SHE BOP
|
May contain a few very mild spoilers if you care about American Idol, Lost, Survivor, or Grey's Anatomy.
American Idol: I don't think it is any surprise to most people who the final four were. While it might have been hit or miss for some people, and some people went home before their time. I've been instructed to mention that Mark called this final three LONG ago. There have been discussions with other AI fans about who deserves to win vs. who should win vs. who is most talented. It's an interesting debate.
My prediction: Blake will go home next, unless he pulls out some amazing songs out of his ass next week. Melinda and Jordin will be the final two. Melinda might win because she has the talent. Jordin might win because she would benefit from it more, in my opinion. Not that winning is the only way to start a career. Look at Jennifer Hudson or Chris Daughtry. I think for Jordin's age this will be the best stepping stone for her. Melinda will obviously put out an album regardless.
Pink performed. Barry Gibb did as well. Pink was good. Barry Gibb was not. Did he have a stroke or did something medically happen to him? I guess Pink was to perform her song U + Ur Hand. She was asked by producers to either change the lyrics for the show or sing a different song. She sang a different song. And didn't look thrilled about it. Plus she was wearing some sort of Mila Jovavich-ian Fifth Element bandage 'dress' that looked odd on her.
Paula seemed as loopy as ever and I'm pretty sure was soliciting Jessica Alba at one point. Ryan cracked a joke about Paula having "more to work with" as she puffed out her chest in homage to Simon. For those of you keeping score at home. Masturbatory Songs: 0. Boob Jokes: 1.
Lost: This show has been pissing me off for a while now. I still love it. Yet, the answers are only sprouting more questions. It's an enigmatic hydra. They might be dead. There may be ghosts. Locke may be even deader. I can't tell if Juliette is good or bad. She is not really happy with The Others and she does want off the island. But she seems like she is playing both camps for fools. She knows way more than she is telling anyone. Publicly telling anyone that is. Who knows what might happen in the remaining episodes of the season. Oh... and Lost is canceled. At least it will be in the 2009-10 season. They've set and end date for the show which I think will help them keep story arcs in check and maybe get some answers resolved in a timely manner so the show doesn't go all Twin Peaks on everyone and leave you wondering (more than it already has).
Survivor: In one of the most intellectual games ever played the resident 'old guy', Yauman, is quite the threat in the game. Not only is he playing smart, but for a guy who can't weigh more than 65 pounds wet, he's holding his own. A lot of the challenges lately have been balance or brains related. Brute strength really hasn't been a factor. They tried to off him this week, but he was smart enough to pick up on the clues that he had a target on his back and saved himself just in time. If he makes it to the finals I think he has the best shot to win. He has not back-stabbed or upset many of the other players who will eventually vote for/against him. He's played a great strategy game. He's been surprisingly good at the challenges.
In Survivor the meek typically do inherit the earth, so to speak. Physicality is seen as an immediate threat so the weaker players gang up to vote off the strong. Thus leaving physically weaker, but usually craftier players in the finals. This season is no exception.
Grey's Anatomy: No show has the ability to make me tear up like this show does. Meredith Grey looses her mother. Reconnects with her father and gains a step-mother. Loses her step-mother and pisses of her father. Oh!? And her boyfriend might have hit on her sister. Oops! Gay little T.R. Knight (George) and Broadway Biglungs Sara Ramirez make a cute on screen couple. Too bad George had to play doctor with his best friend, Izzie. D'oh! Way to go, George. Addison decides she wants a baby... NOW!! But she only has two prehistoric eggs rattling around inside her collecting dust. Suddenly, she is surrounded by pregnant friends. Bet she's glad she became and OB-Gyn. Irony anyone? Get it while it's hot.
This weeks tear jerker for me was the scenes involving barkeep and doctor-hangout proprietor, Joe and his boyfriend Walter deciding they wanted to adopt. They turn to Addison to do an exam on the Baby Momma. Poor Addison. She really has become a sympathetic character on the show even tho she started out as an antagonist.Labels: tv |
