Trust my rage

I missed the first half of Survivor and my Tivo didn't get it. why did the Heroes think Russell was going? Was it just because he was the only guy left? I didn't think it was a bad move. It got rid of the idol which was a source of conflict for the Heroes and can possibly cause dissension in the Villain tribe.

You know, I suppose they edit this stuff out but i wish someone would acknowledge the advantage Russell has as an unknown.

Because books.

That was so funny. When Seth Aaron said he had a surprise for him, Tim was so suspicious: "You do?" Hee.

It felt sort of throwaway tonight, though. I feel like I already knew who the final three was going to be.

I did, too, although I liked Jay's three looks a lot more that Mila's. I thought that Jay's looks were more innovative and interesting. I like Mila's work, but I thought it was boring.

I was really surprised they picked Mila. I thought Jay's stuff would be more interesting and "fashion forward".

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

I liked Jay's better, too. Mila's was a total snoozefest except for the dress, and the only thing that made it surprising was that it was hers. I feel like Jay has a lot more range than she does, though the boy does love his jodhpurs.

I don't blame Katee's roommate if, even if contacted by the producers, she wasn't interested in SYTYCD. I mean, damn. (OTOH, exposure, so I would totally get if she did it). But I thought she was awesome, and wanted to see her, and was SO stunned when they cut her in Vegas.

And I also love Travis and Danny and am skeeved as all hell by Dom.

I would love an All-Stars, but it wouldn't, of course, end up being my favorites, it would end up being Misha Chan and Dom and like, uh....what's his face the latin guy with too much chest who some girls liked to drool over. And skeevy Dom.

On ANTM, I would shoot half the girls in that house, like OMG. I know it makes for more interesting reality TV, but good god. That said, this week's elimination was a total snooze...like there was any doubt or drama to that one?

"We have trust issues." Mylar

I've been a long time over ABDC, but they just had their Champions for Charity show tonight and the winning crews from all five seasons came back and whoa! Made of awesome. Jabba and Qwest tore the roof off. Supercrew was also really good. They had this little 8 year old kid dancing with them doing things I could not believe. And talk about weak talent pools, the drop off in quality from S1-3 to S4-5 was on full display last night. Poreotix and We Are Heroes looked like also rans. (Heroes did a bit better)

On ANTM, i'm still loving Alasia, but I agree that they all showed out last night. Too much drama and not enough fierce. I still want to be ALT's saloniste.

Haven't seen Survivor or PR yet, but since Russell is still in the mix and apparently running thangs on the island and Mila's going to fashion week, I can already tell I'm not gonna like 'em.

ABDC: Poreotix can only dream of being able to move like Jabbawockeez (I still don't understand how they won. For God's sake people, how many times can you watch a damned comic robot routine?). And OMG Qwest were just awesome.

Aw, I hope they rerun the ABDC special. Remind me what channel?

Am I the only one who watches LA Ink? This season is driving me NUTS. I swear, it didn't used to be all bullshit drama. I spent all last season waiting for them to fire Aubry, and now there's Liz, the little scheming shitweasel. Aubry was stupid, but Liz is evil. And yes, I know, edits, blah blah, but damn. They seem to be ramping up to Corey quitting, which would really be a shame.

::sigh:: Silly me, I watch for the tattoo artists and the tattoos.
