Reality Television -  ‘So You think You Can Dance’ ended & I am bummed.  I really wanted Travis to win it.  I like Benji & all but there is just something about Travis.  Oh well.  Last Comic Standing’ ended too & that one had a winner I was rooting for. Will’s friend Theo won the online competition.  If he wins a chat we have to tell him.  Real World’ also came to an end.  Dang that Paula had me in tears.  Such a sad story.  They got her in a better place but when she goes home she falls right back into bad habits.  I hope someone can help her.  But then again, no one can help her unless she wants to help herself.

 

They announced the new cast of ‘Survivor’ that begins on September 14th. This season is “Race Wars”. They are divided into 4 tribes: Asian, Black, Hispanic & White. It is already causing a stir. There will still be an Exile Island. ‘Dancing with the Stars’ is back September 12th, the same night as the BB finale. Shanna Moakler is one of the new celebs & she is going through a mad breakup w/ Travis Barker. ; ‘The Amazing Race' is back on September 17th. It moves to Sunday nights & that’s why BB has been on in that slot all summer. ‘Wife Swap’ begins September 18. ‘America’s Next Top Model’ & ‘The Biggest Loser’ starts on September 20th. If you want to be a volunteer writer & cover any of these shows for MediaFiends, email me. Do you want to talk about any of the reality shows? Then check out my forum.

Fresh Meat - 7/24:  Everyone hangs out at a bar & Evan gets up on stage & wins a blowing up a balloon competition.  Wes thinks Katie & Eric will help him & Casey stay out of Exile so he tells them what the race is to help them beat Tina & Kenny.  Tina is pissed off about it.  Suck it up honey.  If you weren’t such a snatch maybe someone would want to help you. The challenge was called “Human Ox Pull”.  That pretty much explains it.  They divide into 2 teams & pull sleds of hay 100 meters.  It weighs 850 pounds.  Shane & Linette were the first captains & they chose Coral & Evan.  Theo & Chanda were the other captains & chose Darrell & Aviv.  S&L’s other teammates were Katie, Eric, Derrick & Diem.  So T&C had Tina, Kenny, Wes & Casey.  Summary continued here

Laguna Beach - 8/16:  The show is back & with a whole new cast.  You still have the 2 sides of bitchy girls.  That ugly fat girl Cami that Jason brought to the prom or whatever seems to be one of the worst.  She reminds me of those obnoxious spoiled girls on ‘My Sweet 16’.  Really ugly, bad personality, but they are rich so it makes them popular.  Summary continued here

Project Runway 7/26: Kayne was excited that he had Immunity but said it wouldn’t change the quality of what he puts out this week. Heidi teased them by saying the design would have something to do with the “Hottest Accessory” right now.  Everyone meets up with Tim Gunn in Central Park. He has a bunch of small dogs on leashes, the hot accessory. They will each have to pick a dog & then design an outfit that would fit that dog’s owner & then something that matched for the dog. Everyone seemed to pick a dog that matched them & Bradly got a poodle he didn’t want so Alison switched with him. They have $150, 30 minutes to sketch & 2 days to complete it.

Rock Star Supernova - 7/25:  Supernova went to the mansion & played some of their tracks for the finalists.  I was actually surprised how lame they were.  I couldn’t believe these were tracks that Tommy Lee has drummed on.  I thought they were slow & boring.  I have read that Jenny Galt has said in an interview that none of them liked the first single Supernova had planned & they were all questioning what kind of commitment they had to this band.  Summary continued here  Get Tickets to the Supernova Live Tour
