Bachelor Pad

Oh my word, this is too funny.  Last week Blakely chooses the overnight date with Tony and they end up in the middle of nowhere and they get to rough it. 
I about died when I saw that little old 5th wheel they were spending the night in, it shouldn't matter the location or what you're doing, you should enjoy the time and be glad someone thinks more of you then they think about themselves. 
I don't give Tony & Blakely high ratings for staying together after the Bachelor Pad is over.  If she knew what was good for her she'd make it work but she seems to be HIGH maintenance.  Good Luck Tony!!

What?? Chris is still alive, can you believe that, surprising!! 
Ed you are such a tool!!  Jaclyn you're not so smart yourself.  I don't think I would be giving anything up to anyone, not even if the guy is HOT.  Sleep on the floor Ed. 
And that's all I have to say about that!

Big Brother

I think this season is really good!  Can you say DRAMA? 
Ian you want to make a BIG move and get Boogie Booted, fine but be careful because you'll reap the consequences and it won't be too pretty.  ha ha....  Ian you should not have said a word to Boogie before he left the house, you know he was gonna tell Frank, DUH!!!  Now you're getting raked over the hot bed of coals that you're laying in right now. 
I can't believe Dan didn't explode when Boogie and Frank kept badgering him and blaming him for the nominations.  WOW!!
Brittany, shut up, let Frank rant and rave, Ian deserved it!  Ian you could have went all the way w/ Frank and Boogie, but just like a spoiled little child you had to do something to get your way and make yourself feel big.  And you got your gal pal voted out of the house, what is up with that?  Ian grow a brain, one that has some common sense, not just nerd sense. 
Brittany and Danielle, this is Big Brother, not little sister cry fest.  Stop the crying, a little crying is ok, but to cry and cry and cry and cry....way too much!  At least that's all we get to see through editing.
Frank is the man, he keeps winning!!  Good for Frank, he is a beast!!
If they do decide to vote off Brittany good, then Shane can think for himeself.
This whole thing with the coaches going into the game ruined it for the regular contestants.  Coaches, what were you thinking?  Oh, I could win more money!  Well....you're getting voted off, duh!! 
That's all I've got to say for now!

Project Runway, Ep. 10.6

Challenge: Makeover My Friend

Most people embrace the challenge of designing for women who are not model size. Ven, however could not stop complaining about the size of his model. He treated her very badly when the belts didn't fit because he thought they were bigger. He told her she shouldn't feel embarrassed. How dare he tell her how she should feel! He tried to make up for it by saying he was sorry, but it was too late.

Runway:

Nathan
From far away, his model looks amazing...but up close, not so much. Nice shape and color. It's a little too puckered in some places, and those sheer side panels? Ew.
6

Elena
It's so nice to see a look from her that doesn't have big shoulders. The color of the top is a little too pale, but otherwise it's very nice.
9

Melissa
Her model looks great. The scarf print is really interesting. The scarf seems to be a bit too much.
8

Gunnar
You can tell his model absolutely loves the dress. He did a really nice job.
9

Alicia
Definitely not what she usually does, but the model looks great. The front might be just a little too low, but it fits well.
9

Christopher
I love this dress! It is amazing! But apparently she doesn't like the jacket...she didn't wear it, she just carried it on her arm. I don't think she needed it, I think the dress was enough.
10

Ven
I think she looks great and it fits nicely. She doesn't look too happy though.
8

Dmitry
His model looks great and the fit of the dress is perfect. The only problem is that it is a little too safe. It isn't very creative.
9

Fabio
Interesting use of color blocking, not sure I like it. It makes her look off-balance.
8

Sonjia
Wow! The dress is beautiful...what there is of it! Definitely think it needed to be a little longer.
9

Top 3: Gunnar, Dmitry, Fabio
Bottom 3: Sonjia, Ven, Nathan

I can't imagine Ven or Sonjia going home, so it looks like it will be Nathan.

Winner: Fabio (Really? Don't get that at all)
Auf Wiedersehen: Nathan

So You Think You Can Dance, Ep. 9.11

Time for the All-Stars!!

Tiffany and All-Star Brandon, disco
Whoa, she's got some sparkly pants! 11 incredible lifts in thst routine=crazy!  Each one was more dynamic than the last! Flips, splits, split/flips...yikes! So good!
10

Witney and All-Star Nick (season 1 champ), Travis jazz routine!
Travis has never done a jazz routine that I know of...it's usually contemporary. I don't care for the music, and it seems to be kind of slow with not a whole lot going on.
8

Cole and All-Star Anya, chacha with Dmitry!
Love seeing Dmitry again, I always love his choreography. Cole is doing so well in this competition. I think he could win. He makes every style look so easy.
10

Lindsey and All-Star Jacob, broadway
Very cool shadowing...that had to be hard without being able to see each other. The song sucked though...it was painful to listen to.
9

Will and All-Star Katherine, Bollywood
I love Bollywood! Finally a decent routine for Will to dance. He looks like he's having so much fun! I didn't know how he would do with all the fast moves, but he's nailing it!
10

Cyrus and All-Star Jaime, Travis contemporary
I can't wait to see this! Very eery beginning with the yellow lighting. "Life after destruction"...interesting concept. Cyrus with no shirt...me like! Crazy hard lifts, but he looks like he's been doing them for years! His intensity and connection with Jaime is amazing! The ending was kind of creepy! Another great routine by Travis.
10

Cheon and All-Star Lauren, lyrical hip-hop
He looks so funny doing hip-hop! His body is so fluid when he moves, it's like silky-smooth. This type of hip-hop suits him well. I don't know how he would do with the hard-hitting style. Overall it was quite good.
8

George and All-Star Allison, jazz
He's good, but boring and unexciting, as always. Nothing else to say.
8

Eliana and All-Star Alex
Every week, I think I like her more. Very strange routine, but she is so good! There didn't seem to be a whole lot of choreography, though. Standing ovation from the judges!
9

Audrey and All-Star Twitch, hip-hop
This should be good! Yikes, those outfits and make-up! Twitch is amazing! Audrey is holding her own, though. I love the characters they are playing...great acting!
10

Bottom 2 Girls: Witney and Audrey
Bottom 2 Guys: Cheon and George

Can I just say how much I like the format this year. No more wasting an hour trying to wait for them to announce who's in the bottom and who's going home.

Going Home: Audrey and George
I'm sad to see any of the girls go right now...I like them all (which never happens).
Finally, George is gone!

The Next-Baltimore

Gloria Estefan-Shannon Ramsey
Shannon is a choir director who has opened for big-name R&B artists. She gets a make-over and completely chops off all her hair! And she looks amazing!

She sings: Kelly Clarkson's "Stronger"
She starts out really good, but as the song builds louder and higher, it doesn't sound so good. The end had quite a bit of screetching. Definitely don't think she's moving on. The judges, however, apparently didn't agree with me-they thought she was perfect.

John Rich-Jenny Leigh
She sings: Miranda Lambert's "Gun Powder and Lead"
She's really good, but sounds like any woman country singer on the radio today...nothing special or outstanding. Her performance was dynamic, so if the next 2 don't do something loud and upbeat, she will definitely win tonight.

