Licensing.biz -- a Web site that hurts my brain with all its crazy “acquisition” and “brand profile” talk -- is reporting that NBC Universal (which owns Bravo) has secured DSI Games to produce a Wii game based on popular reality show Top Chef.
Make fun of me if you will, but I love Top Chef. Love it. In fact, I love all reality television. Yup, I am one of those people. But a game based on Top Chef? I don’t really like the sound of that. True, putting it on the Wii is a step in the right direction (wow, I just cut that star anise myself!), but the producers need to avoid the game being just another generic Cooking Mama clone.
What do you think? Would you play a game based on Top Chef? What other reality shows would make good Wii games (Groomer Has It!)?
Go Stephanie!

Just so everyone knows Dale and Richard are the two best chefs this year...... My girlfriend Padma told me so.

What reality show would make a good video game? I can only think of one. The Weakest Link.

Also, Weakest Link is not a reality show. It is a game show. THERE IS A DIFFERENCE.

In Top Chef, I assume people get eliminated for being the third-to-the-top chef or whatever. Same thing.

also reality TV is like a virus that will run rampant through your system and cause you to forget what good writing can do for entertainment.

Man, there sure are a lot of annoying assholes on this season of Top Chef. I guess I'll go with Stephanie.
