《粉雄救兵》（明珠台周日20：45播出）一反美国电视主流常态，以5位同性恋为主角，一时竟活活颠覆了老美们几十年来的视觉习惯。 　　《粉雄救兵》的五位“粉雄”，个个都是让人充满敬意的内心丰富的时尚人士。穿着优雅，风度翩翩，体谅女性，让所有看的女性观众都忍不住幻想，如果他们是我的朋友，生活将会怎样，那可真是令人心旷神怡啊。关于性取向？谁还去管他。 　　他们人手一份城中最时尚的职业，五人配合默契：Carson是时装设计师，负责着装修饰；Thom是室内设计装饰师，家里的事儿交给他处理；Jai是高级买手，负责选购所有的礼物及社交；Ted则是美食家，烹饪和品酒高手；而Kyan是专业美容美发师，负责脸部美容。 　　他们的专长就是从美学角度拯救那些在时尚、生活方面一塌糊涂的所谓“正常”男人，即不修边幅的男士。如今他们不但是各种脱口秀节目盛情邀请的嘉宾，在MTV颁奖礼上还坐上了首席，出书当然也在计划之中，原因是他们符合“人贱人爱”的时代风气，说起话来够刻薄还爆笑。 　　“粉雄”如何“救兵” 　　从衣着、家居、饮食、谈吐等全方位改造 　　这部真人秀节目更像是一个时尚人生课堂，更有看头的是，五位帅哥，个个伶牙俐齿，刻薄幽默，心地善良，善解人意，看起来很是爽快。也许出于他们特别具有的细腻感性，也许因为他们大多是从事与艺术相关的工作，所以他们似乎比普通人更富有创造性，更敏锐，也更加无所顾忌。 　　每一集都会有一位灰头土脸的倒霉蛋被这5位帅哥改头换面，五位“粉雄”每个星期都要从衣着、家居、饮食、谈吐等各方面改造一位所谓的“正常男人”。这些人通常是被忍无可忍的女友或老婆“推荐”到节目里的，也有自觉自愿报名的。只要是居住在纽约市内的男士都可以报名，一旦被选中，就可以免费接受改造。 　　首先，五位“粉雄”会先到被改造者的家中视察，发现症结所在。比如，“粉雄”会捡起乱扔的内裤说：“我想它遭遇了车祸，因为我在上面看见了车胎痕。”并且让被改造者将自己的衣物按照“丑”、“很丑”、“丑极了”分类。或者针对搭配给个命令：“手机不是配饰，别把它扣在皮带上，你给我马上解下来！”也会适当给点建议：“红酒确实不错，但是，它会把你的牙齿弄得紫红一片。去约会，去派对，记得只能喝白酒。”“招呼客人最重要的是把他们照顾得好好的，别忘记第一时间递上一杯饮料。”“别再为鼻毛狡辩！”节目最后，则是展示“粉雄”的改造成果———可以用化腐朽为神奇来形容。 　　作为观众的我们，当然看得过瘾，除了看这五位“粉雄”如何改造这些男士之外，还可以看到他们在翻箱倒柜之余，用上尖酸刻薄的语言来揶揄他们，不过最重要的是如何从这些个案中得到启发或心得，当然不可能生搬硬套，因为一来每个人的情况都不同，而且如果要好似剧中人一样改变，肯定是所费不赀，并非人人可以负担。 　　这是一个“让一小部分人先美起来”的男性版本。不知道在《粉雄救兵》如此火的情况下，那剩余的大部分人，会跟随脚步“美起来”，抑或是更绝望地“邋遢下去”？各位男士是时候反省一下啦！

Bravo serves up the second season of its hit culinary competition series "Top Chef" beginning on Wednesday, October 18 at 11:00 p.m. Then, it will move into its regular 10:00 p.m. timeslot on Wednesday, October 25. 　　The new crop of fifteen of the country's most impressive rising chefs in the second season all hope to follow in the footsteps of season one winner, Harold Dieterle, who plans to open his Manhattan restaurant, Perilla, later this year. 　　The series features fifteen aspiring chefs who compete for their shot at culinary stardom and the chance to earn the prestigious title of "Top Chef." Each episode holds two challenges for the chefs. The first is a quickfire test of their basic abilities and the second is a more involved elimination challenge designed to test the versatility and invention of the chefs as they take on unique culinary trials such as working with unusual and exotic foods or catering for a range of demanding clients. The challenges not only test their skills in the kitchen, but also uncover if they have the customer service, management and teamwork abilities required of a Top Chef. The competing chefs live and breathe the high-pressure lifestyle that comes with being a master chef, and each week someone is asked to "pack up their knives" and go home. 　　Actress and award-winning writer Padma Lakshmi joins the second season as host of "Top Chef," introducing the challenges to the contestants and sitting at the judges' table each week. Lakshmi is currently working on her second cookbook for Miramax Books, due in Spring 2007, a culinary endeavor of over 150 recipes from around the world and intriguing personal memoirs. This is a follow up to her successful first cookbook, Easy Exotic, for which she won the International Versailles Event for best cookbook by a first time writer. 　　Tom Colicchio, one of the culinary world's most celebrated figures and co-founder of New York City's Gramercy Tavern and Craft Restaurants, returns as Head Chef/Judge for the new season, guiding the chefs through the challenges and demanding that they perform only at their best. Food expert and tough critic Gail Simmons of Food & Wine magazine also returns as a regular judge for the series. In addition, each week will feature a special guest judge, some of the most respected figures in the culinary industry. 　　The second season also features a glitzy new backdrop -- the city of Los Angeles. The contestants will reside in the city's culturally burgeoning downtown area, where most of the season's production activity will be centered. 　　The "Top Chef" season two chefs are: 　　• Elia L. Aboumrad - 23 - Las Vegas, NV 　　• Otto Borsich - 46 - Las Vegas, NV 　　• Marisa Churchill - 28 - San Francisco, CA 　　• Clifford Crooks - 28 - West Caldwell, NJ 　　• Carlos Fernandez - 36 - Fort Lauderdale, FL 　　• Betty Fraser - 44 - Los Angeles, CA 　　• Mia Gaines - 32 - Oakdale, CA 　　• Ilan Hall - 24 - New York, NY 　　• Michael Midgley - 28 - Stockton, CA 　　• Josie Smith-Malave - 31 - Brooklyn, NY 　　• Emily Sprissler - 30 - Las Vegas, NV 　　• Sujai Steinhauer - 29 - New York, NY 　　• Sam Talbot - 28 - New York, NY 　　• Frank Terzoli - 39 - San Diego, CA 　　• Marcel Vigneron - 26 - Las Vegas, NV
