinks that it is “is the dawning of a new age.”

Major sponsors for “If I can Dream” include Ford Motors and Pepsi. Other partners include MySpace, which will be the the exclusive social-networking platform where fans can upload videos to audition for a spot in the series, and Clear Channel Radio.

This is one of the few times when I felt really happy that the last Amazing Race leg was a non-elimination one. It’s not that I have a problem with playing dirty when it comes to Amazing Race, because we’ve seen that time and again, but because the brothers Sam and Dan are really irritating as well. Now I’m not saying that dirty tactics are 100% ok with me but I have come to expect at least several teams to end up stooping to questionable tactics, especially as the teams get fewer and fewer.

This week the four teams flew to Prague in the Czech Republic where they had to go to the Old Town district to find a Praga (a vintage car). Everyone went there via taxi except for Brian and Ericka who rode the bus and got stuck in traffic. They then headed to Kayaky Troja where they had to choose between “Fast and Furious” (kayak through a white water rafting course) and “Hangman” (pull themselves through a rope course above the rapids) where Sam and Dan had a hard time (haha!)kayaking ending up switching tasks. In the end Brian and Ericka caught up with them at the ropes but Brian had to wait for Ericka to get across. Sam and Dan ended up stealing Brian and Ericka’s taxi by negotiating a bigger fare. Roadblock was frustrating for Meghan and Cheyne because it involved looking for a mini-mandolin seat by seat in a theatre, which Cheyne obviously had a hard time finding. Even then they got to Prague Castle first winning themselves a trip to Lanai, Hawaii. Sam and Dan found the mini-mandolin quickly getting to the pit stop in second place. Obviously Meghan and Cheyne came in fourth but was really relieved to find out that it was a non-elimination leg.

Hopefully in the next leg it will be the irritating brothers who’ll end up last…

The last Top Chef episode just won the best “Halloween Top Chef Episode Title” in my book for sounding unpalatable, gross, and just plain wrong. Last episode was called “Meat Natalie” and while witty and apt being an episode where the contestants got to meet NataliePortman, who happened to be vegan, I don’t think anyone will disagree with me in feeling all eeewy about the title.

Anyway before I get stuck on a completely senseless discussion on episode title choices, here a very short recap of what went down during the “Meat Natalie” episode.

The contestants were asked to do their gourmet interpretations of TV dinners. They also had to make sure that their gourmet TV dinners were inspired by classic TV shows assigned to them. Kevin, who picked “The Sopranos” and did his version of meatballs, was declared the winner. His prize: His dish will be sold by Schwan’s frozen food line. Unless he gets royalties (and he should!), I would throw a tantrum if I were him.

For the elimination challenge the chefs got to take over Tom Colicchio’s restaurant in Vegas to cook for food lover, vegetarian Natalie Portman. Kevin won the challenge (again) and this time got a much much better prize – a whole slew of appliances from GE. Kevin said “Ok” and seemed not to care for his prize that much, so I guess he liked his frozen dinner prize better. Weird!

As for the bottom three, Robin, Jennifer and Michael I all deserved to be there but like most everyone else, I am miffed that Robin wasn’t the one to go home. So there, expect to see Robin (who hasn’t stuffed a squash blossom her whole life) to still be in the next episode to underwhelm us all.

Nineteen year-old contemporary dancer Billy Bell from West Palm Beach, Florida is out of the running in this season’s “So You Think You Can Dance”. It’s not because he sucks because we all thought he could dance really well. In fact even the judges think he can really dance so much so that they ended up crying upon watching his solo in Vegas. However, the doctors have declared that he CAN’T dance just yet. According to a statement (allegedly from the Bell family) posted on SYTYCDISM, Billy Bell is ill and, though “feeling better”, still needs to take time to recuperate. In fact Billy will not be able to go back to SYTYCD this season nor could he go back to train at Juilliard. His condition, the specifics of which the family hasn’t disclosed yet, is so serious that “his doctors told the show that if he continued to dance on the show before he recovered, he could possibly die.”

According to executive producer/judge Nigel Lythgoe, “We are disappointed that Billy cannot continue dancing in the competition on the advice of his doctor and wish him a speedy recovery. However, we are fortunate that Brandon Dumlao has agreed to return.” Brandon Dumlao is a 21-year-old hip hop dancer from Concord, California. In the meantime Billy’s family hopes that they will allow Billy to go back to the show even if he has to “re-audition for Season 7”.

Looks like Jon’s got what was coming to him. TLC has announced that “Jon & Kate Plus 8” will be changing its name to “Kate Plus 8” starting November 2 leaving Jon out in the cold – a clear win for Kate.

