Monday a.m. quarterbacking of t.v. shows

I have to start out with Survivor. As much as Coach is annoying me, that's how much Tyson is growing on me. That guy is a hoot! I still like J.T. the best, but I just don't see him in a power position. Maybe if he had voted with the inter-group alliance of Taj, Brendan, Steven and Sierra, then he could have been the big dog. But now that he aligned himself with Coach, Tyson, etc. he is really going to have to watch his back. The previews for this week show everyone being shitty to Sierra and just telling her straight to her face, you're going next. That must be tough to live with.

Oh, and this is hysterical. Everyone was all "Oh, Taj is rich, she doesn't need the money" but now that Brendan is home again, word is out that he is one of the founders of Bare Naked and is starting a new company of all natural organic foods and if you go to http://www.evolburritos.com/ and fill out a form they will mail you a coupon for free burritos. This offer only lasts until that moron Coach gets evicted, so don't dilly dally!! :) I am so loving this!!

Ok, on Amazing Race last night the small guys Michael and Mark got eliminated. That's too bad. They were so up-beat and loved every task they were given. Unlike those nasty cheerleader girls who complain, bitch and berate every single person they come in contact with for not speaking English and making their lives easier. I'm sorry but I just can't stand them!! And what was up with Jen and Luke? Good Lord! I guess my favorite person on AR is Margie. She is awesome. And did you listen (read the subtitles) to Tammy and Victor telling the calligraphers to do mine first, over and over again! Ha! That was funny. And they still ended up in 3rd.

The No. 1 Ladies Detective Agency was really good last night. I really love every character on that show. But last night, that cute and feisty Grace the secretary (97%!!!) she just took the cake. She is so endearing you just want to fold her up and stick her in your pocket and carry her around with you all day!

The Tudors - Well, well, old Henry VIII seems to be a strange mix of becoming more revengeful and at the same time more leniant. It must be the hardest thing to play that, but it sure comes across the screen well.

Desperate Housewives was sad. I really hated that Edie had to go. Edie talking to the other women was like them having to look in a "Truth Mirror". She pulled no punches nor cut them any slack. And she expected none cut for her. I guess they had to kill her off this season or find a way for her to sleep with Lynette's husband since he is the only one left she hasn't interacted with!! That would have been hard considering Edie is currently married to Psycho NutCase Man.

Last night I watched Grey Gardens on HBO. It's a movie about a documentary made in the 70's about Big Edie and Little Edie who are the aunt and cousin to Jackie Kennedy. In the movie they are played by Jessica Lange and Drew Barrymore. If this movie doesn't win a ton of Emmy's, I will eat my hat. It's hard to single out one over the other because they both were so good. Now I want to find a copy of the original documentary and see it. Please look for this on your HBO guide and don't miss this.

DWTS - last week was sad to watch Steve-O leave. I hope he can keep his sobriety. He certainly left with his self respect and a huge fan base to support him.

Intervention - reruns again. I can never figure out when there is a new season and when they are showing oldies. By now, don't you think every addict in America has seen this and is "on to them"?? They can't possibly be surprised when the "documentary" turns in to the intervention anymore, can they? I love this show and really do want it to continue. I also love the follow-ups to let us know how these people are doing.

I read that they are currently filming Celebrity Re-Hab 3. And that it will be more about sexual addiction rather than substance addiction. And surprise, surprise! There will be some repeat performances. I think that is coming out in the summer.

I have tried to watch that new 13 part mini series, Harper's Island. And what a piece of crap! The little ads to watch it have a little girl's voice over saying "One by One" to make you think each week they are going to kill off one of the wedding guests on the island. The first show they killed off 2 people, and on the second show, no one has figured that the first two are dead yet, there are 3 more dead. How is this "One by One"?? As much as I like the actor who is playing the groom-to-be, I am done with this and no way can I sit through 11 more episodes.

Biggest Loser! See what happens, Laura? Karma came back and bit you in the ass! That's what happens. Please, with a stress fracture and not being able to workout, why was there any discussion? That's just being selfish. It was her turn to leave. I hope she gets physical therapy to get her hip back in good shape. But she is NOT the Biggest Loser.

That's it for now. I am off to do something productive with the rest of my day. Enjoy your day and leave some comments!
