What happened to Tuesdays?

During most of the year, Tuesday is by far my favorite day of television. However, what happened to the line up? I watched one show last night, and to fill the time my husband and I watched some DVR material and the Brewers/Cubs game. I used to have to make choices between 90210, Glee (I think this moved to Thursday now based on previews), Biggest Loser, American Idol, Last Man Standing, and others I am sure I am forgetting. Last night, all I had to watch was Masterchef, and it was only an hour show since only five were left. At least some my favorites are still on the show.

In order to watch tv the only way that I love, with fast forwarding, my husband and I watched an episode of Feherty. For those of you who are asking yourselves "What is Feherty?" it's basically the man version of a talk show. Feherty used to be a professional golfer, and he interviews people. From what I have seen so far mostly golfers, but in a review of past episodes I saw that he interviewed Charles Barkley and Don Cheadle (sp?). He is from Ireland, has a thick accent, and his interviews are really entertaining. The last two episodes we watched were with Bubba Watson (Before his Masters win) and Graeme McDonald. My husband started recording the show because I think he felt my smut/garbage tv was filling up our DVR. Little did he know I too would enjoy watching. If you haven't watched it, you should. It makes me feel better that I struggle severely with golf when I hear pros talk about having days when they too struggle. Also, Feherty is a really funny guy who does some crazy stuff. I'm including a picture from the time he interviewed John Daly and had a golf ball teed up and hit from his mouth. You couldn't pay me enough money to do that!

Afterwards, Masterchef it was. SPOILER ALERT...I am so sad Monty is gone. Although I question anyone who names their son Danger, I loved her! I am sad that she got sent home over something as simple as adding heavy cream and cutting a fish wrong. In my opinion, I thought Josh should have been sent packing...again. It is clear that Gordon Ramsey is in love with Josh. I like him too. In fact, I think the best chefs are left in the competition, but I thought he made the weaker dish. He too cut the fish poorly, had 5 instead of 4 servings, added food to his plate, and he had the advantage to choose the dish. Seems to me they made the wrong choice. My favorite chef left is Frank. I am incredibly impressed with Christine and what she can do, but I think Frank is the best all-around chef. Becky also seems to be skilled but she seems a bit full of herself and I don't particularly care for that. Is it just me or does she look like Silver from 90210? Check out their pics and tell me you don't agree...

I mean come on....they are identical twins.
P.S. Who cares that celebrities ate those dishes? Do Oprah, Obama, or Jay-Z have magical taste buds? Pretty sure they don't. I would have been more impressed if say Emeril, Wolfgang, or Morimoto came in and said that was the best dish they ever had. They would know.

Now that Monty is gone, I am pretty convinced it's Christine's competition to lose. They love her and her story and she seems to be a great cook. We'll see.

Fingers crossed that my Tuesdays fill back up because last night was just plain disappointing.
