Yay! or Oh no! You decide.

This week, the shows are starting to wind down so there's more airtime for each contestant. Now we get to see when the claws really come out.

Let's start with RuPaul's Drag Race. OMG, this was the funniest challenge. The girls had to take an old guy and make him over into a woman who's kind of related to their own characters. Raven always seems to think everyone is gunning for him. Whatever. He thought Tatiana picked the best looking old guy for himself. Really? I couldn't tell. It turned out the old guys were queens in the closet and OMG, they were quirky. One had a whole keychain of trinkets that hung from his pierced bellybutton. One liked to wear loud bikinis. One hit on everyone with a penis. And the hilarity went on. I don't know what's going on, but Tyra Sanchez seems to win every week. I don't know why cuz he/she looks totally bored and has that creepy low voice. When the girls did their schtick with their old guy counterparts, I couldn't stop laughing. I was so sad that Pandora box lost her lip synch off, but her dresses were truly ugly every single week and when you have a judge like Santino on the panel, you might want pretty dresses on your body. During Untucked, the girls revealed a whole lot of stuff about their old guys. OMG, it got even funnier. I didn't think it was possible.

The crying fatties AKA The Biggest Loser contestants, had a big surprise this week. It wasn't a good one either. I hate when they bring back contestants who were total losers. They brought back practically everybody and there was Melissa with her smarmy face. Oh how much can I loathe the woman? I think a bunch of the other fatties agree. There was begging, crying, a vote by the real contestants and a challenge and in the end, that unknown black girl and Melissa rejoined the ranch. They were given immunity to give them a chance to unpack for at least one week. Because of this, the other contestants started pecking at each other. The blonde butt'er body girl turned on her friend and recruited her buds. The friend didn't make it on the weigh-in and so was voted out in the end. What is this; Jr. High? The girl who went home is a brunette butt'er body (cute face but her body ain't great) so I can't wait to see her at the finale.

Shear Genius is so boring, I can't stand it. This week, the stylists had to...Oh who really cares? It's the same damn thing every week. The elimination challenge was redundant. The stylists had to do 2 looks for a photo shoot that represented themselves and then pose for a photo of themselves. For some odd reason, Matthew and Janeane thought they were supposed to look like real estate agents in their photos. I thought their looks were totally boring too. Matthew always does 80's hair and if that was harijuku hair, I don't think Janeane has been to Japan. Brig finally was able to do her kooky hair and get away with it. Persistence pays off because she won. Yay! Matthew and Janeane were not pleased. Hee hee hee to them. Jon was sent home and didn't seem surprised. I think he was over the whole thing 3 weeks ago. Bye Jon, we'll miss you.

The Survivors had a turn-around this week. For once, the Heroes were able to win a luxury challenge that won them a lot of protein to eat. They must've practiced their basketball skills or James was their unlucky charm. Then they went on to beat the Villains at a puzzle challenge for immunity. Rob, what happened to you? I could see the problem. The puzzle pieces were all triangle shaped so trying to start with the edges and corners didn't work. The Heroes were smart and started with the script on the pieces. It didn't help the Villains that Sandra hogged the puzzle board. Of course, the Villains got all the airtime to show the conniving. Jerri must've dropped her brain somewhere on the island because she totally got taken in by Russell. I was yelling at the screen, "Run away!!!" Then Coach proved he doesn't follow directions well because Rob told him to vote Russell. When the vote came out, Rob was sent home and the other 2 mice (Courtney and Sandra) looked like wandering sheep looking for a shepherd. Russell may be a total snake, but he's terrific at the game. He's not winning any friends though. For some odd reason, I can't stand looking at Parvati's face every week. Her big donkey teeth scare me.

