Philly Phil Phil decides to post a blog...

Sorry everyone that I haven't posted in awhile.. I've been so busy at work... it's ridiculous... I just started training a new person (technically he's my mentee).. in our department.. so I always have to make sure he's busy and doing work.. and what's even more stressful is that he's a perfectionist and overachiever so he doesn't stop asking me questions (some which are really irrelevant).. but nonetheless.. that's taken a lot of time, not to mention that I have new brands that I'm the analyst for... so now I have to build new relationship with two buyers who don't understand how the "analyst" systems work...but anyway at least they think better my old buyers... not to mention that the other guy in our dept is practically getting fired! talk about drama... anyway I know some of this doesn't make sense so I'll stick to talking about reality TV

REAL WORLD/ROAD RULES: Yes as Tiffany already mentioned.. it was pretty interesting to see that last "hold your breath" challenge.. once again the boys rocked the girls..... led by james several of the boys beat the top girl (the powerhouse ruthie) by practically half a minute)....so after the challenge the debate was on who would get kicked off...for the men of course it has always been the lowest score.. so mr.. shoobie doobie wadeee.. "come on be my baby tonight" david b got the boot... to much of Ayanna's dismay b/c they were starting to have a "connection".. I think they were just depressed b/c they didn't get bootie before the other left... anyway... for the girls it was still a toss-up (have they yet not figured out the strategy of just maybe the lowest score gets out)... so this time in the inner circle it was Ruthie, Ellen, and Veronica... so the debate was between Jisela (who WAS the lowest score) and Amaya (b/c she mentioned to Ruthie that she might want to leave b/c her friend is going to die).. in the end again they chose Jisela... who graciously took the boot... as far as the ion life saver (which I do wonder tiff if they will ever use it)... James gave it to cross-gender to his gf Emily... but yeah... the best part though was the end... Ellen and Puck have not gotten along ever since Ellen basically started drama with him two episode back by knocking him down on his views and his behaviors.. anwyay they started arguing and he basically said "get ouf of here or I'm gonna kiss your ass".. so Ellen runs off and goes back to the girls room and is crying her eyes out and is like "Puck said he's going to kiss my ass" and feels that her life is now "threatened" b/c no guy should ever tell a girl that... but the question is Ellen really a girl???? heheehehe tune in next week for Puck and Bettie (his wife) quasi-marriage on the island...

Joe Millionaire..- So yeah ms . mojo is gone.. how sad... I don't know if she really was the gold digger that everyone thought she was ...to me it seems like sarah and melissa m are both gold diggers themselves.. the only one that seems to have her head on straight seems to be Zora... anyway... I think that's why she's not that interesting and they never focus on her b/c she's actually NORMAL... the sin of all reality tv.. god forbid having someone who's average on a show... but then again who wants to watch zora just sitting in her room all by herself doing nothing when you can see melissa and sarah smoking away talking sh*t about mojo.etc..also anyone catch that forest scene between joe and sarah.. talk about some soft-core on network tv... I thought that was so classic "mmmm.. slurp... oh yeah..."
now it's down to sarah, melissa m and zora.. I think it's going to go down to sarah and zora... and then it's a toss up... until next week

Real World - Now for some reason this show is really getting tired and dragged out.. sometimes I honestly think that this show should be shorter but then again it depends on the people.. this epidsode again focus on Irulan and Elton and how Irulan heard that Elton had a 3 way with some girls on the island they had just came back from.. she was mad b/c he wasn't being "honest" with her and doesnt' know how to "treat women".. in his defense he's annoyed b/c she has a bf back home but is sharing a bed with him everyday in vegas... so what kind of morals does she have.. anyway.. they have this like all out playfighting... but it was more than just playing..t hey were literally hitting and throwing stuff at each other... and at one point Irulan breaks a pool stick... so I dont' know how about you... but that's seems like a straight domestic violence.. it was so loud that brynne wakes up and scolds them for being so rude and disrespectful... anyway.... elton tries to go to bed again with Irulan but she doesn't want anything of it... (right before the whole fight scene, she called gabe her bf back home and he was furious and wanted nothing to do with the situation)..Irulan knows she f*cked up by breaking the one rule Gabe asked her not to do: which was mess with a roommate... anyway stay tuned for next week...