Nelly-Chris Bivins
Nelly's teaching strategy for Chris: make him belt out his song while running on a treadmill.
He sings: Usher's "More"
I'm not impressed with him at all. I don't think he's very good at all. I'm really hoping they agree with me on this one. Haha John Rich said the dancing was way better than the singing and Joe agrees! I actually thought the dancing was pretty crappy too.

Joe Jonas-Jordan Baird
He's a church man, and a cutey! Go Jordan! He loves Gavin DeGraw...ok, could this guy be any more perfect? Joe's teaching strategy for Jordan: sing while playing basketball.

He sings: Gavin DeGraw's "I'm Not Over You"
He is super good!!! Love him! He has a really good vibe on stage, not to mention he's gorgeous! I really hope he wins the votes! The crowd is going nuts!

And the winner of Baltimore is: Jordan!!!! Way to go Baltimore, you chose well.

So far, 2 cities, 2 hot and talented guys...not too shabby.

Big Brother, Ep. 14.18

Synopsis:
Evicted houseguest #1: Boogie
HOH: Ian
Nominated: Frank and Ashley
POV: Frank, replaced on the block by Joe
Evicted houseguest #2: Ashley

Double eviction tonight! Look out, it's going to be chaos! Eviction, HOH, nominations, POV and eviction..anything can happen!

I really hope Jenn blows it for herself and gets sent packing! It's going to be tough for Boogie because he is totally being fooled by Ian.

But wait...Ian just about blew up the entire thing right in front of Boogie! He said it was going to be tough to choose between teammates. I thought Boogie was going to have a heart attack! Ian just barely covered his tracks by saying he is voting for Boogie to stay, but it's tough to vote for Jenn because she was on the original "Boogie" team.

And just as I thought, Jenn is flying off the handle! Who knew she could talk so much! We've seen her talk more in the first 10 minutes, than the rest of the season combined! And what is so funny, is she didn't have anything to worry about...until she opened her mouth.

Votes:
Ashley votes Jenn
Britney votes Boogie
Joe votes Boogie
Frank votes Jenn
Dan votes Boogie
Ian votes Boogie
Danielle votes Boogie

Boogie is evicted by a vote of 5-2 and 1 eviction shy of the jury.

In his goodbye, Ian basically outed himself to a confused Boogie. Boogie then whispered to Frank that Ian is not to be trusted. If he would have kept his mouth shut, Frank might not have known about Ian. This could be bad for the Quack Pack.

Then in the video messages, Ian spills the beans about EVERYTHING including his alliance, the Quack Pack! Boogie is absolutely flabbergasted, as Ian reveals that he was the mole and that he had a hand in his coach's demise. Boogie handled it gracefully as he tipped his hat to Ian. I loved his reaction to he alliance name!

HOH: Before or After
In a moment of last minute hesitation, Frank changes his answer...and it's wrong!
Final 2: Ian and Danielle-2 members of the Quack Pack!
Winner: Ian!

Bye-bye Frank...his one and only chance of making it out of this alive is to win the POV.

Nominations: Ian puts up Frank (no surprise) and Ashley (his girlfriend?). Ashley kind of surprised me, I was guessing he'd pick Jenn.

Veto Competition: "Somewhere Over The Veto"
Ian found the first clover, but he came back with one clover, then the 2nd and then the veto symbol. Winner: Frank! This man is unstoppable! I wonder who the replacement nominee will be...Jenn or Joe. And who will go? Hmm

Shocker...Frank chooses to save himself. Ian then tells Joe to "pop a squat." I'm noticing a bit of a change in Ian tonight. He's talking with a lot of conviction and just a bit of attitude.

The Vote:
Ashley's speech was absolutely ridiculous...she made no sense. She talked about not being articulate (no kidding), and then continued to stumble all over her words until Julie finally just cut her off. She looked and sounded so sad; she just couldn't believe that Ian turned on her. And then Joe's speech...oh my...his speech was done in mime! Normally the screamer, Joe remained silent...his best move!

Jenn votes Ashley
Shane votes Ashley
Britney votes Ashley
Frank votes Joe
Danielle votes Ashley
Dan votes Ashley

With a vote of 5-1, the space cadet, Ashley is going home. Finally! She was really getting on my nerves. Unfortunately, she made the jury so we will have to see her once a week.

Frank is fuming as he huffs and puffs around the kitchen. He was so out of breath after veto, but why was he still out of breath after the vote. He was like gasping for air!

Big Brother, Ep. 14.17

Boogie and Frank are now on a mission to find out who is behind their blindside. Shane is not handling the interrogation very well. To protect Ian, he said he was influenced by Joe. That's ridiculous! He said other people were putting things in his head, and mainly it was Britney. Oh boy, not making things better here Shane. Now Shane just put a huge target on her back.

Poor Britney gets verbally blasted by Boogie and Frank, and then her and Shane get into an argument about whether or not he threw her under the bus and why he always has to make the big moves, getting blood on his hands.

Boogie and Frank don't buy Shane and Britney's defense...they still think Dan is the mole. Dan continues the trend of trying to protect their secret weapon: Ian. He is the key to their whole plan.

Veto: "Candy World"
Shane draws Jenn
Boogie draws houseguest choice and he picks Ian
Frank draws houseguest choice and picks Ashley
Danielle will host

Ian knows he must throw the competition so he doesn't have to get stuck in the middle of his 2 alliances. He's going to have to be a good faker, because this challenge is perfect for him, because it's math. Ashley, on the other hand...oh boy. "You have to double it because it's 3D." Wow.

Boogie gets out first! He is pissed! Jenn is out next (not surprising because she is not a factor in any challenge) .

Frank jumps out to a 2-0 lead...looks like he's going to be pulling himself on the block.

Ian is out and Boogie thinks he just doesn't have his head in the game.

Shane goes out next. Frank folded and he was closest to the actual number which would have given him the winning point. He folded because his number was so far away from the other guesses.

On the last point, Ashley folds which automatically gives Frank the win. Way to go Ashley, ha! Obviously by folding, she would automatically give Frank the veto, no matter what he guessed. Apparently someone did not understand the rules of the game.

Now Shane has to nominate someone else. I'm guessing it might be Joe. But, if they really want Boogie to go he would put up Ashley or Jenn.

Boogie, Frank and the floaters make an effort to get Britney and Shane to put Dan up.

Boogie sits down to have a heart-to-heart with Britney. He wants her to think he's a nice person, and he appologizes for taking out his anger on her. He pulls out the big guns: fake crying!!! Oh. My. ...she didn't buy it.

Veto Ceremony: And the winner (or loser) is Jenn.

Boogie gives a cold shoulder to Dan, who wished him good luck. He didn't even look at him and just said, very sternly, "save it." Wow. Poor Dan, he really didn't do anything to deserve all the blame. Ian better appreciate Dan and Britney taking all of the heat. Dan doesn't want to protect him for much longer...he's about ready to "throw him to the wolves".

And then there's Jenn. Miss I'm-going-to-lay-so-low-no one-will-know-I-live-in-this-house. She actually gets mad! Is she so stupid that she doesn't realize that she's a pawn? She takes the nomination as an attack on her. Honey: barely anyone knows you exist, they don't see you as a threat, that's why you were nominated (maybe that's why she was mad...she realized she has no chance of winning).

