American Idol, Ep. 12.5

San Antonio Auditions:


Great singers to watch for in Hollywood:
*my favorites

Vincent Powell (aka "returning guy with ugly boots who was dying to meet Mariah Carey")

*Savannah Votion (aka "girl with the humungous voice")

Christabel Clack (aka "worship leader with a mohawk")

*Ann Difani (aka "girl with the 'pretty tone' who was nominated by her husband")

Victoria Costa (aka "the mariachi girl")

Papa Peachez (aka "self proclaimed black woman in a white man's body who changed Randy's tie-breaking vote")
-so bad he's good??

Sanni M'mairura (aka "the Tanzanian/Kenyan")

Adam Sanders (aka "the hyperventilating/nervous crier")

Bad singers to look up on YouTube if you want a good laugh:

Derek and David Bacerott (aka "the out-of-tune brothers who wouldn't take 'no' for an answer")

Stefan Jones (aka "Urkel with a mohawk")

Ongela Clark Falkquay (aka "girl who painfully shrieked 'Firework'")

Carolyn Jackson (aka "girl who looked like she was wearing a big curly wig")

Long Beach Auditions


Great singers to watch for in Hollywood:
*my favorites

*Shubha Vedula (aka "the girl with the surprisingly big voice who the judges could not pronounce or repeat her name correctly")

*Matt Farmer (aka "army vet who suffered a traumatic brain injury who has the cutest little girl")
Update: As soon as this episode aired, soldiers who served with Matt took to the internet to make sure people knew what he was saying wasn't true. Matt eventually came out and confessed that everything he said was a lie. He did serve in the military, but was never injured in any way. He said that he has always had a problem with lying and doesn't know why he did it. He said he is no longer on the show, but didn't say how he was eliminated. Most people are assuming he was just eliminated during the Hollywood round do to his singing, not because of his lie.

Jesaiah Baer (aka "girl who got interrupted by the fire alarm")

Micah Johnson (aka "guy who has a speech impediment due to a botched tonsilectomy but sings perfectly fine")

Rachel (aka "girl with the self-proclaimed biggest accent")

Briana Oakley (aka "girl who was on Maury as one of the 'most talented kids' who then was bullied and had to change schools")

Matheus Fernandes (aka "the short guy with a lot of heart and a lot of talent")


Bad singers to look up on YouTube if you want a good laugh:

Brian Martinez (aka "guy singing in the bathroom who was told he should audition")

Stephanie Sanson (aka "quiet girl who surprisingly screamed Adele and stormed around the room, flipped the bird and walked right out the door")

--Quite possibly the most shocking audition ever...didn't see that coming. She looked so sweet and innocent, and had such a quiet speaking voice. I don't know what in the world possessed her to be so incredibly disrespectful and make a mockery of the entire show.

--Note: this one's not even funny...it's just bad and shocking.

The Bachelor, Ep. 17.4

One-on-One Date: Selma

Selma promises that Sean is finally going to get to see the real her. Sean takes her in a private plane...to the desert. When they arrive at the airport, she says "Is every date going to be like this from now on?" Really, Selma? Yeah, he's a billionaire and you'll have a red carpet laid out for you everywhere you go. Yep, that's real life. When they step out into the middle of nowhere, her excitement quickly faded. "He took the Iraqi to the desert. I don't do well in heat...at all." This should be an amazing date, can't wait.

Then Sean says that they are going to be rock climbing. Lots of complaining follows, as she says "I feel puffy." Nice. Oh, and she hates heights...even better! You'd think that they choose these dates on purpose for people who say they don't like something. I gotta give it to her though, for someone who normally wears 6" heels, once he started encouraging her, she shot up that mountain like there was a wild animal chasing her. I think it's safe to say she impressed the heck out of him.

After the climb, of course they had dinner. But, not the usual Bachelor dinner. No fancy restaurant, it was an RV park. Yes, you read that right. Who even thinks of that? Very odd choice. But I guess he just really wanted to see if she could handle not being a girly-girl.

