America's Next Top Model

With Ashley out we head to week two. The girls are waking up after their first vote off and there is Tyra mail already. They head off to Louis Liccardi hair salon. They are going to fuck with the girls to see which ones complains first. One down, Cassandra is crying like a baby and we know Trya does not like that. The girls love the fact that she is crying. With a few snips it is off and it is nothing but drama. She did do it. The girls do not look happy and they are getting perhaps about a 3000 dollar hair cut. So far each girl looks 100 percent better. Wow Nik looked incredible and so did Ebony.

Cassandra is on the phone crying to her boyfriend but she looks better. So now they get 500 bucks to pick out an outfit. Very sad when you give money to hot young chics to shop..oh wait, snap that is called dating and I am a little guilty of the myself. The girls do not look much different. Lisa wins and get to choose Kim the boy and ebony. Do not be afraid of fashion, always dress up. Lisa is making a lot of enemies. Even her friends.

Back from commercial. Up at 6 am for their shoot. On a farm. They pick a partner. Twist is that it is their rival now. Get ing touched up. Nik Vs Bre. I love both girls. Outfit is old west outfit. Both girls look good. Coryn and Sarah. Both lok good. Lisa VS Ebony. Lisa is too hight on herself. Now Ebony. Lisa has freaked out. Nicole and Diane. Kyle and Kim. Kyle looks good and so does Kim. Cassandra and Jayla. Jayla has a strange lip thing. Cassandra was ver uncomfortable. The girls head back to the house and get the mail for the next elimination.

Back from commercial. Trya looks good. Sarah and Coryn first two up. Coryn looks good and better. Kyle and Kim. Winner Kim. Cassandra and Jayla. Winner Tie. Ebony and Lisa Winner is Lisa. Nicole and Diane.. Winner Nicole. Nik and Bre. Winner both look great.

The Amazing Race

Families are: Gaghan Family from CT. The kids are too young. Linz family.. Three guys and one chic all in their 20s. Paolo family, two older parents and two boys that are late teens. The Black family who are black. The family do karate together. Kids too young. Dad and three hot chicks.. That was disturbing. Weaver family. Dad is dead and there are two hot daughters. Aielllo family, dad and three son and laws. Shroeder family. Dad and step mom..two kids. I can see the problems here. I hate you I hate you I hate you. Godlewski, four blonde chicks..I think the producer likes blond chicks. Rogers family two and two. Dad thinks guys are better. They are meeting in Brooklyn. Under the the BK bridge. BK in the house. I think the younger kids will prove to be a liability. Rules are read and we are ready to start. First prod placement was GMC trucks. No idea why they are sprinting. First to Soho and they have to find eastern mt sports. Get supplies. One lady took a dive. Already we are seeing the older kids are going to be really pissed at the parents if they are slow. They are racing through the city in SUVs. I have done that. The girls are using sex to get maps. FOr the Weaver family I cannot tell if the one kid is a girl or a guy. Lots of fighting going on. Now they are going to 91st street to a hotdog stand. At park and lexington.. Easy run up park.

AFter first break the teams are still finding there way through the streets of York. Lots of screaming going on with the girl teams and it is so annoying. The father with the step mom is a freak. The aiello boyz are freaks. Now they have to find Washington crossing in PA. I know exactly where it is. I would be in first place right now. This is just too much tv for me tonight. Three shows that I want to watch are all on at the same hour tonight. Right now the Paolo family is in last place. Yankee sucks are being yelled at the family from Boston. I actually like the Black family with their young kids and the other family with the young kids. Most even tempered right now.

They have to row across the river they get a flag and bring it back. I hope they understand the currents of the river. Water flow. The aiello family which I stated up top are not the freaks. They are in first right now and doing well on the river.

Now in they have to go to Philly where they will camp out for the night The Perv Dad with his daughters are freaky. He just keeps talking about his daughter. You are in a race for god sake stop checking out your daughters. The Black family is in the boat and the father is telling everyone to paddle but him and his wife are not doing anything. They are floating down the river. Although the CFS does not look fast rest assured it is.

The next day starts and it is raining. They are heading into Lancaster county. Build it or buggy it. Take the buggy. The Weaver family lost control of their buggy and ran over the mom. The family freaked out since there dad was hit by a car and killed. The little kids are singing she will be coming round the mountain pissed off some people. It looks as if building it was the better option for this one.

