A lot of the reality shows are winding up in time for the oncoming Christmas holiday season. God forbid anyone should be pre-empted for those holiday re-run movies.
The Amazing Race is still going and last week, the poker women faced an impossible task. They found they couldn't ring the bell at the hammer the bell place and then they couldn't make par on the field golf. I don't understand why they couldn't have a man help them with that hammer thing. I understand there are rules to the game but maybe they should've just taken a chance at breaking the rules once and taking a penalty. They are poker players. Little did they know that not only would the Miss America and hubby team walk instead of taking a bicycle and incur a half an hour penalty for it too. *Sigh* Bye girls. This week, the pink haired guy and his Dad team had terrible luck and then the producers sent everybody to Sweden to do that haybail unrolling task. This time everybody found the flag and thank goodness it was a non-elimination leg. I found, nobody even missed those poker girls. Oh well, at least the Globetrotters are still in the game. Wasn't it nice for the producers to secure the rights to the Globetrotters theme for the show?
On RW/RR the Ruins, Veronica didn't survive the challenge. Okay, so the challengers really need to unload Casey. She's a total chicken, wuss and very weak at any task. I just thought she was physically weak. Nobody really knew she's pretty stupid as well. For the Champs, she's their ace in the hole and they know it. Evan is looking pretty slimy and Johnny Bananas better not pick on someone who is totally capable of beating him up. I ask again, when are the challengers going to pull their fingers out and win a team challenge already? There don't seem to be anymore weak players to be weeded out on the champions team.
On Survivor, the merge finally happened. Russell played a really chancey game by showing a bunch of people from the other tribe, his immunity idol. Then the guy who thought he was running the show for the Galu tribe bullied people to vote certain ways. It ticked everybody off and he was voted out with an immunity idol in his pocket. Poor Shambo, she was totally in the dark and still is. I have a feeling, she's going to be the sacrificial lamb for Galu at some point. Meanwhile, Foa Foa members are sticking together in their vote. Russell didn't trust anybody and played his immunity idol. I'm betting he just finds it again. He knows the producers will just hide them again. At least the people got fed. That makes up for nobody winning pizza 2 weeks ago. The real problem is, there are a lot of people having to live together again. We'll see who gets really testy hee hee hee.
On the crying fatties (Biggest Loser), everybody went to Washington DC. I think the tourism board sponsored this one. I'm still amazed that some people only lost 80 pounds in 8 weeks. For crying out loud, losing weight is your only job and there doesn't seem to be anything else to do on that ranch. Maybe Activia needs to sponsor this show so people empty their guts once or twice a week. Yeesh!
Dancing with the Stars was disappointing. Double eliminations didn't help to get the no-names out at all. Who's voting? I have a feeling that people actually vote for the pros now. Len must be taking Prozac or something because he's become the "nice" judge. Meanwhile, Bruno seems to OD on Redbull before the shows and has resorted to dancing on the table. I'm still rooting for Donny Osmond. I don't care how good you are. If you're not a star, you need to go. For crying out loud, it's called Dancing With the Stars. The pros aren't supposed to count as the stars.
Top Chef didn't show a Las Vegas episode. Instead, we had an reunion dinner with 2 or 3 contestants from past seasons and hosted by Fabio Viviani. I love Fabio's accent so anything that comes out of his mouth is great. There really was no competing but chefs are chefs who want to make food admired by everyone else so it was fun to see them shop and cook, then eat. Sure they dredged up bad memories of the show but hey, did you really expect them to have those people on and not bring up the, "I'm not your bitch, bitch." and the near head shaving incident? Fabio took the time to tell everyone, you agreed to play, so play (or so to speak). The food looked great and the people were cool. It was actually a fun show.
Project Runway had it's last challenge before the fashion week episode. This time, they ousted 2 contestants and really, the writing was on the wall. Jordana made the best dress but was still out. What? I guess history decides their fate cuz what a hot mess Althea made. Christopher really needs to go to design school to learn to make something else besides halter tops and poofy skirts. The real lesson? Don't make cheap looking stuff and make sure your stuff is well made. Then again, how did Althea make it through this episode? Her dress looked like paper towels on top and a winter coat attacked on the bottom. Also, why did they think Irina's dress was so good? It looked like something I could do and I can't sew. It was a bunch of fabric held up with strings. Hmmm... Well, the winner of the show will definitely be a woman this time.
Models of the Runway was predictable. The girls knew it too. Poor Katie, she was just waiting for the other shoe to drop. I guess it's in their contract that they have to stay and face the choosing part of the show. That's kind of crappy and the episode was pretty depressing. Maybe next season's models will learn to make friends with every designer and walk fiercely. I also notice, they don't model the clothes well when standing in front of the judges. They should have pageant lessons. The need to convince the judges they love the piece of crap the designer has sewn onto their bodies. So the last 3 girls are: Tanisha, Kaylin, and Lisa.
Halloween has come and gone but some of the talk shows had the most hilarious costumes this year. Kate Gosselin was a popular choice. When you become a halloween costume, maybe you're too well known and it might not be in a good way. I loved the Ewoks on the Today show. OMG, I'll never forget that Ewok humping Al's leg. Were those little people or children? Either way, it was hilarious how they kept trying to get at the alcoholic beverages.
Well, that's all for now. C U next week.