Boogie thinks he only needs 2 votes, because he has Frank and Ian's. Little does he know, Ian is saying he's glad Boogie won't be anywhere near him when he finds out he had a part in him getting evicted. He says he learned from the best: "like father, like son." Haha

We shall see what takes place tomorrow. You can never, ever count Boogie out. Just like you can't count Frank out. He's been nominated 4 times and is still there. Boogie has a small chance, because it is not uncommon for "sure-thing" pawns to find themselves walking out the door. And this is Big Brother: "expect the unexpected."

The Glass House, Ep. 10 The Finale

We start off with more of Erica talking about how much she loves Kevin, and Kevin saying how much he doesn't really care about her.

Kevin's plan: get Erica drunk so she'll start yelling at everyone. Mike likes this because the more she gets drunk, the better he looks. Plan=successful (so far).

Round and round they go...talking completely around and past each other. Neither one got anything out of their conversation. Kevin just cannot, even if his life depended it, tell Erica his true feelings without being ambiguous.

As a treat for the house, they have a graduation and roast each other. Way too many good zingers! Too bad they didn't do more of that kind of thing...it would have made the show better.

The results: Mike is out and Erica returns. She might just win this thing.

Next challenge is an individual challenge to see who goes to the final 3. Each one is hooked up to a harness and fly from one side to the other with puzzle pieces. I absolutely loved watching Jeffrey! Every leap, he had something funny that he screamed...too funny!

And Andrea comes out with the win! Jeffrey was close.

America voted and Erica is safe! Kevin and Jeffrey to the Limbo tubes--Jeffrey is out, which means Kevin is safe!

Final 3: Andrea, Erica, Kevin

Some last minute drama ensues over some clips of the remaining 3 when they didn't know the cameras were on them. Let's just say both Erica and Kevin didn't fair so well.

Live Finale: each player makes a final plea.

And the winner is...Kevin from Toledo!

Bachelor Pad, Ep. 3.5

In a surprising twist, Blakely is no longer a fan of Chris. Thank goodness!

I can't believe that after everything Chris has done to Jamie and Blakely, that Sarah wants anything to do with him, let alone want to be in the same bed as him. Yuck!!

As much as I hated Kalon on The Bachelorette, I find him hilarious as he totally made fun of Chris and how stupid he is.

I loved seeing Chris completely fall apart when he realized all his "friends" lied to him.

Competition: The Great Fall of China-carry a tray with cups and plates around tables. Dropping anything causes you to have to start over. Everyone is ticked because Blakely worked at Hooter's for 13 years (or 35 according to Chris).

The girls go first, Blakely does good, but even she drops. There is shattering china crashing everywhere! Sarah could have won, but she got disqualified for touching the top of her cup right at the end...so Blakely ended up winning. Which means Chris basically wants to go crawl in a hole and die. Ha!

Boys are up, good luck! With Blakely attached to his hip, Tony wins. Blakely's mouth was moving the ENTIRE time! Soooo annoying!

Because partners Blakely and Tony are going on the same date, Blakely chose to give her rose to Kalon...and in doing so, making Chris's worst nightmare come true.

Kalon, of course, takes Lindzi on his date. So their date takes place on a bridge...that's been closed just for them...with a chandelier? What kind of a date is that? Kalon thinks it's gorgeous and romantic? Really? Shockingly, he tells Lindzi that he thinks he's falling in love with her and that he doesn't have to fake anything like he did with Emily, from day one. Ouch!

Back at the house, Chris begins to wallow in his sorrows "how did this happen?" Oh gee, let me think. His one last harrah: vote Lindzi out as revenge. Ok, we'll see how well that works.

Time for Blakely and Tony's date. She chose the overnight date (for obvious reasons), and also because she assumed it would be a more expensive, exciting, luxurious date. But...it turns out they are going camping! Lol!)

So then, mid-date, Tony goes to the jeep and turns the radio to a country station. The song that starts playing sounds so familiar. Why? Oh, it just happens to be the song that uber-villain Wes sang to Jillian a gazillion times, and then also sang to Gia on Bachelor Pad! Anyone who likes country: am I wrong or does someone else sing the exact same song? Highly unlikely. Way to go Bachelor producers. Way to totally intervene and make our ears bleed one more time from that song.

Tony's rose of safety goes to...oh wait...Chris has something to say...again. He's the king of interrupted rose handouts. Blakely coached Tony through his entire presentation of the rose just to be sure he didn't screw it up. He eventually gives the rose to Jaclyn.

Cocktail party time. Chris H. adresses all the couples and talks about the true relationships that have formed: Kalon and Lindzi, Michael and Rachel and the new couple Tony and Blakely (who apparently made whoopee on their date...thanks Tony...TMI). Chris then addresses Ed and Jaclyn. Jaclyn is very uncomfortable. Ed says, in front of everyone, that he did not come to find a relationship with anyone and he still feels that way. Ouch! The look on Jaclyn's face was priceless. She looked absolutely devastated.

Time to shake things up. The entire house votes for one woman to go home. The woman with the most votes then has the sole vote on which guy goes home. Wow, this should be interesting.

Michael had the perfect plan: have his alliance vote for Erica; spread the rumor that Chris orchestrated her demise, so when she's voted out, she takes Chris with her. His plan was going perfectly...until Michael said that Chris voted for her, it got back to Chris (who hadn't voted yet). Chris took Erica into the voting room so she could watch him vote for Lindzi. Uh oh...backfire!

Erica gets the most votes, and she takes Michael with her. And...she has the last word, as she says that Holly made the right choice...low blow! It's a game Erica! People are expected to lie and manipulate.

Big Brother, Ep. 14.16

HOH: Shane
Nominated: Frank and Boogie

We start out with the continuation of the HOH competition. Ashley looks pathetic; why doesn't she sit this one out if her back is that bad?

Ian: "I'm falling more than a drunk girl in heels."

Ian: "I reckon we're looking at 500 trips back and forth." Leave it to Ian to break down the competition mathematically.

Britney actually looks pretty good in this challenge. She was going for safety, and wins!

Shane was completely dominating in the race for HOH. Danielle and Ian were also challenging.

Frank: "Slow it down Ash." Haha

Man! They are taking some hard hits to the butt and face!

Boogie was flying, and ended up winning $10,000 to add to his previous $6,000.

Somehow Dan plays catchup and passes Ian, who was going for HOH all along. Must have been all the falls Ian took.

And Shane wins HOH again! These houseguests need to step it up. It seems like it's always either Shane or Frank moving upstairs each week.

The decision this week: stick with the Silent Six or go with the Quack Pack and make a move on Frank and Boogie.

Ian, the spy, relayed a convo between him and Boogie, in which it was revealed that they were coming after Shane and Britney. The Pack met up in the HOH room, and the consensus was that they needed to put up Boogie and Frank before they can do anything. The dual members decided to pledge their allegiance to the Pack over the Silent Six. Quack, quack!

Ian makes another date with Ashley. He's worried about what she and Frank were up to the other night. "Ain't nothing gonna come between me and my flirtmance." Nice parody of Rachel, Ian!

Oh no! Ian lets Britney do some manscaping on his armpits before his date. Britney: "Nobody wants to out with Ian whenever he has pit hairs that are frickin taller than trees." Haha

It took Danielle and Ashley to hold him down! After it was all over, he said he would not be doing it to any other body part.