First Family there... Godalewski chix are team number 1. They scream way too much but they won 20 g for being first. Gaghans are team 2 and Weavers are team 3. The last family is the Black's. They have been eliminated. Sometimes you win and sometimes you don't, the father is sad but not disappointed.

America's Next Top Model

Tonight brings the first episode of ANTM. Or as I like to call it Auntie M. Changes this year include the release of the first supermodel whatever her name was. Disputes in the off season cost her the job. Back in Beverly Hill and the two J's walk up. The final 13 are being told what is expected from them from the two Queens. Today they are going take a tour of the Stars home with Robin Leech. What a little pervert he is.. Man after my own heart. So off they go to Rodeo Drive. They are saving the last home.. Whose house is it. It is where the girls are going to live. The house has a pool and it look like a department store. Each room has something different. The girls are crying. That scares me that hats, bags and shoes can make you cry. The one girl is a lesbo and she looks like a little boy. Ouch, the next statement may sound gay but she is cute. The girls are already beginning to hate one another. Where is the love. 13 chicks and the hate is starting. 4 pm and the limo shows up. Stretch Navi with bling wheel spinners. Certainly a dubbed out buggy. As we come to the first commercial break, the girls are getting nervous about their first review.

Back from commercial and the ladies have to get into makeup. Most do not know how to do it. The one girl does not know how to do her own makeup and her good friend will not help her. The runway is a maze and girls will collide. Nate Dawg is there for some reason. First dibs probably. The girls are going the wrong way but so far are doing a bad job. Mo 18 almost took a dive. Walked out like a linebacker, and almost fell off the stage twice. She is going to be singled out later. The one girl has strange eyebrows. Like someone took a weed wacker and shave them off slowly.

Back from commercial the one girl said she is a whacky. Their first shoot 530 am. Girls got out of Limo and there is alot of rigging. The girls will be flying. First up Kimberly. Did not do a good job and her friend told her she sucked. Ashley next. Struggled as well. Bre is up next. Looked good and comfortable. She was funny and fun. Nik is next she is hot too. DId good. Kyle did good, Diane did pretty good. Lisa is stoked. She did good. First complainer. Coryn. Scared of heights. Wierd brows. She did a good job. Cassandra did good as well. Nicole. Should have called her Nippole. Ebony up next. She did good. Sarah looked out of sorts. This is the girl who cannot walk. Now they are back into the limo and the Tyra mail is there letting them know they will be judged.

Situation Room with Wolfman, Jack, and the Seaner -REVISED

I checked back with CNN today because someone I know told me that more was said during the banter between Jack and Wolf when they read the email yesterday. Here is the revised transcript.

And Sean in Newark, New Jersey, "I like the president's idea of having the military in charge of all natural disasters. I'm also hoping he suggests they provide other services like Christmas shopping and gift wrapping during the holidays."

BLITZER: Sean is a funny guy in Newark, New Jersey.

CAFFERTY: I like Sean.

BLITZER: I like Sean, too. All right. Thanks, Jack.

CAFFERTY: What do you mean "you like Sean, too"? I liked him first.

SOLEDAD: I love Sean.

BLITZER: Slut.

CAFFERTY: I bet you've never even been to Newark Wolf.

SOLEDAD: Oh, I've been to Newark.

BLITZER: I'm actually having dinner in Newark with Sean

CAFFERTY: I bet you're going to Murphy's.

SOLEDAD: Oh, I've been to Murphy's.

BLITZER: You must have me mistaken for McGreavy...to the Situation Command Center...the wind is now blowing at 10 mph and it's going to rain.....

How I Met Your Mother

In a word. Bad. This show lacks one thing for a comedy. Laughs. Painful does not describe the feeling you feel when the cheesy dialogue is exchanged. Note to my future kids if I have them. I will never explain to you how I met your mother like this show is trying to do. You can read about it in the police blotter.

In the Situation Room, Wolf, Jack, and Seaner

Having CNN at work allows the me the luxury of making sure that no one is blowing up NYC and its adjacent cities. One show I love is The Situation Room with Wolf Blitzer. The reason I love it so much is because of Jack Cafferty and of course the Wolfman. The reason I love Wolf is for his affected tone. Every single story that comes into the situation is breaking news. Even if it his assistant telling him lunch has arrived. But everyday I send in notes with comments on the question of the day to Jack Cafferty. For those of you that do not know him he is an older news caster from Fox that CNN hired on to be their old curmudgeon. Unlike Andy Rooney, his rants are focused on topical news events rather than why the sweet and low package is not purple. Ever wonder why....

