Philly Phil Phil.... decides to write on a Saturday Night...

Anyway I decide to write a little bit about the reality TV that I've seen this week...

American Idol - Now what a great way to make ordinary people look so stupid on national TV... Having it two days in a row made it even more interesting... I definitely can't wait to see what happenes to the um 100+ people that are coming to Hollywood... for those of you who didn't see the show... basically it was the auditions they hosted all over the country (new york, la, austin, atlanta) to name a few... and of course they had to show the best of the best and the worst of the worst...I think the best ones were when the judges gave insults to the audtioner and the auditioner said thank you (thinking it was a compliment) and the judges are like "it's not a compliment..." I remember when Simon said "that was remarkable" and the guy replied thank you and he said "no that's not a compliment, that was remarkably dreadful".... Anyway ... until next week ( I believe it's on next Tuesday.... Also one thing I noticed was that Paula has finally stopped being such a goodie goodie and being "too nice" to the competitiors... I think the producers have told her to be meaner (or maybe she just realized that some ppl really don't have talent when it comes to singing).. who knows..By the way anyone noticed that one filipino guy that was from innerlude who made it to hollywood (james from san jose was his name)...

Bachelorette - Now this I didn't get to see very much first and foremost b/c American Idol was on at the same time.. However the parts I did get to see was that Trista had 3 of her gf's (which included Shannon from the first bachelor) come and help her decide which guys she wants.... Now basically each guy (which was now down to 8) were interviewed by the girls from questions like are you the giver or reciever? Anyway... the girls picked the guy they thought was the ultimate match.. and they chose... Russ (mr san rafael) a.k.a mr "let me give you a tiffany box the first episode,"... so they go on this date together and they spend a nice dinner as well as go in a plane (or was it a helicopter) and spend the day together... now they also picked two more dates for her to go on... one was with Charlie and the other was with Ryan( the josh-harnett look-alike)... Anyway I miss the rest except for the elimination... she has 4 roses to give and 4 men to eliminate.. she picks in order, Charlie (who seems to be the front-runner, remember she told him the second episode not to worry b/c she's giving him a rose, Russ, Ryan, and Greg (the latino-indian) guy... she had also mentioned that there were 5 guys she wanted and was torn between the last spot... unforutnately mr. bob was her 5th choice and right after he kissed her good-bye she tells him ... "if I had 5 roses, you would be my 5th choice)... I guess if that's any consolation he should sorta feel good about it... however I think she's retarded for even telling him... but anyway.. now it's down to 4.. and she will cut one next Wednesday at 9pm

Celeberity Mole - Now this game is getting interesting...There were 5 left , Frederique (a model), Erik (the guy from the princess diaries and dinotopia), corbin bernsen (from L.a Law), Kathy Griffin (from Suddently Susen) and Michael Boaltman from Spin City... basically they had to do some type of building a boat so that they could all sail out and get some money (30,000) that was floating on a buoy... anyway.Erik was offered an exemption if he could get to the money before the rest of the team (b/c he actually was previously chosen to sit out of this game)...and the team would not earn ANY money anyway long story short he beat them to it.. and was given an exemtpion but then reneged on it when he was offered to take away his exemption to add double the money, the team missed out to the pot.so suspicions arose when Erik decided not to take a n exemption which anyone would clearly have taken it over any amount of money offered... (esp since these are celeberities and not ordinatry folk).. the Suspicions also arose when Corbin who is a builder could not even build the raft properly (and he was the leader of the pack)... anyway the other activity was having them have to eat hot peppers... Anyway each of them had to answer a ? and whoever could not answer had to eat a pepper.. if they answered correctly they would have the option of having someone else eat the pepper for them... Anyway everyone basiclaly had to eat the pepper except Kathy and Frederique who gave both of their peppers to Corbin who seems to enjoy eating it... Anyway the team was offered more money if they would all eat one pepper from the basket.. fredereique staunchly refused raising suspicions to whether or not she could be the mole... anyway the execution happens... and basically Corbin is next one voted out... My suspicions: a girl: more specifically Fredereique.. she is too quiet.. and she can't speak english well which would make it even a better cover for her to be the mole.....anyway tune it after the bachelorette to watch it..

Ok my hands hurt from typing.. must say though that I'm happy to see that John and Matt got chosen to be the winner of tough enough III.. now I missed watching the actual episode and I had to go online to find it.. Anyway.. just had to share....

Last minute thoughts - Super Bowl is tomorrow.. I"m more excited for the commericials than the game... I'm not sure who I want to win b/c either way my neighborhood will probably be rioting..j ust for different reasons depending on the outcome.... bacarrat .. I want to play that game... can't wait till I go to vegas in feb... Um.. I think that's about it.. i"ll post again... soon!