Ashley looked so spaced out during their "date" at the kitchen table. They barely looked at each other. Wow, that was just awkward, them talking about what he had for breakfast and lunch. And then, she asked him if he went to the bathroom, to which he replied, "no, I'm going to wait til it will be easier." What?? Seriously? Big surprise, after the date, she realizes they are just friends.

Shane brings Joe up to the HOH room because he needs to get some more people on-board with the plan. Joe unloads the biggest heap of b.s. I think I've ever heard on Big Brother: "You're best interest is even ahead if my own. Right now, I will go out of the game for you. Why? Because you deserve to win this game. This is a oath. I'm telling you, what this is is a military. I will...in front of a bus for you. To me, that's a plan." Wow...who talks like that? Of course you're going to tell the HOH what they want to hear, but who just gives up and says that someone else deserves to win over them. I don't buy it.

Out in the yard, Boogie and Ian discuss some BB history. Ian thinks they will do another All-star season, but it will be good vs evil. Boogie says "sign me up for the evil team!". Ian then says if he makes a big enough splash he could be on the evil team. Boogie said he is the most innocent kid and doesn't have a mean bone in his body. But little does he know that Ian has jumped the Boogie-Frank ship and he's using his coach-team connection with them to carry intelligence to his new ship, the Quack Pack.

The houseguests go inside and see a trail of balls leading to the arcade room where there's a question mark cube, which is reminicent of Pandora's Box. Uh oh, that's never good. And, I just remembered that there is a double elimination this week, so, yeah...no goid can come of this.

This brings some doubt about nominations...what if Frank or Boogie come off the block because of this...that would be bad for the Quack Pack, so now Shane is thinking it might be better to go for a floater this week.

Nominations: whoa...Frank and Boogie! Uh oh...the Silent Six is caput. Poor Frank, his 9 lives could be up soon.

Project Runway, Ep. 10.5

Challenge: designers work in teams to create a cohesive line for the working women. The teams will be directing their own photo shoot snd the winner will be featured in Marie Claire magazine.

Teams:
Team 6: Sonjia, Elena, Melissa, Dmitry, Alicia, Raul
Team 5: Nathan, Ven, Chris, Fabio, Gunnar

Everyone makes it clear that they HATE working in teams. You just know that there is going to be tons of drama and conflicting ideas.

Tim enters the workroom to visit the designers  and they couldn't be more of a depressed bunch! Nobody is happy about anything! Geesh! Suck it up people-you will have to work with other people in the real world.

The Runway

Team 5

Nathan-I like the top: the print is pretty...but I can't imagine someone wearing an off-the shoulder top like that to work. 9

Christopher-It's nice, but not outstanding. 8

Gunnar-I like the print down the sides of the skirt. The skirt is way too high-waisted. 7

Fabio-The headband looks ridiculous. The top and skirt are very blah. 6

Ven-Definitely something someone would wear to work. It's simple, yet sophisticated. However, it's not very different from anything you'd see in any store. 8

Team 6

Melissa-Love the color!!! Way too high fashion for the workplace though; especially the almost-avant garde big neck. 7

Elena/Alicia #1-Very workplace appropriate. A little too plain looking though. 7

Raul/Sonjia-I love this look! I love the black top, I love the blue skirt...gorgeous! 10

Elena/Alicia #2-Looks very similar to their first outfit. Pants, jacket, dark colors...all the same. No one would wear something with shoulders that big to work. She looked like she had football pads under her shirt. Yes, Elena: we get it, you like big shoulders. 7

Dmitry-Very interesting use of color blocking, not sure if it's a little too much for the workplace or not. It's still really pretty though. 9

Sonjia/Raul-Love this dress! It looks amazing from far away, but as you look at it closer, the draping and bunching at the front of the skirt is a bit strange. 9

Both teams ended up with the same exact score!

Winner: Team 6
Winning Designer: Melissa
Auf Wiedersehen (again):  Raul

The Next-Orlando

So, did anyone watch this new show called "The Next" on the CW? I thought I'd give it a try.

Here's the format:
There are 4 coaches--Joe Jonas, Gloria Estefan, John Rich, Nelly
The coaches work with an up and coming artist who already has a sizeable online and local following. Each city will face-off 4 singers, and the audience will vote on their favorite. The winner will go up against the winners from the other cities. The coaches get 72 hours to work with their singer before they perform live. Because they have such a small amount of time, the coaches enter the daily lives of their singers, and practice whenever, and wherever they can.

Tonight we see Orlando.

Joe Jonas-Tayler Buono
He met her parents, and he felt like it was a date. She loves him, wait, no...she's a fan. He wants her out of her comfort zone. Some of the things they do: He helps her babysit, she sings to him in the car.

She sings "Secrets" by OneRepublic

I like her kind of stripped down version of the song. She has a very different voice, but I like it. The more she sings, the more I like her. Great pick, Joe Jonas.

Gloria Estefan-Cori Yarckin
She makes Gloria mow her lawn and plant plants! She has performance anxiety, so Gloria tries to figure out where that fear comes from.

She sings "The Edge of Glory" by Lady Gaga

You would never know she has stage fright-she's killing it! Dance moves and all. She has a very strong voice, with some edge (get it?). Wow, that was really good!

John Rich-Michael Ray
He's cute! Haha they are shooting arrows into the water? And John Rich is wearing overalls...and a ball cap instead of his cowboy hat! He wakes him up and makes him sing, he walks in on him singing in the shower...and what does he do? He sits down on the toilet and plays the guitar...which freaks Michael out, and he ends up showing a little too much of himself! Michael actually looks pretty mad, and in a huff pulls the shower curtain, and it and the rod fall down! John takes that as his cue to get out of there. Ha!

He sings "Springsteen" by Eric Church

I don't care much for country music, but he is quite awesome. He sounds radio-ready.

Nelly-Itzy Rodriguez (interesting name)
I never thought Nelly would do a show like this. He's a pretty cool dude-he goes to work with her, and eats some roasted pig with her family He has her practice singing in the bathroom with a toothbrush inside her mouth, and also at her job.

She sings "Firework" by Katy Perry

She's good, but I don't know if she's better than the other 3.  But as the song goes on, she actually gets better.

This is going to be tough! The audience members vote on who they liked best, and only 1 will go to LA.

The votes are revealed and Michael is the winner! He is moving on to the semi finals!
I think I like this show :)

Big Brother, Ep. 14.16

Eviction night! Which of Janelle's players will be going home?

Ashley is so transparent. She asks Frank out on a date in the HOH room, and she says she didn't want people to think it was for game reasons...yeah right. Poor Ian, he's been dumped. But were they really even a couple? They could barely be considered a showmance. But, Ian thought they were exclusive.
Frank decides to take things to the next level, which means a make-out session. Ashley liked it and compared Frank to Channing Tatum. Ok...hold on! Ummmm.....NOOOOOO! Not even close! Not even in the same ballpark! There is absolutely no comparison between them. But, then again, consider the source. Enough said.

This week we get to see Joe's wife and 4 kids. Not big fans of Boogie in that house. I think it's hilarious that they think he needs to shave that white thing on his chin and stop yelling in the diary room. Totally agree!
Welcome back to Jeff! Love him! How cute are those dimples? He's picking Ian to win because all of the strong players are big targets. 

