Suits 

The entire Summer season of Suits was all about getting out and staying in. Harvey getting Mike out of Prison, Mike getting Kevin out of prison, Cahill getting Mike out and making Mike stay. Harvey and Mike keeping Frank in prison and getting Sutter sent to prison. Rachel and Jessica were trying to get Leonard Bailey off death row. Did everyone forget that the firm was in ruins and had lost all of its clients? None of our Pearson Spector Litt buddies seemed worried about cutting back on expenses. Louis not only got Donna to mud with him, he actually wanted to spring for more mud time. Let's face it, upscale mudding's got to be pretty pricey. So where did we net out? Mike's out, Kevin's out, Frank's in and Leonard's on the bubble. Harvey didn't have to let his driver go and Louis actually got the girl. Mike was able to practice law from prison even though everyone knew he wasn't really a real lawyer. Not sure I understood any of that but okay, I went with it. No idea where Mike goes from here. Sure he and Rachel will spend some time snuggling in the apartment they didn't have to downsize and then what? Guess we'll have to wait a while to see how this all plays out. I'd really like Harvey to find love. Whether it's with Donna or someone else, I really need the show to wrap up soon. I'm ready. Are you? 

Bigggggg Brother

• Snoutlet and Cory make me sick
• Snoutlet's crying in the diary room was a really ugly cry
• Paul and his beard have Natalie's number DOWN. She's playing the ditzy dumb brunette really well. Unfortunately a little too late.
• Macgyver plug, Macgyver plug. Name the actor who played the ORIGINAL Macgyver!!! BONUS POINTS PEOPLE
• Does Natalie know the definition of Soul Mate?
• Really enjoyed the Macgyvery challenge
• Amazed Natalie figured out the challenge so quickly, see, she's really NOT a ditzy brunette, Paul was right! 
• Snoutlet doesn't know what mechanics are? Isn't she a nurse? Pretty scary that she doesn't know that but she handles the lives of human beings for a living. 
• BUMMMMMMER...Cory won the Veto from Natalie
• I hate the final four alliance...
• Natalie just laid out her "Soul Mate," James. proof positive she doesn't know what a Soul Mate is
• It's GOTTA hurt to have your nipple tattooed
• Shameless Macgyver plug during the Veto ceremony. Did James get paid for that one? 
• Of course Cory didn't use the Veto so who will go home tomorrow??? James or Natalie.
• My money's on Natalie 
• I feel really bad for James...Natalie just totally jumped ship, blamed him for everything and broke his heart. Not cool Nat  
• 
  Love at First Kiss
  Is anyone out there watching this insanity? Yes, I know, I'm out of my mind and still watching this ridiculous show. I guess I just can't get over how truly screwed UP people are. I think I'm pretty good at telling if both parties enjoyed their kiss, but the kissees aren't good at sizing up the strangers lips at all. I can't believe how many of these idiots not only think the kiss was amazing, but that they may have just kissed THE ONE. The love of their life. Then we see the love of their life walk out the side door and into the parking lot. It's really pathetic sometimes. This is another show that needs a clock added to it. Seeing these freaks waiting for their dates on street corners for what seems like hours is really a waste of my time.  The Fall season really can't come soon enough. I need to move on from this train wreck and into something else. I was told to check out Atlanta on FX and Queen Sugar on OWN. Anyone on those yet? Of course...I should focus on finishing up Season 2 of Narcos rather than this piece of crap but that wasn't happening last night for some reason. What is wrong with me? 

-Tyrant's DONE. Last night was the last episode ever. Another series finale nobody knew ws coming. I really do like this new strategy. I begged for the show to be cancelled midway through Season 2 which totally stunk. Guess someone got the message. Buh bye Barry!

-Sad about Tyrant? Don't be...good news...Bachelor in Paradise was renewed! 

-Bridget Jones Baby. Is there ANYONE in the universe that hasn't seen the commercial for this movie? How much do you think the advertising budget for this thing was? I feel like I've been seeing the commercials for months. I'm also pretty sure that I know the entire movie with the exception of who the baby daddy really is just from the commercial. Patrick Dempsey or Colin Firth?  My bet is that we never find out the truth just like in The Night Of. I'm not going to see it, will someone let me know if I'm right? 

