SFist Watches: Your Locals On Reality TV

nextironchefcast.jpgLet's start with "The Next Iron Chef." For the challenge ("Resourcefulness") the chefs were broken into teams by last week's winner Chris Cosentino, of local restaurant Incanto, and the teams then selected secret ingredients for their teammates. The challenge wasn't a team challenge, though, so there was much crying of "sabotage" when the chefs got to their outdoor, charcoal grill-equipped location and saw their ingredients.

Chris made a juniper-smoked breast of squab marinated with sherry vinegar for his first dish, and a dandelion green salad with red onions, blackberries, and black walnuts for his second dish. The judges didn't think he was resourceful enough with his preparation of the squab, and found his second dish was just standard restaurant fare. Despite that, he was not eliminated.

Over on "The Bachelor," local girl Sheena didn't get to go on a two-on-one or a one-on-one date, instead being relegated to the group date which required the girls to crawl on all fours and beg for the bachelor's love.

Seriously.

Sure, they said it was "improv"--and if you've ever seen improv done badly, you know what hell might be like--one part of which required the girls to pretend they were dogs and beg for a rose. Kristy ended up in tears, not because she had just humiliated herself for the sake of a man she hardly knows, but because she knew she hadn't been as good at it as the other girls. Hoo boy

At the pre-Rose Ceremony cocktail party, Brad reiterated to Sheena that his brother really liked her when they played that trick on her last week. And she reiterated to Brad that she was there for all the right reasons. And then she cried. But, once again Brad proved he has a thing for criers as he gave both Sheena and Kristy roses.

Next week, Sheena slips down some stairs!
