Food Network’s usually strong competition Food Network Star is getting a makeover, which will hopefully help to pull it out of its increasingly familiar rut when it returns for an eighth season this summer. Judges Bobby Flay and Giada De Laurentiis will no longer judge, but instead will be joined by Alton Brown as mentors for teams of contestants that they choose. Thankfully, Bob Tuschman and Susie Fogelson will remain as judges, with guest judges joining them each week. But viewers will ultimately select the winner, Variety reports . The series, which dropped the word “Next” from its title last season, is also moving back to New York City from Los Angeles. View the original article here

About 11 years in to the modern era of reality TV, there are a lot of reality shows on the air. There are also many, many more shows being developed at networks and production companies. And there are a lot of series that are no more than an idea in search of actualization and attention—attention the media gladly gives them, while making a much bigger deal out of something than they should. Yesterday, TMZ reported that “Ted ‘Golden Voice’ Williams has inked a deal to star in his very own reality show — and he will begin shooting in two weeks;” Second Chances at Life “will document how Mr. ‘Golden Voice’ went from a promising radio career to living on the streets … to becoming a YouTube sensation. The series will also follow Ted’s life as he battles to rebuild his career and personal life.” Now there are a ton of stories whose headlines and bodies say he has a reality show . He does not—at least not yet, even if he’s signed a contract. There are a number of important details that are...

The seventh season of Next Food Network Star is currently in production, and a report says that Courteney Cox has appeared as a guest judge, which was made possible by the fact that the studio the show uses is on the same lot as Cougar Town’s. Page Six reports on her appearance, quoting a source who said, “The show is filmed on the same lot as ‘Cougar Town,’ so it was easy for her to come over and appear as a guest judge.” The ABC single-camera comedy films at Culver Studios in Culver City, Calif. There are no details on the kind of challenge she judged or how far along the competition or production currently is. View the original article here

Chopped ended its five-episode all-star season last night, and although the winner received $50,000 for charity, the losers all got nothing—a really disappointing coda to a strong season. (Update: the network is giving an additional $50,000 to charity of the chef who gets the most votes in an online poll. More below.) The series has done nothing but improve since its so-so debut two years ago . This season worked not just because it featured familiar chefs—including the show’s own judges—but because that ramped up the level of intensity, and producers stuck with the winning formula of giving a mix of weird and challenging ingredients to the chefs. Next Iron Chef cast member Nate Appleman won the show, beating runner-up and series judge Aaron Sanchez, whose dry chocolate cake did him in. Next Food Network Star and cast member Michael Proietti went home first, followed by Worst Chefs in America host Anne Burrell. The show constantly emphasized the importance of charity to the chefs,...

American Idol lost 18 percent of its young viewers compared to last year’s debut, the first measurement about how viewers feel about the show now that Simon Cowell is gone and Jennifer Lopez and Steven Tyler are judges. However, the Fox series was more popular than shows on all the other four broadcast networks—combined—and had more young viewers than ABC, NBC, CBS, and The CW combined, and also more viewers overall, except when it faced both Modern Family and Criminal Minds. The show “premiered down 18% among adults 18-49” and had an average of 26.1 million average viewers, which “was down 13% from last year’s premiere 29.945 million,” which is “more than the 10-15% seasonal ratings decline that has been typical in recent seasons,” according to TV By the Numbers. Entertainment Weekly notes that this is “the lowest-rated premiere for Idol since its 2002 summer debut, and the biggest drop ever for the show between seasons.” Also, tonight, it “will face steeper competition” than it did ...

ABC has announced a new Mark Burnett-produced competition series that will air next summer, and it sounds like a combination of The Amazing Race, Survivor, and The Mole, and thus sounds awesome. It’s also great to see a network embrace a non-studio series, and The Bachelor vacations don’t count. On Expedition Impossible , “teams of three will solve problems while racing across deserts, over mountains and through rivers,” according to ABC, which calls this “the next evolution in high adventure and human drama.” There’s no information about the prize, just that the race will involve 10 legs, and be filmed in April. The series is now casting “dynamic, competitive, and energetic teams.” The series is also executive produced by Lisa Hennessy, who has executive produced Great American Road Trip , The Contender, Pirate Master , and Rock Star . Update: As a commenter pointed out, this show sounds nearly identical to Treasure Hunters , the 2006 NBC series produced by Magical Elves that follow...