-Kelly Ripa teased all of us losers about a biiiiiig annoucement today. Key word TEASE. No big co-host reveal. Not yet. First they're stringing us all along, probably through Sweeps with a big viewer co-host contest that I would TOTALLY enter if I didn't have a day job. Man would I love a crack at that gig. Morris Chestnut's been on the past 2 days and he's been pretty good. Next week, Busy Philips, Jussie Smollett, Mark Consuelos and Chris Pratt will all take turns in the co-host chair. I'm really hoping that Mark's new show on FOX called The Pitch, is a hit, but if it isn't, he's always good in the co-host chair, it just may not good for the dinner table. 


Tuesday's Trivia Question: Gillian Anderson...aka Dana Skully from the X-Files and Jamie Dornan...aka Christian Gray from 50 Shades both star in this BBC Drama.

Rob Lowe Roast
Rob Lowe kept me up til midnight last night, not in the way I always dreamed of though. The Comedy Central roast of Rob was what kept me up laughing past my bedtime. No idea how they choose the roasters. I had no idea who Nikki Glaser, Jimmy Carr or Ann Coulter were. Nikki and Jimmy were actually pretty funny but Ann was somehow the star of this roast. She was roasted, ripped apart and skewered. Her reactions and non-reactions were priceless.  I can't imagine anyone would take so much abuse just to sell a book, but she sure did. Rob was a great sport throughout the entire event. His wife 2 sons and less attractive bro, Chad were all in the audience which had to be super awkward. Pretty sure every roaster brought up Rob's sex tape, the underage girls and the nanny lawsuits. The car ride home had to be pretty uncomfortable. Who knew Jewel was so funny? Pete Davidson was sporting some pretty crazy sneakers and seemed to be hammered mid way through the event. He spit out his drink a few times and really gave it to Ann Coulter. Jeff Ross is supposed to be the roast master, but this was one of his weakest performances I've ever seen. Peyton Manning was hilarious and took all the jokes about him and his massive head pretty well. Ralph Macchio, Rob's co-star from The Outsiders was on hand. He looks good, but wasn't the greatest. David Spade was on all the talk shows before the roast and said he hated hosting. You could tell. He wasn't taking any of the jokes well at all. I wouldn't say this was the best roast ever, but any excuse to look at Rob Lowe for 2 hours is fine by me.

Random Thoughts and Info from Vacation

I've been gone for sooooo long. Have you missed me? Vacation was a blast. Nothing like 2 weeks at the beach. The weather couldn't have been better and I won my family Mini Golf Tournament for the first time in 4 years. Huge win, the plaque's been ordered, ceremony TBD. While I was away, I watched a ton, read a ton and kept up with all my TV/Video news. Not sure how much you guys know already, so forgive the old stuff. I'm going to go with bullets just to keep things as flowing, so here goes:

• Comedy Bang Bang's 5th season will be its last
• Jim Gaffigan and his wife cancelled their show about their family to spend more time with their real family. Personally, I'd stay with the show. It's gotta be easier than being home with 5 kids. 
• The next season of Pretty Little Liars will be its last. 
• Grimm's next season will also be its last.
• The Oscars will stay on ABC through 2028 in case you were nervous about them jumping ship
• TLC renewed Too Close to Home. Never heard of it, never watched it. 
• Devious Maids was cancelled
• AMC cancelled Feed the Beast and I feel like it's partially my fault. I watched it, I really liked it and I rarely told anyone how good it was. Sort of bummed. Feel bad for Schwimmer.
• Connie Britton's leaving Nashville midway through CMT's upcoming season which means, I'm leaving Nashville midway through CMT's upcoming season. 
• Read Jon Cryer's book and found out that the word "Pompitous" featured in the Steve Miller tune "The Joker" is a nonsense word that Miller misheard from an old R&B tune called "The Letter." The guy that wrote "The Letter" made up his the nonsense word, "puppetu." Miller thought he said POMPITOUS. The word is supposed to mean "a secret that you only share with someone you truly love" Interesting, right?
• Finished HBO's THE NIGHT OF. Felt totally gypped. I wanted a verdict. If I couldn't have a verdict, I needed to see what actually happened THE NIGHT OF THE MURDER. Totally pissed me off.
• Gave in and watched all of STRANGER THINGS on Netflix. Loved it but it was way too scary for me. The kids were awesome. Loved Dustin, the kid with no teeth. Props to Wynona Ryder for comeback of the year, but it's BARB who seems to be receiving all the Internet love.
• I'm obsessed with loving & hating Jeremy and Audrey Roloff. Now they're in a car commercial and it's infuriating.
• The new online only Big Brother starts on 9/28. We'll get 24/7 access and a lot of influence over the game but the actual show will be a 1 day a week commitment which I can manage. 
• As for the current Big Brother...Paulie turned out to be a doosh, James screwed up BIG TIME and now I'm rooting for Paul even with that nasty ass beard.
• Watched all of The Get Down. Felt nothing
• Watched all of Casual. Thoroughly enjoyable
• Watched the Kevin Bacon Amazon pilot, I LOVE DICK...Jill Holloway, the woman behind Transparent, is also behind this one. The only thing I like about the show is Kevin Bacon. Lets see if it gets picked up. Kevin's been all over the talk shows getting the word out which is a whole new thing. It's JUST a pilot, he's trying to get the votes. 
• Watched an amazing documentary called INVENTING DAVID GEFFEN. I could watch this thing 10 more times. So interesting. 
• Britney Spears Carpool Karaoke was awful...she didn't know the words to any of her own songs. Didn't see it? Here you go: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pSd9hiBGoE0
• Barbra Streisand and Alec Baldwin on Jimmy Fallon just felt weird to me. Did you guys see it? No? Here you go: http://www.nbc.com/the-tonight-show/video/barbra-streisand-and-alec-baldwin-the-best-thing-that-ever-has-happened/3089986
• The MTV VMA's were unwatchable. Other than Joe and Nick Jonas, nobody on the red carpet could speak intelligently. I could barely understand anything anyone said. There was a guy named Desiigner who just made screechy sounds. No real words that I could figure out. The show itself was pretty boring. Rhianna barely sang, but they gave her 3 different segments to perform. Beyonce got 20 minutes and Kanye got to introduce his new soft core porn video with a 4 minute nonsensical rant while his wife looked on. WTF happened to that show. Remember how good it once was? Remember when there were actual videos to give awards to? YOU TUBE PLEASE TAKE THIS OVER TOO!!! 
• Dancing with the Stars revealed the new cast. Nobody at all that would get me to watch: Ryan Lochte, Laurie Hernandez, Maureen McCormick, Marilu Henner, Babyface, Terra Jole, Jake T. Austin, Calvin Johnson, James Hinchcliffe & Jana Kramer.

Bigggggg Brother

• Paul and Paulie...bromance officially OVER PP-P=P

• Paulie/Cory Soundtrack was hilarious
• Gotta giver Michelle credit for telling Paulie she wouldn't save him if she won the veto
• Operation Rattle Paulie didn't work, he took credit for that "play" coming right out of his own playbook
• I forgot all about the Detanators  (Cody and Derek)
• James called out Cody for the way he spoke to the girls. Yeah James
• Zingbot's allowed to say douchbag?
• I want a Zingbot for President hat
• Best Houseguest Zing...PAUL's
• Paulie has to bake pies for the rest of the show. Good thing he's going home tonight. 
• Cory's Patriot Tard looked good on him and turned Snoutlet on big time
• Paul has to find and pat down everyone and clear all checkpoints every time there is a red alert. Super annoying punishment
• Paulie cried like a baby
• Nobody used the Veto he's going home tonight

Love at First Kiss
My husband actually watched Love at First Kiss with me last night. The concept is so insane, and yet, we  just had to watch. Didn't check out any of the Olympics at all. On last nights show, a guy with Asbergers not on only got through to the speed date, he got through for a second date and ended up driving away with the girl in his Jaguar convertible. He came clean and told the girl about his Asbergers right away and she was like "that's cool." I wonder if we find out what happens with everyone at some point. I need to know about those 2. I thought the first lesbian kiss went really well and they'd be moving in together by the end of the episode but one of the girls didn't even show up for the speed date. That girl was GORGEOUS. Total bummer she didn't show up for round 2.  It's BRUTAL when one person is waiting to see if the other shows up for the speed date or the second date and they get stood up.  I wonder how long the producers let them sit there before telling them the other person's not coming. There was one girl who had way too much make-up, hair extensions, fake lashes, a too tight dress, and an awful personality. She was into African American guys apparently and thought the first guy was THE ONE, he showed up to the speed date planted another hot kiss on her and ran for the hills. He knew she was an empty shell. For the second guy, the same girl took off the make-up, took out the hair extensions, wore leggings and a simple top  and got through the speed round and the 2nd date but something was off with the second African American guy. He was an economist but he seemed like he wasn't all there or something. I really need to know what happens with everyone. Maybe they tell us at the end?