Julie has some fun with the houseguests with some current events trivia. Lots of shockers including Jennifer Aniston's engagement, the Olympics, the Dwight Howard trade and the split-up of Robert Patinson and Kristen Stewart.

Final pleas:
Wil-he basically gave up and said he's had a great summer and he's missed his family, so he'd be ok going home, even though he'd be a great ally to keep around.

Joe on the other hand, gave a great speech, with tons of humor. He said out of Wil's campaign came a rumor that he's loud. He said he's taking human whispering classes at night, and he's getting better. He said something about a Sharon Osbourne game that I didn't quite understand. The last rumor was that Wil was his son. He said that isn't true: his parents are Fabio and Sharon Osbourne. And who started writing funny lines for Julie Chen? She cut Joe off mid-speech and said "Now are you not only loud, but you're also long-winded. I need you to cut it down a little." Ha! And his last and final plea was that if they keep him, he'll keep feeding them.

So You Think You Can Dance, Ep. 9.10

And, we're back after a 2-week hiatus so we could watch the Olympics. I would like to say "Thank you" on behalf of all Olympics addicts. It was great to not have to worry about missing an episode, or spend even later nights trying to stay caught up.

Unfortunately, because we missed a couple weeks, 4 people will go home tonight.

Tonight, they're doing something new. They are featuring previously danced routines from other seasons, that were all choreographed by Mia Michaels. 3 words: "bed", "bench" and "door". I can't wait! Those were awesome dances, and I can't wait to see someone new dancing them to see if they can even compare to the original.

Big Brother, Ep. 14.15

POV winner: Frank
POV Results: nominees remain the same

Can I just say, I'm so excited to see Zingbot again! Woohoo!

Time for Boogie and Frank to make a new pet: enter, Joe. They'll keep him safe if he plays along with them.
Now for the other side? A little bit of lying to try to make Wil believe he is safe. However, Wil isn't buying what Boogie is selling.

Finally, Frank gets to say goodbye to the spirit-tard!

Danielle starts to feel sorry for Wil that he's on the block because he opens up about being bullied.

Veto picks: Frank picks Jenn. Joe picks "houseguest's choice", and realizing he has no allies, chooses injured Ashley to give himself a better chance of winning (definitely his best and only choice). Last pick, Wil draws Boogie. Shane also gets to participate because he won a veto ticket in the last competition.
Ian is chosen as host-this should be good.

Yay Zingbot! Classic zings for Season 14:

Dancing With The Stars, (Some) Pairs Revealed!

I'm disappointed to see that some celebrities are going to be able to dance with their original partner, while some are going to have to dance with someone new. If they were going to bring back people who had the same partner, then they should make everyone have a new partner. I think it creates a really unfair advantage for those who are familiar with working with their partner.  Oh well, I'm not in charge. It's going to be a great season any way!

We still have to wait until August 27, to find out whether Carson Kressly, Sabrina Bryan or Kyle Massey will be joining the cast. As soon as I find out, I'll update this post along with who their partner will be. And, remember, the All-Star Season starts September 24.

Update: Sabrina Bryan was chosen by America as the last dancer. Her partner will be Louis van Amstel.

Returning Couples:

Emmitt Smith and Cheryl Burke
This awesome couple won Season 3, so one would expect that they will do very well again. Gotta love Emmitt!

Joey Fatone and Kym Johnson
In Season 4, this pair was runner up. It will be tough to match that with this loaded field of bigger stars and plenty of previous winners. Joey always makes me laugh, so he'll definitely be entertaining.

Melissa Rycroft and Tony Dovolani
Melissa has a lot of natural talent, but she may have done better with a different partner. Her 3rd place finish in Season 8, might not be enough to compete with the dancers who finished 2nd and 1st in their seasons.

Bristol Palin and Mark Ballas
Oh, how I wish Mark would have gotten a different partner, and oh, how I wish Bristol would not even be coming back. I love Mark, but there are so many other dancers that I love, so I'm really hoping that Bristol does not finish as high as she did in her season. She just was not that good.

Kirstie Alley and Maksim Chmerkovsky
As much as Maks and Kirstie had such an interesting/bizarre relationship on Season 12, I have to think that Maks was hoping for a different partner to have a shot to win. Kirstie made it further in her season than anyone thought she would (or should). Again, with the roster this All-Star season, I would be surprised if she lasted more than a few weeks.

Celebrities Getting New Partners:

Pamela Anderson and Tristan McManus
Fans will remember (or maybe not) that Pamela's original partner was Damian Whitewood (who?). Season 10 with Pamela was his first and only season. This should be a good matchup.  FINALLY Tristan gets paired with someone fairly close to his age. I thought Pamela had potential in her season, and now paired with Tristan, they might be able to do fairly well.

Helio Castroneves and Chelsie Hightower
Helio's previous partner was the popular multi-season winner, Julianne Hough. You can't get much closer to a dance and look-alike clone than Chelsie, so this should be an easy transition for Helio and the viewers. He has great, natural talent, and as a previous winner, I expect him to be at the top of the leader board often.

Shawn Johnson and Derek Hough
Yay! I was so hoping Derek would be back! Surprisingly, none of Derek's original partners came back, so I thought maybe it was because he wasn't coming bad...I'm so glad that's not the case. He's getting a great partner in Shawn, who previously won with Derek's BFF Mark Ballas in Season 8. They should be able to do great things. Can't wait! Shawn recently had knee surgery, so hopefully that won't prevent Derek from creating some awesome, challenging, entertaining choreo.

Drew Lachey and Anna Trebuskaya
I'm not too thrilled about this pairing. I love Drew, but I was kind of hoping to see him and Cheryl again. Anna's a very good dancer (as they all are), but I've often been under-whelmed by her choreography. If she can step it up to Cheryl's level, with Drew being a previous winner and fan favorite, they could be contenders. Although, I'm afraid that nothing will ever compare to their "Save a Horse (Ride a Cowboy)" free-style.

Gilles Marini and Peta Murgatoyd
Gilles is yet another previous Cheryl Burke partner. Peta has proven herself in the couple of seasons that she has been on, so I'm excited to see what this pair can do. Many people thought Gilles would win his season, and with Peta being last season's runner up with Donald Driver, they could also find themselves in contention, if they can stand out amongst all of the fan favorites.

Kelly Monaco and Val Chmerkovsky
Kelly was the first DWTS winner, with partner Alec Mazo, who now, is pretty much forgotten. With her being on so many seasons ago, I don't really remember much about her, but out of all of the pairs, I would think that being out of the DWTS spotlight for so long, and not really being a very recognizable star, she could be one of the first ones to go. Now if her partner was the other Chmerkovsky brother (Maks), I would say she would stick around a few more weeks.

Apolo Anton Ohno and Karina Smirnoff
I was really hoping that Julianne Hough would come back to support one of her partners. She was so awesome with Apolo. However, he got extremely lucky with landing Karina. I think they will make a very exciting duo. As another one of the winners, with so much natural talent and charisma, he should have no trouble being high on the leader board. I can't wait to watch more of Apolo, I just love him!

The Glass House, Ep. 9

It's Kevin's birthday. Andrea writes him a nice letter and he also gets a special message from his daughter.

