Big Brother 12, 07082010

The Big Brother is back!!! Sounds a scary show?? Not at all!!! Maybe for the reality contestants because they are being watched continuously by the outside world 24 hours a day!!! There are many, many cameras in and around the house that the people will see every little move that the contestants are doing!!!

Do you think the producers got this idea from the novel, Nineteen Eighty Four, by George Orwell???? Big Brother is a fictional character in the novel, a dictator of a totalitarian state Oceania. Everyone is under complete surveillance by telescreens by the ruling elite!!! After the publication of this novel, the term Big Brother has been synonymous with abuse of government power, particularly to civil liberties. Thus the phrase," Big Brother is watching you!"

There were 13 contestants, including 1 saboteur who will share a large house isolated from the outside world, with their every move followed by a camera! The show is hosted by Julie Chen who comes on the television screen for instructions!!! Included on the lineup of the contestants are a mixture of professions, including a podiatrist, a college professor, a sheriff, a cocktail waitress from Las Vegas who is very beautiful as well as well endowed!!!! Everyone noticed that as soon as she walk in the room!!! Is that not too heavy to carry?? What will be the cost of carrying that baggage on competitions??? Ha! Ha! Ha! You are insane!!! I bet most of the guys, not all, will be vying for her love and affection!!! Hmmm... love and affection, my butt!!! Maybe lust and affection!!! Ha! Ha! Ha! Stop!!! You are making me laugh sooo hard!!! That might be a good thing, her weapon to win the prize money!!!!

The first showdown for the head of household berth was a Weenie Roast. Woo...hoo... what a name!!!! Ha! Ha! Ha! Your mind is again on the gutter!! Brace yourself!!! Back to the game....The contestants were divided into two teams, red and yellow. They have to go across to the other side clinging to a slippery, giant hotdog!!! Some of the players finally learned the technique of how to cling to the hotdog without falling.....by going to the very top with the help of their teammates!!! One houseguest hurt herself when she fell down. Is she the saboteur??? The saboteur's role is to create havoc, mayhem, and confusion in the big house!!! If the saboteur survives for half the episode, that person will win $50,000!!!! That in itself is a very good incentive, don't you all agree??? Monet won $10,000 on the competition, Hayden won the first head of household title, and Andrew, the podiatrist, is exempted from elimination for wearing the ridiculous weenie outfit!!!

After the competition, the saboteur did the first strike! All the lights went out, and as soon as it came back, the contestants realized that the door to the pantry had a padlock!!! My, my, my!!!! That will be a disaster!!!! No food for you guys!!!! Nenenenenene.... But if you are trying to lose weight, that will be a good thing!!!! For you!!!! Ha! Ha! Ha! Not for them! I did not see anyone that seems to have a weight problem!!!! Who do you think is the saboteur??? The podiatrist, Andrew, who was walking and went behind the couch and threw a pillow to the others?? Or was it Brendon, the high school swim coach, who was going to brush his teeth in the dark???? These are good questions that we hoped will be answered next week!!!!

What is next??? Hayden, HOH, has to nominate 2 houseguests for eviction. Then a veto competition will follow to either use the power of veto to save one person or not!!! Who will Hayden nominate??? Who will win the power of veto??? Sound exciting??

How would you like to be watched by Big Brother constantly??? How would you like to be in a house surrounded by complete strangers, and no interference from the outside world... no telephone, no television etc...etc...??? Would you survive for several months??? Would you be willing to give up your life and family?? These contestants know what they are in for, they are ready to form strategic alliances, and for some, the answer is of course!!! For what??? What else??? What do you think???? For money, and to be well known and become a celebrity!!!!

America's Got Talent, 07062010

I was going to take a day off from blogging but my sidekick would not let me! What are you talking about??? See what I mean!!!! You miss me, don't ya??? Miss me.... miss me...okay guys, continue with the melody and lyrics!!!!! I think that might have a tendency to be a number one on the billboard charts!!! Ha! Ha! Ha! You are crazy!!!!

