April 2, 2010
Greetings...
Since the past few columns have been loaded with issues to voice
opinions about and raise a few people's blood pressure, I thought
I'd talk about nothing in particular and everything in general. I
realize opinions will also differ, but I doubt it will cause any
hard feelings, or at least I hope not...
Reality TV shows seem to be the rage more and more lately and while
I find most of them uninteresting, ie, Housewives of such and such,
Jersey Shore, and others that I can't even recall the names of, I
admit to watching some reality shows...
However, the ones that I watch are the ones that are competetive
in nature. Even though I still think this season of Idol sucks, I
am still watching it and I finally have a favorite even though he
may not be the winner or the most talked about, or the "favorite".
=
Lee "Doozy" as I call him. I love his raspy, Bryan Adams kind of
voice. I do think Crystal Bowersox has a great voice, but I still
don't think she would sell many CD's and her personality may give
record producers as well as herself, a few problems...
Big Mike is talented and a showman, but quite frankly, he acts like
he has already won it and the cockiness I see makes me want him to
get the boot each week. Casey...Hands down the winner of the most
adorable, handsome, sexy, etc. whatever you want to call him. He
has been getting better and better each week, but I don't think
his looks alone will be able to make him this year's winner unless
he really knocks everyone's socks off towards the end...
I like/liked Sibohan and think she has one heck of a powerful voice.
I think she could sell albums and be marketed to the under 30 crowd,
HOWEVER...Someone needs to make her STOP that high pitched note at
the end of every fricken song to try to punctuate her performance. It's=
starting to sound like a cat stuck on a ceiling fan - on high speed...
=
Tim Urban is this season's Sanjaya and amusing as heck because Simon is=
obviously disgusted by Urban still being in the competition, like he
was with Sanjaya. Just tuning in to see if Urban makes it another week
=
is enough to make an otherwise dreary season bearable...

The rest, whose names escape me right now, will all be going on tour
and I'm already wondering how well tickets will sell considering the
sell-out performances of previous years. I guess they can promise
everyone that Casey will take his shirt off once a performance...
And then, the judges...
Ellen has done remarkably well and any reservations I may have had
have faded, although I still think Paula is missing and that's because
=
of Kara. She is driving me nutz this season! She is babbling on and
on and it's almost like she's trying to position herself to be the
"important" judge next year after Simon leaves. I'm also tired of her=
leaning all over Simon... Speaking of Simon...
It's obvious he's "done" with American Idol and can't wait to be gone=
.
He looks like he is barely paying attention most of the time and any
of the criticism he gives seems different. He doesn't seem to want to
help with criticism, just criticize. I don't know if his back and forth=
with Ryan is hype, but I, for one, am uncomfortable with the way Simon
=
seems to be intentionally trying to humiliate Seacrest constantly. I've=
always liked Simon the best as far as being the best judge, but something=
is different this year and I believe it's him...
And Randy? Just record a few lines and he could take a vacation, or a nap=
...
"Yo Dawg", "I dunno, it just wasn't good for me", "It was the b=
omb"...
The other types of reality shows I watch are the Top Chef competitions,=
Iron Chef, Food Network, and Shear genius, a stylist competition. I
miss all the years I worked in a salon and all the drama takes me
back...
My mom and sister are big Dancing With The Stars fans. I watch it in
the beginning and then usually forget about it until the last few
weeks. A lot of good talent this season and who doesn't enjoy watching
=
Buzz Aldrin although the "cutes" should be done soon and save someone=
more deserving from getting kicked off, UNLESS it's Kate Gosselin.
What a .......If anyone watches the show and has for a few years,
you know her partner Tony is known for being one of THE nicest guys
on the planet and she managed to insult him and make him lose his cool.=
She scowls, frowns and shoots dagger looks at not only those around her,=
but the camera and I believe her partner is praying to have his season =
cut short, just to be done with her...
Kate plus eight makes me irate...

So, there ya have it, my view of a few shows that have millions of
viewers each week...
And because the column is pretty long today and most of you probably
stopped reading already, I'll mention the fact that today I hit the
double nickel mark. Yep, today is my birthday and I am now the age
of the legal speed limit on many highways...
Flyboy had to leave for work early today and we decided we'll celebrate=
my birthday after he gets back. Ginger, Moosie and I will just have
to party all by ourselves this year...
Have a great weekend everyone!
