Reality on Bravo

As we approach the new year, it is fun to look back at all that has happened in the past 365 days. Bravo has had quite a year! In addition to seeing some great new shows, like Flipping Out and Shear Genius, we got to enjoy old favorites, like Top Chef and Queer Eye for the Straight Guy, as well. In no particular order, here are my top ten favorite Bravo moments of 2007.

1. The Top Chef Season 2 Finale, When Marcel Peed on Himself
Season 2 was a real blood bath! With Cliff getting kicked off the show and multiple people yelling at Marcel, there was never a dull episode. One of my favorite moments, however, HAS to be when Marcel pricked himself trying to reach for the uni, and he peed on himself to ward off infections. It’s either that or the time Marcel rapped to the camera. Gotta love that kid, even if he didn’t win!

2. Jo and Slade’s Break-up
This was one of the few Real Housewives moments when we were really allowed to see someone hurting. The tears were real. The situation was real? Jo and Slade’s break-up was…real? Jury’s still out on that one. Who knows if they ever got back together?

3. Michael’s “Carissa comment” on Top Design
Ah, it seems like Top Design was so very long ago….but it was just last spring! The best moment on that show, in my opinion, was Michael saying “It’s like trying to squeeze Carissa into a pair of pants” when they were having troubling fitting a plastic sheet in a drawer. hahaha!

4. Rebecca throwing water in Jesse’s face on Work Out
This season on Work Out was tough, as the cast was dealing with Doug’s death. I wouldn’t call that one of my favorite moments, though. What WAS one of my faves was when Rebecca got sick of putting up with Jess’s shit about her and Jackie’s relationship and threw water in his face. He deserved it.

5. Tyson’s Shear Genius “trance”
Tyson and Tabitha’s feud was by far the best part about Shear Genius. The thing that cracked me up the most? Tyson’s “trance” when he got inspired to create the GORGEOUS Elizabethan style. The end result was beautiful…but that guy was WEIRD.

6. The Top Chef Smackdown
There wasn’t one specific part about the reunion challenge show that I loved - the whole thing was great. I love that TC has these little specials every so often to remind us how much we love that show!

7. Gay Porn - God’s Work
This year, My Life on the D-List also had some heart-touching episodes, as Kathy’s father passed away. I’d like to highlight here another moment, however, that is classic - when Kathy hosted the Gay Porn awards, and one of the winners said that they were doing “God’s Work.” Really? God wants you to have lots of gay sex on camera? LOL!

8. Top Chef Season Three Restaurant Wars
Restaurant Wars was by far my favorite episode of season three. It was so exciting to watch the underdogs competing against the powerhouse team…and then NO ONE went home…and then the UNDERDOGS won the second time around. Sweeeeeet.

9. Sex Toy on Welcome to the Parker
Welcome to the Parker’s Success was short-lived…but who can forget the Sex Toys episode?

10. Elisa spitting on the fabric
We’re not too too far into Project Runway yet, but Elisa spitting on the fabric has to be one of the weirdest, funniest moments on the whole show. And Sweet Pea’s Reaction!?!? PRICELESS!