Today however, our worlds met. Seaner, Wolf, and Jack met at the intersection of CNN and absurdity. The absurdity is off course the comment made by Bush that the Pentagon should be in charge of natural disasters. The following is the transcript from the CNN Website placed for your review and enjoyment.

BLITZER: Let's go to New York. Jack Cafferty has been going through your e-mail. He's joining us live with "The Cafferty File" -- Jack.

CAFFERTY: Wolf, you actually had no day off at all this week, did you? I saw you anchoring coverage on Saturday. You're doing a show on Sunday. I mean, you are setting a standard entirely too high for the rest of us.

BLITZER: It's a big story. You got to work.

CAFFERTY: I understand. You were down in Atlanta and did a nice job.

BLITZER: I like Atlanta, too.

CAFFERTY: Do you?

BLITZER: Yes.

CAFFERTY: Do you like it better than Washington?

BLITZER: I like Washington. I like Atlanta. I like New York. I like all these places.

CAFFERTY: You know, some day you and I are going to have to meet. You should come to New York. And with all the overtime pay you've been getting for seven days a week, you could take me out and buy me an expensive meal.

BLITZER: I will do that.

CAFFERTY: All right. You're on. President Bush wants Congress to consider putting the Pentagon in charge of disaster rescues if senior officers in the military say there's a need. The question this hour, is it a good idea to have the military in charge of national disaster response?

Tom, in Alma, West Virginia, "I have misgivings about putting the Pentagon in charge of anything. The current set up is screwed up. Take FEMA out of homeland security. Let FEMA handle nature and homeland security handle terrorists."

Jack writes, "Of course, they should be in charge. Trained in logistics, protection and teamwork, they'll be far superior to appointed political hacks."

Doug in Arizona writes, "this is nuts, man. While President Bush is at it, let him put the military in charge of delivering our mail, as if they don't have enough to do already. These departments were made for a reason. And now the president's diverting attention, trying to make it look proactive. To me it just looks lazy and ridiculous and I live in a red state."

Robert writes, "the military should not be placed in charge of responses to civilian disasters, especially weather disasters. This is equivalent to declaring martial law every time there's a hurricane, earthquake, et cetera. Far more important for civilian authorities to get their acts together."

And Sean in Newark, New Jersey, "I like the president's idea of having the military in charge of all natural disasters. I'm also hoping he suggests they provide other services like Christmas shopping and gift wrapping during the holidays."

BLITZER: Sean is a funny guy in Newark, New Jersey.

CAFFERTY: I like Sean.

BLITZER: I like Sean, too. All right. Thanks, Jack.

CAFFERTY: I'll see you later.

Wow, Wolf and Jack like me, they really really like me.

The Apprentice New Season Number 4

The sounds of the Ojays are once again heard on Thursday night, and that means one thing. Tonight they show the peeps packing their bags and heading out. 18 new people heading to Bedminster NJ. They are all in cabs and Donald will arrive by copter. Once again, there is a very limited number of black people on the show. One of each again is about the ratio they pick for this and every other show.

Switching over on commercial to the WB, I get to see one of the sexiest ladies on TV Eve. There she is. Shelly. Eve looks better and better every year.

Back to the apprentice. The peeps are all lined up outside. Mr Trump is on the 10th green. George and Carolyn are right at his side. Men VS Woman are the teams right now. There is one little short dude this time. If he comes up the shoulder of the shortest girl I would be surprised. The Donald tells them to find the copter. First person there, two team members get to ride back to the city to pick out the best Gym for their first test

Back from commercial two dudes are in the copter and they are taking the Bally in Manhattan. The woman get the Spanish Harlem place. The one spanish chic is speaking up but pissing people off. The white woman are turned off by her. The guys are thinking that their leader is a flake.

Back after commercial. Black dude is on the phone with some woman. Not sure who it is. His grandmother has died and his wife was on the phone. Woman are out on the streets to try and drum up business. They are telling people they do not have to join but can come take the classes. The spanish chic has some ideas but continues to rub people the wrong way. The men are working on the people on the machines at Bally. They picked the name Excel which everyone does. Team name of the girls is Capital Edge. Melissa is talking smack to Carolyn and is turning off the team. She is going to be first on the block. The white chic took her off and put her in accounting.

