Nothing like appealing to what I like because this week the Food Network’s Spring Baking Championship contestants are making my fave — cupcakes. In Round One, the contestants have 90 minutes to put together a cupcake flower arrangement with floral essences. I’m drooling. We’re only the second week in and some front-runners are already starting […] More
On NBC’s The Voice it’s the second night of the head-to-head battles and up first is Team Kelly’s Amber Sauer against Jorge Eduardo. Kelly is sweating! Again, she’s so damn cute in this show.

It’s finally here — it’s battle time on NBC’s The Voice! Joining the coaches for contestant training is Shawn Mendes, Julia Michaels, Hailee Steinfeld, and Trace Adkins.

Starting off this week’s episode of American Idol, it wasn’t hard to get excited when the festivities started on the car ride to the studio.

This is it! It’s the final blind auditions on NBC’s The Voice — Team Adam needs 2 more artists, while Team Alicia, Team Kelly and Team Blake only need one more member.

Food Network’s Spring Baking Championship has been my obsession since its debut in 2015. Whether it’s kids or adults competing for the grand prize, I’m glued. I love baking shows, but what is a baking show doing on a sports page? Like any reality competition, there are odds-on favorites and the Spring Baking Championship is […] More
American Idol is in the second day of auditions and what I like so far is that the judges are not filled with drama (ala Nicki Minaj and Mariah Carey) and they aren’t mean (ala Simon Cowell). I think it’s a good start to the show. I still wish Harry Connick Jr. had come back, […] More
It’s the last week of the blind auditions on NBC’s The Voice and let’s see where our teams are at: Team Kelly, our newest judge only needs three more singers to round out her team. Team Alicia and Team Blake also need three more singers, while Adam still needs six. Does Kelly use her final […] More