Everything's going great, and then the bomb dropped. Sean wanted to kiss her very badly, but there's just one little problem. She opened up about her conservative, strict up-bringing in Baghdad, Iraq. She grew up Muslim, where people don't date in public. And her Mom would totally freak out if she kissed Sean on TV. She said her Mom is not happy at all about her being on the show. She seems to be quite contradictory. She talks about her culture and everything, but yet she dresses so provacatively. So, does she really believe in how she was brought up? Seems a bit like a tease to me.

Either way, Sean wants more, so he gives her a rose.

Group Date: Lindsay, Robyn, Jackie, Catherine, Amanda, AshLee, Tierra, Sarah

The Bachelor, Ep. 17.3

One-on-One: Lesley M.

Sean pulls out the pranks again. He fools Lesley into thinking their date is just the "Guinness World Records" museum. He then shows her that his dad holds the world record for driving through the 48 contiguous states in 97 hours and 7 minutes. The other real reason for this destination is that Sean wanted to break their own record: longest on-screen kiss. The record to beat is 3:15. 3:15 kiss with Sean=dream come true...3:15 kiss with Sean in front of a huge crowd=longest, most awkward time ever. The record was broken and they had fun doing it.

Was there any doubt that she was going to get a rose? Um...no. And was there any chance that she wouldn't say "yes"? Um...no.

Group Date: Kacie, Robyn, Leslie H., Kristy, Catherine, Desiree, Taryn, Amanda, Lindsay, Daniella, Jackie, Tierra

The date started out at the beach. The girls urge him to take his shirt off, and do you think he would say "no"? And who am I to argue with him?

Chris comes out and announces to the girls that they will be split into 2 teams and will battle each other in a game of beach volleyball. Winning team gets to spend the rest of the day with Sean.

Winners: Lindsay, Jackie, Robyn, Desiree, Amanda, Kacie
Losers: Taryn, Leslie, Kristy, Daniella, Catherine, Tierra

The most eventful part of the evening came when the girls listened in to Amanda's one-on-one time with Sean, and they all start to freak out. They hope he sees how different she is with them and how she is with him. Kacie decides that Sean needs to know what's going on, so she opens up to Sean about Amanda...and Desiree! Desiree, what? She totally threw her under the bus by saying that Desiree thinks there is something negative about Amanda that they should stay away from. For some reason she thinks she can't be herself because of this and that if she didn't say something that it was going to come between her and Sean. He questions why she is the one saying something. She justifies it by saying that Desiree is her friend and that she is stuck between a rock and a hard place.I'm still not sure that's a reason to get in the middle of it. He basically told her that he wanted her to be herself and "not like this crazy person I'm seeing". She says that she doesn't like drama, but yet she started off the conversation by saying "I feel like I've been punched in the face". After the conversation is done, she realized that she really blew it. Too late to take it back now. I think you just sank your own ship, missy.

The rose goes to: Lindsay. The 2 of them shared a good one-on-one, which of course involved some smoochin'.

One-on-One: AshLee

The drama starts right before Sean comes to pick up AshLee. Somehow, Tierra falls down the stairs and hits her head. She wasn't really responding and they thought she might have a concussion. She just kept saying that she didn't want to go and she wanted to be left alone. She was such a crybaby! Just go already! She was strapped down and ready to be carted off on the stretcher, but even against their advice, she refused and got up and walked away. Sean went and sat and talked with her....while he was supposed to be going on his date with AshLee. It worked exactly how she wanted, as Sean says "I wish you hadn't fallen, but I'm glad we got this little time together". She obviously seemed fine, so he should NOT have just been sitting there chilling with her!

AshLee does finally get to go on her date, and they go to Six Flags, because he's a kid at heart. They have the whole thing to themselves, until Sean says they are going to be bringing 2 other girls with them. These 2 girls are chronically ill. Sean wants to see what AshLee thinks about doing charity work and sharing her date with someone else. The other surprise about the day is that the 2 girls are best friends who have only talked online and they will be meeting each other for the first time.

The last event of the day was a private concert from the Eli Young Band.

It was pretty obvious that AshLee passed this date with flying colors, so she received a rose. She opened up to Sean about wanting a family and he said the same thing. She also shared that she was adopted at 6 and had been abused. She had him in tears!

Cocktail Party:

Sean pulls Sarah away for some one-on-one time since she didn't have a date. He took her out front and a limo pulled up and she freaked out! She started bawling, "you can't do this!" But then her dog jumped out of the limo and she felt like an idiot.

