Dancing and Finales and Drama...OH MY!

Wow...2 weeks has gone by and SO much has happened in the land of TV. I truely believe God must have a TiVo! With so many good shows out there, how else would anyone have time for it all without that little box that some genius created?!

Prepare folks...this will be a long one. There's been such a lapse of posts because I've been dealing with work stuff and making last minute trips to Boston before throwing in the towel and resigning. I'm through working for a horrible, control freak, ego-maniac boss! So what does that mean for me? It means plenty of time to catch up on my TiVo! Which I have started to slowly chip away at.

First, I'd like to give a "holla!" out to my one fan. I happen to know this fan and although he isn't addicted to ALL TV like I am...I will certainly give him props on being a reality TV addict. So I'll get to his request to start this off.

So You Think You Can Dance

Great show! I watch it religiously because I've for some reason always been facinated with dance shows. From Solid Gold to cheerleading competitions, I always tune in. I can't even tell you how excited I was to hear that Ballroom Dancing was including in the Olympics! Unlike Dancing With The Stars this summer, where you are basically watching to see if these celebrities can actually do anything more than be a half-way good actor/singer...this show is based on true talent. I mean seriously, how can anyone go from krumping and popping directly to a Fox Trot or Quick Step? That's insane to me! So speaking of...there are some problems with a couple dancers. Jamile - of course I've been cheering for him since he lives down the street from me...and that boy can pop and krump until the cows come home...but he just can't ballroom. He's definitely gotten TONS better...but his posture was definitely created from the streets. Completely appropriate for his type of dancing, but not for an "all around" dancer. He still rocks...but he's going down. Nick - Amazing! But...he has the reverse problem. Although not to the same extreme. His duo dance with Jamile was spectaular and he has grown over the competition, but, he's just to "jazzy" for me. Now the real competition. Melody and Ashle. WOW! Both of these girls have so much talent that it really doesn't matter who wins becuase they are both set for their entire dacing careers. But I'm doing to pick Ashle here. She has a certain "something" about switching up her dance styles that ads that extra "oomph". Maybe it's that Melody lifting her leg up all the time really annoys me as well...but I'm going to put my $ on Ashle! Go white girl, go white girl, go!!!

Big Brother 6

This one will be quick. Janelle was robbed. Plain and simple. I have watched all 6 years of BB and this was by far the best one! Kaysar rocked, Howie was pure entertainment and April and Ivette annoyed the living hell out of me. But Janelle was an amazing player. She PLAYED the game. Maggie just sat around and did nothing. It obviously worked for her...but she was so incredibly boring that the ONLY reason why I watched the finale is to see Ivette go down. That girl has some issues. If I heard one more "Cappy" comment out of her mouth I was going to jump through the screen and strangle her. And Tush? Tush? Come on ladies. Puke! Hopefully April will calm down on all the plastic surgery and Beau will stop screaming like a 3 year old girl. But you got it...I'm still hooked and will certainly be tuning in next year!

Now that I've answered my fan mail...time to start on the drama!

LOST

This will be hard to keep simple. Let me preface all of this with the fact that I'm a new fan. A new friend of mine turned me on to this show, so before this season started I was watching all of the episodes non-stop for about a week before hand. So this entire plot is very fresh in my head and I'm super involved. Here is the recap from last night. But for those you really into this show, check out this site to enter the relm of true "LOST" geekdom. I will start by saying WTF?!?! I swear this is the first show I've ever watched that constantly leaves me asking more and more questions after every episode with hardly having any of the previous questions answered! Brilliant! Yet frustrating. Usually I can leave a show on my TiVo for a couple days and wait for the weekend to watch it...but not this show. I will start the show about 15-20 minutes into it so I can fast forward through all the commercials and end the show the same time the show is ending in real life. That's how I feel about this show!

Jack Shephard (or Charlie as I like to think of him from Party of Five) - Talk about pressure for this dude. He's the only doctor, has confidence issues...and yet everyone is completely relying on him for every decision. Eek! But definitely wondering when him and Kate are going to get it on. Waiting for the day.



John Locke - Hated him. Liked him. Hated him. Liked him. And now it's moving back to hate. He's been acting way shady recently. Shady that he had so many knives. Thought the tough love to get Charlie off of heroine (that won't last) was very cool. Shady again about not telling anyone about his legs and then blowing off the hatch when Hugo was yelling at him to stop. Very confused on him right now...so I'll form a better opinion in the next few episodes I'm sure.

Kate Ryan - Shady, but like her. Too bad there's not a therapist on the island...she could clock in some major hours. Intimacy issues? Commitment issues? But very cute. I'd pretty much give my right arm to have her body...but then again, I like her arms. Bad deal I guess. Her character is definitely going to grow this season, can't wait.



Sayid Jarrah - HOT! Don't know exactly what does it for me...but love him. He is certainly going to be key to their survival. Hope him and Shannon can work things out too.

Those are pretty much my favorite characters. I definitely think Charlie and Claire are going to hook up and definitely think Charlie is going to break open that Virgin Mary. Will Michael find Walt? Will Sawyer grow a soul? Will Jin and Sun work things out and will he be able to really escape his past? What's up with Hugo and his "numbers"? And the Hatch...who is that dude really? Who are "the others?" What's up with that one girl that Jack met at the airport bar being in that group? Etc, etc. Do you see what I'm talking about with all these questions? Answer the questions you bastards!!!


Now...I'll take a little break and re-group before getting into 4-5 other shows that I've been watching. AND...Smallville starts tonight!!! Don't even get me started on that show!!!
