Reality Television -  I don’t usually recap ‘Fear Factor’ but I had to mention they had a reality TV edition. Ryan from ‘The Bachelor’, Ethan & Jenna M from ‘Survivor’, Reichen from Chip & Reichen on ‘The Amazing Race’, Nikki McKibbon from ‘American Idol’ & the infamous Omarosa from ‘The Apprentice’ competed. Good guy Ryan won. Omarosa used her nastiness on the little Nicki, who we learned has a famous sister. Toni the eye bulge big chick from ‘Love Cruise’ & ‘Paradise Hotel’. OOH & on that note I just read that FOX is considering bringing Paradise Hotel back this summer & they will even use the same cast. That show is my guilty pleasure. It is just so sleazy it is oh so good. Then I read it wasn’t coming back. Oh well. I still got my fave, ‘Big Brother’, returning this summer & it isn’t an All-Star edition so I don’t have to be annoyed by some of the has beens coming back. Here are some dates of upcoming shows. March 28 – The Bachelor with Jerry O’Connell’s brother Charlie. March 30 – Showbiz Moms & Dogs. April 6 – Meet the Barkers. April 11 – Popularity Contest. I am always looking for writers for my site. If you are interested in covering any of the reality shows you can email me.

American Idol -  2/21: The real competition begins & the guys are up first. No theme tonight. First up was Nikko Smith. He sang ‘Part-Time Lover’. Randy said he made Stevie proud. Paula said he came out strong. Simon said he was ok but viewers will forget about him. He said he was a background singer. Scott Savol was next w/ ‘You Are My Lady’. Randy said it wasn’t his best cuz it didn’t show off his range. Paula said it was an interesting song choice & he doesn’t sound like she would expect him to. Simon said he doesn’t look like an American Idol. He sounds good but not fantastic & should choose a better song than that. Anthony Fedorov sang ‘Hold on to the Nights’. Randy said it was good but boring & safe. Paula said it was safe. Simon said he is dull as dishwater & predictable. He said it left him completely cold & wasn’t a star performance. Bo Bice did ‘Drift Away’. I thought it was one of the best of the night. Randy said he loved it & it rocked. He said it was hot. Paula said he was on pitch & compared it to putting on a perfect pair of jeans. Simon said he did absolutely everything right.  Summary continued here

America's Next Top Model - 3/2: There were a couple girls returning like Tiffany from last season who got into that fight in the club & threw a glass. She has gone through anger management & isn’t as angry now. She took to mentoring a new girl that referred to herself as “Lady Cat” or something like that & she would act like a cat. That girl had an attitude & Tiffany tried to encourage her to simmer down. There are a bunch of Moms too. It started with 35 semi-finalists that had to be cut to 20. Then they were cut to 14. They had the usual night at the hotel pool where the girls play Truth or Dare. Each girl had to meet w/ Tyra & her Jays to be judged. They also had to do a catwalk in lingerie. The girls this season are the ugliest I think they’ve had. I know that is a cruel thing to say, but come on. Some of these girls are fugly. Tyra has said she wants to find someone this season that is different & not a typical beauty. I think they’ve found that in Michelle. Summary continued here

The Apprentice - 2/24: Stephanie gets back to the apartment & tells her team that she won’t hold anything they said in the boardroom against them. They all have a bonding moment. The task this week is to create a graffiti ad for Playstation 2’s new game ‘Gran Turismo 4’. Tara was PM for Net Worth. Her team talked to the execs at PS2 & they told her that their target demographic was males 18-34. Alex was PM for Magna. The 2 teams worked completely different. Magna split up & did different tasks while Net Worth did everything together. Well they were together but they had no say in the project. Tara knew what she wanted & that was that. Her theme was old versus new. Summary continued here

The Ashlee Simpson Show - 2/23: Ashlee made her Grammy picks by selecting people she liked & not by knowing their music. She is filming a movie called “Wannabe” & there is a lot of downtime in her trailer. She wanted Ryan to spend every second w/ her so she wouldn’t be bored. Nevermind that he has his own career. She performed on AOL Music Live & then had to do a day of phone interviews. She got mad at Ryan cuz he didn’t have time to call her & if he did, he put her on hold. She is really coming off like a spoiled brat. She didn’t get a Grammy nomination so her friend presented her w/ a tinfoil award she named after herself, The Steffy. Taco Bell sent her a Nacho Day award cuz her “chips were down” & they gave her $10 to spend there. She went to the Billboard Awards & won best new female artist.   Summary continued here