Tierra got some more alone time...blah! And the she boo-hoos because every time she gets alone time, she gets interrupted. She goes and pouts and says she wants to "punch some walls". She then goes and steals him back after like 1 minute. Ugh...go away already you crazy stalker!

Sean started getting stolen left and right and pulled in every direction. There was some major freaking out going on.

Kacie gets some time and she wanted to apologize for how she acted the other night. But before they could really talk about it, a bunch of other girls came in and interrupted.

Rose Ceremony:

Sean is about ready to start handing out roses, but he first asks to talk to Kacie. So now of course the rest of the girls start freaking out. He tells her that he respects her too much to make her stand through another rose ceremony. He said he thinks that they are better off as friends, and sends her off in the limo.

Already have roses: Lesley, Lindsay, AshLee
Receive roses: Tierra, Leslie H., Catherine, Daniella, Robyn, Selma, Sarah, Jackie, Amanda, Desiree
Going home: Kacie, Kristy, Taryn

Amercan Idol, Ep. 12.2

Kiara Lanier (aka "girl who tried to run the interview")

Stephanie Schimel (aka "girl who caused Mariah and Nicki to fight")

Gabe Brown (aka "screaming rocker with curly hair")

Isabelle Parell (aka "girl who dueted with Keith")

*Griffin Peterson (aka "cute guy Nicki flirted with")

Curtis Finch (aka "Finchy") side note: he made it through, but I didn't think he was that great

Mariah (aka "girl battling anorexia)

Brandy Neelly (aka "blonde country singer adopted by her aunt and uncle")

Josh Holiday (aka "white guy singing Brian McKnight")

Courtney Williams 

Andrew Jones

Clifton Duffin (aka "guy who's parents have never heard him sing")

*Johnny Keyser (aka "cute guy who tried out last season")

Kez Ban (aka "street performer who plays with fire" and "if I am destined to be in the blooper reels or embarrass my parents I'll leave right now" and " girl who sang 'pinocchio'" and"total wackadoo" and "girl who did not want to fill out the paperwork") side note: she said she was from planet earth, but I really have to beg to differ

*Lazaro Arbos (aka "the most amazing contestant ever")
This one deserves an explanation. This guy is incredible. Born in Cuba and came to America at 10 years old. He has a very, very bad stutter which makes it almost impossible to speak. BUT when he sings, it goes completely away, AND his voice is truly incredible. What an inspiration!!!

Watch his amazing performance here

Bad singers to look up on YouTube if you want a laugh:

Melissa Bush (aka "masseuse with the shiny pink outfit singing 'Downtown'")

Kevin Nabity (aka "martial arts guy")

Ieisha Cotton (aka "the 'professional' dancer")

Ashley Curry (aka "the girl studying musical theater" and "the girl who made Mariah Carey leave the panel" and "girl who wouldn't leave")

American Idol Ep. 12.1

And it's back! I will be here every step of the way. For those who don't like to watch the audition rounds and Hollywood week, I will have recaps of who to watch for and who to check out for a laugh.

It's no secret that I'm not looking forward to Randy being back...again. I am also not looking forward to Nicki Minaj or Mariah Carey. Keith Urban is the only one I want to see, but I don't think he will be able to get a word in edge-wise.

A word of warning for those who have never had exposure to Nicki Minaj: you WILL want yo rip uour ears off. Her nasally, high-pitched, squeaky voice will grate on your very last nerve. When she breaks out into a fake British accent, you will just ask yourself "why?". "Why is Fox subjecting us to this nonsense." My suggestion for the entire season: record it so you can fast forward. Your ears will thank you.

The show was 2 hours, but I watched everything I needed to know in a little more than 1 hour.

From New York...

