Yay! They're back.

I'm so glad to see the Celebrity Apprentice is back. I missed Trump more than I knew. The cool thing is, he gets less patient and more grumpy the older he gets and it's hilarious. The celebrities are a good mix of athletes, comedians, music artists, actors, a model, a chef and even a former governor. Trump split the teams into men and women. I really hate this kind of split because men always work well together and women rarely work well together. I also think the men's side has better money resources and men can do the physical work better. Anyway, the teams came up with names: Tenacity and Rock Solid. Okay. Then the men picked the first project manager for the women and vice versa. It's interesting that both chosen were music artists. The task was to run a diner for 3 hours. The men's team had the obvious advantage with celebrity chef Curtis Stone. He knew the concept. This diner wasn't about longevity and creating a clientele. It was about raking as much money in for just 3 hours. The men made their price points outrageously high with nothing under $100. This was a great ploy to keep the average cheap diner patron out of the diner and keep the place exclusively for the wealthy. It worked. The cheap people didn't even stay 5 minutes and therefore left the tables open for "high rollers". On the other side of town, the women were more in a working but busy side of town. They made their menu reasonably priced and handed out flyers to the average person on the street. The problem? They got the cheap diners who probably wouldn't fork out more than $50 for the dining experience. Since the place was packed with those people, the wealthy "high rollers" were left standing outside and were probably not in the mood to fight a crowd to give money away. Joan Rivers was sent by Trump to judge the better place. She's Jewish. Of course she picked the cheaper food with better service. She didn't seem to notice the shaved truffles on her burger. In the end, the men made twice as much money as the women. At the point where the winner was announced, there was still 40 minutes of the show left and I wondered what the heck they were going to do to fill all that time. Unfortunately, the women were all trying to be nice and not come off as bitchy for the first show. Trump asked them all who should be fired and nobody could come up with a name. They hemmed and hawed for a good 30 minutes. Maria Kanellis finally named Carol Liefer, I think, just because she knew her name the least. The women finally had a bandwagon to jump on and they did. Poor Liefer was the first to be fired. I loved the excuse that rich friends were out of town. That shouldn't have made a difference at all. Piers Morgan never had his friends in town either but would tell his friend to send someone with a check. There it is. They don't really need to have their friends show up; just their money. I hope the women bring out the claws and I hope the men lose once so they can unload Blagojevich. His hair is really annoying, not to mention what's under it.

I've forgotten to write about Rupaul's Drag Race for a couple of weeks. It's actually been very fun and funny with the drag queens having to do everything from celebrity impersonations to doing a commercial as a team. This week, they did a photo where they were both the groom and the bride. Tyra is really annoying and bitchy which is weird since he's straight. At least I think he is, since he's got a kid. For some odd reason, I just have to laugh out loud when drag queens cry. So I'm not sure who got booted but I have to say Pandora had the ugliest wedding dress I've seen since my cousin's wedding. I think Morgan got the chop.

On the Biggest Loser, the crying fatties had to experience the real world again. Right.... Okay so they had an 8 hour job to do for 5 days but who gets to be chauffeured to and from work, has a free gym before and after work, has free food to eat at work and at home, doesn't have any homelife to deal with and has a job where it only sucks for one week? Only on TV. Not to mention, the fatties are being paid TV show wages. Most people can't even find a job these days. Whatever. I loved that Sam forgot his lunch but what a great time to advertise Subway. I'm thinking one of the PA's (production assistants) hid his lunch. One good thing about the work week, it really gave us a rest from Bob and Jillian. They only showed up in a bit at the beginning to complain and then at the end of the week to work the heck out of the contestants before the weigh-in. It was hilarious that when the gym was supposed to close at 7pm, they turned out the lights on the fatties. So, the blue team was able to pull out the win this week and amidst a lot of tears, an older woman was voted out. That was smart because losing Sam meant losing any hope of winning challenges that took any strength. I'm thinking it wasn't really a surprise because the person voted out took it really well. Something tells me the team had a meeting without the cameras present. Tsk tsk...that's not good for television. Hee hee hee

Shear Genius is getting to be redundant already. This week, they had to do a precision cut for the short cut challenge and then for the elimination challenge, they had to give wanna be starlets 2 different looks for head shots. These starlets have no chance of being stars cuz half were homely and the other half had no personality or really annoying personality. Really? Your idea of a star is the Obama girl? Wow, tacky! Why do hairstylists from Miami think they're so good? Anyway, the woman stylists from Miami was booted and rightly so. She took a 19 year old and made her look 30. That's not good when they're trying to be stars. I was surprised nobody colored anybody's hair but oh well. Brig may be kooky, but she continues to show she knows her stuff. My money is on either Janeane or her buddy boy cuz they keep winning the challenges.

