Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

OK, it's the episode that my DVR describes as "Dr. Rey speaks to risky teenagers; Dr. Alter helps a transsexual patient," although I have yet to see either of those plotlines. Edit: oop, there they both are.

And Dr. Will made a surprisingly credible doctor! He was totally straight-faced through the whole safe-sex lecture.

Edit again: This episode also has one of my favorite reccuring Dr. 90210 phenomena: a FTM transsexual getting top surgery, and they blur out the nipples before the surgery, but not after. Because, of course, men can be bare-chested on TV.

BB: I'm starting to think Amber might need the drugs to even her out a little. Because, DAMN with the crying!

I meant the Bad Drugs like she used to do, but yeah, she could clearly use the Good Drugs.

I would so love for Jen to spoil ED and Danielle's plans to oust her and I never thought that I would root for Jen against anyone at the start of the season. I think I really want to see Amber freak out and start sobbing all over Drew Carey when she misses a question on The Power of 10 that God just promised her she would get right. And I'm sorry, America, but Eric is a ginormous tool and I cannot wait for him to get voted out of the house so that y'all can get the hell up out of my game.

Can't even comment on Dr. Will and Mike Boogie's penis, though I remember the both of them doing an interview about this Dr. 90210 thing ages ago on some reality tv stars "Where are they now?" type show. That was also the show where Dr. Will announced that he had copyrighted the term "showmance". Industry rule #4080, folks.

Thrive to spite them

This is interesting aout Big Brother [link]

You'll have to scroll down, but NOW is asking that people call/write and protest that Dick has been verbally abusing female contestants, especially Jen, without being told to stop. Evidentally he's said if he wasn't in the house he'd kill her and he dumped a drink on her and said he wished it was piss.

I haven't been following BB all that closely but I know that Dick has been getting a favorable edit on CBS and that those watching Show Time 2 and the live feeds have seen that he's been mean to all the women and doing things like berating them or being mean and then later wanting a hug or sort of apologizing.

I didn't know that the Girls Gone Wild guy was on BB