Now both teams are in the board room. Donald last to arrive. George. Capital Edge made 516. Excel did good and won with 527. Reward is going to the Fryars club. Boyz win but no exemption for the leader. He keeps the black guy behind to talk about his grandmother. Donald is going to fly him to Philly for his GM funeral

Back from commercial in the big apple. The guy Markus is such a talker. Donald sees through it. The girls are looking to dump Melissa. This is coming down to the board room. Does she take one or two. Donald late as always. Why did you lose. The girls are turning on each other. Melissa turned on the team, a few have turned on her. Donald asked her who she is bringing back. She brought back one. That is a mistake. You always bring back two. All three Judges raised their eyes when she brought back one.

Carol hates the marketing but agrees with Melissa being negative. Donald has her talking. She is hanging herself. Said she cannot work with woman. Too crazy. Melissa got fired. The other chic smiled and got yelled at for it. Melissa fired herself.

Survivor Week 2

Week two of the survivor. Start of with the recap of the first week. At the start of week two we find the boyz still sick like last week. Yaxha is having a great time getting to know each other. Something about Steph braiding the one girls hair in a bikini. Blake is still down for the count. Shortness of breath after getting struck by the spike branch.

First reward challenge. Obstacle course with 8 bags. Get a bag fall into water, get out. Get all bags out you win fishing items, to get some fish. Cindy made up a lot of time for nakum. Dead even at three bags. Nakum in the lead after the red headed dude falls in. 5 bags tie. Nakun in the lead again with 6. Blake and Brian in a race to the finish. Nakum wins the award with the guy that cannot breathe wins the challenge.

Back at camp Nakum is fishing. They caught a few small fish but that is it. Yaxha is scrounging for food. Eating insects and anything they can get their hands on. Morgan either has bad skin or some insects feasted on her face. They are eating ants and little minnows. At 830 pm Blake is ready to collapse again. Judd is getting pissed because he sees him laying down doing nothing and then performing well on the challenges.

Back from break and they are off to Immunity. The challenge tonight is a tug of war. Wow CBS has out done themselves. The first ever mud wrestling contest in prime time. The girls bikinis are coming off. Now they are dirty tired and hungry. Nakum is leading two to nothing on the one on ones. Jamie is looking to get one. Nakum wins immunity on the back of Judd.

Back at camp with the losers, they are all bathing to get the mud off. We are seeing the building of the alliance. They are making it seem like they are going to vote Stephanie but you know this is just their way of making it seem that way. An Alliance is forming with Steph, the Red Head, and some chic. Now they are looking at Lydia or Morgan. The red headed dude is right. You need to unify one vote otherwise it is fractured.

Morgan, Lydia, Morgan, Morgan, Morgan, and the next person Morgan. Lydia now knows she is expendable. Morgan's family moment was gay and fresh. Just like Frabreeze.

R U That Girl Live Performance

Ryan Devlin comes out first and he is a hokie little cheese dick. Now he announced them as the top selling girl group of all time but I thought that was Destiny's Child. The guy is talking way too much. We cut to their best vids and songs. My only problem with the show is that they say the audition process was grueling but it really was not. We are now back to the MTV cheeese dick dude and he just keeps asking the crowd, Meah or Crispy. Almost as if there was no script at all but you know there is a teleprompter there.

Finally Tboz and Chilli come out. With their hair all did, these girls are short. Why are these girls explaining their song to the crowd. So far the show is slow. Now they are doing a retrospect of each girl. Mirrah is first, nice retro, the girl is very pretty and now she is on stage. There is way to much shouting going on in the audience. Oh so Crispy. She is cute and young. I think she is going to be the winner. She can dance, rap and sing. She just came out on stage and her hair is up in big rollers. Backed to the canned footage. Showing them the dance steps for the song they are going to do with Tboz and Chilli. Oh so Crispy seemed to be struggling with the dance steps whereas Mirrah did better. Oh Clean and Clear just did a product placement by giving the girls face cream. Kind of cheap when they give cars away on other shows.

Back from commercial. They are up in the rafter asking questions. They had to write lyrics to their new song. Oh So is freaked out by criticism and although she did good (do not show you too much) she has to get over it. Mirrah is doing a good job and her rap was pretty good. She is taking advice well. She could be the winner.

Now TLC is going to perform. They got dancers coming from the audience. I hate that so much. Stage opens and it is the two girls singing ain't to bad to beg. Now they are doing Friends which was their first big hit. It is kinda just a dance thing. Into a lipped version of I ve got so much loving babe, and then into creep. IT is kind of bringing the show to a creep. Too slow of a performance. There dance steps are so slow I could do them well. Into Waterfalls and there is a strange re-enactment of the videop going on over the top of the video being shown. I am not sure what that was but it was not the greatest. Chilli looked bored during the one song.

