What's happenin'

I'm sorry I missed talking about a show that wrapped up the week before last. What can I say? I can't remember everything, obviously.

Project Runway had it's finale 2 weeks ago. I think the reason I skipped it was because after revealing Mila didn't win, that's all we cared about. The collections were interesting. Emilio was all about color, Mila had no color and Seth Aron proved he definitely has his one style. I swear, his gown was made of the same material that Jeffrey used a couple of season ago for his couture look. So Seth Aron won and that was that. Then they used the Models of the Runway show for the reunion show. OMG, the claws were out and the designers let fly those chips on their shoulders. Jay was very resentful of comments made during the season and took the opportunity to diss Cerri who was sitting right there. Ping cried again and Mila proved, even when she apologizes, the cat can't change her black and white spots. I think this show had the most disingenuous apologies I've ever seen. Just once, I wanted to hear someone say, "Hell no. I meant it and still mean it."

Rupaul's Drag Race also wrapped up. The girls had to do an over the top scene with Rupaul. I think the only reason they liked Tyra Sanchez was because she didn't outact Ru. I did like the bitch slaps during the scene and wished they weren't fake. So finally the ending and...Tyra Sanchez won. I was disappointed. Not only does this drag queen have the deepest voice, but has no personality or energy. Whatever. I wanted Raven to win but we don't always get what we want. Jujube was there on the show but as always, was insignificant.

Dancing with the (wannabe) Stars has finally gotten down to the people who can dance. People were so happy Kate Gosselin was gone, they could've shown a monkey scratching it's armpits for the whole show and America would've loved it. So...I'm sorry to say, I can't remember anything new that happened. I'm really sick to death of them showcasing singers when it's supposed to be a dancing show but at least they show the dancers when they pop out for a minute onto the floor. I'm still waiting for someone to drop a big mirror ball onto Brooke's head. OMG, she's so dumb and dull.

On the Biggest Loser, the contestants went to Texas. I guess now was not the time to do that big 72 oz. steak challenge. Instead, the people of Texas were tortured with half marathons and Bob and Jillian yelling at them. Jillian took the opportunity to visit a school and counsel a fat schlub that she picked out of the audience. Um...when you get picked to be interviewed on Biggest Loser, that may not be a good thing. Way to crush a young girl's self esteem. I'm sure she got lots of kudos from the mean girls in her school. Oh my gravy. Then the fatties had to wrangle calves and see who could corral the most. With Sam helping him, Coli won. I still enjoyed seeing the fatties splat in the dirt when the calves got away from them. What did Coli win? A weight advantage at the weigh in. So on to the weigh in after a lot of screaming from the trainers during the last chance workout. Unfortunately, Sunshine and her Dad both landed at the bottom of the board. Her Dad fell on the sword for her and he was voted out. I think it was good cuz the guy had a bum knee. Oh well. Can't wait for the make-over show.

On Top Chef, the well known chef this week was Susar Lee. OMG, he's sexy from every angle but who knew he was so intense? Jeez, so someone doesn't care for your fancy fruit plate. Move on. Lucky for us, he called his wife and she told him to lighten up and get over it. What a smart woman. The chefs had to cook a dinner for the cast of Modern Family and serve it outside and away from the Top Chef kitchen. What's with making everyone drag their food around? Anyway, Susar Lee pulled his finger out and won and another lady chef joined him in the top. I think this is the last of the small eliminations rounds before the champs get together. Ooooh, I can't wait. To have Susan Fenniger, Jonathan Waxman, Susar Lee, Marcus Samuelson, Rick Moonen and Govin Armstrong in the same room is gonna be epic!

As you know, the Survivors are merged and living together. We have found that Candace is wishy washy and Russell has pulled her to his evil side. With her in the group, she seems like that veal calf you keep in a pen off to the side. You're special alright, but not in a good way. I don't know what's going on with the Heroes but they seem to have lost their fire and are proving why they didn't do that well in challenges. None of them are very good. They broke the people up into groups of 3 for the luxury challenge and it didn't seem very luxurious. Amanda, Colby and what's her name with the buck teeth and fake boobs won the luxury. They got to watch an old grainy movie in a stark room with one bed, popcorn and wine. What? No shower? Bucktoothed girl found a clue to the immunity idol and tried to hide it but Amanda found it and then they had a playground fight over it. It looked like something from 10,000 B.C. Bucktoothed girl won and when she returned back to camp, she was stupid enough to share it with Russell. He found it but didn't tell her. We were left with a scene that looked like those poor skinny monkeys who turn over rocks looking for grubs. This time, Jerri won her very first ever immunity necklace. Sandra jumped ship to the Heroes, but unfortunately, Candace switched to the Villains. Is there a sucker tribe? She should be the chief of that one. Anyway, in the end, Amanda was voted out and I'm glad. She had that tired and sad look on her face and she needed to get booted for once.