Great singers to watch for in Hollywood:
* = my favorites

Tenna Torres ("camp Mariah Carey")

Christina "Isabelle" (aka "girl who lost a lot of weight and has a big voice")

*Angela Miller (aka "girl with hearing loss")

Gurpreet Singh Sarin (aka "The Turbinator")

Ashlee Feliciano (aka "girl who's family fosters medically complex children")

Good, and should have gone through:

Evan Ruggiero (aka "one-legged guitar hero/tap dancer")

Bad singers to look up on YouTube if you want a laugh:

Michael Buonopane

James Bae (aka "Asian Justin Bieber")

Benjamin Gaisey (aka "creepy guy in a wig singing 'I'll Make Love to You' to Mariah and Nicki")

Albert Chang (aka "foreign Phantom of the Opera")

The Bachelor, Ep. 17.2

One-on-One Date: Sarah

Helicopter ride to the top of a skyscraper, and then a free-fall down the building. Gee, that's original. I think this has been a date on like every single season of The Bachelor and The Bachelorette. Also original "As long as he's beside me, I can do it" and "let's take this plunge together." Come on guys...you can do better than this!

I think they seem to have a pretty good chemistry together. They seem really comfortable.She really opened up to him, which is pretty good for a first date. It went well, and she received a rose. Not only that, but first one-on-one date, but first serious kiss.

Group Date: Kristie, Amanda, Brooke, Lesley M., Daniella, Catherine, Robyn, Katie, Selma, Diana, Taryn, Kacie, Tierra

13 girls, so you know it's going to be a LOT of DRAMA! The date is a photo shoot for the cover of a romance novel. Massive amounts of jealousy, in 3...2...1...

It doesn't take Tierra long to start annoying just about everyone, but it's Lesley M. to get the first "kiss" during the photo shoot. Tierra's eyeballs looked like in the cartoons when they come popping out...aooooga aooooga!

Lesley M. seemed to really make an impression on Sean. She wanted him to make a move, he wanted to make a move. But, she blew it! She got nervous and just started talking about really random things. "Apparently my body language sucked." Yeah, leaning away from him might do that. But, at the end, he did say that it made him like her even more. So, it's not a complete loss. Oh wait...she's going back in! And, NOW she got the kiss. Not near as romantic as it would have been in the moment, but oh well.

Sean's pretty skeptical about Kacie. They knew each other before her coming here and he thought she saw him as only a friend. It does seem like he's willing to give it a shot though.

We get our first look at Catherine tonight. She says she's a vegan, but loves the beef. Get it? Yeah....lame. She seems to be kind of fake. I don't quite know what to make of her just yet.

Selma seems pretty ditzy on this date, what's her deal?

Tierra is this season's classic "two-face". With the girls, she's catty, jealous and cut throat. With Sean, she's bubbly, cute and sweet. She is totally a crazy "Courtney". And she even looks like her too! I can hear Ben (and Arie, who recently dated Courtney), yelling at the TV right now: "Watch out Sean!!!"

Katie. All I can say about her is: what is up with the hair? You are not a cave woman! I can sympathize with her because my hair looks exactly like that when I don't do anything with it. That's why my straightener is my best friend. Get that girl a comb! Clearly her "head" is not in the game and her hair is also suffering. She is not adjusting well and tells Sean that she's ready to go home. With hair like that, he really didn't even try to stop her. And just like the tornado that destroyed her hair, she flew right out of their in the next limo.

And the date rose goes to: Kacie. That was kind of a shocker...didn't really expect that.

One-on-One: Desiree

Classic prankster Sean, decides to have some fun with Desiree to see how she reacts. They are visiting a gallery with some very expensive displays. Something is going to break and she (and some actors) will think that she did it. The funny thing is that Sean is going to be watching the whole thing. Sean was thinking how sweet she was and then he started second guessing himself about what he was about to do to her. But she handled herself so well! Calm, cool and collected. I would have probably freaked out. I like her, she seems pretty cool. It was obvious after their pretty deep conversation about love and marriage that they were clicking. So it was no surprise when he offered her the rose. She decided to have a little payback for the practical joke, and she really kept him hanging before accepting it.

Cocktail Party

Lindsay aka "wedding dress girl" didn't have a date this week, but she seemed to redeem herself in her one-on-one time.

Amanda, holy crap! She is a MESS!!! She is wearing the ugliest yellow dress she could find off of the reject rack, and like Katie, did NOT do her hair. And that necklace, ugh! She looks like a complete sour puss! She sat there on the couch by herself and stared off into the abyss and just ignored everyone. But, just like Tierra, she is completely different as soon as she's talking to him. 