THE OTHER STUFF

-Feeling pretty bad for my friends at Pivot. The network's shutting down after 4 years. I did my part. I begged people to watch Hit Record, the Joseph Gordon Levitt show, but I'm guessing that if I never had the network on my cable system, a lot of you guys didn't either. Hoping some of the shows find homes on Amazon, Hulu or Netflix. Wishing everyone at Pivot the best of luck. It was a good idea and a great effort but it's tough out there for everyone in the content world these days. A niche network focusing on Millenials that tried to inspire social action and social responsibility just couldn't find it's audience and build the momentum it needed to survive. 

Thursday's Trivia Question: I'm going on vacation...remember when the Brady Bunch went on vacation? They went on a three over the course of the show. Name all 3 of the Brady's vacation destinations.

THE SHOWS

Married at First Sight
I really think UnReal has ruined reality TV for me. Last nights episode of Married at First Sight was super lame.  Pretty sure that Tom and Lillian kissed a thousand times. They repeatedly told us how happy and thrilled they were that they had found their soulmate. Boring, right? You could feel the producers screaming "BORING" So Lillian freaked out when Tom commented about people with fancy cars. Apparently Lillian has a nice car and was offended by his remark. Drammmma. Of course they made up 5 seconds later and resumed kissing every 3 seconds. Tom hasn't told Lillian that he lives in a bus yet. That will make things interesting but it's obvious that the producers want him to wait as long as possible to tell her. Keep us all in suspense as long as they can. Same EXACT thing with Nick and Sonia except for the fact that they aren't very affectionate with each other yet. I don't love Nick. He's pretty much emotionless. I really like Derek but Heather's a nit-picky bitch. She just cannot get past the fact that the dude's smoked a cigarette every day since they've been together. People smoke when they're stressed Heather. Marrying a stranger is stressful, give the guy a break. Derek came back at her and called her an alcoholic. I haven't seen Derek take a long drag or Heather do a shot, so not sure how bad the situation really is. They're interesting to watch but again, I feel a bit manipulated by the producers. Let's get to the bus already. The bus at this point is the star of the show for me. 
 

THE OTHER STUFF

-I have no reason why anyone wouldn't have Amazon Prime. Pretty much anything can be shipped to your home within 24 hours AND you get lots of free stuff including...original programming.  If for some crazy reason you are NOT an Amazon Prime member and haven't been able to watch some of Amazon's originals...they've made it EVEN easier for you to check them out for free. Transparent, The Man in the High Castle and a bunch of other pilots are now available for anyone. Check out Amazon's YouTube page or their Facebook page and start bingeing on pilots. If the ability to receive anything you can think of in a day won't get you to sign up for the service maybe Jeffery Tambor in pumps and a dress will. 

-Speaking of women in a dress...Caitlyn Jenner's show, I Am Cait won't be back for a 3rd Season. Turns out, we're all just not that into her. I'm pretty sure we've all cast her aside in favor of Pokemon Go. She did her job, got the transgender topic front and center, then like every other shiny new object in our lives, we got bored with Cait and started chasing Pokemon all over town. Not sure what's next for her.  Bottom surgery in Rio might get us all interested again. 
 
-Mr. Robot was renewed for a 3rd season. No big shocker there, but I haven't heard much at all about Season 2. Buzz and ratings seems to have tapered off quite a bit. I wonder if my friend Brett Blattman's still watching. He was constantly telling me to watch this show after Season 1 and I just never got into it. Still good, Brett? 

-Univision's buying Gawker for $135 million bucks which is good news for Gawker. The Hulk Hogan thing forced Gawker into bankruptcy so they realllllly needed someone to fork over some dough and help them out.  Start writing that thank you note Gawker. Just write it in Espanol.

 -Britney Spears has made out with Madonna and giant snake on the MTV Awards. To promote her new album, she's doing Car Karaoke with James Corden and who knows what she's planning but she's confirmed for the VMA's  too. Not sure how she'll top herself and shock us all but I'm sure there's a team of people working on exactly that right now. Heyyyy wait...Caitlyn Jenner's out of work, maybe pull her on stage and makeout with her???


Wednesday's Trivia Question: How many medals did Bruce Jenner, aka Caitlyn, win in the 1976 Olympic Games?
