Academy of Country Music Awards (Only the first Hour) Blake and Luke were pretty controversial with their opening monolog. Same sex marriage, legalization of marijuana, Brittany Spears lack of live music in her Vegas show, Justin Bieber and more. Pretty surprising and pretty freaking funny if you ask me. The Band Perry, Florida Georgia Line performed and then, Brad Paisley played to a pool filled with way too many people, drinking way too much out of red solo cups which means that the pool had way too much pee in it by the end of Brad's new song. Blake Shelton sang his new song "My Eyes" with Gwen Sebastian who looked like Miranda before she lost the weight. Miranda and her cleavage were singing every word right along with her hubby. Brett Everidge looks just like Gerard Butler to me. Martina McBride introduced George Strait sang a new song also. Nobody knew the words, and the audience was pretty quiet while he performed. George wore a guitar but didn't play it at all. Why wear it then? Lee Brice was up next with a pretty cool version of "I Drive Your Truck." Guy Fieri was in the house plugging his new Vegas restaurant sporting a camouflage suit. Eric Church was up next with "My Hometown." Still no awards given out 46 minutes in. Justin Moore was next with "Lettin the Night Roll." Still no awards…this is an award show right? After the commercial break, Shakira and Blake performed together. In the hour I watched the ACM's…not one award given out to anyone.
Game of Thrones Jamie Lannister got a new haircut and new sword. He still only has one hand, but they built him a new one out of gold. That must be tough to fight with. A heavy gold hand and a heavy Valerian Steel sword. How's he going to keep the King's safe now. His Dad wants him back at Casterly Rock but he wants to stay close to his sister who's pissed at him for leaving her and losing his hand. The King's still a d*ck but we didn't expect him to change in a year did we? My have, Lord Tyrion is still Master of Coin and now it seems, he's also the welcome wagon. I also don't think he's been getting any. Shea's pissed off at him and Sansa's a wreck after hearing about the fate of her family. Prince Oberron showed up for the Royal wedding. He seems into some kinky stuff and he's pissed off at the Lannisters as well. Man those dragons got big and they don't seem like they're totally controllable. Daenerys's army is massive now and she also has Liam from Nashville trying to impress her and get on her good side. Jon Snow's back at the wall recovering from his injuries and getting in trouble for his Wilding antics. Brienne's still around, Marjorie and her grandmother are involved in wedding plans and Aya's still with hound but she finally found her own horse. I think I actually understood most of Game of Thrones this time. I don't even think I have to watch it twice. Glad it's back, I've missed it. Silicon Valley Did you guys like Silicon Valley? I think I did. Lots of people from other things. Martin Star, the guy who grew the beard in Knocked Up, the guy from Big Love and a few others that I recognized from somewhere. Was that really Kid Rock at the beginning? They billed this show as a comedy, not sure I laughed much, but I think it's got potential. I did enjoy the very narrow car. What did you think?
The Americans This show is getting confusing...the spy stuff is anyway. Actually I'm sort of confused by almost everything right now. Maybe it's all the wigs, I don't know. All of the Americans seem to be in trouble, all of the Russians seem to be in danger. A new Russian female spy killed her American boyfriend by putting something in the drugs he was doing and then when he died she kissed his vomitty mouth which totally grossed me out. Elizabeth and Phillip had a really nice night together. She was even naked. It was a nice moment AND you got to see Felicity's back and butt. The nice night was followed by a night so nice night and ruined everything when Elizabeth wanted to find out what Martha, Phillips's other wife, meant when she told Elizabeth that her brother was an "animal" in bed. Who tells someone that their brother is an animal in bed? I don't think she liked what happened next. I know I didn't. Clark was rough and borderline abusive. I didn't like seeing him like that and I definitely didn't like seeing her so upset and confused.
Hart of Dixie
As we know with this show, every week in Bluebell, there is some sort of party, event, parade etc. This week was no exception, some sort of party welcoming a bunch of French people to town, a man of the year thing that Brick was vying for but somehow lost to Joel who wasn't even there to accept the honor. Of course there has to be some sort of wacky hijinks. This week it was George, Wade and Lemon trying to get Fancies back. They got it back, screwed it up and then lost it again. I really didn't care about any of those stories at all. The only part I cared about was the Joel/Zoey long distance relationship thing. Of course they couldn't make it work and shockingly, Joel and Zoey are done. The whole town came to Zoey's aid to help her through the break-up which was nice to see. The writers set it up where Joel COULD come back at either the wrong time or the right time, but hopefully he never comes back and Zoey ends up with George or Wade or Seth Cohen could show up in Bluebell and take Zoey to the O.C. At this point, I think I'd be happy with any of these options.
Vikings
As I predicted, the toughest woman on television, Lagertha, went back to her husband, got beaten for leaving him in the first place, and then when he was going to force her to take her top off for all the men of the village, she took a knife and stabbed him in the head and killed him. Next prediction, she will take over the village and lead her people back to Ragnar Lothbrook. He could use the help. A lot of other stuff happened, but who cares, Lagertha's the best. There should be a Vikings drinking game. Every time someone says RAGNAR LOTHBROOK…DRINK!
THE OTHER STUFF
Other than Mickey Rooney passing away last night at the age of 93 and Always Sunny in Philadelphia getting renewed for 2 more seasons, no other major new worth reporting. Slow weekend I guess.
Monday's Tough Trivia Question: Ratings are down this season, but Duck Dynasty is still a big show. I don't watch it, but maybe some of you guys do. What is the Duck Dynasty families last name? Points for as many of their first names also.
