Blind Item!

Sources tell us that two Bravo reality show contestants, one from Project Runway and one from its culinary rip-off, were seen canoodling recently in Manhattan. Can you guess who?

Hints: they're heterosexual; they both made it far in their respective competitions; one is beloved, with nary a bad thing ever said or written about him/her; one is considered "hot" by many fans.

  1. My stab in the dark:
    Mychael Knight and Elia(?)

  3. If the "hot" one is Sam, I'm going to poke my eyes out.

  4. "nary a bad thing ever said or written about him/her"

    That sounds like Harold...or Chloe...or Kara Saun.

    My new guess: Kara Saun and Sam.

    This is much more fun than pretending not to notice the cover of People magazine while I'm in the supermarket checkout line.

  5. OHMYGOD...LOVE THIS....let's see...Sam and Alison? But wait, people did say shit about her...how about Sam and Alexandra (Season 1)?

    Why? Don't you think he's hot?

    My vote: Sam and Chloe

  7. I vote Chloe/Sam too - hope we get to find out eventually!

  8. "Hints: they're heterosexual"

    Very few left to choose from. LOL.

    Why Sam? How about Marcel and Uli?

  9. Sam and Alison. She is HOT!

  10. Sam and Alison. She is HOT!

  11. Ugh - can I go on record as saying lots of nasty things about Allison (her best friends on the show were Keith and Jeffrey - think about it.) And her post auf'd interviews were petty.

    Why not Marcel? Um, did you watch the show? Hardly Universally loved. Of course, looking back, almost all of the season 2 contestants were 4th graders with cooking skills...

    ReplyDelete
  12. Uli and Sam. I don't think Sam is hot at all, but whatever mysterious attraction the rest of the human race had with him is what won him fan favorite; not his personality or cooking.

    It's hard to say who the female is, but I'm banking on Sam. Could be Kara Saun.

    ReplyDelete
  13. i think one is mychael. he was the most beloved on the show. as for the "hot" one...omg is it padama?

    ReplyDelete
  14. I think Sam is hot as hell. I'd say Sam and Chloe.

    ReplyDelete
  15. I'm going with Sam on the chef side. But who for the PR? 'm going with AES (since we have the same initials, too) - Sam and Uli. Everyone loves Uli, and Sam is definitely a hottie

    ReplyDelete
  16. I don't think it's Alison. She didn't make it that far in PR3.

    ReplyDelete
  17. Wow! I'm surprised by all of the votes for Sam as opposed to Mychael as the "hottie" guy. He was the first one that sprang to my mind.

    I agree. Mi(Y/Z/W)chael and Uli perhaps?

  19. I'm also thinking Sam & Uli.

  20. SAM AND ALISON!!!

    ReplyDelete
  21. Daniel (Hey, he says he's straight!) and Elia? She's hot and that accent is hot too.

    ReplyDelete
  22. Marcel (the hot one) and Uli or Chloe (the nothing bad bit).

    ReplyDelete
  23. Here's an unlikely combination: How about Lee Anne and Michael Knight?

    Daniel Franco ("where did you go?") didn't make it that far in either of his seasons and Elia is engaged.

    You're right, and I didn't know about Elia's fiance. But the Boys didn't say single and available. : - ) I'm just saying...

  26. Narrowing it down to the top 5 of each season, which I think qualifies as making it "very far":

    PR 1 - Jay, Kara Saun, Wendy, Austin, Robert

    PR 2 - Chloe, Daniel, Santino, Kara, Nick

    PR 3 - Jeffrey, Uli, Laura, Michael, Kayne

    TC 1 - Harold, Tiffani, Dave, Lee Anne, Stephen

    TC 2 - Ilan, Marcel, Sam, Elia, Cliff

    Mix and match from there. :-)

    LOL. That's hilarious, anonymous. I love it.

    How about Stephen and Uli?

    ReplyDelete
  28. Drop-dead-gorgeous Sam and America- -Is-crazy-country-ja? Uli.

    My bet :)

    ReplyDelete
  29. I forgot about Lee Anne!! That's unforgiveable.

    Ok. A vote for Lee Anne and Mychael Knight.

    ReplyDelete
  30. Wait; they have heterosexuals on Bravo?? I have to stop blinking so much.

    But really...I cannot tell you how happy I'd be if it were Daniel Franco & Kathy Griffin. (I know that, technically, they don't match the clues, but I don't care).

  31. Shit, I don't watch Top Chef, but I would say either Uli or Mychael.

    ReplyDelete
  32. I'm going to say Harold and Alison.

    ReplyDelete
  33. "The Scarlett said...

    I'm going to say Harold and Alison."


    My bet 2. Maybe one of my friends saw them somewhere in NY. I'm going to start calling around.

    I'm kidding.

  34. one the the "key"words is BELOVED. since when is Uli beloved?

  35. "mjude said...

    Uli is adorable and everybody loved her. I mean, she’s gotta be fitted for a halo. Nobody had anything bad to say about her.

    ReplyDelete
  36. I thought Chloe was engaged, as well.

    thats true, but mychael was the fan fave.

    damnit, tell us you bitches!!!

