Jeff & Jordan Forever <3

Confirmed via youtube video Jeff and Jordan from Big Brother 11 are officially an item. I guess it is back to the drawing board on who I want to be the next Bachelor.. I am super happy for them and hope they can stick it out. Perhaps they can get their own reality show now.

I need $37K stat!

How did I not know that Jeffrey Donovan was auctioning off an opportunity to guest star on Burn Notice and that the winner would also get to kiss him on screen. AHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!

The sexy actor auctioned off not one but two walk-on roles on his hit USA spy show for a whopping $36,000 at his pal Michael Bolton's 17th annual benefit concert for women and children at risk. After two women got into a bidding war over a chance to be near him he said they both could have walk on rolls AND a kiss! Obviously I wasn't there or the two woman would be dead and I would be kissing Jeffrey Donovan right now..

Big Brother Finale

And the winner of Big Brother 11 is... Jordan!!!!! Proving that blondes are not so dumb after all Jordan won the last HOH competition securing her spot in the final two.

My heart was racing during the intense competition between Kev and Jordo. I was thrilled Jordan beat out Kevin and chose to take Nat to the end. Jordan had a much better shot at the money against Natalie then Kevin.

When Jordan won I started screaming. Screaming! I am not even joking, my throat is killing me today. I don't know why I was yelling, no one is sharing the money with me.

I was really hoping for a better reunion between Jeff and Jordan but she seemed to snub him after she won. I hope she was just caught up in the excitement and that they get together after the show. If not, I could always forward my letters to ABC to cast Jeff as the next Bachelor.... I still can't believe we may never see Jeff again...

I am thrilled of the outcome and I can not wait for next Season!!

True Blood Gossip

The True Blood Season Finale was a little disappointing. We spent half the Season watching Maryanne the Manead and then she was killed in ten minutes. The entire scene made no sense and their justification was lackluster. The Bill/Sookie engagement came out of nowhere and we only saw Eric for 5 minutes. Sigh... I found an interview with Alan Ball that has tons of information for next season. MAJOR SPOILERS BEWARE!

Some folks were surprised by the structure of the finale and your decision to wrap up the Maryann story in the first 30 minutes.
Alan Ball: I try to look at the show as basically almost like it’s a novel, and each episode is a chapter. I guess I’m influenced by the fact that when I watch TV shows, I watch the (DVD) boxed sets. Ultimately, it’s just organically the way it worked out. And the season finale last year was very similar.

Why wasn’t there more Eric in the finale?
Ball: There is a reason for not seeing Eric in the last part of the episode, but if I explain it, I’ll be (giving away) too much.

Will he be prominent next season?
Ball: Yes. I had many seasons of Eric planned.

Speaking of which, are you surprised at how passionate the Sookie/Eric fans are?
Ball: Yes. I try not to get involved in that because it just sort of — it’s too confusing. I don’t want it to influence what the show is. Personally, I’m like, yes, Eric’s hot, but beyond that he’s dangerous, and I don’t know if he’d love anybody besides himself. What’s the appeal there? The bad boy? The danger?

Why wasn’t Sookie susceptible to Maryann’s powers but Jason was? Do they have different parents?
Ball: They have the same parents. We will find out what Sookie is (next season). There are such things as dominant and recessive genes. Maybe Jason is fundamentally human but he has a trace of some non-human stuff. He’s kind of a ridiculously perfect (human being). He’s athletic and has that charisma thing, so maybe he had some help in that regard. (Laughs) Ultimately, if you look at percentages, he’s mostly human. Sookie has a stronger genetic predisposition in another direction. People who have read the books know exactly what I’m talking about. People who haven’t, it will be revealed.

What’s up with the Queen’s Yahtzee obsession?
Ball: You’re 400 years old. What are you going to do? It’s something we came up with in the room and we thought it was funny.

Fans are polarized about Evan Rachel Wood as the Queen. A big complaint is that she doesn’t come off scary enough.
Ball: She will. You don’t want to introduce a character you’re going to see later and blow your wad up front. It’s funny because the fans are so rabid. Of course, that’s fantastic. And the fact that they’re so completely wrapped up in the show and they get upset and they think, “I don’t like that!,” I love that. It means people are watching and the show is really affecting them. I think of the show as having a long life. You can’t explain everything and blow your wad in the first episode the first time time you introduce a character. All I can say is keep watching. It will make sense.

