Show Updates: Big Brother, Entourage, Hell’s Kitchen, etc.

Sorry it has been so long since I’ve updated this blog. I’ve been spending so much time watching the shows that I haven’t had time to write about them! Here’s my latest opinions and analyses:

Big Brother: Go, Meow Meow! Yes, I’m an Enzo fan, although I think some others are playing a better game. As much as I hate to say it, Brittany and Rachel probably have the best game play thus far. Brittany is managing to remain a floater while also forging alliances with some; or at least giving the impression that she is. Rachel, while riding a wave of luck that is soon going to run out, is making some smart decisions. But would she stop with the constant talking as if she’s auditioning to become a game show host or something! “Behind door #3, we haaaaave, a newwww carrrr!” And what’s up with her lap dog, Brendan? He’s hot hot hot, but wow, if he doesn’t stop following her around like a lost puppy, I’m going to pound him. And I don’t mean in the good way. She is clearly using him, is clearly a first-class bitch, yet he is sticking himself to her. So sad and such a waste of a hot body. Matt, he seemed to be left out of this episode. I think he’s playing a good game, minus the whole lying about his wife’s illness. I guess I can see past it if he donates money to the disease. But still, joking about stuff like that is like playing with karma, toying with it, just asking for it to come get you. Kristen: wow, she went from no voice on the show to the biggest mouth! Girl is a fighter, but she’s playing stupidly, and deserves to go home tonight. I’m pretty sure she will. My prediction for the top 4: Lane, because the “juice head” always makes it through. Either Brittany or Kathy, because a floater always makes it through. Ragan, because the gay guy always makes it through (not meant to be stereotypical here, just going by the last few seasons) and Matt or maybe even Enzo. Let’s see how it plays out.

Bachelorette: Done, and done. My faithful Reality Steve was wrong right up until the final day. But who cares, really? Ali and Roberto seem generally happy. But wouldn’t you be if you were holed up in a hotel room for 4 days every two weeks for the past two months with nothing to do but screw like bunnies? Let’s wait until the novelty wears off. Chris, I’d forget Bachelor unless they’re paying you six figures. Head back to MA now, and you’ll be getting girls like nobody’s business. You could have your own line up of 25 along the beach of your beautiful family home.

Entourage: OK, so maybe the show is finding its flavour again. Although Vince really bugs me. Both his character, and the way he plays it. Maybe that’s the point. But I just don’t think he was the right actor for that role. Drama’s storyline is just stale at this point. I think they could easily drop him from the show and make him a recurring guest star; like the publicist chick. But the story with Lizzie and Ari (really, the good stories always revolve around Ari) is juicy. And E’s perfect relationship is starting to make me gag. Something has to happen soon to shake that up. Heartbreak always makes for good TV!

Hell’s Kitchen: Wow, Holly really showed Ben who’s boss. And deservedly so. The guy has an ego inflated so big, he could fly a family of four across the country in an air balloon. But what makes it worse is that he was ready to pack it all in and give up. if your back hurts so bad, at least still try to work and let Chef Ramsay see. Let HIM tell you to go home. the fact that he was ready to give it all up…argh, I really think he just knew he’d get his walking papers and wanted to avoid the embarassment. Well, good on you. You got to work like a champ with your “bad back” and still get sent home. Sucker. Now you not only look like a puss, but also a liar.

Hung: Boring me. And what’s with the incestuous, brother/sister relationship? It’s really starting to creep me out to the point of being uncomfortable.

Last Comic Standing: Myq? Who spells his name Myq? It’s MIKE, douchebag!

Mad Men: Wow, wow, and wow. Still as great as ever. Wonder if we’ll see Sal come back now that they see what a jerk the Lucky Strike guy is. Mind you, it wouldn’t matter. With that account representing such a huge percentage of their business, if they told him to send Sal back to Italy even if he wasn’t working for them anymore, they’d find a way to do it.