So, who is coming back to the house? Gene or Erica? Hoping it's Erica! No more Gene, please! Yes!!!! Welcome back Erica! And we're down to 5 players.

Whoa, Jeffrey got the cold shoulder and total "you do not exist" treatment from Erica for betraying her.

Loser this week with the fewest votes: Mike. Not really a surprise.

The 4 remaining houseguests must choose someone to win a trip and someone to compete in the Limbo challenge.

Jeffrey will face Mike (only because he voted for himself). Erica got the most votes for the trip.

Mike vs Jeffrey. Winner is safe, loser goes to Limbo. Mike: "It comes down to Jeffrey being overweight and me being blind."

It's a very close challenge but, Jeffrey managed to come out ahead. So Mike will go to Limbo.

Erica gets 2 votes (Kevin and Andrea)
Erica votes for Kevin and so does Jeffrey! It's a tie, so Kevin must vote and not surprisingly, he chooses Erica.

But, in a twist, the 2 do not have to leave the house this week, thanks to America's vote.

Next week, the winner will be crowned. I think the winner will be either Kevin or Jeffrey.

Bachelor Pad, Ep. 3.4

The most anticipated challenge: surveys. Everyone is required to answer questions about each other. Rounds: love and romance, and who said that?
Women are up first. At the end of round 1 Sarah is in the lead, followed by Jaclyn. Blakely sees that Chris (her partner) is very openly cheering for Sarah and not her. Ha! Chris is an idiot. Am I the only one wondering why he has the most girls fighting over him. At this point, Kalon even looks better than him.

Round 2 is "Who said that?"
1. The person in the house who has accomplished the most is me. I'm amazing.-Ed (I would have absolutely chosen Kalon on that one)
2. Other than to win the money, Ed is only on the show so he won't be forgotten since his season was 20 years ago.-Chris
3. The person who has accomplished the least in life is Blakely.-Nick
4. The person in the house who would make the worst parent is Erica because she eats her hair.-Kalon
5. The first thing I thought of when seeing the girls in their rhythnic gymnastics outfits was sexy thoughts.-David.

And the winner is: Jaclyn

The men are up next.

Project Runway, Ep. 10.4

Guess what-Andrea disappeared! She left in the middle of the night without telling anyone. Everyone was shocked. Way to go Andrea. You're a teacher, and the oldest designer on the show...way to be mature and set a good example.

Back in the work room, everyone is still reeling from Andrea leaving. Kooan, who had been really quiet the last few days, and really not himself, now says that HE is leaving also! They're dropping like flies. Kooan says he wants to find his own way...whatever that means. There are 2 spots that could have gone to other designers.

After all that, there is still a competition. The Michael Kors Challenge: create a look for a woman who's on-the-go. Budget of $150.

Tim announces that Raul was invited to come back. Lucky for him!

As Tim chats with each designer, I can't wait to see their finished products because some of them look really cool.

Big Brother, Ep. 14.14

Nominated: Joe and Wil
Have-nots: Danielle, Briney, Joe, Wil

Opening notes: Frank feels like Superman. Joe feels like he's on an island by himself, as the only person to vote against Frank. Wil decided not to be a target and vote with the majority. Boogie feels on top of the world (or house). Britney is sad to see Janelle go.

This episode was loaded, and I (apparently) have a lot to say about it...this post is really long! Trust me, you will want to read all about what happened. So, here we go.

Planning is in full swing with who to put on the block this week. My thoughts matched up with Boogie's thoughts to put up Joe and Wil. Frank had another, much more risky move in mind. Put up Joe and use Dan as a pawn. Frank wants him to sweat a little since Dan wanted to back-door him. Boogie was hesitant, as he should be, with putting up a member of the Silent Six alliance, even if he is the pawn.

Frank's HOH room impresses Ian, who already thought Frank was cool. But Frank has a NASA hat, which makes him even cooler (to Ian). Wil also is on the Frank train because he used to have flowing blonde hair. Ha!

Joe confronts Ashley and Wil about them not telling him that they were going to vote for Janelle. They both basically say they were afraid of the house coming after them, and they knew if Joe was the only one to vote for Janelle that he would have a big target on him.
Boogie's brilliant plan is to pitch the angle that they should disguise their alliance by pawning a member of the Silent Six. Dan wants no part of voluntarily putting himself in that spot. I don't blame him...being the pawn is something you don't want to be.

As a pawn, you may start, but come eviction night, you'll likely depart.

Big Brother, Ep. 14.13

Evicted: Janelle
HOH: Frank

This episode begins with Janelle in complete shock that she's nominated, and the rest of the house faking that they were just as shocked...pretty funny.
Boogie rightly takes a bow for his unbelievable performance as puppet master. Danielle, his puppet, did exactly what he wanted her to. This is Boogie's house, and they are all just renting time there.

I love Danielle's reasoning for putting Janelle beside Frank: (1) because Janelle hates Frank so it's funny to make her have to sit on the block next to him, and (2) she doesn't want anyone to know she's working with Frank.

Dan kind of needs to work on his lying, saying Danielle acted on girl instincts? You couldn't come up with anything better than that?

Of course at the last minute, someone cracks and decides it might not be the best to vote Janelle out (just like with every vote, to make the viewers wonder who will really go). This week that person is Britney. She has a meltdown and cries because she feels like a bad person for lying to her face. She begins to wonder why they are even voting her out because she wasn't after the coaches. Um Britney: remember week 1 when she left you high and dry?

I'm so glad they showed us some more clips of Ian living the dog's life. I loved seeing Dan make him do a trick for his food.

Ian and Ashley as the real life Leonard and Penny=awesome! I don't know, I think they're kinda cute. I just hope she's not playing him. Wait. What am I saying? There is no way she's smart enough to pull something like that off.

Big Brother, Ep. 14.12

Synopsis:
Veto Winner: Danielle
Veto Results: Wil saved, Janelle put up as replacement nominee.

What an episode this was! Let's get to it!

Danielle and Wil share a mutual crying pity party after she nominated him (after promising him he would be safe). "I'm so sorry to put you up, you're not my target." "It's ok, I don't think I'm cut out for this game. I feel like no one likes me." Wah wah wah

Dan and Janelle realize they need to reel Boogie back in with them because the coaches don't stand a chance unless they all stick together. Dan has a mountain to climb as tall as Mt. Everest to try to win Boogie back as an ally. Boogie doesn't mince words in saying he doesn't trust the coaches because they've done nothing but lie to him.

Ian makes his first move in the game, and tells Britney and Danielle that he wants to join their team. He doesn't want to be in no-man's-land.

Veto players: Danielle picks Shane, Frank picks Jenn and Wil picks Ian. Dan will host.

Boogie knows Frank's on his own because Jenn and Ian "haven't shown much competition prowess".
Britney catches Janelle talking to Frank and gets all bent out of shape, which then also makes Danielle mad. I agree with Dan, one talk isn't the end of the world. It does however, make Dan's plan of uniting all of the coaches look like it's never going to happen.

Veto competition:
Can Shane win another veto? Ian decides to throw it because he doesn't know who he is aligned with and doesn't know what he would do if he won. Unfortunately, Shane scores a 2 which is less than Ian's 3. As loser, he chose a prize, which just so happened to be the veto. He knows he'll never hang on to it. Continuing to "throw it" in the next round, Ian lands on a big 20!

