Big Brother
- Last night was the 500th episode of Big Brother and I've seen EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM! Amazing and pathetic at the same time. That's 30,000 minutes I've wasted watching this show, but...I've loved every minute! Thanks CBS!
- I forgot last night was a double eviction night...bonus!
- Did Amanda need to go into a remedial Big Brother game or something? Was she just playing everyone? Her lack of understanding as to why GinaMarie put her and McCrae up was absolutely ridiculous. I'm running out of adjectives to describe this situation already.
- I thought I was watching bizarro Big Brother when Elissa changed her mind completely and decided to keep Amanda in the game? WTF is wrong with that nutty chick? How in the world did she expect to win?
- So proud of GinaMarie for sticking with the plan and The Exterminators and kicking Amanda's ass out of the house to break the tie in the first eviction.
- Loved that Amanda got some boos when she left the house and entered the studio to meet Julie
- Andy's b*lless face when Amanda screamed at him upon exiting was ridiculous. He finally got some, stuck to the plan and made a big move, it's the first thing he's done to really help his game, he should've owned it proudly, but instead it looked like he was terrified that Amanda was going to beat him up at the finale.
- I can't believe that Elissa gave Amanda her wedding ring as collateral. These people are insane.
- Hilarious that Amanda claimed she wasn't a bully in the house. Wait til she watches the shows and sees her bullying in action. Maybe she needs to know what a bully looks like. Well, she'll see one pretty quickly. I love it when she said we don't really know what goes on in that house. WE DO! It's broadcast live on the internet 24/7! We know you're an insane b*tch!
- McCrae's moving to Florida and in with his "Sugar Momma" Amanda...WOW...lets see what happens outside the BB house.
- Okay, whew, finally I was proud of Andy for coming clean with Amanda on his eviction video to Amanda. I guess he can have some b*lls when he knows he's out of arms reach.
- Of course McCrae won HOH and nominated GinaMarie and Elissa. He still thinks Andy is part of his alliance. So, Elissa's big move completely backfired on her, because Andy actually did do something smart. He framed Elissa during the votes! Okay Andy...good move for once.
- Did you notice that Julie seemed to lose her announcing skills during the maze veto challenge. It seemed to long and quiet didn't it?
- I was happy that Judd won POV and left the nominations the same. Made sense and GinaMarie told him what to do.
- So funny when Spencer got to vote for an eviction for the first time in a really looooong time
- How shiny was Elissa when she was hanging with Julie during her eviction interview? She's not going to be happy when she watches that back.
- It's getting down to the wire people and at this point I'm hoping Judd wins. Not because he played a great game but because he's the least annoying of the bunch.
I forgot to remind everyone about the Mary Tyler Moore show reunion that occurred during the Hot in Cleveland 2 part finale the other night. I don't regularly watch Hot in Cleveland, but I was a huge MTM fan back in the day, so I had to TiVo this one. The premise was that Betty White wanted to reunite her old bowling team, the Gorgeous Ladies of Bowling aka GLOB. Team members included, Georgia Engel, who speaks and looks EXACTLY the same as she did on MTM, Cloris Leachman who looked pretty damn good for 87, a pretty healthy looking Valerie Harper and a not so healthy looking Mary Tyler Moore. Wow she looked really weird didn't she? Not sure how many of you guys saw the episode, so check out this clip. There were lots of inside jokes that only Mary Tyler Moore fans might get which I loved and it was fun to see them all together again, but once I got a glimpse of the super strange looking Mary, I was in a hypnotic trance.

