Weekend Rant - What was that all about?

Jericho went back to square one this week with the town going all revolution on the the new government. There was even a brief (and some how completely inexplicable) appearance of Jake's mom (Pamela Reed) and the impending threat of another nuclear explosion. All this and one episode left and the clock is ticking.... personally I hope they blow everything up and it ends once and for all. I was not impressed with the second season, and sorry "Jericho nuts", but if you really wanted the show to succeed you would have tuned in.... no whining about it's time slot, if you are a fan then you make time or record it...

Pussycat Dolls presents Girlicious continued it's season with the remaining girls being sexy and singing some of that good old time Rock & Roll.. some more drama and it appears that that my least favorite girl, Natalie, has a melt down and and death in the family (grandma), and as much as I don't like her I still have to have some sympathy. I still don't want her to win and hope her time is up soon.
There was more bitchy cat fights, a scream down in the kitchen and Jenna "threatening" to leave the show. When all was said and done, my fave, Ilisa gets eliminated and Jenna is almost dismissed, but since that would seems maybe odd that both the "bigger" girls got offed the same week, they keep whiner Jenna and let Jamie go.... all stupid choices... but then again does this show really "choose" the winning group or is it just another vanity project for Robin Antin? I am not expecting Girlicious to be some huge interesting group or anything...

Weekend Rant -- Going for Broke

Jericho grabbed some points with me this week as the story line developed a bit more, we saw a couple of characters that haven't been around much this time around and our deaf character (Bonnie) made the ultimate sacrifice this week and looks like she is becoming a martyr for Jericho.

The developing storyline (which took too long for me, they should have tried to make things roll quicker with their limited amount of episodes) grabbed my attention and I suddenly was interested (once again) with the town of Jericho and their struggles to survive in this "Brave New World".

Unfortunately I think it was a little too late and I doubt we will see anymore episodes after the final 3... which might be too bad...

Pussycat Dolls present Girlicious is the kind of bitch fest that I can really appreciate and has turned into one of those "Guilty Pleasures" that I can stop watching... as usual I am cheering for Ilisa (the tall redhead that doesn't fit the same breast-enhanced mold that most of the other bimbos came from) who is the under dog, but is more real and talented than some of the Britney wanna-bees. Their little group competitions each week are fun to watch and there has been some great stuff so far.

I have developed a strong dislike of Natalie who thinks she is " all that" and the sure fire winner. The thing that kills me is that winning is for a spot in a group of 3, and if you can't play nice with others I don't think that you will win ... after all talent and the right slutty look isn't the only thing that they want... you have to be a team player. ( Mind you anyone else remember Destiny's Child ?)

Pussycat Dolls CEO Robin Antin looks like one tough bitch to please or is that because her face is so tight she always has the same expression? Does it really matter?

Jericho - Condor

I have to say that I am not loving this second season of Jericho. I did like it last year, but there are too many characters missing (like Jake's mom and that nerdy kid that ran the store), and the new direction with the various leaders in a divided America is just not doing it for me.


I feel bad for all involved, they were canceled, got tons of fans to send in peanuts (NUTS!) and make some noise with the big guys, and it seems all a big waste... the ratings suck, the story drags and it is missing it's heart from last year.


Sometimes it's just better to "Let a sleeping dog lie" ... I wonder where all those fans are from last year?
