    Those count!

    The wife was a big Chopped fan, said we watched it for a while, and ate at Scott Connant's restaurants in New York and Las Vegas.

    Did Kitchen Nightmares. Used to do Top Chef and Master Chef until my wife's school and then work schedules made it impossible to watch together and keep up.

    Another Chopped fan, and Triple D as well.

    The better half watches some Housewives of Bev Hills and Orange County, and I find myself drawn to it in a can't look away, car wreck mentality.

    To say I am (or was) into Chopped wouldn't quite right. If it happens to be on -- I have friends who watch it religiously -- I enjoy it. But I've never actually thought, "Hmmm, I think I'd like to watch some Chopped."

    The original (British) Kitchen Nightmares, however, was my first Netflix binge-watch.

    Watch Bachelor with my wife but always get a bit sucked into it.

    Top Chef is the only food show I still watch. Chopped had faded for us and Guy Fieri's schtick wore on us so DDD has been dropped.

    At some point we've watched most of the housing porn shows as well but nothing that we PVR.

    I don't think anyone sets their alarm clock to watch Chopped. It's just that when you are flipping, and it is on (which is often), that is where you are inevitably going to stop.

    Yeah, that's about it.

    So ... a celebrity version of Chopped. Lena Dunham and who else?

    I'm actually the opposite, although my channel-flipping days are pretty much done since we got our Roku. But I made sure to watch Chopped when Drew Magary was on.

    They have done celebrity chopped. Michael Imperioli and Peter Scolari and Lou Diamond Philips and Coolio were on it, among others. In the sports version, I was surprised to see Charles Oakley.

    I don't picture Lena Dunham in the kitchen, except to maybe make peanut butter and pickle sandwiches -- and not because she is pregnant.

    Danica Patrick did well in one of the celebrity Chopped events.

    Other than the occasional late night TV clip during letterman or whatever, I have never seen Survior, Big Brother, any of the Bachelor, any of the singing shows, any of the dancing shows, any of the Kardashians, any of the duck dynasty, any of any of those "my life, televised" shows since The Real world, which I guess is still on but doesn't appear to resemble the early seasons.

    I do watch top chef, chopped, project runway, intervention, hoarders.

    The truly guilty pleasure was celebrity rehab and sober house. Sober house, in particular, was an embarrassing shitshow.

    Hoarders is one where you sit there with your jaw dropped open.

    Also a fan of American Pickers. Love to see all the old stuff they can dredge up on their picks.
