American Idol is great, of course. I'm glad they kept the red-headed crooner kid, even with the big choke. If I was one who actually remembered my song, and still got bounced, I'd be all kinds of pissed.

That's what happened to the Mississippi gal who sang about the gay boyfriend--she remembered all her words, her song was funny, they told her it could be a country hit, then BAM! they cut her.

My favorites are Fantasia ("my lips are big, but my talent is bigger"--I was bummed when they cut her off before the high note in "Think"; she was singing it a bit higher than the original and if she pulled it off that would be really something) and the Rose Bowl guy who came out of his first audition singing opera.

We're also following with amusement John Peter, the "pen salesman." Best we can figure, he's a recently returned Mormon missionary who goes to BYU-Hawaii, and came to his first audition straight from church (when he came out, he was holding his yellow slip in one hand and his scriptures in the other).

Scooter Girl is very funny, but what I've heard of her voice so far is really more Broadway than pop.

The model girl has really egregious too-far-apart fake boobs, is not a great singer and has way too cavalier an attitude to last much longer in the competition.

There are a bunch of really anomalous people, and I'm hoping they show more of them: baby dyke Brianna Garcia, the little girl, red-headed kid crooner. I don't hold out much hope of any of them lasting in the competition, but it's nice to see something different.

On a different reality TV note, did anyone watch Average Joe Monday? I was really feeling Brian Worth, looking straight into her eyes (when he's not squinting in the bright Big Island sun, they're really nice) and baring his soul. The other guys really did feel fake in comparison.

Did anyone catch RW/RR--The Inferno? My tape cut off just as they were going into the Inferno--did they show it? Or just tease for next week? I was pretty impressed with Timmy making it just using his hands. Julie really bugged me, and I'm trying to figure out why. I think it's that, when she was on RW-NO, she was just herself, a nice, happy girl. Now that she's trying to get all into the cutthroat competition, it just doesn't sit right on her. She's trying too hard and comes across as a freak.

But anyway.

AI producers don't know what they're doing. What they need to do is to set those rooms up with hidden mics and cameras. Then, when they lump people with someone who clearly sucked or had a bad attitude or forgot their song, record them as they break off into little clicks and talk about each other behind their back.

I mean, if you were in that girl's room that called Simon gay, wouldn't you be pissed as hell? You would just know you were going home.*

For those of you who missed any or all of the Super Bowl commercials, here is your chance to see them. Super bowl ads, but try to get some work done

One of the best is the donkey Bud ad.

If you're watching the Tonight show, (ugh) this week (we think it's tonight), keep an eye out for a certain attractive young woman who is married to me doing a taped piece in Hollywood with Kevin Smith(ugh redux).

I get to see your wife in HD? That's much better than the low grade video tape we used together.

No. Porn generally has better music than that.

Jacquese is coming off as hilarious in all this as he, who is like 19, finds himself consistently babysitting his older and "more mature" roomies. The whole "Free Brad" campaign was pretty funny.

True. I liked it last night when he was consoling Robin that it was only bad becasue this was her first arrest, and that next time it happens she'll find it funny. Really.

Robin is a giant boob. With giant boobs. I'm wondering why the cute midwestern type is wasting his time with her. Oh, wait. It's the giant boobs, isn't it?

When you were a very young boy, Coltrane, did your mother ever tell you that some thoughts are better left unexpressed?

I think that Coltrane is confusing the absurdity of SD's chocolate submarine for the unfunny subject matter

I knew a guy who was a boxing ref. He loved it.
But I think I'd probably get fired the first time I said "no fucking way" to a call. And I'd probably be a little harsh with the Terrell Owens. He'd never have a reception with me calling the game.
Out of bounds, offensive pass interference, fumble, sharpie on the field.

Outable, but... My grandpa was a high school basketball ref in Bloomington IN (not his day job). He was called up for one game at IU. It totally stressed him out and he went back to high school games. He (not much) later died of a heart attack.

The Inferno was shown.

Ace quit six seconds(!) into the challenge.

The voting before you know the results is a fascinating twist but the show looks like a cross between fear factor and inferno.

What Julie did on the challenge was totally not kosher. Not winning her any friends in a group that already hates her. I bet she is the first girl axed if RW has anything to say about it.

They did show the inferno. It was an hour long for the first episode. If you want to know who lost, PM me or let me know if it's ok to post the spoiler here (I doubt many others watch this stuff, but RW/RR challenges are my secret favorite reality tv)...


Edit - never mind the end of the message, e/o beat me to it.

Amen. The lack of Real World chatter is vraiment etonant. This is a truly ridiculous group of idiots. The late Mary-Ellis Burnam (died last week, RIP) is very proud, I'm sure. That said, I haven't watched last night's show yet so I don't know if Robin's still rotting in jail (I suspect the show's producers bailed her out).

And PP, CBS was rerunning Survivor, but I'm not sure when. It was a very good first episode. Richard Hatch is back, evil as ever. That tribe is going to kick ass, I think, with Richard, Lex and Colby? Holy cow.

American Idol is great, of course. I'm glad they kept the red-headed crooner kid, even with the big choke. If I was one who actually remembered my song, and still got bounced, I'd be all kinds of pissed.

dont watch Real World so I cant help. Lex- I remember Salon had this great line about how he thinks he is the ruler of the world while he is actually a middle management guy or somehting. he was on the colby - tina survivor right? but i thought he placed second. confused

the red haired crooner kid is great especially since he is so yougn. i am a little annoyed they didnt spend more time in the deliberation room. i dont know why the country girl got booted. pretty and great. i guess simon and randy hate country

She's kinda cute in a dumb, tiny JAP sorta way.

Plus the huge cans.