    ReplyDelete
  39. Mychael Knight & Padma Lakshmi?
    She is considered hot--
    He's beloved having won the "Fan Favorite" award.
    Hmmm...

  40. blind items about heteros are no fun.

    ReplyDelete
  41. I want to say Harold as the beloved because I can't think of anything bad I heard about him...but then that leaves the "hot" one to be female from Project Runway...hmmm...I'm gonna have to give this serious thought.

    ReplyDelete
  42. Alright my guess is Harold and Kara Saun..

    Is there a prize at the end of this game? And when do we find out the correct answer? lol

    ReplyDelete
  43. Based on the description, the female must be Uli. Haven't watched Top Chef, so don't know the other person.

    ReplyDelete
  44. It might be Padma Lakshmi. According to Wikipedia, she is divorcing the author Sir Salman Rushdie ('Satanic Verses" and other books).

    ReplyDelete
  45. Okay. Mychael. Shoot me. Change your name back.

    That's just dumb.

    My quick thoughts:
    - Think New York based!
    - Can't see it being Chloe. She's Houston-based. I mean, I know people travel, but that's far-fetched.
    - Top Chef: Sam, Illan, Leann, Harold. All New York It would likely have to be Sam or Harold. No one talks shit about Harold... and he's the "hottie" of that season. Same with Sam, though.
    - Marcel. Yeah right. Besides, he and Elia are both Vegas-based.

    This is all crap if it's just a New York fling, though.

    ReplyDelete
  46. HOW WEIRD IS THAT THAT THEY WERE MARRIED??

    Up is down, left is right...




    Cats and dogs living together...

    ReplyDelete
  47. Oh, you boys! How tantalizing. Those heteros considered "hot" include Top Chef's Sam, Harold, Elia. Of those, "beloved" applies mostly to Harold and Lee Ann. "Beloved" also applies to PR's Michael and Uli. Alison (hot) didn't really get that far in the competition and no one who did would be both hot and heterosexual. Is a puzzlement.

    ReplyDelete
  48. I'm gonna go with Uli & Sam. Love them both!!!

    ReplyDelete
  49. You are going to tell us at some point, right?

    ReplyDelete
  50. ahhh!!!

    the more i read the more confused i am!!!

    im almost positive its Sam.

    but NOT A CLUE who the girl is
    Alison maybe..but they dont seem like much of a match..

    its angela!! shes so beloved!
    (oh hell no!)



    still confused!

    Well, she's a helluva lot more beloved than Alison. I've never heard anyone say anything negative about Uli but need I remind you of all the vitriol that was spewed after her "retard" and "scoliosis" remarks? The kittens and unicorns pictures disappeared pretty quickly after that. I think after she opened her mouth it was determined Alison is pretty on the outside and pretty ugly on the inside.

  52. Norah and Ilan?

    So in aggreement, I think Sam is just greasy and gross, never understood the attraction. I think Padma is a good guess in light of her pending divorce but that doesn't leave many choices for the guy.

    ReplyDelete
  54. I say its:

    PR Season 1 Robert Plotkin as "the hot one" and
    TC Season 1 LeeAnn as the "beloved" one.

    I don't necessarily think he is "hot" but that was the regular commentary during his season.

    ReplyDelete
  55. I say the "beloved" one is Kara Saun, and the "hot" one is Cliff.

    ReplyDelete
  56. I'm pretty sure Kara Saun isn't hetero though, so it can't be her. I wish I knew more Top Chef people, but since I never really got into watching it, I'm having trouble "mixing and matching."

    ReplyDelete
  57. I vote for Harold and Ulli. He's half German, I think, so they have something in common aside from being Bravo reality stars...

    ReplyDelete
  58. Chloe lives in Texas. Why she'd be canoodling in Manhattan is beyond me! My votes are for the scarlett's guess of Alison and Harold, or Sam and Alison, or Cliff and Kara Saun.

    :)

    ReplyDelete
  59. Uli and Sam. If I'm wrong, it's only because it's Uli and Harold.

    ReplyDelete
  60. Darlings, re-read the blind item. Padma was (is) not a contestant! (""Sources tell us that two Bravo reality show contestants . . . ")

    Never did understand what Rushdie saw in her. Guess it's like the Miller/Monroe marriage.

    ReplyDelete
  61. I hope it isn't anyone from Season 2 of Top Chef - especially Ilan, Sam, Elia or Cliff. They physically assaulted Marcel and videotaped their attack for laughs and giggles. It was seriously the most disgusting thing I've ever seen on a BRAVO program. Despicable!

    Harold and Uli would make a cute couple.

    ReplyDelete
  62. I know I've read it somewhere that Sam and Uli have been spotted dining together, but that he was Blackberrying most of the time and she was doing all the talking. Personally, I think she can do better.

    ReplyDelete
  63. it's sam and uli. there are pics of them together...!

    ReplyDelete
  64. Hmmm...I am eaten up with curiosity, poodles! Tell!

    On the Top Chef side, I'll go with Harold -- I'm not sure whether he's hetero or not, but he was both hot and popular. None of the finalists from TC2 would qualify in the "well-loved" department, although Elia and Sam are attractive, physically if not personality-wise.