Will she return next season as a series regular?
Ball: She won’t be a series regular, but she will appear. Every state has its own vampire royalty. We will meet the King of Mississippi. Interesting things happening between him and Evan’s Queen.

As much as I loved Michelle Forbes’ portrayal of Maryann, the story felt like it dragged on a little long. Why did it take her so long to get to the endgame?
Ball: That’s part of what the queen talks about. They’re always improvising. She really can’t conjure up a God. But she’s so fervent in her belief; she keeps trying this sacrifice and that sacrifice. She’s completely delusional. She killed Miss Jeanette and I think she thought that was going to work. She always thinks it’s going to work. It never does because the God who comes never actually comes. But she so fervently believes that he will, and she’s been believing it for thousands of years. That’s how they were able to outsmart her.

Have we seen the last of her?
Ball: Yes, she’s gone. They destroyed her. She will never rise —which I hate because I love (Michelle), and she was so much fun to work with. She’s really delightful and everyone loves her and we hated to kill her but we had to.

How closely will you follow the third book next season?
Ball: We take the gist of the books, (but) we will depart whenever we feel like it makes better television as opposed to reading. We continue to use the books as templates. But now that I’ve read all nine books there are things that are revealed in later books that we are moving up so that they’ll probably happen in the show earlier than they do in the books.

Will you introduce Alcide?
Ball: Yes.

Have you cast him?
Ball: No. We will also meet Sam’s blood relatives, the super bad vampire Franklin Mott, we’ll meet Debbie Pelt, we will also meet the people who live in Hotshot a little bit ahead of schedule. We’ve already broken four episodes and I’ve spent two writers out with scripts over hiatus.

Have we seen the last of the Fellowship of the Sun?
Ball: No. Just because Steve got humiliated, they still exist. And maybe he’s angrier than ever.

The fact that Jason killed Eggs has me thinking you might restart the Jason-Tara love story next season. Will you?
Ball: Certainly, Jason is going to be consumed with guilt. And he’s going to feel like, “I’ve ruined her life and I’ve got to make her feel better.” Whether that’s wise in any way shape or form remains to be seen. I think Tara certainly gave up on her obsession with Jason, but now that she’s dealing with the worst thing that ever happened to her, she might be more vulnerable to his charms.

Is Tara ever going to be in a happy relationship?
Ball: Happy relationships are boring. We all want them in our own life. But I don’t want to watch them on TV.

Any plans to give Lafayette a boyfriend?
Ball: Yes.

Anything imminent?
Ball: Nothing I can talk about. But certainly we will see more and more of Lafayette. He built a lot of walls around himself. But we will see him get vulnerable next year — and not just being afraid of Eric.

Any regrets killing off Godric? As I’m sure you’re aware the character was very well-received.
Ball: There’s no regret in killing him off because I think that (story was) really powerful. That was my favorite thing about the second book. However, we can always go back in history. He and Eric had a relationship for a thousand years. We can always go back and see him again.

Are Hoyt and Jessica doomed?
Ball: They still love each other. But there will be problems — as you probably could tell based on last night’s episode.

You do realize how awesome those two are together, right?
Ball: I totally know that.

How long do we wait for the next season?
Ball: It’s probably going to premiere around the same time it did this year. We’re going to try to shoot one episode before the Christmas break. I don’t know if HBO will bring the show back earlier, but it certainly won’t be later.

Is there anything I’m forgetting to ask you?
Ball: I’m surprised you didn’t ask who took Bill.

Who took Bill?
Ball: It was Hoyt’s mother.

Nobody puts baby in the corner.. RIP Patrick Swayze

My heart aches with the news that Patrick Swayze has passed away. I have been obsessed with all things Dirty Dancing and especially Patrick Swayze for as long as I can rememeber. When I graduated from 6th grade my parents got me a huge poster and the soundtrack to the movie that I listened to over and over on our record player. To this day that is the only album I still own. Anytime Dirty Dancing comes on television I will stop what I am doing to watch, it never gets old.