Survivor was very interesting and proved the Heroes really are all brawn and no brains. Russell did find the immunity idol. I never doubted he wouldn't. The luxury challenge wasn't worth anything just chocolate and swimming in a salt water cove. Except for the difference in the menu, there wasn't much protein except milk so I don't think the Heroes really tried that hard and all it resulted in was injuring one of their strongest players; James. The game was the old wrestle for a football that you throw to a teammate on a platform for them to throw into a net on the other side of the court. I still don't understand why the Heroes aren't any good at sinking baskets. With all that leisure time, you'd think they'd practice at things like throwing at targets, tying and untying knots, and throwing things into containers. I think they're overconfident in their athletic abilities. For the immunity challenge, the producers keep coming up with games that utilize Boston Rob's amazing puzzle abilities. This time it was the old blindfolded team with one caller leading them to stumble around and find large puzzle pieces. When they got all the pieces together, then they could put it together without the blindfolds. I think they should've shook it up and made the people keep the blindfolds on when putting the puzzle together while the caller kept bossing people around. Since James is the lame one and dumber than toast, it probably would've only pointed out what a moron he is. I loved the team of Boston Rob and stick figure Courtney trying to pick up the big heavy pieces together. She kept dropping them on his feet. It was hilarious and I'm sure a lot of cursing was edited out. Either that or Rob is just nicer than we thought. Okay, blindfolded or not, the Villains won again. So did the Heroes take the opportunity to boot the gimp in the group with the busted knee? No, they voted out the valiant fireman, Tom. Oh well, he's already won a million bucks before. At this point, they've proved having more brawn on the team isn't helping anyway. James needs to shut up at tribal council because we already think he's stupid. He doesn't have to open his mouth and prove it every week. I think the Villains have all the rest of the challenges in the bag because the only strong people on the Heroes team are Colby, JT and the blond chick.

Project Runway had an interesting challenge. The designers had to make a look inspired by one of the 4 elements of fire, water, air and earth. What is this, the middle ages? I expected to see a lot of green, red and blue but there was hardly any. People tried to be more abstract about it thinking of smoke, laughter, night sky, explosions, tornadoes, etc. Amy's outfit was supposed to look like an explosion but only looked like a mushroom cloud with the model sporting a lot of frizzy blond hair over her boobs. Seth Aron had an interesting look with his model sporting metallic spats and a black studded coat that looked like the skyline of New York at Midnight. The dress that looked like laughter won because it had color and was very striking on the model. Ben was sent home for his shark inspired suit that made his model look like she had a penis. That's never good. Everybody was creeped out, including all of the models. I think Ben saw how successful his pal, Seth Aron, was with his pantsuits and wanted to do one too. Note to all; stick to what you're good at. He should've saved the pants for a team challenge.

Models of the Runway lost their villain and now they're boring. They did show the models eating. The part of the show I look forward to is the elimination. The designers stuck with their same models this time, except Emilio. Yay for Emilio. He keeps Heidi from making the designers choose different models. I wish she would anyway. Poor Alison. Her designer had been booted so she was left out and sent home.

The Amazing Race went to France. I notice they don't show how much money the teams are given and some teams aren't even shown at their starting time. What's up? The New York cops are proving to be smart and savvy. They asked a postman for directions. Good thinking. It's a good thing they didn't make them eat French food except a baguette. I liked that the gay guys said they only had $20. It's probably the money they were given at the beginning of the leg. Hello guys. You're not supposed to spend the money on crapola but I'm sure there's not a perfume or scarf they can pass up. The detour took the teams to a WW2 French/German battle. I can't believe it went on for more than 3 hours. Really? I thought the French usually surrendered before lunch unless someone like the Americans or British came to rescue them. The Asian/oriental team was U-turned but good thing cuz I don't think his busted knee could take much more of the race. Morse Code is harder than it looks. The gay team let the cowboys run by them. Hey ladies! You are in a race. Miss Teen Ditzy and her boyfriend failed to get their clue after the detour. How the heck did they know where to go? I think something important was left on the editing floor. They had to bike back, get the clue and bike back to the pit stop. They didn't lose their placing though. The Big Brother winner and her lugheaded boyfriend team had to go through a speed bump but still made it to the pit stop. The oriental team didn't make it through their u-turn. Bye! All I care is, the hot cowboys are still in the race.

That's all for now. C-U next week. Stay tuned.
