Last time – the girls tried to cure Flav’s “broken” heart.
During this episode, the ladies must split into two teams and their challenge is to create a restaurant, from décor, to name, to food that represents Flav. Grayvee had best make this freaking fried chicken that she went on about in Episode 1.
Each restaurant must have a manager. I don’t know which team is A or B, all I know is that Rayna’s managing one and Grayvee’s managing the other.
While everyone else preps, Rayna and Shy represent their team and Grayvee and Vanilla Ice take the reigns on theirs to go on a field trip and I can’t believe that each team gets $1000 to spend on crap ass decorations. On the way to the props shop, Vanilla Ice spends all of her time on the phone with her radio station, but you have to forgive her after the whole ‘I work in radio and I worked at Hooter’s and I always try to be the best at what I do.’ Sing it, Sister.

A plastic reindeer becomes the focal point of this shopping excursion. Shy wants to buy it but Rayna shuts her down because it’s not elegant and so Vanilla Ice and Grayvee buy it. I don’t even want to know how much that thing even cost. Read More »

Sure, you’ve had a rough day. You failed a quiz, got in a fight with your mom and your roommate’s boyfriend has become a constant presence in front of your t.v. You go to The Cheesecake Factory and decide for a much needed indulgence, you’ll soothe yourself with Chris’ Outrageous Chocolate Cake.

But did you know the treat contains more than half the calories you need for the day? This cake clocks in at 1,380 calories and a whopping 33 grams of saturated fat.

Shocked? Soon, if you live in New York City, there will be no more snack surprises. The city’s Board of Health unanimously approved a new law requiring chain restaurants to display the calorie content of their foods. Hopefully this new transparency with menus will spread across the nation, along with New York’s 2006 ban of trans fat.

For ladies who work hard to stay slim and eat healthy, this is welcome news. It’s not tough to get duped when eating out. Remember how those fast food salads can be just as dangerous to eat as Whoppers once you figure in the high-fat salad dressings?

With this new law, it will be easy to go out and have fun with friends without freaking out about our diets or accidentally taking in too many calories. Get those forks ready and nix the freak out!