After sooo much audition from all over the country, America's Got Talent finally arrived in Las Vegas!!!! It was held at Palms Resort and Casino, and seems the contestants were having a good time in the sin city gambling and looking at the sights!!! This is an elimination round and only 40 contestants will remain to go to Hollywood, the next stop!!!

The three judges were introduced by Nick Cannon, as usual, and Howie Mandell, Sharon Osbourne and Piers Morgan took turns speaking. The competitors were divided into three groups, Group A, Group B, and Group C. Group A has to compete to get a place in the 40 spots for the show in Hollywood, Group B, have to wait for Group A to finish. If there are remaining spots, it will be taken from Group B. Group C does not have to prove themselves in Las Vegas, they have earned their spots already and are on their way to Hollywood!!! They can just watch and enjoy themselves for now!!! That must have been quite a relief to the contestants belonging to Group C! Group C's auditions were very good that they are skipping Las Vegas, and I saw some in that group that were really, really good!!!

The performers were grouped together according to their talents, magicians, comic, harmonica, acrobats, singers, tenors, dancers, and dangerous acts, which I thought was brilliant. Some contestants talent delivery were worst in Las Vegas than where they auditioned originally. Could it be the tension and pressure??? You can surely bet on that! The performers were being watched not only by the judges and audience but also by their fellow contestants backstage on a television set!!! I thought that some picked their material rather wimpy! Like some singers, they sang songs that were not good! Their previous audition had a better wow factor!!! Didn't someone gIve them advise???? Or they thought their song choices were really good for them??

I thought some of the judges pick were outrageous, which included the hand whistler, and the old lady that sang and played the keyboard! How about the magician that was not really performing magic?? He was doing the simple act and telling the audience how it is being done!! He belongs to the comic team!!! The acts were supposed to be only for 90 minutes but the old lady performed for 10 minutes!!! Howie had to get her off the stage, and Piers walk out on her performance!!!! Ha! Ha! Ha! How in the heck did she get through to the next phase???? You were laughing, so you know why!!!!! So the judges have something to laugh at!!! Besides, if they do not have these so-so entertainment, the show will not be as entertaining!!! There must be some crazy acts to get more viewers!!!! More viewers, more moolah!!!! Right??? You got it, kiddo!!!! Do not forget, this is show business!!! Anything to get more audience and more green bucks!!!!! Their acts are not really worth one million dollars but we are not the judges!!! If you do not like it, then do not watch it!!! But there are some genuinely unique acts and really worth the time to watch. So what do you do??? Just relax, watch and do not utter a single word!!! The judges have passed their verdicts and it stands for now!!! They will not last for more than one show in Hollywood!!!! Anyone care to bet????

So You Think You Can Dance, 06172010

The top 11 competitors are now in Vegas!! That's right, Vegas, baby, the sin city!!! I always wanted to say that since I always hear that on television!! Ha! Ha! Ha!! Copycat!!! I do not care what you call me but that sounds good!!! Vegas, baby!! Have you ever been to Vegas??? It is very different than the other cities in America, with all the glamour, glitz and what have you!!! It seems the city does not sleep, and you can just go in and out of the casino on the strip and have fun with the sights all over town!! Where else can you see a volcano erupt from your hotel room window??? Only in Las Vegas!!! Woo Hoo!!! Very nice and interesting! Very different!!! Oh, oh, why don't you just write something today about Vegas since you are starting on it??? Thanks for reminding me that I am steering away from what I am blogging!!! Thanks, but when I hear Vegas, it reminds me of a different world!!! Yak! Yak! Yak!!! Don't you ever stop talking??? Can I put a tape now on your mouth to keep you quiet???? Don't you wish that you are there with them, watching the shows, gambling and strolling the strip??? You are ignoring me!!! You wish that you are there but you have a different agenda!!! You are not going to watch the competition but just go around on the strip!!! Blabbermouth!!!! He! He! He!!!! Not nice!! Oh, well. Can you blame me??? Enough of this nonsense!!!! Okay, okay, master killjoy!!!! Back to reality......