Patrick Swayze was a wonderful actor and amazing dancer. When diagnosed with cancer he was so strong, refusing to give in to the disease. In a recent interview, with his wife Lisa by his side, you could feel the love radiating between the two of them. I pray she will find peace and take solace in knowing that he touched many lives with his talent and courage. RIP Patrick Swayze. I will miss you.

The douchebag award goes too...

It looks like Michael Lohan, Jon Gosselin and Kanye West are all in the running for the biggest douchbag award. At the moment Kanye West is in the lead since he stood up during the VMA's while Taylor Swift was accepting her award to announce that Beyonce really should have won. Are you kidding me? What does this have to do with him? Does he represent Beyonce in some way that I am unaware of? How dare he ruin such a shining moment in Taylor Swift's career. I strongly feel that he should be banned from future events. He is not as talented as he thinks he is and really needs to learn how to shut his mouth. I am surprised him and his ego were able to even fit in the auditorium. Since the incident he has issued numerous half ass apologizes and the only time we have seen real emotion was when Jay Leno called him out and asked how his recently deceased mother would have reacted. Shame on Kanye! It is pretty amazing that a 19 year old girl showed more class then he could ever have. The only person smiling at this moment is probably Chris Brown..he's getting a breather from negative press for a moment..

Glee

This show makes me want to sing. Literally. I can't get the Glee rendition of Gold Digger out of my head. These kids are so talented and the Glee teacher is adorable!! There were times it was obvious that they were lip syncing but I think it was just poor cinematography that made it so blatant. It has a lot of potential and I will be tuning in next week. Doe Rey Mi Fa So La Ti Doeeeeeeee!

4146 Melrose Place

I actually got chills seeing the 4146 Melrose Place sign outside the apartment buildings that I watched week after week in the early 90s. It was a blast to see Michael and Sidney resume their old characters but the gorgeous, spoiled rich kids manifesting their own drama storyline can only be watched so many times. Gossip Girl, 90210 and Melrose Place are all starting to look eerily similar. I also have to wonder if the network is just grasping for story ideas, when instead of coming out with new original shows they are just recycling the hits of the 1990s.

Fangbangers..

There is something in the air on the True Blood set. First Stephen Moyer (Bill) and Anna Paquin (Sookie) took their on screen hookup to real life and now word on the street is that (Eric) Alexander Skarsgard and (Queen Sophie-Ann) Evan Rachel Wood are dating too. That bitch! Either they are choosing their latest relationships on closest proximity or all that sexiness is just to much to handle. I just wonder if they say to each other.. I'm hot, your hot..let's do it...

On my six..

The Fall Season shows have not started, reruns are boring and it is making it really difficult to blog.

Thankfully my other half - and by that I mean my boyfriend, not the voices in my head, has saved the day.

He has turned me onto a show that is long off the air but I never caught on television the first time around. When he makes suggestions, I go into the conversation with necessary caution. I am never quite sure what I am getting. I once got roped into watching a two hour documentary about people who lived in the wild with wolves. Then there was a time I watched a show about the guys who clean the rust off bridges. Almost jumped off a bridge myself during those few hours.

Thankfully, the current television suggestion was spot on and he picked a show that I am slowly falling in love with. The name of the show is JAG. JAG is the American Military acronym for Judge Advocate General. The show is an adventure/legal drama. With a gorgeous lead (you soooo knew that was coming) named Harmon Rabb, a former Navy pilot turned JAG lawyer, him and his team investigate crimes committed by Military personnel.

Explosions, guns, romance, laughter, good looking people on great adventures and wonderful mysteries that need to be solved, this is a show for both men and women. Once I get hooked on a show it is important for me to do the necessary research. I was amazed to learn that JAG ran for over ten seasons! The first season appeared on one network and was then cancelled. For the second season and beyond it was picked up by another station and slightly altered to make it more appealing to the masses. I am currently up to Season 3 and we are finally learning more about each character and the main storyline is getting deeper.

Something about the first Season intrigues me very much. It was raw and quirky and the chemistry between the leads was palpable. I loved the easy flirtation that was relevant in every episode. Once it switched networks it became more formal and rigid but obviously that worked since it stayed on air for the next ten years. If it was up to me, I would have left the show as it was filmed in Season 1, but then again I am not a Network Exec, so what do I know?

