I go back and forth with my opinions of Adam Lambert. Sometimes I think I understand who he is, and sometimes I don't think we'll ever know who the real Adam really is. The more and more I see, I keep thinking it'll clear it all up for me, but ...
After having the following conversation with some friends after the American Idol results show tonight, I decided to turn it into a post. There are two necessary ingredients to being a winner, whether it's the winner of a reality show, the winner of a poker game, or the winner of ...
This is the final chance to win a Who Wants to Be a Millionaire giveaway. Reality Shack has been excited to offer you three gift pack giveaways to coincide with Sweeps Month promotions. The celebrities seem to be having a lot of fun, and Millionaire is making sure the fans ...
ABC's latest Bachelor appears almost perfect on paper. He's cute enough. He's a Navy Lieutenant, he's a doctor, a humanitarian, a former Sunday school teacher, and he's an Iron Man triathelete. He's also sensitive. This past week we saw him attend to an injured Bevin, even accompanying her to the ...
Perhaps the best part of watching the Survivor is at the end when you trying to figure how it will go and why. I can’t see Erinn winning, but I can see someone wanting to take her figuring on the easy win. Conversely, I can’t see anyone wanting to take Taj. She’s took likable. And everyone gave her their money two weeks ago instead of buying food with it. Would they give her a million as well? Don’t get me wrong, I’d love to see [...]
We have so many season finales tonight, I’m wondering what we’re going to do next Thursday. And one of the few that isn’t ending tonight, Survivor, ends on Sunday. This means, not including cable, that next week, we’ll only be left with Southland and Ugly Betty. And there’s only one thing that starts next Thursday, So You Think You Can Dance. What are we going to have over the rest of the dial? 1. Regis and Kelly. We continue “winner’s week” with the winner of [...]
I’ve been waiting for this Michael J. Fox special, Adventures of an Incurable Optimist, since I saw his appearance on Oprah earlier this year. I’m always fascinated by issues of the brain (see my review of the upcoming The Alzheimer’s Project), and everything he’s going through is fascinating to me. Enough so that I immediately downloaded his most recent book, Always Looking Up, to my Kindle App on my iPhone (review to follow on that one.) He told a story on Oprah that while filming [...]
Got nothin’ for ya. Not that the above line means anything in particular, it’s just my favorite Jeff Probst line, even more than “I’ll tally the votes,” or any of the other number of things he says. It almost seems like Jeff really enjoys saying that to people too. Like he just likes to turn that knife just a little more. Not only are you not getting that reward, you’re not getting anything else either. Jeff didn’t have to twist that knife any more for [...]
Ugly Betty is back on the schedule tonight with an all new episode after being replaced by some new series in a trial run for a few weeks. We also get to watch Coach deal with the surprising blow to his ego after Tyson was voted out on Survivor, and I almost think I’d pay money for that one. 1. Oprah Winfrey. Kirstie Alley and Oprah do some bonding today over falling off the wagon on diets. Syndicated, check local listings. 2. The Ellen DeGeneres [...]
I love a good blindside on Survivor. There’s just some sick part of me that enjoys some poor bastard grinning ear to ear thinking he has it all wrapped up, then has his eyes widened more and more with every single vote that Jeff shows. Of course it’s even more enjoyable when there’s an un-played immunity idol in the pocket of the person that’s blindsided or if they play a fake immunity idol only to be told by Jeff it’s a worthless piece of junk. [...]
I have to admit I originally read a bad review of the series currently sitting in ER‘s coveted time slot, Southland, but after watching the first two, I have to say I really like this show. I love TV dramas that play out like a movie, and this does that. It’s full of action, and there seems to be some interesting characters that they could do a lot with as far as development. 1. The Ellen DeGeneres Show. Exciting show today! Both Lindsay Lohan and [...]
Survivor is certainly heating up after the merge. Last week who knew who was really aligned with who and who really would have been voted out had Joe not had to leave with that nasty looking leg infection. Normally after a merge there is one crossover alliance, but this one is featuring at least two, and maybe even smaller factions within those alliances. It’s hard to tell what exactly is going on, making it much more interesting for us views. 1. The View. Tom Bergeron [...]
Wow, that was a close one, in more ways than one. Of course it was a close one for Joe. Whenever injuries like that happen, and the Survivors are told that if they choose to stay in the competition, they could lose their lives or limbs, it makes an impact. It was also a close one for that person that was going to be voted out. The problem is, I have no idea who that is. After the merger of the tribes there were so [...]
With ER now officially gone, NBC is filling its time slot with Southland after heavily promoting the new cop drama. Also starting tonight on NBC is Parks and Recreation, the new Amy Poehler sticom, also heavily promoted. Not to be outdone, CBS chimes in with Harper’s Island, that seems like a very dark Gilligan’s Island. What if one of those shipwrecked was killing everyone off. Who would you suspect, the Professor? 1. Bye Bye, Love. Three divorced dads try to manage it with their exes, [...]
