Yes, it's true. I didn't take any advice. I didn't try any new reality TV show this month. I felt left behind by not having watched from the beginning. But I do pledge to you Amazing Race fans that I will be giving it a fair try when its next season starts.

But, never fear, come January I will once again have two reality TV shows to cover. American Idol (but of course) and also a new one from Bravo, the very thought of which is making me feel all tingly and alive...Top Design. Here's the description:

Bravo's newest reality competition series “Top Design” offers a behind the scenes look at the creative, competitive and client-driven interior design business at the highest level.

The series features twelve aspiring interior designers who are united in their quest to create the “Top Design” in each episode in the series as they vie for cash to start their own design firm and a spot in one of New York's finest designer showcases.

Who's with me?