Wil is out in round 2. He trades a veto ticket for the veto. Jenn is out in round 3 and pulls a vacation and decides to keep it.

Ian is out in round 4. His "prize" is called A Dog's Life. He has to sleep outside and people have to walk him on a leash for 24 hours. And sticking with the punishments, he keeps it instead of choosing the veto, a veto ticket or a trip. Boogie doesn't get that choice at all.

Last round: Frank vs Danielle. And Danielle pulls out the win! Frank trades for the veto...big surprise. Danielle then trades the spirit-tard for the veto...big surprise. Bummer for Frank.
Boogie and Frank's last ditch effort to save Frank is convince Danielle, Dan and Britney to try to get Janelle out.

And the punishments are handed out. Frank is basically a cheerleader with a skin-tight leotard on, and Ian gets to wear a dog costume and be walked to the bathroom for potty breaks. Ian is loving it...the other houseguests? Not so much. And poor Boogie. He says he tried to assemble the perfect team: the brains (Ian) and the braun (Frank). As Boogie sits in between his 2 players, Frank is in his leotard and Ian is in his dog costume, Boogie has a priceless look that says "just shoot me now...this just isn't worth it." Lol
As intrue BB fashion, it's time for the newly formed alliance of Dan, Danielle, Shane, Britney and new member Ian to come up with a cool allisnce name. What will it be? In the past, we've had Chilltown (Boogie and Will), The 4 Horseman, The Friendship (renamed The Nerd Herd by Chilltown) and The Brigade.

Drumroll please......The Quack Pack. Wow, that's pretty lame.

Boogie pitches an "Avengers" alliance of strong players: Boogie and Frank, Dan and Danielle, Britney and Shane. Getting Janelle out would be a huge move. Unfortunately, Dan will NEVER go for it because I think he's still clinging to his hope for getting the coaches together.

However...after Janelle and Britney barge in on Dan and Boogie's conversation, it appears there is now a new plan in the works. Boogie said flat out he didn't want to sacrifice Frank, and Janelle did a horrible job lying about whether she would sacrifice either Wil or Joe. Dan finally saw that the coach alliance was not going to work because Janelle could not be trusted. Dan tells Boogie he will talk to the rest of the Pack to try to sell them on going after Janelle.

Boogie may have just pulled off an epic save. He said it himself, he has had to win without the help of challenges, and he proved yet again, that he is the master.

Within a couple hours, the entire game has turned upside down. As the game of Big Brother often boasts "expect the unexpected". A new alliance is now in control..."The Silent Six". Now there's a name! Silent but deadly.

Time for the veto meeting. Some heads should be rolling after this. Danielle chooses to save Wil and Janelle goes up, as expected.

The only question is why didn't they save Frank? That means that nothing is a done deal. From target to pawn, Frank is not safe by any means. Pawns tend to go home. Frank and Boogie better hope that there are no waves between veto night and elimination night.

The Glass House, Ep. 8

Hilarious opening to the show: the house rocks out to Carly Rae Jepsen's "Call Me Maybe". I loved Jeffrey singing and dancing along! Kevin also showed off some pretty good moves! That was great!

I love this challenge: they must speak in a British accent for 24 hours! Some were much better than others. I love that they said Jeffrey's sounded like Forrest Gump...it did!!

Who's coming back? Hopefully not Joy, because I'm sick of Goy or Jene (whatever their celebrity couple name would be...see you can't really even make a name, so, they are not a match!). Woohoo! So glad to see Andrea come back! Maybe now Gene will just want to leave...that would be great!

Twist: Joy or Mike could re-enter the house if someone chooses to leave. $ amounts are shown and if someone chooses the money, they leave the house. And the plot thickens...

And at $37,600, Stephanie chooses to go home. America voted and Mike is coming back. Team Kevin is flying high and coming back with a vengeance. Mike's 2 foes: Joy and Stephanie are both gone.

Kevin introduces us to a new term: vote shopping. He says Gene's showmance with Joy was only to win votes from America.

This week's losers: Gene and Jeffrey. Jeffrey had more votes than Gene so he gets first pick of team members. I love Jeffrey's reaction: "I won!"

Everything is going completely right this week! What a turn of events!

Erica and her obsession with Kevin is getting just a tad disturbing. She better get a grip on reality soon.

In the challenge, the contestsnts were assigned emoticons by America. Using marionets, they drop money into either a personal bank for them or a team bank.

Team Jeffrey includes Kevin and Andrea because the 3 most gorgeous people should be on the same team.
Kevin=cool
Jeffrey=crybaby
Andrea=happy
Jeffrey knew Kevin and Andrea will really try, so he decides to put some money in his pocket. The team doesn't know if anyone pockets the money. Kevin knows America sees it, so he does the honorable thing by putting them all in the team tube.

Team Gene includes Mike and Erica.
Gene=boring
Erica=love crazy
Mike=grumpy
On team Gene, Mike decides to fill his own bucket with some cash.

The winner is: Team Jeffrey, which means Gene is going to Limbo. Mike admits to Kevin and Erica that he took some money. Erica is ticked because he probably screwed her because they were on a team. Kevin's worried that if Mike goes to Limbo that Gene could come back. But...Mike threw the challenge, so he deserves to go. They have quite the dilemma ahead of them.

With a vote of 3-2. Erica goes to Limbo with Gene. America: please keep Erica!!!!! I'm so sick of Gene.

Bachelor Pad, Ep. 3.3

This week's challenge: an obstacle course "Hot Sludge Fundae". Partners chosen at random. Ha...there goes everyone's strategy. Funniest matchup: Kalon and Erica Rose!

Kalon continues to prove what a douche he is. He says Erica could probably eat her way through PacMan style.

Michael is just amazing at challenges! But David gives him a run for his money. Ed continues to stink up the place. His partner came in first and he was still last, not even finishing...bummer. Ed and Jamie have a vote against them. And after review of the close finish, David just edges his way past Michael for the rose and is safe.

David chooses Blakely, Erica Rose and Jamie to go on his date, which turns out to be a prom. Woopty-do. Lame!

Back at the house, the scheming continues. Reid tries to cover his tracks with Ed, snd for the time-being, Ed believes him and thinks he's a friend.

Later, Ed continues to make a fool of himself by hooking up with Jaclyn. "Um...what was your name again?" No words...I have no words.

Blakely and Jamie fight with David for the rose and Jamie is the victor...MUCH to Blakely's dismay. Jamie now does not have to worry about the one vote against her.

Rachel was David's partner, so now she chooses 3 guys for her date: Nick, Tony and Michael. I have to admit that I completely forgot that Nick and Tony were on the show. Apparently Rachel doesn't care that either of them are on the date, because she only wants to spend time with Michael (big surprise). Their date is to a wax museum, where Chris Harrison totally freaks them all out by pretending to be a wax statue. This might be the most fun date/challenge: they get to become wax statues and also prank fans behind glass.

Michael and Rachel get a lot of love as they believe they're just statues, but Tony? Not so much. Someone said he was "what's a nice word for pathetic?" Lol

Chris gives Jamie the "it's not you, it's me" routine...haha!

And the rose goes to...Michael! Shocker! Gotta say I agree with most of America...Michael is awesome. He's always been a favorite of mine. Cute. Funny. Sweet.

