Apropos the above.
The
Kardashians are possibly the signal on the hill that there are no
more hills to climb and we are, in fact, in the last trough of
civilisation. It's all downhill from here on in. Good-looking broads
with a fabulous fashion sense, I'll give them that, but are they
going to rock my world on this alone? I think not. I'll leave that to
Jo Nesbo, thank you very much.
So really, Khloe had to go. (How I wish the rest of the family would follow, but one out of dozens ain't....yeah, it is.)
But
talking of TV hosts. I've said it before and I'll say it again, no
one does it like Seacrest. He's funny, empathetic, cute and APPEARS
to not take himself too seriously (although I think he takes his hair
more seriously than I do mine, to begin with). He makes it all look
effortless and that's the X Factor which puts him on top of the heap.
When we're watching a reality show, we want to be relaxed; we want to
have as much fun as the host should be having.
But
I have to say, although I like Cat Deeley, I liked Steve Jones, too.
He's not the Ice Queen aka Padma Lakshmi, or the too-earnest Davina
McCall, or Carson Daly who has everyone watching his mouth and not the words coming out of it. Why they got rid of Steve who is also extremely easy on the eye is
beyond me.
Other
toppers, strangely all in the realm of food:
*Man
v Food host Adam Richman, for his mot justes and love of the bite
*Anthony
Bourdain for his cynicism and brave foray into culinary unknowns
*Nigella
Lawson for her deliberate play on the sensual aspects of cuisine
*Masterchef
dudes in Australia and US for their sense of theatre and
straightforward passion for the subject.
Of course, in India meanwhile, we have Twist of Taste with Vineet Bhatia.