Robyn throws out the race card and asks Sean point blank what he thought about dating black girls. Brave girl. Sean had the perfect answers, of course.

Rose Ceremony

Already have a rose: Sarah, Kacie, Desiree

Receive a rose: AshLee, Lindsay, Robyn, Jackie, Lesley M., Selma, Catherine, Kristie, Leslie H., Tierra, Taryn, Daniella, Amanda

Going home: Brooke, Diana (and Katie, who left on the group date)

Survivor Season 26, My Thoughts On The New Season

We're only a month away from the season premiere, and it can't come soon enough! I absolutely can't wait, and I think this could be one of the best seasons yet! Check out all of the player's bios in my recap here. I have some thoughts about what this season might hold, so read and see if you agree/disagree. Be sure to check out the links to video hi-lights from past seasons...it's so much fun to look back at some of the awesome history that is the game of Survivor!

Survivor Season 26 Cast

Today was a great day. This morning I was surprised by the announcement of the Season 26 cast of Survivor! I am so incredibly excited! There are 33 days until the premiere (Feb. 13), for anyone else who's counting.

Season 26 is the 2nd installment of Fans vs. Favorites. The 1st was 10 seasons ago (Season 16: Micronesia), in 2008.The premise is simple, as stated in the title: favorite players (sometimes debatable as to how "favorite" they actually are) return to play versus first time players who boast to be great fans of the show. There will be 10 players on each tribe.

I will be writing another post with some of my thoughts, so stay tuned for that.

Let's meet the cast, shall we?
Update: 1/13/13: Click on the Survivor's name to watch their intro video.

The Bachelor, Ep. 17.1

Season 17: Sean!

I'm so excited for this season. But, I'm so worried that Sean won't be the sweet, adorable, amazing guy that he was on Emily's season. It's happened to Jason, to Jake and to Ben. We'll see what happens!

First of all, I would like to thank ABC for the abundance of shirtless Sean shots (say that 3x fast!) in the first few minutes. I will expect more of that this season...thanks in advance!

Of course in the opening we have to see an old "friend" come and give advice. I really could not care less what Arie has to say. The best thing to come out of his visit was Sean trying to come up with the best way to say "will you accept this rose?" and even better...how to let the girls down. Sean said he can't use the "it's not you, it's me"...because "it IS going to be them!! Haha! I also loved his break-up speech to Arie...that was great! I could have done without Arie's kissing lesson. I can't speak from experience (obviously), but I think Sean does alright for himself. But thank goodness Sean says he doesn't think he could use any of his advice. Wise words from Sean so far.

It's time to meet some of the girls. I've read the spoilers and know the final 4 girls and also who Sean chooses, so it's kind of hard to want to learn anything about the other girls. Here are my first impressions:

Desiree--wedding dress girl
Tierra--super excited that Sean is the Bachelor...so her dog can have a daddy...ok...
Robyn--Spanish sticky notes everywhere! She's weird!
Diana--2 cute little girls.
Sarah--Born with one arm.
Ashley--She has no idea why she's single...it's just her and her cat + Christian Grey. And, she wants Sean to rip her clothes off and spank her. Yep, she's out.
Lesley--From D.C. and is campaigning for Sean's heart.
Kristy--She is a model who always wants the spotlight...girls will be jealous. And...she's out.
AshLee--She's an obsessive organizer...she talks like she's really depressed.

