Anybody else still watching BB? I was watching Big Brother After Dark from Thursday night (which I think I'll do again, just Thursday after the HoH), and it was so fascinating! They had a whole conversation about how Friday-Monday is so boring and they wish they'd have a luxury comp, but probably not, since Sunday's episode would have to include the end of the HoH, so there wouldn't be time. I was fascinated with how savvy they are about production (even though every time they went down that road, the producers tried to cut them off -- at another point they were talking about the audition process, and that was also a no-no, apparently). They also spent a LOT of time talking about past seasons and what had happened with specific competitions. Those people are really serious about Big Brother. Which is good, I guess?

I just heard Survivor casting news that made me squeal: Lisa Welchel from the Facts of Life is going to be on ! As well as a former player for the Mets, and three former contestants who all had to be medivacced out. I might watch this season.

Amy,

She is kind of a crazy religious fanatic now (IIRC) so I hope that part of her is not emphasized. I don't want to hate her.

NON-FICTION crisis (that means a real one) REAL!!! natter needs fixing. omg, we may have to vote Jesse off to isolation island.

I SAID I WAS SORRY.

Anyway, I'm not here to make friends.

Jesse's just Playing the Game. Sheesh.

msbelle threw Jesse Under the Bus.

Hahaha.

I thought maybe the posts in here were because FaceOff started back up. FaceOff started back up. The winning makeup was absolutely amazing.

So I just finally got a chance to watch the Mia SYTYCD. I was...disappointed, mostly. I felt like pretty much every one of the dances was better in the original. And I kept seriously disagreeing with the judges and being like "What crack are you smoking?!" (though part of it was me going "EW, DEAD DADDY DANCE"). Nigel was on weird stuff "Do you know how old she was when her dad died? Do you know what he did?"

And then they sent Amelia and PoorMan'sGosling home! BOO. I actually enjoyed the Amelia/Will booty dance more than the original, which is more than I can really say for the rest of them. I'm fine with them keeping George, but really not happy about the girls (though I also would've liked to keep Amber last week, so)

I also went to see Step Up Revolution, and was horribly disappointed. There were like, six good minutes in the whole movie (dancing, dancing, and a few moments of Twitch, because he's adorable). The plot was RIDICULOUS. And I'm judging on the low standards that these plots usually have. Some of the dancing was cool. But I couldn't stop rolling my eyes.

I was wondering while watching SYTYCD, is there not any kind of rule against professional dancers? Seems like already being a dancer for Cirque de Soleil or a major ballet company would be a pretty clear indicator that person can, indeed, Dance, and is already getting paid to do so. I get that it helps their careers to be on national TV, but why allow them in the competition? Seems like a slightly unfair field to start with.

I think this is an interesting question/point. I mean, sure, mostly it's been ballet dancers, and ballet hasn't been a big part of the show, but...still.

Alex has announced he's coming back as an All Star, so that'll be fun!