As mentioned, the lead male actor, David Jame Elliot, is gorgeous and I had to scout around to get more information him. To my own amusement I realized that he played a moving man in a well known episode of Seinfeld and never would I have guessed it was the same guy.

I am thrilled that I have a new show to sink my teeth into, no pun intended, as the True Blood Finale airs in only a few days. I promise to keep the folks updated as I conquer Season after Season. At the rate I watch TV I should be done by Columbus Day.

I wish I may.. I wish I might..

It has taken me several days to write this blog because I have spent the better portion of my time channeling all my energy into making Wentworth Miller appear. Why would I be spending all my time on this you ask? Well on this weeks episode of True Blood we are finally introduced to Queen Sophie-Anne. Queen Sophie-Anne spends her days laying in her faux sun room, fang banging beautiful women (yes, vampires, can be same sex oriented, who knew!?) and playing yahtzee. What day would be complete without a rousing game of Yahtzee?

Bill and Eric look to the Queen in finding out how they can take down Maryann. According to Queen Sophie-Anne, Maryann the Maenad can not be killed. Turns out Maryann is waiting for the god that comes but there is no such being that exists. "He only exists in humans' minds — like money and morality." To take that even further, Maryann thinks she needs to offer her god a sacrifice — she's partial to supernatural beings, hence her interest in Sam — so that the god Dionysus aka Satan will come and kill her. A true death, ravished and devoured by her true god. Um, really? So Maryann obtained all her powers because she wished it hard enough upon herself to make it happen. Are you joking me?! If that was the case I'd be surrounded by Wentworth Miller, Eric the Vampire, Jeffrey Donovan and a shit load of cash. I'd sacrifice myself to them any day of the week. I wish, I wish, I wish... this episode of True Blood didn't suck so much.

At least Jason gave us some laughs when he learned of Sam's shape shifting abilities and pondered aloud "You think Sam's ever turned into a dog and then had sex with a lady dog?" This was the first of two questions that Jason asks about Sam's particular talent, the other being "You think Sam could turn into a chicken and eat an egg he just laid? By the end of the episode I wonder if Jason wasn't so far off with that question.

Don't get me started..

Jeff was evicted..Natalie won HOH.. I can not even discuss it.. Praying Michele or Jordan can make it into the final 2...

My baby is back..

Wentworth Miller as Nate Kendall on Law & Order SVU. Check out the latest preview:

True Blood Book Readers Suck - Literally!!

Dear Annoying True Blood Book Readers,

Stop putting information about the book series in message board forums that are for the television show. If I read one more freaking spoiler from the book I am going to smack someone.

Sincerely,
A very irritated TB fan who just read a humongous spoiler, damn you people!

Sneak Peak: The Hills & The City

Tuesday, September 29, 2009 an all new Season of The Hills and The City begin. Yes, I know it's scripted but these are two bad reality shows I can not resist. Take a look at what awaits us this Season!


The Hills


The City

Isn't it ironic..

A traffic jam when you're already late..
A no-smoking sign on your cigarette break..
It's like ten thousand spoons when all you need is a knife..
It's meeting the man of my dreams
And then meeting his beautiful wife..
And isn't it ironic...don't you think
A little too ironic...and, yeah, I really do think...

As Alanis Morissette said: isn't it ironic when you go around threatening other people, you are bound to get a mallet to the head. Well, maybe that's not exactly what she said, but holy heck, if I could have envisioned hundreds of cliffhangers for the Weeds Season Finale, Shane cracking Pilar in the head with a mallet was not on the list. I am pretty sure Pilar is dead, since I think we just heard her head split open. I hardly had a chance to blink and register what we had just witnessed. It is quite ironic that Pilar and Nancy would talk so much smack, but when it came down to it, Shane is the one who took action. If only a video camera had been recording my face when the whole thing went down because I have never been so blindsided by a scene before. I know I speculated that Shane was on a dangerous path but never did I imagine murder be next on his list. Not that Pilar didn't deserve it, the bitch needed to go. How dare she threaten Shane and Silas! How they will cover this up I have no idea but I can only hope Shane practice's saying "Pilar, who?!" for quite some time.

