"Chopping Block" on NBC @ 8:00pm
Tonight NBC is going to attempt to out-Gordon Ramsay FOX with Chef Marco Pierre White's new show, "Chopping Block". Our guess is that White will not have as foul a mouth as Ramsay but will have all his other TV-worthy qualities: intimidation, rage, and viciousness. May the most evil bastard chef win.Big surprise here, Monday's"Dancing with the Stars" took the ratings cake - we'd like to take credit for DWTS' record-breaking night because of our talking up the appearance of Steve Wozniak on the show, so we're waiting for our flowers and chocolates from ABC.
