It occurred to me while watching the adorable CW show Privileged last night that the main character Megan has a pretty sweet gig. She's a tutor living in the lap of luxury in sunny Palm Beach who is in charge of ultimately getting two rich girls into college. I'm not sure I'd love to be a tutor to heiresses, but lately she's spending less time teaching and more time hanging out with cute guys .

I got a kick this week out of a piece Slate did on the doomed reality show contestants who have been voted or kicked off in the first episode, complete with tips on how to avoid their fate. At first I struggled to remember a single first contestant, but then this piece reminded me of Jerry and Nimma from Bravo's Project Runway and Top Chef.
If you are planning on competing on one of these reality shows, these are some pretty good tips for sticking around for more than one episode.

It wasn't till I was reading YumSugar this morning that I realized I'd completely forgotten to watch the Top Chef reunion special! Luckily, she had a great rundown of all the action. Still, I'm a little surprised that the reunion didn't stand out more in my mental TV schedule, since I usually love watching reality contestants come back and dish on what happened behind the scenes while the show was filming.