There was a method to my madness when I chose to quote Alanis Morissette in this opener. Alanis has been guest starring as Andy's love interest in the past few episodes. I have only known her as a singer but she is quite a good actress and very cute too. A lot prettier then I ever remember from her infamous "Ironic" video. I am not sure if she will be in the next Season since the last time we see her she is strolling along with Andy when her lunatic stalker shows up and in true Andy fashion, he runs away instead of protecting her. Something tells me their recent engagement will be short lived.

Drop Dead...Fred?

They got rid of the Fred character (Jane's guardian angel) on Drop Dead Diva and fans are not happy. Myself included! We have watched the first 6 or 7 episodes with him having a major back story only to learn via sparkly envelope that Fred was sent back to Heaven for disobeying Guardian Angel rules.. WHAT!? BRING FRED BACK!!!!!

Other then that minor complaint, Drop Dead Diva is still making me laugh and keeping me highly entertained. I wish we would focus more on how Deb/Jane is dealing with her new buxom bod. Seeing her go on a first date or even (gasp!) have sex for the first time as a full figured gal would surely open the door to tons more laughs.

The Jeff and Jordan Show

Getting rid of Russell and then losing the POV competition has sealed Jeff's fate and I imagine that by this time tomorrow he will be on his way to the jury house. I am truly sad to see him or Jordan leave the house. In an attempt to cure my television boredom I decided to catch a few episodes of Big Brother After Dark. Supposedly this is where things are totally live and uncensored. I have obviously opted into this feature too late in the game because there is no drama, just idle chit chat and boring game talk that really goes no where.

The only reason I am watching is to see Jeff and Jordan interact with each other. You will actually find me laying on my couch watching Jeff and Jordan lay on the couch in the BB house. There is total silence. No, I haven't shut my TV off. They just aren't speaking therefore I am now watching two people lay on a couch. Who knew this was realty TV? I have been doing this my whole life minus the big paycheck. They remind me of Jessica Simpson and Nick Lachey when they were on Newlyweds. The cute banter and bickering. They are especially adorable when they stroke each others hair and sometimes lay cuddling with fingers intertwined. I can't get enough of them! In fact, if they had their own realty show, I'd watch that too. Hint Hint Network TV! Much to Jeff's dismay, Jordan has made it quite clear that nothing more then a random kiss has gone down between the two of them. As the end draws near for one of them I wonder if this showmance will continue into the real world. I am also eager to know Jordan's secret in resisting Jeff and not pouncing on him every time he smiles at her. Swooooooon.

So boring..It doesn't even deserve a title..

I hate to put it out there but it needs to be said. This weeks episode of Mad Men was boring. So boring in fact that I was tempted to fast forward through most of it. I really hate when this happens. A show has a stellar opening season, followed by a ratings rise in the 2nd year and just when it reaches a huge fan base the show bottoms out and doesn't live up to it's own hype.

I try not to judge a show too harshly when a new Season begins because I understand they need to lay down the groundwork for what is to come but I am really disappointed. They keep jumping from story line to story line and none of it is that interesting. Not to mention we have tons of story lines from last Season that they haven't even touched upon.

At this point, I am only watching to see the ever so sexy Don Draper and Betty's amazing '60s ensembles. It was announced that Mad Men has been renewed for Season Four, I can only hope this Season picks up or it won't be returning to my queue for another Season.

Down with FOX!

The Fox Network is pissing me off! My anger started months ago when they moved Prison Break from Monday night to Friday night for the last six episodes.
Everyone knows that Friday night is like the graveyard of television. To make matters worse they refused to air the additional two hour movie that explained the Finale, even though it was shown in almost every other country. That in itself is a real slap in the face to fans who helped Fox reach record high ratings every Monday night for the last four years.

So to bring me back to my rant at the present time, the icing on the cake is that they have decided to stop airing Seinfeld at 7:30pm and 11:00pm. This is like the end of an era! What will people watch now before they go to bed? And by people, I mean ME. Their genius idea is to show The Office instead of Seinfeld. Now, as funny as The Office is, it can't ever compare to Seinfeld. Plus The Office is a show you can watch once or twice and then it stops being funny. I think Fox is making a huge mistake and they have screwed me over for the last time. Here's hoping their ratings plummet!
