The Hills: Spencer vs. Lauren ... Who Will Heidi Choose?


So, we could have predicted that Holly's appearance would stir up old feelings for best friends Heidi and Lauren. Holly is definitely pressing the issue, and hoping to reconcile the girls, but Lauren makes it pretty clear that Heidi's not the issue ... Spencer is.

I was a little shocked to hear Lauren put it so bluntly. It was almost like a ultimatum; however, I can see where she's coming from considering how Spencer has treated her in the past, and how he bad-mouthed her. Who wants any more of that?

I don't think anyone expects Heidi to choose ANYONE over Spencer, so I doubt a resolution is in the near future.

I'm glad Audrina's going out on dates. I think she can do better than JB.

What do you think?

Heroes: Peter Sucks at Saving the World


OK. So, this wasn't the best episode to try to watch while cleaning my room. I blame myself. I know better. You must be fully focused on a "Heroes" episode. I'm no novice. I'm aware of this.

Anyway, half way through the show I really wasn't sure if I was watching the present or the future. Parkman seemed to be in the future, but he wasn't. He was dreaming. The Peters were in the future, and then one Peter was with present Sylar after killing future Gabrielle and future Nathan. There was no present Claire, but there was a Tracy flying through the air, and I'm not sure if she was present, future or past participle, but either way, her new powers are eons better than Jessica/Nikki's powers.

What I did catch was that the Peters are doing a terrible job trying to save the world. If anything, they're accelerating the planet's inevitable demise. Why Peter thought having Sylar's power would be an asset, I don't know, but Sylar did warn him that a hunger comes along with his ability, and Peter might be one of the villains this season. Who would've thunk it?

How will Parkman end up with the Speed chick? Why does "evil" Claire have dark hair? Aren't we tired of this imagery yet? Why is future Mohinder so scary? Who was the mother of Gabrielle/Sylar's son? Are Tracy and Nathan going to break up his marriage? Is there anyone on the show who doesn't paint the future?

Hey. I guess I paid more attention than I thought.

The Real Housewives of ATL Coming Soon


I haven't watched any of the previous "Housewives" seasons on Bravo, but I plan to tune into the premiere of the Atlanta season tomorrow. I've seen the preview episode in which the ladies were introduced. It seems like there will be a lot of drama and a lot to blog about.
Stay tuned.

I Love Money Finale: Anti-Climactic


Ok. So, Hoopz won the $250K, and everyone's happy for her, including White Boy, who was ahead of her during most of their finale race, but couldn't remember the order in which the other contestants had been eliminated. So, basically their memories decided the ultimate winner.

It was about half way into their race that I realized I really didn't care who won. I think it would have been a more dramatic finale if Megan hadn't quit before the jury had a chance to tear into her. I totally get it, though. Why have people stand in front of you and call you names and possibly even spit on you and then kick you off the show? Megan took her fate into her own hands and did without the snake/rat "Survivor" moment.

BTW, did I miss her or was Brandi C. mysteriously absent from the Jury? Mmmm.

There's a reunion show next week that's sure to make up for the drama we missed this time around.

Crash: The TV Series

I just watched an online preview of Starz's new drama "Crash," based off the popular film from a few years back. I don't recall all the intricacies of the movie, but this TV version has the same look and feel. The first episode was interesting, and I'd probably tune in regularly, except I don't have Starz.

The series seems like something you'd see on HBO and not just because of the nudity. It's for mature audiences -- not porn or anything, but be advised.


If the series ever is ever available on DVD, I may rent it for a weekend.

Real Chance of Love


If nothing else, you've GOT to give VH1 props for dripping every last drop out of a TV franchise that they possibly can. I'm almost impressed.
First there was just "Surreal Life," then "Strange Love," then "Flavor of Love," and the list goes on and on. The newest spin-off will star none other than Chance and Real of "I Love New York" and "I Love Money" fame. They'll get their chance for love and date 15 beauties.
LOL. Just the idea of more of the "Stallionaires" tickles me. Will I tune in? I'm ashamed to say I will. Who could miss it? Maybe Real will propose again. I'm sure he still has the ring he offered to Hoopz. I wish him better luck this time, and I hope Chance ... well, there's no hope for him, which makes him sooo funny. LOL. Who are these chicks that want to date these dudes? I've gotta watch.
Will you?

ANTM: It's Not So Hard to Say Good-bye


Season after season the formula has pretty much been the same. When it's a contestant's time to go, the episode focuses on that girl who will ultimately be in the bottom two at the end. So, I naturally thought either Joslyn or Marjorie would be on the chopping block.

Low and behold! I think the producers have decided not to make it so easy for us.

Despite Marjorie's continued awkwardness and Joslyn's alleged decline, Clark was the girl that got sent home. Personally, Marjorie's whining was so annoying, I was hoping she'd get the axe. She does take a nice picture, though.

I definitely agreed with the judges that Clark seemed much more interested in showing off her legs than she did with taking a decent photo. All in all, she won't be missed.

I also agreed that Samantha's tidal wave photo was the best, and I love her haircut.

So, what did you think? Is Joslyn's performance slipping? Is Marjorie really insecure, or is it a ploy for sympathy? Should Clark have been eliminated? Why isn't Sheena's picture in the Model Portfolio on the CW site?