The competition seems to very stiff this season and there are brilliant talented young men and women on the show emceed by Cat Deeley. Let us talk about Cat Deeley. Oh, oh, I hear something brewing on your mind! Spill it!!!! Deeley is a beautiful woman, tall and skinny! What was it with her hair on the show, piled very high on her head??? I was waiting for something to come out and say peek a boo from her hair!!! Ha! Ha! Ha! You are insanely stupid!!! I could not believe you said that! I think it was nice!!! Don't you all agree?? If indeed something came out of her hair, what would you do??? A very good question! I will probably die with laughter!!! How about the judges, Adam Shankman, Nigel Lythgoe and Mia Michaels??? They are nice, except I do not know why sometimes they cry during a performance!!! Hmmm... that shows you are not into it! The feelings that is portrayed from the dance is what move them to be teary eyed! If you say so, but I still do not get it!!!

Let us now look at the contestants..........Alex Wong, who quit his ballet job. He was very good technically and he can really kick high and jump high! He danced with all star Allison Hoeker in a contemporary dance choreographed by Sonya Tayeh with the Hallelujah song. He had a standing ovation from the two judges, Mia and Adam. I did not like it! It seems to me that they are convulsing a lot on the dance floor!!! It was very weird! What do you expect from Sonya??? That is her style!!! No further comment, then. How about Kent Boyd from Wapakoneta?? he surely put his hometown on the map after Nygel lost his way and got a ticket!!!! He was fantastic with all star partner Anya Garnis dancing the Cha Cha, choreographed by Tony Meredith and Melanie LaPatrin! He seemed like he was a ballroom dancer with his gyrating hips and sleek moves!!! And to think that he is from a small farming community!!! Where did you learn to move like that???

Who were in the bottom three?? Melinda Sullivan who danced the Jive with all star Pasha Kovalev, choreographed by Tony Meredith and Melanie LaPatrin. I thought she was lacking the ooomph with her dancing! What is an ooomph? You know what I mean!!! LOL.Next was Cristina Santana who danced the Jazz with all star Mark Kanamura, choreographed by Sonya. Oh, oh.. What?? I did not say anything!! I thought that she was missing something in her performance. How about Alexie Agdeppa, who danced the hip hop with all star Stephen" Twitch" Boss, choreographed by Tabitha and Napoleon D'Umo???? I thought her dancing could have been better. She did not give her all to it!!!

Who was eliminated?? Guess??? I do not want to guess! Just give it to us!!!! Okay. It seems of all the two girls, the only one that was really fighting to stay alive in the competition was Cristina. She was really good with her solo performance, unlike the two that just had a mediocre dance. Who was sent home??? You are killing us with the suspense!!! Are you ready? Dim the lights, please.... Oh, no!!! Cat Deeley did not do it like that!!! Excuse me, I am not Cat Deeley!!!! Oh, wow!!! Who was sent home? Okay, here goes...the one who went home was.... none other than..... Alexie!!!! Alexie was the oldest competitor, 26 years old, and tried out 4 times!!! Oh, my, my, if 26 years old is old, what will a 50 year old be??? Ancient!!! Ha! Ha! Ha! Crazy!!! They were talking about being old with regards to all the competitors!!!! Got it??? Whew!!! Got it!!!!

Are you ready for the next show?? I am glad that they are doing it differently this season. It seems like it is more professional and lots more fun than before!!! Whoever thought of adding the all star to the competition is brilliant!!! Take a bow, whoever you are!!!!