Modern Dads
I've heard from of a few of you who watched Modern Dads since I checked out the premiere last week. I'm still liking it and by the looks of the ratings, so is the general public. Of course having Duck Dynasty as your lead in definitely helps the situation. In this weeks episode, The guys were trying to help Rick lose weight. Apparently he used to run marathons until the twins were born. He showed a photo of his former self and the guy has doubled in size. So Stone and Nate made a secret side bet that Stone could help Rick lose 3 lbs in 3 days by juicing! (Does that work? If so...I'm in for 9 days) When Rick went into his garage to find the juicer we saw that he not only has a weight issue, but he could have a hoarding problem too! His garage was filled with stuff . Gotta give Rick credit though, in that mess, he was able to find a juicer that he claims he got as a wedding gift. I'm guessing it was a new sponsor or A&E gift. Of course when you have a wife who brings home 3 pizzas for dinner while your juicing, the odds are against you big time and that was Rick's problem. Did I mention in my original post about this show that Sean's stepdaughters have the weirdest names ever? Joopsy and Arwen. I think they might be from Neptune or something. Where do these kind of names come from if not Neptune? No explanation so far. Joopsy and Arwen's mom is apparently very loud in bed so the guys where trying to help Sean soundproof the bedroom. The house is super small, not sure soundproofing is going to help one bit. Last week when Nate needed baby proofing stuff they went to Callahans for everything. This week Callahans was the place to go for soundproofing crap. I'm betting that Callahans has juicers too! I'm into this one. Season Pass is staying put.
NEWS & INFORMATION:
-Too much Ryan Seacrest apparently is a bad thing. Ryan was booed big time in Denver last night as he helped NBC kickoff the 2013 football season. Broncos fans wanted no part of Seacrest and let him and NBC know it. Maybe the hardest working man in show business needs to take a vacation...from one of his gigs anyway. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=80WDrdZQ3wA
-Yesterday in Washington DC, a District Court judge sided with broadcasters and issued an injunction to temporarily shut down FilmOnX a service that broadcasts local TV programming over the Internet without paying broadcasters for the right to do so. FilmOnX is similar to Aereo so this is a pretty big ruling that will probably result in a quick appeal and a push for the case to go to the Supreme Court if Congress doesn't step. The ruling is a big deal. If it sticks, Aereo's big plans to take over Internet broadcasting will be squashed big time. So this one's something I'm continuing to follow. Stay tuned!
-Most rumors turn out to be somewhat true don't they? We kept hearing that Alec Baldwin would be entering the talk show arena and now it's official. Alec will host a one hour talk show on Friday nights from 10-11pm on MSNBC starting in October. It's described as a "current events and culture" talk show. Having listened to Alec's podcast, "Here's the Thing" I'm betting it's just a spin off of that. Alec does have some pretty decent interviewing skills and his interests are all over the place, so I'm definitely going to check it out. I'll remind you guys as it gets closer. Congrats Alec.
-According to Forbes Magazine, the Top 5 Highest paid TV actresses are:
Sofia Vergara - making $30 Milllion Dollars a year (mainly from endorsement deals like Diet Pepsi and Covergirl)Mariska Hargitay - $11MM
Kaley Cuoco - $11MM (that one caught me by surprise)
Tina Fey -$10MM
Bethenny Frankel - $10MM
-One Life to Live which had gotten a second life online via Prospect Park, has been shut down due to a lawsuit. It's currently on life support waiting and hoping for it's 3rd life to begin. I feel for all of you soap opera people. If you're still sticking with it after all this time, that is real fandom. I gave um all up in 1988!!
-Time Warner Cable's trying to make it up to everyone who stuck by them these past few weeks. As your reward, you can now watch AMC shows, including Breaking Bad on the go via the TWC app. In addition to that, for all of you guys that have been without Showtime during the blackout, they too are hooking you guys up with replays of Dexter and Ray Donovan episodes all weekend. It's supposed to be a gorgeous weekend, so you may want to TiVO these eps and play outside while you still can. Save um for later.
-If you've been missing Will, Grace, Karen, Jack and Rosario, you're in luck if you have WEtv or Logo. Will & Grace will launch on these nets on 9/22 with a Sunday marathon. Not sure how many people care at this point, I might actually tune in if I remember. I never watched any of them on Lifetime, so it could be nice to see the gang again but there's SO many other shows to watch, so chances are slim.-Shout out to Brett Blattman for sending me the link to these Parks & Rec gag reels. I haven't watched them all yet, but the first one is awesome. Check them out here, thanks Brett. http://blog.zap2it.com/frominsidethebox/2013/09/the-parks-and-recreation-season-5-gag-reel-might-be-the-funniest-thing-you-see-all-day.html Please make sure to get your Emmy votes in for Best Drama.
