Sleeping Dogs

OK, it has been a while since I've spoken about Big Brother here on my blog, but I have to state this... I feel very sad that the producers keep trying to force the Dani & Nick relationship on America. Yes, they had chemistry in the house. Yes, Nick is beautiful. Yes, Dani was/is cheating on the man she lives with. Hence, my problem with this whole show-mance.

The BF, who producers were so eager to interview when it made for good television has basically been thrown under the bus, first by the letter from Nick to Danielle on her second HOH win and now the Power of 10 appearance. Sad, how the show has no regards for this man - he does live with her (or at least she did live there prior to walking through the door of reality TV.)

Enough with trying to make Nick & Dani a couple - let sleeping dogs lie.

Blindsighted or Blind Move?

So, since I don't subscribe to the live feeds (I would never leave home) or get Showtime (I would never get any sleep) I rely on BB8Dish for my Big Brother 8 scoop. And while I promise to not reveal any spoilers about the show, I will say some of the houseguests are making a huge mistake by taking out a "so-called" target while leaving three more viable nominees safe for another week. So if my boy Dustin does what I think he will, I think there were be big ramifications in the house and I sense that life in the house will take a weird turn. So boys and girls, think three weeks ahead, before you plot your next move... it could mean remaining safe for the next few weeks, as oppose to the possibility of one of your own going home before they are scheduled to, by playing this risky game.

Bring on the Crazy

OK, try as I might there is no escaping the pull of Big Brother and season 8 so far has not disappointed. How friggin' brilliant is it that Jen won Head of Household this week, the girl is insane (and I love it) and mayhem and madness is going to be all over the house this week. So, everyone was so ready to boot the girl out of the house and now there will be a week of them kissing her ass, big time. She's such a wild card, I have no idea who's going on the block - but safe to say, the girl will be trying to eliminate her female competition, so most likely Danielle is going on the block.

Now I just need to stay off those spoiler blogs before Sunday, so that I can generally be surprised at who she places on the block. So thanks to a kick-ass season so far, bring on the crazy!

An Open Letter to LaKisha

It must be hard coming from being the front-runner in the competition to being blasted weekly by the judges - somewhere along the way Randy, Paula and Simon turned their backs on you. Perhaps it has something to do with your song choices the past two weeks - stay away from songs sung by former contestants of the show. The judges do not approve. While I'm not familiar with Fantasia's version of the song you sung last night, which in my opinion you sang the shit out of, the judges blasted you on it. Perhaps you are being out diva-ed by Melinda and Jordis; or maybe the judges have become so focused on the two of them that you unfortunately have been pushed aside, a causality of the cruel fate of a singing competition.

If you go home tonight, it is not because you don't have talent in spades - it's because teenage girls have voted to keep a Justin Timberlake clone around cause they think he's cute. It has nothing to do with real vocal talent - you have it; he doesn't. As Randy would say, "Just keeping it real, dog!" Hopefully this note will all be for naught, and you'll be around another week. But if not, keep your head-up girl, you have made your daughter immensely proud.

Let the Fur Fly

So we are down to our final three Pussycat Dolls hopefuls (Melissa R., Chelsea and Asia) and I for one am excited to watch them claw, scratch and strut for the one open slot in the PCD. This show has been my guilt pleasure for weeks and all three women bring interesting strengths and talents to the show. My favorite part of this weeks episode was watching the other Melissa, who makes a great TV villain, loose the final slot to the girl she constantly put-down; way to handle yourself like a lady Chelsea.

And while I think Melissa R. will ultimately walk away the winner, the other two are equally deserving for different reasons. So work it out ladies, I expect nothing less then a fight to the finish.

Cat Scratch Fever

So last night I caught the encore presentation of Pussy Cat Dolls Present: The Search for the Next Doll and I can tell I'm going to get hooked because it has all the makings of all my favorite reality programs.

2 parts America's Next Top Model = 1 dose of girls living together under one roof competing for one ultimate prize. While being schooled by the figure-heads (in this case Robin's) horde of background henchmen. Mikey Minden playing both Jay roles and looking better then both of them!
1 part Survivor = you know these girls are going to start backstabbing and forming mini alliances.
1 part Workout = the bodies on these women is flawless.
1 part American Idol = don't forget these girls are competing in a singing competition for a spot in the international success of the PCD.

Mix them all together and we have a recipe for a successful show, not to mention the fact that they had an air-born illness on the first episode that threaten to wipe out half of the final 18 is priceless. Keep the claws sharpened and the catty comments coming girls, this could be the guilty pleasure of the season. Meow!

Sisters Are Doing It...

OK boys, you can pack it in - the girls really showed who's the boss last night on Idol. But of course, we say goodbye to two of the lovely ladies, as well as two men this evening. By all accounts there are some front runners already this season and I would be completely shocked if the final two are not women. I have a feeling the men are going to get picked off pretty quickly this season.

But back to the last nights performances. There were only three underwhelming performances last night in my opinion and I'm guessing that Haley Scarnato (never do a song they are going to recap before you sing it and you need to not come across so old) and Alaina Alexander (can't even remember what you sang) will go home tonight. If either one of these girls is safe, I believe Antonella Barba will be packing her party bags and heading back to the Jersey shore.

Underwhelmed Idol

So I never watch American Idol until they have weeded out the bad singers, the drama of the weeks in LA, etc. usually to be blown away by the caliber of talent the show is able to round-up. However, if the performances of the men last night is any indication, I might not feel the season is worth watching. Bad song choices, grumpy judges, lack luster performances from most of the contestants - overall not a pleasant night of reality watching.

My predictions of the first two eliminated are - Paul 'Shoeless' Kim and Rudy Cadenas. I felt they both were the worst of the bunch and deserve to go home, now. So boys get you act together or it will be another season of the women dominating the show. Consider this your wake-up call.

A New Flavor

So it appears that Flavor Flav finally found love, cause VH1 has got our next 80's front-man on the hunt. Hair-metal lead singer Bret Michaels of Poison fame will be the next rockin' bachelor to be looking for love from a bevy of woman fighting for his attention.

With Rock of Love with Bret Michaels, I believe VH1 has entered near brilliant territory. I expect we will be entertained by hours of spandex, heavy-eyeliner, tons of hair products and lots of skin - and that's just Michael's himself. And you know their will be tons of Poison groupies and the occasional stripper lined up for a piece of this sexy bad boy. With this show and Mo'nique's Charm School - we are going to have a great spring/summer reality viewing. Let the games begin.