We are one break away from the winner. The two girls are on stage and they are about to announce. The girls are pretending to convince us they have not made their choice yet. Now they just walked out. Words to both to build them up. The two girls are holding hands and being all nervous. Oh So Crispy won and now her family is coming out of the woodwork. Instant Posse on the stage. She also had to introduce the guy that gave her the name. What was that.

Back with Mirrah and her hubby. So the song we have been hearing the whole time is their new single. Is Oh so a dancer or a part of the group. Let the girl dress like the band Tboz. Please. Poor girl. On the other shows they get a million bucks. This one they get to perform with her.

Survivor Guatemala

Tonight we see the return of Survivor. I have to say the show has staying power. Fun to watch and fun to bet on. We have been teased all week with the two mystery return Survivor All-Stars. Who will it be..Probably not Richard, he will be starring in Survivor-Federal Prison. Got to pay them taxes boy. Lets see how they are dumped into the wilderness. I wish they would take a plane and crash it into the mountain and see how many survive the crash. Then those survivors would have to hike 20 miles to camp. Once at camp they would make fire for the first time, and then help CBS place products for the rest of the season. Here we go. Probst has them all lined up and in tribes. They will be given Myan tools and Bobbie John and Stephanie from the other season. Bobbie is the first to freak out. He is in love with her from the show and he is flaming. The girls love Bobbie John.

First challenge is for reward. 11 mile trek for dibs on the best camp, with flint. So everyone is just walking through the woods. One guy is an ex nfl quarterback. A branch with spikes on it hits one guy. A nurse in the group comes to his aid. The thorns are now making him throw up. Night has fallen and the two tribes have to stop where they are and get up in the morning to figure out where they are. There are monkeys and other animals making crazy noises. It is now daybreak and the two tribes meet in the woods. Now it is a foot race. Bobby John is now cramping up and the tribe is like freaking out because he was the ringer for their team. Nakum is in the lead at the canoe but Yaxha is gaining. Bobby John is cramping again and another guy fell in quicksand. Nakum wins best camp and flint. The Yaxha team has to canoe to the crap camp. Too bad they did not know how bad Bush and his crew would screw up this country. We could have had a survivor Baghdad or New Orleans and pumped some money into the US.

So now the loser are heading to their camp which is across the lake. They keep showing crocs like they are going to kill them, but they are actually hired for the show and kept by Disney. Back to Nakum and the dude is still throwing up now with about 5 others. The nurse chic is earning her keep. Maybe they should name the show ER. All the guys are down. The next day. Perhaps day break brings salvation. The first immunity challenge. The idol this time is a little dude sitting in a squat position. They have to paddle, grab a torch. They then have to come in and move the boat through the land using logs. The race is on, and they are in a dead heat coming to the beach. Yaxha is in the lead. Lots of legs getting caught. Yaxha wins and they get flint as well. Of course the flint is made by Flints Unlimited at flintsunlimited.com.

Back from commercial the old guy tells the nurse he snapped his bicep. The guy is down again. You have to vote him out. The other dudes need to hydrate but this guy needs a doctor. They are now ready to pick the person to go home. Probst asks the questions and here we go to the vote.

The music plays, people write, and Probsts tallies. Jim, Jim, Jim, Jim, Jim.... 5 votes and we say goodbye to the Jimbo. Jim's wife, compliments of Frebreaze gets to wish her first out loser hubby great job. IN the past we used to lead our elders into the wilderness or snow and let them pass. Now we have CBS just snuff out their torches. The tribe has spoken.

Bones

Should have named the show Lame or Predictable. The show comes complete with all the cookie cutter gimmicks. Witty banter, sexual tension, odd yet genius characters, and the boss who calls all the shots that will be the thorn in the side every episode, only to get shown up at the end and forced to eat crow pie. Oh yeah, one other thing, the computer that can do anything. Since war games I have never ever seen a computer portrayed without great exagerations. All with just the push of one button. The show is a poor shot at MTV meets Quincy. The show just plasters music over scenes from contemporary sell out artists. LIke the music artists themselves, the show will not run much longer that the one hit wonders time on the billboard.

The show will serve its purpose to run ads for the OC and other Fox hits. In October we will see the cast at the world series eating hot dogs and blocking peoples view as Fox ushers stars from failing Fox shows into seats to buld synergy. The networks must really think we are dumb as doorknobs.
