Another Davis Square Reality Show Contestant

Is everyone in the Davis Sq./Tufts neighborhood going to be on a reality show eventually?

This gentleman lives in the Davis Square area and is appearing on The Food Network’s new reality competition, "Worst Cooks in America."

Will he be as memorable as our own "Beauty & The Geek" champ?

I have to admit, I would LOVE to go on The Amazing Race. But otherwise, no, I will hold out from the trend and not go on a reality show. ;)

There was a very short lived show called On the Rocks that featured two area bartenders, one from Starlite Lounge which counts as Camberville. Sadly, both contestants lost out in the first episodes :(

What network was that on? (btw, Starlite is actually in Somerville, but just barely)

actually, i believe i may have been the only person in all of boston to see it because i recorded and put it in the system for work, NBC aired it for 6 weeks at 1am. Absolut sponsored it, so we treated it like a Paid Program ;)

fwiw, this is not "new" - they've had at least one season before this one.

Boston.com's words. I should know better than to trust them.

haha, oh yeah, just putting it out there in case people like it. i admit i'm one of those food show junkies (i have no idea why either, since you can't taste a damn thing they make and yet we form an opinion based on...nothing? and i'm not a chef, but i digress...) but my roommates and i watched the whole thing start to finish. good chefs heading up both teams too, i wonder i that's different this time around.

The second place winner of last season's Hell's Kitchen is Jason Santos, the head chef at Gargoyle's.

I seems we are everywhere. A guy named Brian (or maybe Ryan) was just on NPR's "Wait, Wait, Don't Tell Me" and mentioned he was from Davis Square. The host, Peter Sagal, said he used to come to Davis to drink cheap beer (he went to Harvard).