He said he knew he had a chance of getting in a hot tub with her so he cut out carbs & worked out a lot. While he was standing there he got lightheaded. Next up was Stu the Stalker. He thought they were compatible & that he could potentially be engaged in a short time & that is why he wanted to know everything about her. He knows he has been made fun of a lot & said even Kelly Ripa, Howard Stern & the women on ‘The View’ have talked about him. He made a joke of looking at the camera & telling Kelly he loves her.

They showed a clip of Mia making fun of Harvey & calling him a trout. Boy does this girl like to last out at people doesn’t she? Ralphie recently got engaged.   Summary continued here

The Inferno 2 - 3/7: I know people were able to vote online before this season to put the players in their categories but come on! Mormon Julie as a Good Guy? No way. I know they had to separate her from the evil witches Veronica & Rachel but still. Here are the teams:

Good – Brad, Darrell, Jamie, Jodi, Jon, Julie, Landon, Miz, Robin & Shavonda.

Bad – Abe, Beth, CT, Dan, Derrick, Karamo, Rachel, Tina, Tonya, & Troll, I mean Veronica. Their first challenge was a Navy SEAL exercise & they had to work in teams of 2. Both teams had one team of their strongest guys & that was the right idea since those were the last 2 left. Miz & Landon, Derrick & Abe. But the Bad Asses took it & won $10,000 for their bank. Both teams pick one player from the other team to go to The Inferno. Bad went for the toughest guy & chose MIZ. Good went w/ the other tactic & take out someone weak & went for DAN. Every other week we don’t get to see someone booted so we have to wait till next week to see who goes. But it is obvious by the clips of the season that Mike is still there.  Summary continued here

The house they rented by looking online wasn’t what they thought. They wanted 7 bedrooms & this had 6. But there actually was another bedroom but it was full of junk & the bathroom was nasty. Their hot tub didn’t work either. Jess played Scattegories w/ her friends & she teamed up w/ her hairdresser.

Project Greenlight - 3/15: The show is back & has moved to BRAVO. Their other 2 movies haven’t done well so this time the studio wants one that is more commercial. They are still working w/ the Weinsteins but this time it is Dimension. Chris Moore is back to Executive Produce. They ended up picking a movie called ‘The Feast’. It is a horror movie along the lines of ‘Scream’ where it has comedy as well as scaring you. Matt & Ben did not want this movie. They both liked different ones more but the studio put their foot down. So the director that was chosen is this very weird guy, John Gullager. I tend to think that Matt & Ben are trying to sabotage it by picking this guy. His stuff is interesting but he is such an introvert that I don’t think he is capable of a studio flick.

3/22: The director becomes more & more problematic. He comes from an acting family & he doesn’t even want to read any other actors & only use his family. He keeps saying that he knows they are the best actors on the planet & no one knows. Sorry. They’re not. I am not saying that they aren’t good actors, just not the best. If this dork was smart, he would make the dumb studio flick as the suits dictate & then he will have a big movie under his belt as well as some money & then he can make whatever weird movie he wants starring only his family. The other problem is that this movie requires a lot of money to make it right. The studio only wants to give them a little over a million. I think that is bullshit. THEY chose this movie so you need to put up the money to make it decent. I don’t want to hear any shit when the movie isn’t successful & blaming it anywhere but at the budget. The writers chosen are the opposite of the director, & the 2 directors last season. They are embracing the Hollywood machine & are out getting lawyers & agents & so on. The next episode shows Chris Moore tired of the director & saying he is fired.

