Girlicious: Thank god it`s FINALLY over

After the last couple of months, and last week`s ultra suckey episode where not one of the girls got eliminated, they finally decided to go with 4 of the girls (instead of the 3 that they said they were looking for) and poor Charlye was the only girl eliminated. Why you ask? Because she was HONEST and told the Judges that she wasn`t interested in being in a group with those 2 bitches, Natalie (uber bitch) and Chrystina (baby bitch).

I think the thing I found the most hilarious was how Charlye just up and vanished off the stage the moment she was eliminated... and was not interested in hanging around to see what happened next. It`s a shame really, because she has such talent and hopefully she will find something more interesting to do. All in all, I am pretty disappointed with the last couple of weeks and the sudden changes in group numbers. If Charlye had played nice would it have been all the girls? I still see some major meltdowns happening (I bet that Tiffanie will leave over time as she wasn`t too fond of those other 2 girls) and I can`t see how they can advertise that the 4 girls are the `Best of friends` --- we all watched the show and saw how catty and bitchy some of them are. Anyways.... let`s just hope that there are no more vanity projects in the future for Ms Antin ... do we really need another Pussycat Dolls clone?

Girlicious - Star Quality

Things are getting down to choosing the final 3, and this week the ­­­­`girls` were split into 2 groups of 3 to do some `Old school` songs (more of a burlesque feel like the Pussycat Dolls)and there was much drama about Chrystina being with the `other girls` instead of bff Natalie. As a surprise our gang were sent off to film for their first music video and joy of joys, they were filming on a yacht and got all decked out in the trashiest and miniest sailor outfits.

Robin pulls her other sibling (Steven) in as producer for the video and I am thanking the Gods that her brother Jonathon (he of the `banging` hair ) has not been seen this season. I wonder if there are others lurking somewhere else..

Natalie is still being one of the biggest bitches on the show and goes on and on about having won the Charisma challenge it will be easy to pull out the Star Quality and show the other girls what it is all about.

Yeah right....

The filming goes okay... but Carrie is still struggling with dancing (the girl can rock a song like no one) and the filming is a challenge for her. Chrystina keeps getting out performed by the girls around here and it shows that her confidence is taking a hard hit this time around. I am not sure if they keep trying to sell Natalie as a viable contender (or they keep highlighting her because she has that bitch factor) and there is the whole trashy bathtub scene with her and Chrystina bonding instead of practicing. I am pretty sure their work ethic is being noted and it will impede them from winning.

After all the drama, Carrie is finally eliminated (too rock and too tall if you look at the other girls) and Natalie is in the bottom 2. Charlye and Nichole are my 2 picks for being in the group, and the final position will be more than likely Tiffanie. I just want to see Natalie hit the road next week, and was giggling with delight this week when she was told that she was weak and needed the group to support her..... yeah right... Star Quality??? LOL

Weekend Rant - Endings & Beginnings

What a week.... not only did we start getting towards the end of Girlicious (and what a bitchfest that " Road so far" episode was..) but we got the awesome finale of " Make Me a SuperModel" and the first episode of the final season of Battlestar Galactica........ all that and the season finale of Torchwood and the brand new season of Doctor Who.

Honestly my head is spinning with all the starting and stopping, but here is a quick rant on my TV viewing.

Girlicious is the delicious train wreck that I expect it to be. The "girls" (all different versions it appears) are so catty and difficult with each other that you can hardly see 3 of them working together, let alone forming the "Next great girl group". Yeah right... This show is such a joke... and fills that void missing by shows like JDMA or any other bitchy dribble. I will be along for the ride, always hoping that bitchy Natalie doesn't go all the way..

Make me a SuperModel finished things in fine fashion with Holly taking home the big prize (and well deserved) while my favorite Ronnie came in second, followed by his bro-mance (Ben) and the ever bland Perry. Holly is the finest Hillbilly model since Elly May Clampett and made the season half the success it was. I loved all the "surprises" in the finale (Holly's fiance is hot..) but could have done with out the manufactured drama they call Perry. Puhleese...

Checked out " Step it up & Dance" and will give it another shot before dropping it.. am not sure if the show fills me "Dance" needs (Dancing with the Stars & Do You think You can Dance usually do that) but it did have some interesting moments in it's first look.

Concerning Survivor: Micronesia: DO NOT F**K with Ozzy. I was upset the Amy got the boot after butting heads with superstar man. The game is getting meaner but I still want Ozzy to win.

Battlestar Galactica started off the season strong with continuing the storyline from over a year ago (time flies..) and the discovery that " “There are twelve Cylon models. Seven are Known. Four are Hidden. One Remains” and that things are as fracking complicated and interesting as before.

The return of Starbuck and the strife that the situation creates, the struggle with some of the crew learning that they are Cylon, the new status of Baltar amongst some of the crew.... the situations and characterizations are dead on as usual. I loved the scene with our Four chatting together (and some of the weird flashes, it kind of reminded me of Lost at times) and the big fight scene with Anders getting scanned and then the Cylons retreating. This is not simple Sci Fi, it's complex pathos and humanity and inhumanity all woven into one complicated Gordian knot.

And like that famous knot, this one has is coming to it's inevitable conclusion at the end of the series and this part of the story. ( which probably means that it will finish with them discovering Earth.)

I am still along for the ride.. and yet still dreading "The End" as in some ways I don't want the stories to end and I want to see more of the characters, but then again there might be some kind of continuation in the adaptation to life in our universe after this series. I do know that I will be enjoying the series as long as it continues.

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?
