OHMYGOD Two shows? That's awesome!! I have a feeling that PR is going to win.
Oh and I forgot:
"OUTSTANDING REALITY PROGRAM:
Kathy Griffin: My Life On The D-List • Bravo"
I love her show!! I hope she wins!
Fabulous!! Congratulations, Bravo!
Definitely some of my favorites shows and the only reason why I still have cable.
Bravo indeed!
Did anyone see Kathy Griffin's comedy special? I loved the part where she talked about her reaction to losing to Extreme Home Makeover. I won't spoil it for those who haven't seen it yet, but it is HYSTERICAL!!!

Her show is so funny. I'm rooting for her and PR.
I'm totally rooting for Kathy. And PR, but I'm actually rooting a little bit harder for Kathy.
Kathy Griffin is the one I'd like to see win in the bunch. She is hysterical.
PR, I don't think I'd like to see win for this past season, because I hated the whole tone of Season 3. For me it was too Lord of the Flies because of toxic misogynist Jeffrey & his fawning orbit, and I think it is unforgivable (and stupid) of Bravo to have allowed it to become that way.
After Season 3, I was completely disgusted (& done) with the show, and quite frankly, the only reason I'd give Season 4 a chance at all is because of you boys and this blog.

Congrats, Bravo and the Boys and the PR Bloggers and the readers and the viewers...!!
Congrats on Emmy nods!
Congrats on the Emmy nominations! Very well deserved.
It'd be nice to see either of the Bravo entries, Project Runway or Top Chef, get some recognition; both shows are well put-together.

I agree, I bet this is the year for Project Runway to get an Emmy. They so deserved it.
They HAVE to give it to PR. It's about f---ing time. In my opinion, PR is one of the best reality shows EVER.
Yea Kathy!
Yea Bravo!
Though I must admit slight disappointed "WORK OUT" didn't get a nod, especially since this season (Doug's passing, et al) was incredibly emotional. Maybe next year.
Go Jackie!

YAY!!! Congratulations, Bravo!
Very exciting news! PR needs to win this time.
Congratulations to PR on the Emmy nominations!! I miss the show ; - (
Honeys, make sure you don't get too close to the suits. Sometimes I worry you're going to lose your catty objectivity by palling around with the marketers. O-kay??
Bravo is one of the few TV channels I watch on a regular basis. I love their shows. Congrats and good luck!!

Ditto. I'm getting worried about you boys.

I saw it. If it's true, I can't believe they didn't ban her. You go Kathy!!!
I'm a big fan of Project Runway, so I was psyched to hear that the show was nominated for an Emmy for the 3rd year in a row. Congratulations, Bravo!
Love Miss Kathy, I want a win for her-- but hearing her rant after losing to EHM--maybe its funnier if she loses!
PR is overdue for a win here...wonder why they submitted "Iconic Statement" and not the doggy challenge? That was the best S3 episode in my opinion...
congtats Kathy G! After the scene at last year's Emmy awards, I tought she would never get nominated again.. but, she did! T&L really need to interview her!
I don't get Kathy Griffin. I like her comedy specials but her shows are always of her bombing at some pathetic event. I saw a bit of a show where she was performing in from of about ten middle school children who were completely bored the entire time. Why does she want everyone to think she is unfunny?
In my opinion, Bravo is the best out there. Between PR, Top Chef, Kathy's show (fantastic!), Work Out, and the other fab offerings, it can't be beat right now. There is some great competition in all of these categories as well, which ultimately just works in all of the nominee's favor.
I'm patiently waiting .... waiting .... waiting ... for PR4. Thank goodness for Top Chef!
Impressive Bravo TV. Great to hear you gain that a lot of Emmy nominations. Congratulations. I'm sure they're gonna get more with their new show "Flipping Out". When I saw Bravo’s "Flipping Out", I though finally there is an interesting character on a reality show instead of the usual people trying to out smart each other and just acting stupid. Tori seems like a genuine person (and she’s not bad to look at.) While Jeff seems like kind of a self-involved jerk, Tori seems to ground him and put him in his place. I hope she make more predictions in the future – maybe it will make Jeff a little less all about himself.
Season 4's going to be hot! Especially w. Rami I'm so excited! Look @ his stuff www.ramikashou.com it's amazing!
