Amazing Race

Too bad. I was actually rooting for them. Lynn was a bit of an old woman, but nowhere near as bad as Gretchen. Can not stand her. I am now rooting for Uchenna and Joyce. Anyone who shaves their head isn't all that bad.

Anwar is Out

So Anwar is out.

And Scott doged the bullet again.

America, am I going to have to come down there and get medieval on your henies?

WAKE UP!!! SCOTT SUCKS!!!! HE NEEDS TO GO HOME!!!!!

Not a happy camper today.

YOU'RE BUSTED!: It looks like Apprentice finalist Chris Shelton forgot to take his Ritalin over the weekend. The tantrum-prone, tobacco-chewin' 22-year-old — one of Donald Trump's six remaining tycoon wannabes — was arrested early Sunday morning for disorderly conduct following a disturbance at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Tampa, according to TheSmokingGun.com. Although the exact nature of the incident was not known, given Shelton's history of spontaneous convulsions, not to mention his corpselike mug shot (shown at right), TVGuide.com is gonna go out on a limb and assume alcohol, heavy dippin' and persistent voices played a role.


Once again - HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!

From TV Guide Online

IT WAS INEVITABLE: Speaking of bad TV-show ideas, The Amazing Race's most famous whackjobs, Jonathan Baker and Victoria Fuller, are shooting a reality pilot for VH1. The potential series will attempt to answer the age-old question, "What happens when the cameras stop rolling and reality-show contestants go back to living their lives?" In this case, I'm fairly certain the answer is, "More backpack beatings."

HAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!

Fame whores.

So Net Worth looses again.

They have to design clothing for American Eagle Outfitters that incorpodrate technology.

Magna does market research, creates a cool logo and rocks the presentation. Tana, their PM is amazing. The producers try and make it look like they are going to loose, but you know they aren't.

Networth is a continual series of mess ups. The don't do market research. Chris looses the credit card. They try to stuff as much technology into each garmet ans is humanly possible. Their models were late. They were late for the presentation. Angie choked. And Alex did nothing.

So Magna got to go to a great clothing store.

Networth got the boardroom and Angie got fired cause she choked (although she rants that she didn't in the taxi) and Trump doesn't want a choker in his operation.

Apprentice - Results

Well Networth has lost again.

The task was to design clothes for American Eagle outfitters that incorporate technology.

Basically Magna did their homework (market research) and came up with a great product. Yeah TPTB tried to make it look like they would loose, but they rocked.

Over at Networth, they tried to put as much technology into one garment as possible, at one point Chris lost the credit card, the models left their clothes at the store, Angie choked, and Alex didn't oversee anyone.

So Magna won and got to go a high end clothing store to shop.

Networth went to the boardroom and Angie went home cause she choked (although she keeps saying she didn't in her after speech) and Trump doesn't hire chokers.

Survivor - Results

Is anyone surprised that Ulong lost again? Both challenges?

Well they did - and Koror won 55 gallons of fresh water and cleaning supplies at reward. But Tom wouldn't let them have a shower. That'll bite him in the ass.

Anyways - Ulong goes to tribal and Stephanie and Bobby John have to make fire and light a torch. Stephanie rocks this, basically by building a base to raise her fire up. So she is now the tribe of one.

Will see if next week has her competing as a tribe of one.

Joan of Arcadia - Last Night's Episode - Reaction

My reaction to last night's episode was very different from some people's. (The boards are alive with this, people are very upset.) I thought it was actually closer in spirit to last season than almost anything else this season.

Yes - I love Adam. I love the relationship between him and Joan, but neither of them is perfect. They are in high school. How many of you made stupid, stupid mistakes in high school? How many of you made selfish decisions and lived to regret it?

I admire Jone for not forgiving him. I admire her for not letting Adam get away with it. It shows that she is a strong young woman. I am disappointed in Adam, but I hope that he grows from this and becomes a better man.

The fact that Joan and Adam have broken up is not surprising, this is a High School romance. Very few of them last past High School. I will be surprised if Grace and Luke last, as much as I like them and am rooting for them.

I think that some of the reaction is due to the fact that Adam has been placed on a pedestal. And we now know he has clay feet. We feel the betrayal as keenly as Joan.

I am very interested to find out what Helen's reaction will be. Her statement on Lily and Kevin is forshadowing as to what will happen when she finds out about Adam and Joan.

America's Next Top Model - This week's

Watched this week episode, and once again, the ladies look dumb.

The fact that Michelle has open sores on her face and it takes several days to get her to the doctor. It turns out to impetigo - completely treatable. But the scenes with the ladies calling their mothers and learning about flesh eating bacteria could qualify for a comedy Emmy.

Tasks - they go to make-up school where Jay looks like an old man. They learn about how to do natural make-up, yet they don't apply those skills in the rest of the episode. Tyra comes to talk to them all and she suggests that Michelle go to the doctor. But she doesn't go! There is a contest where they have to do run-way make-up - Naima wins and she picks Lluvy and Christina to go with her to get a custom handbag designed by Lauren Scherr. Then they get made up to look like a different ethnicity and do a Got Milk ad. The professionals suggest to Jay that Michelle go to the doctor. And she does! And it is impetigo! Treatable! They aren't all going to die in horrible agony! That'll be next season. Anyways - the ladies have to hold a squirming kid while they are getting photographed, except for Michelle, who gets a doll since she is contagious.

So at judging the ladies have two minutes to do a fierce make-up job with no mirror or brushes. And the judges judge the job they do and the photos. Lluvy and Noelle are in the bottom two and Noelle goes home cause she isn't "modelly" enough. Yeah - even though Tatiana and Christina were so more deserving.
