-Everything went pretty smoothly last night and I was able to get quite a bit of viewing in…I want to thank my doctors office for not having a packed waiting room when I arrived and for the first time ever, getting me out of there in under 15 minutes…YEAH!

-Quick Kelly update…PERFECTION all around for Kelly yesterday.  Great dress, great hair and I love the fact that she is now tweeting photos of her outfit prior to the show.  Kyle MacLaughlin was the co-host. So not a fan of his…never was and apparently whoever put the weird hair color into Alec Baldwins’ hair, also put it in Kyle’s yesterday…it looked awful.  Like I said not a fan.

-Okay, I did Tivo and view the premiere of SHAH’S OF SUNSET on Bravo. This show features a group of Persian friends who grew up in Beverly Hills. It’s one of those shows that if I had nothing better to do, of course I’d watch it…but honestly it didn’t get a Season Pass from me.  There was not one person on the show that I wanted to see again.  Sure it’s another group of very wealthy, sort of snobby people, but I just didn’t connect with them the way I would need to in order for it to get the esteemed Season Pass award.  There is one girl very beautiful girl named GG who is a spoiled snob, doesn’t work and just shops all day long.  She never wears an outfit twice.  She is so annoying and just not interesting to watch...I am guessing that Ryan Seacrest thought she would be the star of the show…the thing is…she is a b@tch, but an unlikable one.  I think that’s the problem here.

-Next up…THE VOICE. Lots of great battles, really great talent and I agreed with all of the choices by the judges.  The judges are the stars of this show…they really are.  Their faces, and their commentary are amazing.  I cannot believe that Blake had never heard the Nirvana song “Heart Shaped Box” but what made it so interesting and him even more appealing, is that he admitted it and came clean right from the get-go.  Christina’s sparkly flying saucer headband was still on, but it didn’t matter because all you cared about the entire time she was on the screen was…ARE THOSE BOOBS GOING TO FALL OUT OF THAT OUTFIT?”.  I don’t even understand how they stayed in…duct tape…crazy glue?  CeeLo apparently has quite a collection of satin jammies which he wore during the mentor sessions, with little gold lame slippers…I need to see that guys closet.  Prop cat made some dough last night with a very small appearance…but hey a bag of kitty litter is pricey these days.  I assume that Jewel is pregnant…did I miss that?  Need to check my People magazine or something…if she isn’t than what the heck happened to her?

-I am really not liking BETHENNY without Jason and I especially don’t like it when they are “on the rocks”.  Jason was only in the last 5 minutes of the show last night and I was bored without him quite frankly.  Note to the producers and the network…hard to have a cliffhanger moment if you reveal it in the coming attractions…obviously we knew that Jason gets on the boat with the doctor, because A) you guys showed it in the scenes and B) it was all over the news.

-My new favorite couple is ICE and COCO…I just absolutely love them.  Last night’s show started out with Coco boxing in…pretty much nothing…normally it would annoy me, but there is just something so funny about her that you just want to hug her.  Coco has been diagnosed with high blood pressure and goes to a nutritionist (after eating at THE BEST BURGER PLACE EVER-SHAKE SHACK) who tells her that pretty much everything she eats is bad for her.  When she goes home to clean out the house of all the food that ICE loves from the gas station down the street…his face is priceless…especially when she dumps the Kool-Aid. I had no idea people still drank Kool-Aid.  They are the best. 

-I heard Howard Stern complaining about who THE BACHELOR selected last night…means nothing to me since I don’t watch any dating shows (see all the WWTM rules on the blog)…but for all you BACHELOR lovers…let me know what you thought…if I get enough comments,  will write something up…I promise.
