THE SHOWS
Married at First Sight
I really think UnReal has ruined reality TV for me. Last nights episode of Married at First Sight was super lame. Pretty sure that Tom and Lillian kissed a thousand times. They repeatedly told us how happy and thrilled they were that they had found their soulmate. Boring, right? You could feel the producers screaming "BORING" So Lillian freaked out when Tom commented about people with fancy cars. Apparently Lillian has a nice car and was offended by his remark. Drammmma. Of course they made up 5 seconds later and resumed kissing every 3 seconds. Tom hasn't told Lillian that he lives in a bus yet. That will make things interesting but it's obvious that the producers want him to wait as long as possible to tell her. Keep us all in suspense as long as they can. Same EXACT thing with Nick and Sonia except for the fact that they aren't very affectionate with each other yet. I don't love Nick. He's pretty much emotionless. I really like Derek but Heather's a nit-picky bitch. She just cannot get past the fact that the dude's smoked a cigarette every day since they've been together. People smoke when they're stressed Heather. Marrying a stranger is stressful, give the guy a break. Derek came back at her and called her an alcoholic. I haven't seen Derek take a long drag or Heather do a shot, so not sure how bad the situation really is. They're interesting to watch but again, I feel a bit manipulated by the producers. Let's get to the bus already. The bus at this point is the star of the show for me.
THE OTHER STUFF
-I have no reason why anyone wouldn't have Amazon Prime. Pretty much anything can be shipped to your home within 24 hours AND you get lots of free stuff including...original programming. If for some crazy reason you are NOT an Amazon Prime member and haven't been able to watch some of Amazon's originals...they've made it EVEN easier for you to check them out for free. Transparent, The Man in the High Castle and a bunch of other pilots are now available for anyone. Check out Amazon's YouTube page or their Facebook page and start bingeing on pilots. If the ability to receive anything you can think of in a day won't get you to sign up for the service maybe Jeffery Tambor in pumps and a dress will.
-Speaking of women in a dress...Caitlyn Jenner's show, I Am Cait won't be back for a 3rd Season. Turns out, we're all just not that into her. I'm pretty sure we've all cast her aside in favor of Pokemon Go. She did her job, got the transgender topic front and center, then like every other shiny new object in our lives, we got bored with Cait and started chasing Pokemon all over town. Not sure what's next for her. Bottom surgery in Rio might get us all interested again.
-Mr. Robot was renewed for a 3rd season. No big shocker there, but I haven't heard much at all about Season 2. Buzz and ratings seems to have tapered off quite a bit. I wonder if my friend Brett Blattman's still watching. He was constantly telling me to watch this show after Season 1 and I just never got into it. Still good, Brett?
-Univision's buying Gawker for $135 million bucks which is good news for Gawker. The Hulk Hogan thing forced Gawker into bankruptcy so they realllllly needed someone to fork over some dough and help them out. Start writing that thank you note Gawker. Just write it in Espanol.
-Britney Spears has made out with Madonna and giant snake on the MTV Awards. To promote her new album, she's doing Car Karaoke with James Corden and who knows what she's planning but she's confirmed for the VMA's too. Not sure how she'll top herself and shock us all but I'm sure there's a team of people working on exactly that right now. Heyyyy wait...Caitlyn Jenner's out of work, maybe pull her on stage and makeout with her???