So You Think You Can Dance: Boring, boring. It has come to a point when I can predict the top 2 after the first 2 shows. I mean, the rest in the middle is just entertainment. you can dance your face off, but if you aren’t an audience fav, it doesn’t matter. Lauren and Kent, we’ll see you guys next week.

Jersey Shore: A new addition to my roster. I caught all of Season 1 on demand. And all I can say is WTF? It’s like a train wreck, but one you simply can’t look away from. I have learned so many new terms from that show. All i can say is if i hear a guy call me a grenade, I know it’s not good.

The Bachelorette – Ali is Clueless About Frank

Could Frank give any more signs to point to please send me home because I’m not into you? Holy cow Ali is clueless. Then again, being a chick who has been in that position many times, i totally get it. The more he pushes away, the more interested she is in him. He becomes a mountain to climb, a hardship to conquer. The way she answered his mo with no hesitation makes me believe she is way more into him the. He’s into her. That or they are very clever with voiceover editing and make it sound like she’s more interested in him than she is. Anyway it’s not like I’m revealing spoilers here; the previews show exactly what happens next week.

Meanwhile poor Roberto probably had no idea he’d be asked to play up this baseball theme to the max. Ditto with Chris and his mom. I truly hope all of that was sincere and he wasn’t actually asked to focus more on her. Because tat would just be deplorable and I would lose what little respect I have left for the people who produce and edit this crap. Yes I admit it’s crap. But it’s like a car wreck. Once you’re there you just can’t look ok.

Kirk. Oh dear naive Kirk. Being Canadian i realize that his dad sounds exactly like what every American thinks every Canadian sounds like. Is he secretly from Newfoundland. Very weird. All the aboots and stuff. Anyway nothing interesting there.

All and all a pretty boring episode. I mean the lack of chemistry between her and Chris is so obvious. Like any time he goes to kiss her she turns her head. Roberto just wangs to get in her pants although i don’t think as much as she wants to rip his clothes off. Frank couldn’t try any harder to imply he isn’t interested while also not giving too much away to piss off the producers. Basically if you listen to him he’s talking about fears with respect to her that are exactly how he feels. I feel for him because it’s so obvious he wants to leave. Then Kirk who just seems like a little boy and Ali is his first girlfriend.

Anyway im more excited about the tell all after the rose show than anything else. Heres my prediction: Frank will be engaged

The Bachelorette – I Don’t Think They Like Ali

*SPOILER ALERT*

First, in the spirit of full disclosure, I’m a reader of the Reality Steve blog, so I know all the spoilers for this season and know the outcome. And while I won’t come outright and say what I know here, some of my comments will make it obvious. So if you don’t want to know, please don’t keep reading…

Ok, for those who remain, here’s what I think. It has been said that Ali picks no one. But I think what’s really known is that she doesn’t END UP with anyone. There’s a difference. What if she did indeed pick someone, but than HE gave her the boot and said sorry, not interested. It wouldn’t surprise me. After all, I’ve already heard of multiple guys having wanted to leave the show halfway through (some of whom already have, and at least one left, which is made obvious through the previews for upcoming episodes.) So frankly, i think they all saw her, spent time with her, and though “meh.” They could fake interest in her because she’s cute and funny and smart. But she seems like the kind of girl that is someone’s “type” and I don’t think she was the right type for any of those guys. Frank seemed to come closest and, well, even if you don’t know details, we all know how that turns out.

As for the next Bachelor predictions, my money is on Roberto. Why? because he’s the Rico Suave charmer, and they can get a lot of juicy dirt out of watching him tell every girl her face looks like the sun and take them for salsa lessons every time music is heard playing in the background. I can see him breaking a lot of hearts, and making out with pretty much every chick in the house. So I’m betting he gets the coveted title. Then again, the guy who gets the job is likely not the producer’s first picks, since they also need to be willing to do it, and willing to do things in a way that will get the most ratings, right? So we could see Kirk pop up. Or maybe Ty. Who knows. Kasey? God help us all, as it’ll be a season full of hearts and protecting and guarding. The poor guy will leave a tattooed monster by the end! haha

Poor Ali. But I’m sure she’s doing just fine now.
