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 ...
by Carrie Let’s start off with the basics – how did you get into standup comedy, and how long have you been doing it? I’ve been doing standup since 1994. I actually got into it by mistake. There was an agent on one of my flights when I was a flight attendant, and I’d been goofing off on the mic. He pulled me aside and said he could get me some work that would pay much more than I was currently making. I thought, “Hey [...]
by Wumple It’s day 70 inside the Big Brother house, and Michael and Karen are up for eviction. The evicted housguest will become the 5th member of the jury who will decide the winner of Big Brother 5. After taking Drew off the block, Karen was nominated by default. Karen approaches Diane in the cloud room to discuss the situation. Diane says that the worst case scenario would be the voting being a tie and Nakomis having to vote out her brother, Michael. Diane, Drew [...]
by aurora Welcome back to New York City! The Donald kicks things off by telling us that NYC is the benchmark for success. He brags a bit about the hundred or so companies he owns, along with various beauty pageants, golf courses, and of course, a TV show. Last year he hired Bill Rancic, who we see in action on the building project in Chicago. This year, Trump is looking for someone who’s smart, someone who’s a leader – he’s looking for…The Apprentice. 18 candidates [...]
by Luke Simon Cowell’s new reality show “The X-Factor” stormed onto UK screens this week and with its impressive graphics and catchy theme tune quickly presented itself as an update to the “Idol” format rather than just a spin-off. There were the usual tears and tantrums as the first round of auditions were shown, and not just among the contestants. Judges Simon, Sharon Osbourne and Louis Walsh found that with the age limit on entrants removed and vocal groups allowed auditioning glamorous grannies and barbershop [...]
Season 2 begins September 13th. Some of us will miss Rana Walker. Devotees will remember that Rana originally applied to BE a houseguest when she was tapped to be a Life Coach instead. She basically got steamrolled by saleswoman-turned-self-promoter Rhonda Britten. Rana is sweet and gentle, not over-the-top like you need to be on reality TV. So Rhonda will be joined by “Inspirational speaker and best-selling author” Iyanla Vanzant and “renowned clinical psychologist” Dr. Stan J. Katz. He’s a pop psychologist who has done a [...]
[i]by atarus[/i] We open up at the Victorian Memorial in Calcutta, the last pit stop. Brandon and Nicole are hiking around the memorial, asking people for some moolah since they are without. They are both uncomfortable asking for money. I could make a joke about this, but my brain is fried right now, so I won’t. Colin and Christie start off again, and the trip is headed to New Zealand! They have to fly to Auckland, and then take a drive to the Rodarua Museum. [...]
by Lisa As tonight’s episode begins we recap last Saturday’s eviction of Marvin. Nakomis, the new HOH, has Cowboy worrying that he may indeed be put on the block a second time, even though she promised him it would never happen again. Nakomis yells at Adria for breaking a promise, but she can do it with no problems. For once, Karen regrets throwing a competition and wishes she had won HOH. Well, Karen, you have no idea how much that mistake may have cost you. [...]
Season 2 won the $50,000 again. I haven’t seen a contest this lop-sided since Mike Tyson fought PeeWee Herman. (Maybe that was a dream after some bad spaghetti!) Anyway, you get the drift. Season 2 is just b**ch-slapping Season 1 week after week. Even Ralphie joked about it by saying when the next round of competitions started, ‘there’s another $50,000 we won’t be getting.’ He’s a smart man. Jay decided to make the comics sweat again. I swear he thinks he’s Ryan Seacrest and this [...]
Okay! I am not a huge fan of the way Beth dresses. I really thought that she picked out her own clothes. Imagine my shock and surprise at the beginning of Episode 4 when we find out that Ms. Beth allows Duane to pick out her clothes for her. (Now, I understand why she wears what she wears.) Duane (DOG) is apparently picky about his clothes. I’m so glad that biker-metal-goth is hot again. I can’t wait to pull out my leather bustier with the [...]
Team #1 is the vets, Dog & Beth vs. Team #2, the little ‘DOGS’, Leland and Justin. The object of the competition is to catch the bail jumper first. Simple, right? Beth & Dog have no real leads yet; Leland & Justin have an address. They think that means they’re gonna win. We shall see, right? Leland has been a bounty hunter for 7 years. Justin, who looks at Dog like a surrogate daddy, is relatively new to the biz. They get going. Cut to [...]