Miss USA, 2010

Welcome to Miss USA, 2010!!!! Why am I blogging about the Miss USA pageant? Three reasons: I like to talk about beautiful, smart women, it is one of the interesting subjects on earth, and last, but not least, I do not have anything better to do!!!! Ha! Ha! Ha! You are sooo silly!!! When I read the third reason, I almost fell on the floor and peed on my pants!!! Oh, well, did I get your attention???? Of course, you did, you nincompoof!!!
There were 51 good looking women that competed in Planet Holywood Resort and Casino in Las Vegas. I did not say 51 gorgeous women because I thought some of them just looked like ordinary women. They might look ordinary, but probably they are very smart, don't you think so? You are probably right because they have to answer some questions really good and fast. That alone is really hard to do especially if you are in front of a live audience!!! The competition was done in Las Vegas. Do you think that is the reason why the women wore sexy costumes???? I think that is one of the reason, but the number one reason, I think, is to have controversy so more people will watch the show!!!! Ding...ding.... ding!!!! I hit the jackpot!!!! That was the one and only reason.... to get more viewers!!!! More viewers, more moolah!!!! Anything for money, right Donald?????
The women's photos were indeed racy..... women wearing fishnet stockings, high heels, sexy lingerie, with smoldering looks, sexy pauses, and plenty of bare skin. It looks like they are ready to pose for racy magazines! Ay.ya.yay!!! What were the executives of Miss USA thinking???? Oh,boy!!! It is already 2010. Wake up!!!! Times are changing, you cannot compete with the viewers unless there are some sexy things about it!!!!! Come on, sex sells!!!!! Sad, but, you are right, the world's moral has really gone downhill!!!! Even Miss USA's image has changed!!! What do you think will the other countries say about this??? Anyone??? Who cares what the other countries will say as long as the contestants did not do anything stupid! They are just pictures!!!! Who was crowned Miss USA, 2010??? They were down to 5 contestants: Miss Maine, Katherine Ashley Whittier, the tallest and the only one wearing a black gown, was the fourth runner up; followed by Miss Colorado, Jessica Hartman, the third runner up; Miss Virginia, Samantha Evelyn Casey was the second runner up; and Miss Oklahoma, Morgan Elizabeth Woolard, the first runner up. Any of these five beauties could have been the new Miss USA, but Miss Michigan won!!!!!! I believe that she had the extra ooomph! factor with her! When she walks, it is different, I do not know how to say it, but it seems like she can hypnotize and seduce people with her walking!!!! Maybe it is the gyration of her hips! I bet you she knows how to belly dance! LOL.
Who is Miss Michigan? She is Rima Fakih, 24, daughter of Lebanese immigrants. She is the first Arab- American Miss USA from Dearborn, Michigan! She is very pretty and very smart. She is a graduate of the University of Michigan with degrees in Economics and Business Management. She plans to begin law school after her one year reign. Sounds really impressive??? You bet! Hurray for Michigan!!!!!
Did you know that the Miss USA pageant is 59 years old??? It has come a long, long way for women. I noticed though that the majority of the beauty queens have breast implants! I guess they allow that now. How do you know?? Their breasts are sooo formed and not droopy. So, actually, the contestants do not really have their natural beauty! Their beauty is enhanced by plastic surgery here and there! Is that fair or not??? Then, if that is the case the women that have won the title from yesteryears were really beautiful....they do not have anything artificial on them!!! Right???? Maybe the competition is stiffer and more intense than before, from swim suits to evening gowns, that is why the contestants get under the knife to enhance their overall appearance??? I wonder about the talent, it used to be big and televised. Do they still do it, and is just not aired due to time constraints??? Does anyone know??? Do they also have interviews in the earlier years of the pageant??? Who knows and who cares??
I guess we are sooo obsessed about outward beauty that women resort to everything arificial in them! Are we ever going to see a nude beauty as our Miss USA, untouched by a knife or plastic surgery??? Hmmmm... I think that is a very tall order! I think you will be waiting forever to see a real beauty. Forget what you would like to see, just watch and admire the bevy of beauties, real body parts or not, parading before your eyes every year!!!