Next Top Model went to New Zealand and Tyra did something really cruel. She took the girls straight off the plane and made them do go-sees. What? Even the girls who flew first class weren't feeling fresh. Alaysia was not only late getting back from her go-sees, she was ultra late. Angelea won and I'm wondering if the designers noticed she looked 35? The photo shoot was cool. All the girls wore the exact same dress and posed in a pastoral scene with a sheep. That tall thin black girl won again. Alaysia forgot to cry this time and was sent home. Yay! She was sooooo annoyingly immature.

Smallville has become boring. I don't care how many weird bad guys you have on the show, if the people have fallen in love with the star and the premise of him becoming a super hero, you shouldn't mess with it. All I can think is, Tom Welling has something in his contract about a limited amount of time he has to work. Maybe it's time to change the name of the show and bring out those Justice League heroes that we all really love and want to see. We want to see some great ass kicking with cool effects. Where's Wonder Woman and Batman? Where are the funny lines that used to be thrown in once in awhile. Where's the warmth from the sense of family? The producers and writers need to pull their fingers out and fix this show or just let it go. I'm sick to death of Tess and don't care what kind of stupid past she had. Bring back Lex Luthor and his chessgame with Clark and Chloe.

On RR/RW Challenge: Freshmeat, sometimes it's hard to know who the new people are. For some reason, the drinking has escalated and Wes is busy putting out fires. For the challenge, each team had to swim out to a slanted large board with huge bumps on it that was supposed to look like a climbing wall? That was the dumbest climbing wall I ever saw cuz the bumps were bigger than people's hands. Kenny and Laurel won and that birdy girl and her partner DQ'd with an injury for her. Watch out when sliding on wet boards with bumps. It was so nice of the group to send them to the elimination challenge and Kenny sent another unknown couple. We found out, the challenge wasn't done and Wes' unknown couple returned by default cuz the birdy girl's partner drank a beer before the challenge and was DQ'd. Oh dear. Oh well, no matter. We didn't want to know them anyway. Bye!

The Amazing Race is winding down. The teams were still in China and still trying to get around that pesky language problem. I loved Jet speaking Spanish to his cab driver. Unfortunately, the detectives not only had the gay bros glommed onto them, but they had to do the speed bump and then had a bit of bad luck. Not a good recipe and it ended in their demise. Too bad. Poor Brent, at the detour where he had to take time to look for a pig stamp, he had to pee really bad and Caite wouldn't let him. I really felt sorry for him as he started to get more frantic. Too bad they have that pesky 20 ft rule. She said she had to go too and I didn't understand why she didn't go when he went. Might as well take the time to empty both tanks. Anyway, all I care about is the cowboys are still in the race. Does anything else matter? Nope.

The Celebrity Apprentice had another concept task. This time, they had to do 3 radio commercials for a lighting, A/C and plumbing service. I loved that despite warnings not to make raunchy jokes, Brett made his commercial still with a wink. Guess what. It worked. Even though Summer Sanders has no experience making commercials or writing jingles, she took the boss job. Okay. When I heard she was going to give final approval for the jingles, I about LOL. There is such as thing as deferring to the experts. I wasn't a bit surprised that Brett Michael's team won. His jingles were cool and his commercials didn't sound like the people were on crack. In the end, Summer was sent home. Oh well. She had also used up her rolodex so what else was she good for anyway?

I may have missed some things but there are a lot of shows I can't stand. I hate shows about bratty people with more money and time on their hands than brains. I hate shows that preach at you the whole time and I hate fake dating shows so what else is there? I do love 19 Kids and Counting and it's good to see Josie getting to the normal human looking stage. At the same time, the kids are the same and the family deals with them normal and not stagey. I loved Jim Bob trying to get his kids to eat bugs but he didn't insult them or nag when they wouldn't. For some odd reason, I feel like I learn something when the Duggars have informative outings too. What's not to love?

Okay, well, that's it for this week. See you all next week.