Jamie spills the beans to Ed about the plot to get him out...and it hits the fan, in the pool. Again, so many stories, too hard to follow them all, so we'll see when the roses are handed out as to who actually goes home.

My thoughts on the Reid/Ed feud:
(1) Ed: it's a game, where people are supposed to scheme to win money.
(2) Yes, it was dirty of Reid to go about getting Ed out, which was only made worse when it got back to Ed. But, Ed, suck it up, and see point #1.
(3) The back-stabbing was between Ed and Reid, so stay out of it Jaclyn and stop crying over it! You have no true feelings for Ed, so stop taking it so personally.

And going home are: Reid and Donna

Reid's scheming did him in. Jaclyn's persuasion caused a flip and instead of Ed, it's Reid going home.

Big Brother, Ep. 14.11

We resume with the HOH competition in full swing. Everything has changed--it's a whole new game now.
Boogie's unsure of what he wants to happen. Ian's upset that his odds of winning just went down. Joe's upset Frank didn't go home and he has to walk the plank. Ashley said the coaches coming into the game messes up her strategy...um...I don't think she has any strategy...at all. Shane is in trouble because he nominated Frank and Joe (which angered Boogie and Janelle) and neither went home.
Boogie is the first to go at 1 hr 10 min. He wanted everyone to think that he was not a threat. A few people later and Dan "falls"...guess what, Wil figured out his plan, which was very similar to when he won the game.
Boogie to Frank: "Hopefully Ian wins this and we get a week to breathe." Ha! He looks seasick!
Shane and Wil make a pact to go together. Britney, Janelle, Ian and Danielle are left.
Ian tries to make a deal with Danielle. Dan starts a great coaching speech from the sidelines. Boogie and Frank go inside and leave Ian to fend for himself and make plans for the rest of the game.
I can't believe they've wasted an entire half hour of the show with this competition.
Britney and Danielle convince Ian he's safe, and Britney gives it up to Danielle. She's so proud, Dan and Shane are so proud...while she lasted a really long time, technically Ian and Britney LET her win, so she shouldn't feel like it's a truly great accomplishment.
Dan admitted he told Boogie and Frank about the plan to get Frank out. His plan backfired on him, so now Danielle, Shane, and Britney have some damage control to do. It's time to play the lying game and hope they buy it.
In her first hours as HOH Danielle is confronted with a stupid move she made on the plank: she willy-nilly promised to keep Wil safe. She had previously decided to put him up against Frank. Oops. Now what's she gonna do?
"Shirtless Shane" is putting a wrinkle in Ian's flirting game, due to Ashley's miniscule attention span.
Poor Boogie's in a real funk due to the events of the last couple days. I've never seen him quite so discombobulated.
And the houseguests nominated this week are...Frank and Wil
Wil is the pawn, and we know what happens to pawns...

Project Runway, Ep. 10.3

Big Brother, Ep. 14.10

And just like that, the Chenbot is back to looking as big as a house! Ugh! That dress is hideous! It looks like a potato sack!

Some great quotes at the top of the shpw...

Joe: "Being on the block is not for kids." Haha Glad to see he's calmed down.

Boogie: "Coaching 101: If you know there may be a big shakedown, you may want to tell me!!!"

Look out Ian, Boogie and Frank just might want to talk to you.

Ian: "I just didn't want to write a check I may not be able to cash." Boogie: "This is the Big Brother House, you can bounce checks!"

Wil is on Operation Dump Janelle...things are getting interesting. Ashley: "I just don't get it." Haha of course she doesn't get it.

Hilarious crying scene with Janelle trying to apologize to Wil. Even better was Wil seeing right through her like she was a pane of glass! He might not be as dumb as I think he is.

It's so hard to keep up with who is on who's side. People are constantly talking to each side. I would be horrible at this game because I think everyone is telling the truth when they are wanting to team up...so I have no idea who the real alliances are.

So, Frank's dad is Sid Vicious, a famous wrestler. Something I would love to see: Sid Vicious vs Willie Hantz! Now THAT would be a fight! I don't think a head butt would cut it.

America's Vote: no surprise, America is giving them the CHANCE to enter the game. The stakes are high: if they enter there will be no eviction this week and everyone plays for HOH. If they don't enter the game, the eviction happens, and next week some evicted houseguests will return. If just one coach says yes, they are back in.

Britney-yes
Boogie-no, and in the hallway, he tries to tell him not to push the reset button.
Dan-yes, so apparently, he didn't care what Boogie wants; Boogie looks pissed
Janelle-yes

Not sure how I feel about the coaches playing with everyone. BUT Frank just got saved! I'm a little surprised Boogie said no, as he knew it would save Frank this week. I guess he knows he will be a huge target. It would have been interesting to see who would have come back.

HOH Competition
Shane is elligible to play! Boogie still looks pissed as he stands on his plank.

Question: what is Ian wearing? It looks like a homemade super hero costume. And, someone tell him to wear a bro...seriously! How does he have man boobs? He's a skinny little kid!

I really hate when they don't show us who wins HOH. We now have to wait until Sunday for the results.

Big Brother, Ep. 14.9

Anyone else notice that every time Britney talks to another player, she is eating?

Joe is quite the hot-head. His face is turning 50 shades of red! If he can't keep his cool and be nice, he's going to blow it for himself. He did pretty good at first putting on a happy face with Shane, but after a few minutes he starts to lose it...exactly what Janelle told him NOT to do.

Time to draw names for Veto: Shane draws Danielle, Ashley draws houseguest choice and picks Wil and Joe draws Frank! "Apreesh!" The ONLY one he didn't want! It's gonna be 3 on 3. Jenn will host.

The challenge: Keep 2 balls on opposite sides rolling up and down a ramp...here we go! Who can be fast and steady? Not Wil or Joe...they are out quickly! How did Ashley beat them? And now Frank and Danielle! Shane: don't let that ditz beat you! And it's Shane!!!! Veto win #3 in a row! Watch out: Joe could blow a gasket!

Britney is a riot! She does the best impressions! Her "Joe" was spot-on.

Janelle: way to state, and then repeat and repeat the obvious...yes, Frank is a threat...we get it. BUT, he could also be a really good ally.

Here's a first: Janelle gives Britney her wedding ring for 3 weeks. If she goes back on her word, they can keep it! Wow, she's really playing hardcore.

Joe lays it on the line to Shane. He basically pledges his unwavering and complete devotion to Shane if he saves his life, as he's dangling on the edge of a cliff. He says he's even willing to go against his own team. I don't know if Shane can trust him or not. He's pretty desperate, so I think he'd say just about anything.

Oh dear, it's Wil's birthday and he's practically wearing his birthday suit. Seriously Wil, put some clothes on! We don't need to see that.

Panic sets in when Britney talks to Ian. Shane is now thinking it would be good to backdoor Frank. But, Frank makes an interesting suggestion to put up Ian as a wake-up call to him that he needs to start playing the game.

Again, I have no idea what Shane is going to do.

Interesting speech by Joe: the President uses the veto in office...be the President and use your power. All the houseguests were all trying to hide their smiles and giggles.

And Shane saves Ashley! The replacement nominee is Frank. Yikes! Joe must go! Boogie's pretty shocked, so Shane and Britney better watch out. I hope they know what they're doing.