Road to Stardom with Missy Elliot - 2/23: They meet up w/ Missy’s young protégé who is 12. They are divided into 2 teams, Deltrice & Matthew and Jessica & Nilyne & are brought in one team at a time & they have 20 minutes to come up w/ the concept for Brianna’s video. Matthew knew right away what he wanted to do. His concept was for her to go to a party & everything is in black & white but she is in color. & then whomever she touches would change into color. I thought that could be a cool video. Nilyne & Jessica just fought the whole time. Nilyne concentrated more on choreographing it. They had nothing & said her video would be her going to a beach party. Each choice, Deltrice & Matthew won & got a sap treatment for their reward. Jessica & Nilyne continued arguing & eventually stopped talking to each other. They went to the studio to work on their track w/ Dallas. Jessica & Nilyne were put into a room together & they finally talked & made nice. The performance challenge would be to perform their track for important people. They didn’t know who they would be. It turned out to be their close friends & family. Deltrice & Nilyne caught the spotlight. Missy asked Nilyne about her fight w/ Jessica & Deltrice what went wrong.. Deltrice said she was overwhelmed by her parents being there. Then Missy had them look at each other & tell why they deserve to be there over the other. Nilyne said Deltrice can only sing & dance well where as she is a triple threat. Deltrice said Nilyne acts confidant but is unsure & she is sure. Missy cut NILYNE cuz she is unpredictable. She has charisma & stage presence but she also has a temper problem & she changed her track & is too much of a risk.

 

3/2: The final 3 had to plead their cases to the judges & were told to do or say anything they could to prove they should win. Then they got a makeover before heading to the live show. All the eliminated kids got to perform. I noticed that Nilyne danced in the front the whole time. I do think she was the best dancer. Matthew & Jessica both got small solos but I didn’t notice Deltrice getting one. They claimed that only 2 of them would get to perform & it was up to Missy. She had Matthew sing first. I was happy cuz I was rooting for him to win. But then after his song she said she was feeling generous & had both girls do their tracks. I still liked Matthew’s the best & Deltrice the least out of the Final 3. I used to root for Jessica to win this but then as the show went on I felt the show was spotlighting her too much & pushing her to win & Matthew was the underdog so I backed him. But my suspicions were correct & JESSICA got the final spotlight & this time it was a good thing & she won. I haven’t heard anything about this show returning.

The girl who wins at the end gets a deal w/ The WB, 3 Arts Entertainment & a role on ‘One Tree Hill’. The judges are Vivica Fox, Faye Dunaway & casting agent Joseph Middleton [he was on ‘Project Greenlight’]. The girls get to stay in a house once owned by Marilyn Monroe.

Their first assignment was to do 2 lines from Whitney Houston’s role in ‘The Bodyguard’. They had 15 minutes to rehearse. One girl, Andria, that was all looks & no talent ad libbed some lines like calling the guy a funny little man. The judges didn’t like that at all. The judges really liked Donna & Mercedes. Vivica hated Lauren’s blue eye shadow. Their Top 3 were Mercedes, Donna & Michelelynne.  Summary continued here

Survivor Palau - 2/24: Koror is miserable at their new camp. They have rats & it is raining. Or maybe I should just say Caryn is miserable cuz she is the one complaining constantly about it. The Reward Challenge had them crossing a balance obstacle course. They had to retrieve 10 flags & the first team to do it would get fishing gear. Willard sat out for Koror. Ulong easily beat them. Angie really kicked ass on this challenge & showed a little of it [as well as some “t”]. Koror looked for their lost reward box from the last Immunity. They found it & were able to pull it up & get their flint. Ulong had some fish but Angie won’t eat. That worried her tribe. The tree mail for Immunity told them to learn morse code. The actual challenge had them swim to a platform & then go down 10 feet to a rope to pull a foot locker 50 feet. Summary continued here

Wickedly Perfect - 2/19: Someone had to go to Artisan to even it out so the one w/ the best box had to go. That was Mitch. He doesn’t think that is a prize. He thinks the girls are copiers & not creators. This week’s task was to create an estate sale by purchasing & refurbishing 4 pieces. One must be decoupage. They have to register their 4 items right after they buy them. They have $1000 budget & can use any leftover to buy extra things for their sale. Their individual project was to create an item from scratch to show their talents. They have 30 hours to get it done.  Summary continued here

Wife Swap - 2/23: This was an interracial episode. A white woman married to a black man switched w/ a black woman married to a white man. Both black people were very similar in that they both expected their spouse to wait on them. I am just going to quickly recap this one as I am writing this a week later & can’t remember all the details. Doreen [black woman] is a total bitch & doesn’t even like her 2 sons. She thinks black men don’t treat women right so married a white guy. Nevermind that she is raising 2 BLACK MEN!   Summary continued here
