l colore di soldi

Another of our guilty pleasures with Italian television is l colore di soldi, or "The Color of Money." This is a typical Italian game show- I can't tell you exactly what the objective is, but they have a bunch of screens that are color coded and a sexy lady who's sole purpose it is to dance and point in the direction of the colored screen.

Melanie Moore


Daisy and I have become obsessed with this late night Italian variety show, "Tra Sogno e Realta" (Between Dreams and Reality), which stars Melanie Moore. You can read a more in depth description of the show on Daisy's blog here.... Needless to say, this is Italian television at it's finest!

She was robbed!!!!!

not every night can be an exciting adventure. Some nights we just stay home and watch Italian TV.

A while ago, we became addicted to the miss Italia contest. it was 3 nights long, had well over 100 girls, and was a cross between a beauty contest, America's Next Top Model and a cheesy Mexican variety show

as far as we could understand ( because it was all in Italian), there were over 20 different categories; each with it's own winner (i.e. Miss Cinema, Miss Fashion, Miss Sportif, Miss Vamp, and Sponsorship titles, like Miss Puegot)

One the first night, at the end of the evening, the "main" winner of the evening was Miss Fashion, who was mistakenly given to the wrong girl, and had it TAKEN AWAY and given to the correct girl, on live TV. Scandal!

At the end of the 3rd night (with each night ending well after 1am), after all the girls had been voted on numerous times (by both a panel of judges and call-in votes), they were finally cut down to the last two. The "wronged" Miss Fashion from the first night (the one who lost) seemed to score the highest and be in the lead, but at last second, they gave the title to this other girl. Maybe she scored higher with the call-in votes?

I doubt i would have watched this show, even if i could understand what the hell they were saying...
