[Sca-cooks] OOP: Wickedly Perfect

[lilinah at earthlink.net]

Anyone watching the new "reality" show "Wickedly Perfect" (Thursday 8 
PM ET/PT, i don't recall the channel - either ABC or CBS)?

Starting with, uh, 12 people, i think, they form two teams and do 
parties, competing to please the judges, one of whom is, gulp, Bobbie 
Flay. Each of the people has a different speciality (such as event 
planning, cooking, floral arranging, clothing design, woodworking). 
They have two days, i think, to plan, design, and prepare the event - 
one guy is quite imaginative. The losing team has to give someone the 
boot.

Last night one team spent about 1500 dollars on food for a party for 
10 people! And a fairly standard meal format - hors 
d'oeuvre/appetizer, main course with meat and vegetables, and dessert.

Anyway, i'm not recommending it, per se, but i'll watch it again. As 
with most "reality shows", the taping is edited so we see many team 
members misbehaving. It's not better than any other reality show, but 
it reminds me of doing a feast, the rush down to the wire, the times 
when something doesn't go as planned, picky guests complaining about 
the food...