    PR -- shoot -- this one is tougher! You know, I'm going to go with Harold and Uli. Mostly because I liked both of them.

    ReplyDelete
  65. Yes, it's Uli and Sam. Look what I found:

    "Uli (Project Runway) and Sam (Top Chef Season 2) dining together at Craftbar. Sam checked his Bberry often during the meal and Uli seemed to be doing all the talking. Sam really is a piece of ass in person, tall, lithe and very good looking...there wasn't a whole lot of chemistry there."

  66. Interesting match!

    ReplyDelete
  67. I say Harold and Alison.

    ReplyDelete
  68. Ewwww.... gross.

    Sam is a scumbag. He is "THAT" guy. He was not well-loved, especially after Marcel's assult.

    Uli is way too good for him. She could do so much better.

    ReplyDelete
  69. "Sam checked his Bberry often during the meal and Uli seemed to be doing all the talking."

    How rude!

    ReplyDelete
  70. I love Uli. I'm not surprised she went out with Sam. He's hot. I just think he's kind of an asshole, but hot men are usually assholes; they never have to change a thing about themselves, and women looooove them.

    ReplyDelete
  71. I was there! it is Laura and Elan! shhhh don't tell!

    ReplyDelete
  72. Sam didn't assault Marcel. He refused to participate.

    Yeah, I don't see much chemistry in Sam/Uli.

    ReplyDelete
  73. I'm guessing Mychael Knight or Uli? I don't watch "bitches that cook" lol.

    ReplyDelete
  74. Has Uli found someone to put meat on her bones? Or is that meat in her bones?

    ReplyDelete
  75. Harold is engaged to another chef from Atlanta so he is out...

    ReplyDelete
  76. Hey - if it really was Sam and Uli (as the reports seem to state), do I win anything for gusessing it first? :-)

    AES
    (Ballsy question from an anon poster, I know.)

    ReplyDelete
  77. Yeah, I'll say Uli & Sam. That could happen...

    ReplyDelete
  78. sam IS SO hot. and uli seems bit old for him. i thought he had a girlfriend besides.

    He's 28, she's 35. So what?

  80. Sam is definitely hot, but doesn't he have a girlfriend?

    ReplyDelete
  81. Ooo ooo I LOVE blind items.

    Wait. They're heterosexual?

    Well, then, does it really matter?

    ReplyDelete
  82. Oh man, I know next to nothing about the culinary PR ripoff, but let me venture a guess for the "hot" PR half of this little item.

    I'm thinking Robert Plotkin from Season 1.

    ReplyDelete
  83. Those of you who speculated that Kara Saun might be the "beloved" one that no one ever said anything bad about are SMOKING SOMETHING!

    She tried to cheat in the finale (with donated custom shoes), and never did comprehend why it was a problem. And she was really childish and petty in her feud with Wendy.

    Great designer, but also a hypocrite and not a nice person - definitely not "beloved."

    ReplyDelete
  84. the hot one would have to be sam because his hotness was actually mentioned on air. it probably isn't chloe, b/c she is still based in texas, correct? and padma is a horrible guess, especially since she is married. michael is a possibility, but then who would the woman be? elia is engaged to someone else, and there weren't any other girls on top chef that could really be a candidate. so i say it is sam and uli.

    ReplyDelete
  85. Who? Who? I have NO idea.

    And you'd have to go far to find a well-loved contestant in TOP CHEF 2. What a bunch of a**holes! The only one who was always poised and gracious -- in spite of being treated like s***t by most of the other contestants, for no other reason than because he at least was creative -- was Marcel Vigneron. Hats off to you, Marcel. And that lying, dull, manipulative Ilan Hall can starve in a ditch before I'll ever eat in his boring Spanish diners.

    ReplyDelete
  86. I say Harold and Chloe.

    ReplyDelete
  87. "padma is a horrible guess, especially since she is married."

    Not so true anymore. In the July 16th Time magazine there's a snippet about their announced divorce.

    ReplyDelete
  88. Its not Padma, b/c she's not a contestant. (If someone already said that, sorry, I didn't feel like reading the same posts after I got halfway through.)

    Sam and Uli?
    Ilan (yes, he's hot too) and Kara Janx?

    This list does give some good ideas, but there are several people that can be cut out, thus narrowing the scope:

    PR 1 - (Jay-openly gay), Kara Saun (I haven't heard many bad things about her), (Wendy-I think she might be married), (Austin-openly gay), Robert (rather well known as the "hot one" from the season)

    PR 2 - Chloe (I have yet to year a single bad thing about her), (Daniel-openly bisexual with a preference for men (he said that-not me!)), (Santino-openly bisexual), (Kara Janx-just got married), (Nick-openly gay)

    PR 3 - Jeffrey, Uli (I haven't anything bad about her), (Laura-married), Michael (c'mon, he was totally the cute one!), (Kayne-openly gay)

    I don't know much about the "Top Chef"-ers, so they're all up in the air to me:

    TC 1 - Harold, (Tiffani-openly bisexual), Dave, Lee Anne, Stephen

    TC 2 - Ilan, Marcel, Sam, Elia, Cliff
