Reality Overload!

OH GEEZ,

I can't believe all my favorite shows are on.... My blog will totally be about that all but before I do, I must say jefe, you're new name is hysterical. I couldn't stop laughing.... Between you and tiff, you guys both make me laugh!

Ok so the rundown on reality shows

The Bachelorette - (Monday 9pm ABC)

Ok so is it me or is just Jerry the hottest out of everyone on the show... he is definitely top 3... (I want to see if his family is just as hot).... I think Ryan and Perhaps Ben will make final 3..... For some strange reason, I think Ryan might win.. which I'll be happy with b/c he's cute too and seems cool.... funny how they did shirts/skins for the basketball game.. obviously they picked the tanned/buffed ones for skins..... which was definitely a ++

Battle of the Sexes: MTV (ended good!)
- I have to say the biggest letdown in TV history.... This was so awful... I could bet my life the girls had no chance in winning.. c'mon you got Arissa "i can't do anything, and I look like I"m drugged out", Sophia, "I'm so noble but really haven't done anything spectacular" and Coral "I've made it 3 times to the final and lost each time"... I think just Coral alone should have signified a loss (it's almost like she's the michelle kwan of these challenges) and to top it all off... the girls didn't even do the final challenege b/c they couldnt' find a stupid key.... lame.... pls tell me they won't put it on for awhile. I read somewhere Real World is going to be on till at least 2008... someone pls shoot me and tell me why this has been for so long...

American Idol: (Tuesday and Wednesday 8-9 FOX)

I must agree that American Idol is way over the top with these early episodes.. can you just show only obnoxious people... geez louise.... every city has had approx 20-30 people get into the next round yet they show maybe 3-4 ???? but they have like 20-30 awful ones.. why waste your time on ALL of the bad talent... talk about a ratings ploy... I did like last night next-round group they did show, they all seemed like they had potential.. even the bigger girl... =)

Project Runway (Bravo 9pm (rerun at 11pm) on Wednesday)
If none of you have watched it, it was so a must-see show..It's about 12 designers vying for a chnace to start their own clothing line and get mentoring from Banana Republic. Kara Saun, one of the 12, by far should win this competition hands down. If you look at her designs, they are so spectacular, they far outshine the rest of the competition... Otherwise I would have to go with Jay, I dress like Jesus, he's hysterical and has awesome outfits..you must watch this show, they are down to final 5!

Lost and Alias (Wednesday 8 and 9pm , ABC)

I'll put these both together (even though they are not reality shows) these are so well-written, I love it... In lost, it's like reality TV turned real drama series..... I can't wait to find out what' sreally happening on the island... it's like the x-files... it's almost supernatural (anyone know what happened in the end of x-files by the way).... and Matthew Fox is really hot, so I love just watching him..... what's up with the polar bear on an island anyway....
Alias is so cool, I can't believe I haven't watched every episode.. it's like my new buffy... girl chick who kicks ass and has great lines.... and plus her sidekick michael vaughn is so hot... ever since I saw "never been kissed" I've been amazed by him... these 2 shows rocks

Apprentice. (Thursday 9pm NBC)

I must agree Jefe,I love this show as well. I'm surprised at how fast they are turning aroudn these shows.. it's crazy.. I could have sworn last week Kelly from season 2 just got hired.. but I guess the networks are trying to throw in as much reality before it becomes post-peak... I am not sure who I am rooting for... since I consider myself book smart vs street smart... part of me feels I'm obligated to root for someone there... (and plus they dont' make as much so they are the underdog).. oh well. we'll see.... I just hope they pick another look-a-like to bill or kelly.. b/c they are very similar in appearance.. maybe perhaps a woman or a person of color for once?

Amazing Race 7 (tuesday 9pm on CBS)
So sad this past week, they were in Sri Lanka, and most of the places they went to during the race were destoryed by the tsunami.. I still have to donate some money to the relief efforts.. it's so crazy what happened over there.... in any case back to the show.. I"m glad that abusive Jonathan finally got booted. him and victoria are psycho, they both deserve each other..... It's so funny how the 4 couples left are all young couples.... talk about homogeneous... .can I say Kris/Jon to win!!! they are the hottest and they never bicker.... they need to do more swimming competitions so we can see them with less clothes on.. ha! and amazing race 8 is returning again in march, so there will be one right after this!

and FINALLY
Desparate Housewives (Sunday 9pm ABC)
This show is worth watching. I still think this show should have been on HBO/SHOWTIME so it could be more racy/edgy, but it'll do for now... I love watching Teri Hatcher, she's one of my faves.... and can we have more of the hot gardener in more scenes. jesse Metcalf is great and have been watching him ever since he was on PASSIONS.... This show is too good to miss

Ok in any case... that's it for me now.. until later adieu!