Project Runway was full of first time incidents. Maya chose to leave the competition for no other reason that, "I'm not ready." Okay, I don't get it, but whatever. Instead of not eliminating anybody this week, they brought back Anthony to fill in Maya's vacant spot. Thank the gods cuz Anthony just breathes life into the workroom. This time, the designers had to do a red carpet dress for Heidi. I'm not sure what red carpet Jay, Jonathan and Mila were thinking of; maybe in their back yard or the one in church. Jonathan freaked out when Heidi said she didn't care for his handmade tapestry and ended up doing over the dress for the 3rd time in the 11th hour. Luckily, Anthony was so exhausted, he just couldn't put all that embellishment on his dress and ta dah? It turned out to be a winner. It truly was an elegant black and white dress. Jessica Alba, the guest judge, wanted to wear it. That's a total shoe-in when the judge covets your dress. Heidi likes glittery stuff, so she picked Emilio's dress and he was a co-winner. Anthony is so cute when he wins cuz he looks like that shy kid in school who's so surprised to be picked first for a team. Seth Aaron proved he's only good when he does pants and jackets. Also, his original model, Valeria was wooed away by DKNY, so Cerri filled in. Black is really not her color at all. Jonathan's last minute dress didn't cut it for the judges and he was sent home. Good, now the room will be less depressing. Maybe my prayers will be answered and Mila and her drab dresses and personality will go home next week. On Models of the Runway, Brandise was crabby and critical. Cerri was just as crabby and critical and she was sent home because nobody wanted her last week. When you're a spring pallete, you look best in pastels and these designers hate to work with pastel colors. Too bad. Bye Cerri, we'll miss you again.

America's Top Model had a photo shoot that was totally creepy. They posed as blind vampires in a tub of blood with a dorky guy in the picture with them. Who would want to bite this guy anyway? Raina gets the raves every week. Alaisia is bitchy in the house but nice and meek in front of the judges. Girl, don't ever criticize a model's mothering skills. Janice Dickinson would kick your butt all over the earth. I'm surprised none of the girls call Alaisia out in front of Tyra but nobody's a narc this year. Anyway, that high school prom queen girl went home. She was beautiful and tall but awkward in her pictures and not in a good way.

The Amazing Race was totally amazing. Everybody started out fair on the same flight to Malaysia. You could tell it was a long flight because they started out in the dark and it was bright sunlight when they landed. The sexy cowboys had a speed bump to do. They finally pulled their fingers out and passed everybody at everything and made it to the pitstop first. Yay! They totally rock and manage to do it without making any enemies. The Dad/daughter team did the thing that's the kiss of death. They switched tasks during the detour. They were eliminated. For once, the editors didn't include any scenes with dumb stuff coming out of the mouths of Miss Teen ditzy and her boyfriend (Brent and Caite). The cops expressed their respect for Brent and Caite for showing respect. Cops always like that.

The Celebrity Apprentice was starting to get ridiculous. It had it's 3rd concept challenge in a row. This time the teams had to make a Harry Potter themed experience for avid fans. I'm glad they didn't just show kids being fans. Anyway, Blagojevich and Selita Ebanks were the team captains. Oh boy! The team captains happened to be somewhat remote from their teams so they had to use technology to communiicate. Blagojevich proved he's an old fart and has been asleep since the 70's. He doesn't know how to type, work a computer or use a cell phone. Oh boy! The men took the chance to riff about it. Once again, we had to sit through that annoying presenting of the check to the charity scene. Kids again? Yeesh. The experiences were interesting. I really like the women's with the people going to Olivander's to get their wands. They had great special effects that were actually pretty simple. Selita really should've taken advantage of Sharon Osbourne's real Brit accent but I think she was afraid she'd hack and cough through it again like she did the last time. She did something I really hate; a fake Brit accent. Sharon wasn't amused by it either. The men proved nobody knew much about Harry Potter. They used unfamiliar characters, places and wrong terms. Boooo! I knew that the women were going to win. You think Mother Nature is hard to fool? Try a Harry Potter fan. Thank the gods Blago got the firing. I'm so sick to death of him selling himself to people and his politician boot licking. Yay! Mr. Trump, there was no explanation needed except why was the guy on the show to begin with? When are they going to do a money raising thing again? Piers Morgan would be livid by now.

I watched the new show, Freaky Foods, hosted by Food Networks Adam Gertler. Ummm...people, you've proven, everything has been covered. There was not one thing that I hadn't seen on other shows about eating stuff. I like, Will Work for Food a whole lot better. Adam is fun to watch so it's really too bad he was given this clunker.

One show I'm totally fascinated by is Ultimate Cake Challenge. I can't believe those 6 foot cakes and then they have mini challenges that are fun too. The competitors seem to interact more with each other and they have a tasting challenge too. When they have to move the huge cakes on their trolleys, it's always suspenseful going up the ramp. One thing I notice, even the bad cakes are amazing. Wow!

Well, eebidee, eebidee, that's all folks. See ya next week.