Limo time!
First one out is AshLee. We don'y really learn anything different than what we saw in the video.
Jackie--She gives him a big 'ol red lipstick kiss on the cheek.
Selma--She whips out a napkin from her...um...dress to wipe the lipstick off.
Leslie H--Her mouth is huge (sorry!)! She says "holy Toledo" and calls him Mr. McSteamy.
Daniella--She forces him to do a ridiculous handshake...she seems a little bossy.
Kelly--She wrote him a song...usually a train wreck but hers was actually really catchy and ahe doesn't have a bad voice.
Katie--She teaches him a yoga move...just the arms.
Ashley P--She pulls a tie out of her...um...dress. And even though she said "Fifty Shades of Grey" he was clueless.
Taryn--She forgot to tell her name and also hasn't watched The Bachelor.
Catherine--We learn absolutely nothing about her and she seems kind of annoying. The way she talks is kind of abrassive.
Robyn--In her long dress, tries to do 2 back walk-overs...she does 1 and totally screws up the 2nd one and falls over. Then, I'm pretty sure that through her embarassing walk of shame she failed to tell him her name. Yes, we have a real winner here.
Lacey--She brought a heart of lace for him so he doesn't forget her "Lacey" is her nickname.
Paige--on Bachelor Pad 3 as one of the fans.
Tierra--Again...she's so glad it's him! She has a heart on her hand...it's open and she wants him to be the one to complete it. Sean walks away and comes back with the first first impression rose (yes, you read that right). Cue jealous girls...NOW!
Amanda--She wanted to get the awkwardness out of the way, so they just stared at each other...awkward!
KeriAnn--She drove 2775 miles to meet him.
Desiree--She brought pennies to make a wish in the fountain with him. He thought she was cute.
Sarah--She said this is exactly how she imagined falling in love.
Brooke--What a creeper! I did not get a good vibe from her at all! She's black, wearing a black dress. Her hair is a weird shade of red and she's wearing bright pink lipstick. That has disaster written all over it! Then she pulls him close and makes some sort of weird cat purr/growl in his ear. And...another one bites the dust. They are just making it way too easy on him.
Diana--She says he looks like Ken.
Lesley--She wants him to hike the football to him, obviously just wants to look at his butt...not a bad move!
Kristy--"The best from the midwest"...we'll see.
Ashley H--"Hi Ken, I'm Barbie"...really original. I think I've heard that one already. She's just strange. I hate the way she talks like someone on the receiving end of an 800 #.
Lauren--Her family owns an Italian restaurant, and she has a message from her dad: break her heart and he'll break his legs.
Lindsay--"Girl in the wedding dress"...she kissed him on the lips before even giving her name. Luckily, being a jokester himself, he enjoyed it and thought it was funny.
Last girl is none other than Kacie B from Ben's season. I've always liked her and I think they would be really good together.

One-on-one time:
Desiree gets first impression rose #2. AshLee got #3. Selma gets rose #4. Robyn gets one?? Really? Jackie gets one. Catherine, and a few others I don't know by just their faces yet, also got one. Annoying Ashley H, the black "southern belle" hasn't gotten one yet. Let's keep it that way!

"Wedding dress girl", Lindsay, is just a tad tipsy, shall we say. Awkward! She kind of wants a do-over on the whole dress thing and trying to kiss him.

But then there's Ashley P "Fifty Shades of Grey" has her beat. She is trashed! Look out Sean: train wreck coming your way, full steam ahead! Someone said "I'm so scared for him...someone needs to go save him." I think he gets it...he said "I brought my rape whistle just in case I need it." Haha! Oh Sean...that's why I love you! Other good Sean quotes: "She is a lot to take in!" "Fifty Shades of Grey" may have become "Fifty Shades of Drunk" tonight. And then he walks her back in the house and...she falls down. Classy lady!
Leslie "big mouth" gets a rose (ugh! why?!). Sarah gets a rose, which boosts her self-esteem. She deserved it...good for her!

Rose Ceremony:
Already have roses: 12-Tierra, AshLee, Catherine, Desiree, Robyn, Selma, Brooke, Katie, Jackie, Leslie H., Sarah, Diana
Receive roses: 7-Amanda, Lesley M., Kacie, Kristy, Daniella, Taryn, Lindsay
Going home: Ashley H., Paige, Lacey, Lauren, KeriAnn, Kelly, Ashley P.

Final words from Ashley P. She just wanted to make sure, that if she hadn't done enough to make herself look like an idiot, that after this, there would be no doubt. She proceeded to say how Sean could have f***ed her and that the next guy she sees can have her tie. And the rest was her just shaking her butt and boobs all around. Sean really dodged a bullet with that one. Whew!

Overall, there were some decent girls for Sean to choose from, I think. But...like all other Bachelor's before him, he did make some odd choices. Robyn? Leslie? Brooke? Other than "Fifty Shades of Grey", those were the absolute worst 3 of the bunch!

Looking foward to another great season! The most shocking and/dramatic ever, I'm sure :)