American Idol: Now this show just keep getting me more excited for the finals... it began with those who made it to hollywood... they basically had one audition and they cut the field down to about 80... then they had people pair up in threes and prepare a group rendition of a pre-assigned song... so everyone went back to their hotels to practice (or at least most of them).. now three guys, this vanilla ice wanna be, sisko look-a-like and a justin guarini look a like all decide to take a night on the town instead of practicing for the next day.... they even use their american idol "flyers" to get into clubs where they end up doing some crazy stuff with some hoochie ass girls like likcing their stomach and making out with them... anyway back at the hotel there was drama between the 4 girl group b/c one girl was being stood up by the other 3.. anyway the next day the 3 girls go practice while the one girl that was stoood up decides to give them a taste of their own medicine and stands them up... anwyay conflict happens.. and the girl's sister come and straight scolds the 3 for treating her sister like that.. anyway... it finally get resolved late when the girl's hotel roommate steps in...
anyway the next day.. the groups perform in front of the judges... now only the first group in both the males and females coincidentally do well. everyone else..blah... everyone forget their lyrics start singing thier own or just stop alltogether in humiliation.. anyway... the judges are disgusted and have no idea how they are going to cut people when practically everyone was awful.. anyway the judges decide to cut about 30-40 people.... by having the males and females stand in several lines and the judges either approve and cut the "entire" line... anyway.. so they go down to 48 people.. and now each of the last 48 are given a chance to show the judges one last impression before the final cut to top 32 is made... anyway... that happens and then the judges split the 48 people into 3 groups of 16 into 3 rooms... in 2 of the rooms, they move on, in 1 they're ALL gone... sucks to be them.. anyway...you see who gets kicked off and who gets in... what's funny is that the two asians that are in the top 48 (both males, one from honolul and one from the group innerlude from the bay area) are never shown... the honolulu guy makes it to the top 32.. but the innerlude guy gets cut and he starts balling and guess what the camera catches that... I guess he was too boring in the rest of the segment to not be focus on... anyway.. I just thought that was hilarious

bachelorette- now how in the world am I ever going to watch this show with American Idol on at the same time.. anyway I tried taping part of it.. but anyway I got to see parts of it.. apparently this episode is when each of the last 4 guys (russ, greg, ryan, and charlie) bring trista to their parents.. apparently from what I hear Trista to be very concerned with how the place looked... I still don't like her fully but i guess you can't like everybody... Anyway... all I know is that at the end she chooses Ryan, charlie, and Russ as the final 3.... so yeah... did I mention that my mentee told me who wins b/c apparently his doctor is the father of the winner.... how annoying is that.. and I did hear the Trista is pregnant? any confirmation on that... also for any of you who listen to the radio in the morning.. alice 97.3 always talk about reality tv (particually american idol and the bachelorette) from 7:30-8:30 a.m.. they even had Russ on their morning show twice since he's from san rafael..

THE MOLE: Anyway.. now it's down to 4 people.. kathy, michael, frederique and eric.. all 4 of them were involved in a challenge to win an exemption basically they were all blindfolded and taken to a secret location where they had to team up in teams of 2.. (frederique and michael) and kathy and eric to figure out math puzzles.. anyway kathy and eric finishes in 2 min and frederique and michael take 9 min... so kathy and eric go to the next rnd to bid for elimination... this time its multiple choice and who ever finishes first wins.. basically eric wins by 3 sec over kathy and he's given the chance to win exemption.. so the other 3 get put blindfolds on and are taken to a secret location while Eric is given some instructions... basically the object is eric is going to play memory with a bunch of cards and the other 3 are going to be let go somewhere off from wher ethey were and are supposed to try to find him.. the catch is they have no idea which way they have to go back just know that's it by the water "since they heard water" when they were blindfolded and could see out the window that they were near the water... anyway... while michael and freder are trying to rush to find Eric.. kathy takes her sweet ass time and decides to hitch a ride with some crazy hillbillies who she called "retarded" anyway... none of them can make it before Eric finishes in which he gets an exemption... anyway.. Eric and Kathy "supposedly" have an alliance and are trying to get "frederique out" assuming that Michael is the mole... anyway... execution happens.. and mr. michael gets axed... so the question is: Is Eric and Kathy really in an alliance? and if so, did they really think it was Michael? Kathy is really lazy.. and doesn't do much? is she really the best mole ever???? is it frederique.. she seems to play dumb and she doesn't speak much.. could it be a cover up for the mole.. or is mr good looking eric the mole and is just trying to confused everyone... stay tuned next week to find out the winner of the mole (or they might show it the following week)...

Anyway... that' enough reality TV for me.. for those of you who are interseted.. my v-ball league is starting again on Feb 18... and guess who's the captain.... MOI.... YES I have become captain of my v-ball team... heheheheh.. anyway... I'll let you guys know how that goes weekly as well.. Ok off I go.. I'm setting up my new computer... yay no more old stupid can't handle any higher than aol 6.0.comp...

Talk to you all later!
