Dismal, dismal TV

SURVIVOR

There have been no updates for the past two weeks because the Survivor episodes were very disappointing, that it made me lose my posting mojo. In case you missed the last two episodes, don’t worry.. they sucked.

Ulong lost their 4th consecutive immunity challenges in a row, which by now probably outranks Maraamu and Morgan as the worst tribe ever. Jeff (the player) basically gave up in Episode 3 after he ‘injured’ his ankle. In the next episode, the voiceover practically praised him by saying that (paraphrasing) “the tribes voted him out of the tribe, out of honour”. I mean, what the fuck? He quit the game. Osten fucking quit the game and he got a shitty treatment. But fucking Jeff got a glowing review? I mean, double standard much? Thousands of people audition to be on the show, and he practically gave up now that he got his 15 minutes of fame. It didn’t bode well for me thatrumours were some of the castaways were ‘recruited’ by agents (ie. they didn’t apply to be on the show) and taht certainly didn’t bode well for me. Well, as a consolation, his Queen Bee… useless Kim (all the Kims on Survivor has thus far been utterly useless and a waste of airtime) was voted out of the tribe. Thank God. Other thoughts on Ulong… I still like Stephenie. If she was on Koror, I’d be rooting for her all the way. Iberehem is still just meh. James is annoying as fuck. Angie is starting to grate on my nerves. And surprisingly, I’m starting to like Bobby John more and more. I do think, however, that Ulong is toast. The winner will NOT come from this group.

Koror won their fourth immunity in a row. Which surprised me, because the last two immunities were rigged for Ulong (strength all the way) but the underdogs pulled it through. Way to go Koror. Since much of the drama has been focusing on Ulong, not much is known in Koror. I still think Katie = Jenna Lewis. I don’t see how ANYONE could NOT like Tom and Ian. Jennifer got her first confessional in the 4th episode. Coby is starting to scheme way too early in the game. He didn’t seem to do anything useful for the tribe, but his surprise performance versus James helped his team to win the immunity, so that’s good. In other words, Koror still has a long way to go in this game, and their storylines have yet to begin.

AMERICAN IDOL

Dismal dismal dismal.
Jessica - 6 Very echoey
Anwar - 7.5 Good voice butseriously, I was bored to tears.
Mikalah - 4.5 Only good thing I can say about her was her rendition of Son of a Preacher Man was better than the Hawaiian girl last year (and that’s not saying much).
Constantine - 3 Go the fuck back to your band, smarmy lech. I hate him with a passion. Charisma? What fucking charisma?
Lindsey - 2.5 Congratulations, Lindsey. You just won worst vocal of the evening.
Anthony - 6 Decent voice but meh.
Nadia - 9 I’m biased. Bite me.
Bo - 7.5 It was aiight, but the rock ‘tude is getting a bit stale
Vonzell - 7 Nice voice. Performance was too rigid.
Scott - 7 Phat Phuck’s got a decent voice. But he’s no Ruben.
Carrie - 5.5 Must she country-ize every damn song she sings?
Nikko - 7.5 At least he hit the notes.

My bottom 3 picks : Lindsey, Mikalah, Constantine. Should be going home : Lindsey

America’s Bottom 3 picks : Scott, Lindsey, Nikko. Will be going home : Lindsey

*yawn*

AMAZING RACE

Haven’t watched the show yet, but after reading the Play-By-Play, episode synopsis at the official site and chats with those who have already seen it, I have decided to skip tonight’s episode. In fact, I have decided to skip the rest of the Amazing Race until the scheming asshats have been eliminated.

“When the games becomes a game of scheming it has become something other than The Amazing Race.”

Someone call me when they’ve gone back to becoming the Amazing Race again.

LOST

Tomorrow night. 9 pm. AXN. Watch it. You won’t wanna miss it. I’m on Episode 18 of the show and I’m still kept on the edge of my seat. They’re not exagerrating when they say that this was the best new drama on TV last year.
