Rocco's Dinner Party (2011)

Grab a glass and have a seat for a recap, review, and analysis of “Rocco’s Dinner Party,” a 2011 reality competition on Bravo from the creators of Chopped. This show is all about challenging chefs to design, plan, and execute themed dinner parties for celebrity chef Rocco DiSpirito and his friends. I also give a lesson in sociology.

Jersey Shore S3 (2011)

We’re back in Seaside Heights for the third season of MTV’s “Jersey Shore,” this time with added relationship struggles. How did I like this season of Ronnie and Sammi fighting?

Wife, Mom, Bounty Hunter (2007)

Which is harder: chasing fugitives or raising a teenage daughter? This week I’m covering WeTV’s “Wife, Mom, Bounty Hunter,” a documentary-style reality tv show that follows Sandra Scott, who is a bounty hunter, a mom, and a wife. I discuss how the show displays the juxtaposition of Sandra’s home life and work life, how Sandra herself surprised me with her uncommon sense of justice, and what the show itself wants to say about this working woman.

Secrets and Wives (2015)

This episode is all about “The Real Housewives of Long Island.” Well, no, that’s not right. The show is actually called “Secrets and Wives,” a 1-season Bravo show that could have been a Housewives entry if it could just figure out how to maintain an interesting conflict that didn’t center around how frustrating the men in this show are.