TLC’s decision to boot out Jon (although they don’t call it that) is pretty logical not to mention a popular move since he’s been factoring less and less in the kids’ life. According to TLC “Kate Plus 8” is appropriate because it reflects the new “family dynamics” with Kate handling life as a single mom. As TLC President Eileen O’Neill said, “Given the recent changes in the family dynamics, it only makes sense for us to refresh and recalibrate the program to keep pace with the family. The family has evolved and we are attempting to evolve with it; we feel that Kate’s journey really resonates with our viewers.” Or maybe even they are getting tired of Jon’s bachelor antics.

In the meantime, Jon is trying to salvage things by putting the brakes on their divorce proceedings. According to Jon he wants to “restore our [his and Kate’s] relationship as cooperative parents and to open up our lines of communication. I hope that she will be as receptive and enthusiastic as I am to do what is best for our family . . . I would like to get back with Kate as a partner in parenting.” As if Kate is the one who hasn’t been trying to do what’s best for the kids!

As for the show we’ll see how better off things will be without Jon G.

Top Chef is at the point when the heat is starting to get a bit too much leaving the “unlikables” extremely disliked by their peers/competitors. This year most competitors are not really that likable but they at least all have the same thing in common – they think Robin should go home. Granted that Robin has been irritating (to say the least), especially after last night’s show of lack of drive, I still think it’s more of a case of pointing fingers and/or snooty attitudes. Still I also think that had she not won the Quickfire challenge she might have been the one sent home.

Last night started off already drama-filled with some contestants donning red neckerchiefs in support of Mattin, who was sent home instead of Robin. Robin proved them wrong in the no-talent division by winning the Quickfire challenge and getting immunity with her “angel and devil” personality dish – arugula salad-cardamom apple ginger crisp combo. Everyone seems to think that her cancer story won her some points but hello I didn’t taste it but it sure looked good enough to win.

For the elimination challenge the contestants were asked to deconstruct some classic dishes. The big winner was Kevin who redeemed himself with his chicken mole. Something he wanted to do after his miserable duck mole. The bottom three included Ash (Shepherd’s pie), Laurine (fish and chips), and Ron (paella). Lucky for Robin she had immunity because for sure she would have been on the bottom three with her “repulsive” clam chowder. Ron went home for his paella for having poorly cooked rice and not being able to deconstruct the dish properly.

One thing’s for sure Kevin Skinner does not go for plain boring jobs. Before winning America’s Got Talent and so turning professional singer with his own show in Vegas, Skinner was a chicken catcher. Like many people I never even knew such a job existed.

So how does a chicken catcher turn into a singing sensation? The answer is simple Kevin Singer’s got one heck of a talent and he was so nice and sweet everyone just fell in love with him. So now aside from his own show in Vegas he’s also a million bucks richer thanks to the America’s Got Talent pot prize. With his money and his own show the simple man who used to “sit on the porch and count the stars” is now counted as one of America’s singing stars.

Aside from the new America’s Got Talent champ other singing sensations also performed at the show’s finale not least of which is Britain’s darling Susan Boyle. She sang Rolling Stones’ ”Wild Horses” and, not surprisingly, brought the house down with her rendition. Other performers present included Shakira, Leona Lewis, Rascal Flatts and the cast of Cirque du Soleil’s latest production, Banana Shpeel.

As for the other contestants this season we can only wish them the best. They might not have their own show but Kevin Skinner, being the nice guy he is, might have them over as guests for his show if they ask nicely, just like the homeless guy he gave a shirt and some money to.

America’s Next Top Model Season 13 contestants won’t be topping all the other supermodels, at least in terms of height.

We have seen the plus size models in ANTM but “shorter” girls are still a very rare sight in the modelling business. This season we can expect to see more petite models with the ANTM’s contestants all being 5’7” and under. Everything else about the show stays the same – Tyra, the judges, the various challenges, and undoubtedly the drama. The only thing that’s really novel is the contestant’s height.

This is really exciting for the model-wannabes who never thought they’d get the chance to be supermodels simply because of their height. As Brittany Markert, one of this season’s contestants said, “Hopefully, this will impact the fashion industry. I’ve always wondered where this stigma that women 5-9 and above are more godlike than shorter women came from.” In a way I also think this season might be something “real people”will be able to relate more to, at least in terms of fashion, since models will be closer to ordinary girls’ heights, making what they wear more wearable for mere mortals. So despite the seemingly small tweak in the show’s rules , the repercussions are pretty big, at least for petite girls worldwide. What we have yet to see though if this trend will catch or if it will die down when this season ends.

ANTM Season 13 will premier tonight 8PM at CW.
