Big Brother 15’s Elissa Slater got a bridezilla intervention from Kim Zolciak on Anderson

It’s a tangled web TV can weave and this post is about as good an example as I can think of. What had been rumored in Big Brother forums for a while was verified when it was announced last week that former winner Rachel Reilly’s sister, Elissa Slater, would be cast for season 15. While her relationship to the polarizing champ made most of the headlines, it turns out that sister Elissa has been on TV before. During a May, 2012 episode of Anderson Live about bridezillas, Slater won a trip to Mexico (if America’s votes have much influence – this could hurt her for sure). Watch Elissa’s past TV experience and let us know if you think that being Rachel’s sister (she says she doesn’t intend on hiding that fact if she’s asked) and having won a big prize via TV previously will hurt her chances in the game.

PHOTO Restaurant from iconic last scene of Sopranos pays tribute to James Gandolfini

After hearing of the tragic passing of James Gandolfini, I got into a conversation with a friend about the historical impact of his association to the indelible role of Tony Soprano. We concluded that while there may be some on par, no actor has ever been more closely tied to such an iconic TV character as Gandolfini was to Tony Soprano.
