Big Brother Bullets:
  • Can't the Big Bro producers provide waterproof mascara to idiot Danielle?
  • Loved Danielle's version of he "Fool me once, Fool me twice, Fool me three times mantra...yes Danielle...fool you three times and you are a dumb ass!
  • At least the giant pimple on Danielle's forward cleared up in time for the finale.
  • Ian's walking around, quacking to himself...is that part of his OCD or is he odder than I thought?
  • I can't believe they are prolonging the show with clips and flashbacks at this point
  • 3 minutes before the end of the show they run the beginning of the last HOH endurance competition...c'mon CBS...total bullish*t!
Over on Real Housewives of NJ,  the  entire episode was filled with a whole lot of awkward.  The Manzo's all having brunch together with Albie's girlfriend...awkward.  The Wakile's meeting with the Bindi food executives...awkward.  The Gorga's meeting with record execs at The Russian Tea Room of all places? AWKWARD!  Playdate at Theresa's house...awkward. Ashley and Jaqueline Skyping...awkward.   I can't  stand Kim D from Posche. What was with the Metro Pools tank top?  I don't know if it was a set up or what, but  the entire scene at the Allure salon was just bizarre and...AWKWARD.  Kim D is such a troublemaker and kept pushing and pushing for Angelo to fork over the details of when Melissa "worked" for him as a "dancer" at a "gentleman's club".  Theresa it played off like she was uncomfortable and didn't want to hear it, but she didn't have the camera's turned off either. If that wasn't enough super awkward moment when Angelo and Melissa "bump" into each other at the fashion show.  Looks like all hell breaks loose on next weeks finale episode.  Of course it does.   

This weeks Married to Jonas left me with the same question it leaves me with every time I watch it.  What is it about Dani that made Kevin Jonas fall so hard for her?  Yes she is cute, has a great body knows how to dress and a great appreciation for capri pants, but she's also, anxious, nervous, uncomfortable, and she lacks confidence which is amazing to me.  If I was able to meet, date and marry a Jo Bro, I think I'd be pretty impressed with myself.  Dani isn't at all. She practices what to say at parties, takes classes on how to pose for photo shoots and really seems to be a bundle of nerves most of the time.  This week Kevin and Dani posed for Social Life magazine and they were supposed to host a big party in the Hamptons but Dani got into a car accident and got banged up a bit so they had to cancel.  Prior to all of that, Kevin Jonas Sr. was honored as Father of the Year by the Diabetes foundation. Mrs. Jonas was wearing black leather gloves to the event.  It looked really weird, but since she is the epitome of confidence, I'm guessing she knows what she's doing and honestly even if she didn't, I wouldn't mess with her, she seems like she would kick my butt if she didn't like what I thought or said about her.  I had no idea that Nick Jonas has Type 1 Diabetes and has since he was a kid.  No capri pants this week for Kevin, which honestly was a bit of a relief, I really find it hard to concentrate when he wears them.  


Breaking Amish is just too crazy to not watch.  This week the cast left their homes and headed to NYC for sensory overload.  Everything was new and overwhelming to them.  Just seeing them explore their hotel room, the elevator, the gym and the city streets was amusing.  If it were me, the first thing I would do is lose the awful, drab weird clothes and hats and try to fit in a bit, but maybe the producers need them to wear their Amish garb for the show? One of the girls on the show has false teeth and she hides them in her head covering. False teeth freak me out.  I felt like gagging when they showed them. The cast learned about junk food and alcohol pretty quickly.  That's the bulk of what they've done since being away from home.  I know I said I was hoping to forget about this show, but...I just couldn't.  The Amish are fascinating.


This week's episode of Tanked featured one of my favorite TV guys, Neil Patrick Harris.  I'm not sure if you guys are aware, but in addition to all of his other great talents, NPH is a pretty decent magician and the President of the Academy of Magical Arts. Sure it sounds like something from Harry Potter, but basically it's the governing body of magicians around the country.  Anyway...Neil asked Brett and Wayde, my favorite aquarium builders, to build a tank for the Magic Castle in Los Angeles.  They did an amazing job as always. Check it out in this photo!  It's a Houdini Water Torcher replica!  Way cool.  There was also a sub story about some magical person who was able to get into Wayde's office even though the door was locked. It drove Wayde so crazy that he set up a camera to find out who the culprit was...turns out it was the cat who was able to open the door from the inside.  Pretty hilarious actually.  I love Tanked, glad to know I'm in good company.

Looks like American Idol finally has their judges locked in for this season.  Randy Jackson is sticking around and there will be 3 new judges, Keith Urban, Mariah Carey and Nicki Minaj. I can only imagine how early the hair, makeup and wardrobe teams will have to be at the studio to get these women put together for the show every week.   I already feel bad for Keith Urban.  Between Mariah and Nicki,  Keith could may never get a word in.  Either way, I think it could be good TV don't you?  

I checked out the first 25 minutes of the Season 2 premiere episode of Homeland over the weekend...can't wait to see the rest of it.  Even the first 25 minutes gets your blood flowing, of course the clip left me hanging, like any awesome clip should.  If you want to watch it, here's the link.  If you want to wait until 9/30...I respect that.  Just trying to get you all psyched for it. 

Every time I watch Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee, all I think about is that none of these guys have ever, sat in an office, or worked normal hours, or had a boss, or struggled with the copy machine or anything.  They pretty much hang out all day making each other laugh and then hang out at night  and make the public laugh.  While I completely understand that it takes work, talent, practice etc.  It's gotta be a decent life once you start making some money. Really funny Downton Abbey mention in this one.

I love a good Infographic.  This one has nothing to do with TV, but since I  love music and thought this was was fun stuff, I had to share.   Just goes to show that we aren't that different from one another all around the world:
  • Top 5 cities worldwide that share the most music: London, Sao Paulo, Istanbul, Madrid, Bogota &  Los Angeles (NY was 6th)
  • Most shared Artists in London: One Direction, Drake & Lana Del Rae
  • Most shared Artists in Sao Paulo: Calvin Harris, One Direction & Coldplay
  • Most shared Artists in Istanbul: Sazen Aksu, Dynan, Adele
  • Most shared Artists in Philadelphia: Whitney Houston, Rihanna & One Direction
  • Most shared Artists in Bogota: Adele, Coldplay & Ricardo Arjona
  • Most shared Artists Worldwide: One Direction, Adele, Rihanna, Katy Perry and Justin Bieber
  • Most popular day to share songs: Tuesday
6 DAYS TIL EMMY DAY! IF YOU HAVEN'T FILLED OUT OR SENT BACK YOUR EMMY BALLOT, PLEASE GET IT IN! 

Monday's Trivia Question: I've had quite a few requests for Saved by the Bell Trivia.  Since I didn't watch that one, I asked for some help this week. Thank you to Heather Sparks...she is this week's Saved by the Bell Guest Trivia Contributor:  Here's the question: Jessie, Lisa & Kelly formed their own singing group. What was it called?
