Unless you're the lucky bastard that gets to be part of the show that has only $3,749.00 in their checking account.
This is an interesting point. If it's a voting/elimination show a la Survivor, this guy has a handicap. Which kind of makes me salivate a little for this show-- I love fiendish strategery!
I saw about ten minutes of a rerun of "The Singing Bee" today. This is possibly the cheesiest show on the air.
Joey Tribbiani Fatone introduced the last round by saying, "It's the final countdown." And I thought, "Ha, like that song." And then the band lurched into motion, and some poor backup singer launched into "IT'S THE FINAL COUNTDOWN!"
I saw two episodes of The Singing Bee this weekend, and kind of loved it. Because I could play along! And it knew exactly how cheesy it is.
the reported "twist" in Rob Mariano's reality show is bugnuts
Holy crap. Seriously. Although I really can't imagine anyone with any money doing the show. "Hell, I've got a buck-fifty-two. I'm in!"
I thought each person was going to have to take out a life insurance policy in which the players were the beneficiaries in the order in which they placed in the game.
I actually would prefer this twist as opposed to the real one.
I loved Singing Bee because it was cheese on a stick. I was singing along the whole time.
SYTYCD: I loved Jesus and Sara's Wade routine and think it is hands down one of the best routines ever on this show. I loved Lacey and Kameron's Mia routine. I've also thought a lot of the ballroom routines have been better this year (probably thanks to tons less Alex DaSilva). And while I think the overall technical level of dancing among this group is higher than S2, there aren't the same big personalities. S2 had Benji and Ivan and Natalie and Travis and Musa . . . some really big personalities. Even some of the kids who got voted of early, Ben and Jaymz and Dmitri were very present. I mean, I remember Ben a lot more for his snarky, emo boy ways than for his dancing. I think both the choreography and the dancing from a techinical level have been solid for S3, but the people don't pop in the same way.
Is anyone watching Hell's Kitchen?? I missed a few minutes and missed something big, I think. Where did Josh go??
Oh I'm missing it because of The Closer (which is very very funny).
I have no idea what happened to Josh. But I knew that Ramsay was going to do something for Julia. I knew it! This is why I like Ramsay.
Josh was fired in the middle of service!
Awww, Chef Ramsey is sending Julia to culinary school.
What he do to get fired?
After seeing some of the stuff that Ramsay's said in interviews and also some of his actions on Nightmares I figured he'd do something like this. He really respects people with talent and work hard. I hope Julia has a shining career in her future.
