WHO DO YOU LOVE? 02.09.10



The Bachelor: Sucks to be Ali! Now that she’s out of the picture which of the three remaining girls would you like to see Jake make his wifey?

WHO DAT




Super Bowl: I could spew out a laundry list of teams that I despise in the NFL but there is really only one team that I have always liked and that’s the New Orleans Saints. Don’t get me wrong I would never say that the Saints are “my team.” I just don’t really care about sports enough to have a team that I claim as my own. Nevertheless I cheered my heart out for the Saints on Sunday and I was very happy to see them take their first, well-deserved Lombardi home to the city of New Orleans.

With that said, the one thing I definitely look forward to every Super Bowl Sunday is the commercials. And the following was hands down my favorite. Why, you might ask? Let’s just say they had me at “I’ll watch your vampire TV shows with you.”

ADIOS




*Possible Spoilers*

Ugly Betty: A good friend of mine surprised me with a gift at our Holiday Cocktail party last year. I squealed with excitement when I started opening the present and spotted a Guadalajara poncho under the snowflake covered wrapping paper. It was a Madame Alexander “Ugly Betty” doll. Unbeknownst to the gift giver I had received my very first Madame Alexander doll when I was only three years old and it is one of my most prized possessions to this day. My favorite part of receiving my “Ugly Betty” doll is that my friend instantly thought of me when she saw it. Because I too have a penchant for wearing loud ponchos…not!

I have to admit I’ve only written sporadically about the Suarez family over the past year or so, ‘cause let’s face it, the show hasn’t been quite the same since the first season. When I started watching the new season in the “Friday Night Death Slot” I sent one of my sisters a text telling her that I felt like I had just watched the last episode of “Ugly Betty.” It seemed as though everything was finally coming together for Betty Suarez. She was starting a new job as a Features Editor at the magazine. Hilda had finally convinced her to start sporting a new ‘do and to pluck the hell out of her eyebrows. She was also trying her damndest to finally utilize some of that Mode fashion advice she’d been gathering over the past 4 years. It was a new Betty, a more seasoned, more professional with-it Betty. I just kept thinking this has to be the perfect place for her story end. And I guess I was right because it looks like the show is getting canceled. Fortunately there is some good news; it appears as though the network will be giving the writers ample time to wrap up storylines and put together somewhat of a finale in May. Adios Betty, it was fun while it lasted.


The Bachelor: Am I crazy? I really don’t think that Vienna is that bad. She’s a little bragger but other than that what harm has the girl really done?


Real Housewives of OC:
Is Lynne’s face still supposed to look like that? I’m guessing not since she is clearly still on her pain meds.


Lost:
Did anyone happen to catch the new footage of the final season of “Lost” after last night’s episode of “Brothers & Sisters?” I’m trying to track it down so I can post it as soon as possible. If anyone finds it before me please post a link in the comments section below.

Meanwhile, here is a little food for thought while we wait for the big night. Is it all just a game?

ANSWER ME




The end is nigh my friends and I have to admit that I’m all a giddy with excitement. This has got to be the first time in my TV viewing history that I have EVER looked forward to seeing a show that I love come to an end. In order to prepare for the Season 6 premiere of “Lost” I thought it only appropriate to discuss some of the questions I would like answered before the big finale. Please feel free to add your questions to the comments section below or even your theories on possible answers to these questions.

I’ll start off with the question I have had since the first episode. What exactly is the Smoke Monster? We have been told that it is the security system for the island. But how does it operate and why does it have a different reaction to individuals (i.e. sparing Locke’s life and killing Mr. Eko)?

What is the significance of the infamous numbers 4, 8, 15, 16, 23 and 42?

How is baby Aaron tied to the island and is it a good or evil link?

What about Walt? There is too much mystery around this boy and his abilities for there not to be any further explanation. Yet so far there has been no indication that he is scheduled to appear in the last season.

Why was Hurley in the mental hospital the first time around? And what was Libby doing there as well?

What is the deal with Richard? Why hasn’t he aged over the past several decades and how did he get to the island…via Blackrock? More importantly, how can a girl get lashes like his, so thick and lush, I’d never have to wear eyeliner or mascara again.

What happened to Claire? If she is not dead, as the producers claim, then where in the hell is she and why is she walking around the island with her supposedly dead father?

Which leads us to the next question, is Christian dead?

Why can’t the women on the island stay pregnant and why does it always result in death?

What’s up with all the damn whispering on the island?

What happened to the statue? At the end of last season Ben told Sun that all that remained of the statue was a foot by the time he had arrived at the island in 1973.

Who has taken possession of Locke’s body? Presumably it is the man on the island that was seen conversating with Jacob at the beginning of the last episode “The Incident.”

Who made up all of “the rules” and why do they exist?
  • Only the leader can request an audience with Jacob.
  • There can be only one leader on the island at a time.
  • Widmore apparently changed “the rules” when he killed Ben’s daughter.
  • Widmore’s leaving the island on a regular basis and having a child with an outsider was also deemed against “the rules.”
  • According to Faraday “the rules” did not apply to Desmond.
  • Whoever is in control of Locke’s body found a loophole to “the rules” when he had Ben kill Jacob.
Why did Jacob visit the Oceanic 6 off of the island? And did he visit any of the other survivors?

Last but not least, will time be reset by setting off the nuke, if so by how far? Or is everyone pretty much doomed?

PUMP YOUR FIST





Jersey Shore: The following is a sampling of some of the lingo I have picked up from watching this past season of the “Jersey Shore”

Grenade – An unattractive female, usually comes in the form of a player hater

Knock a bitch up – Not to be mistaken for “knock a bitch out” which essentially means the exact same thing

Trash bag – A trashy female, one that is spoken for yet sleeps with men other than her boyfriend (aka J-WOWW)

Creep – A single man that goes to the club with other single men with the intent of finding a female to bring back to your home and “choke”

Choke – To have sexual intercourse with someone (i.e. Ronnie choked Sammi)

Robbery – When you make-out with a female your friend intends to take home and “choke” after a night of “creeping”

Stalked my whole life – Stalking someone for an entire evening

Battle – A form of dancing, not to be mistaken for bumping and grinding

Battlefield – A dance floor on which you “battle”

Fist Pumping – Yet another form of dancing, this being a more specific dance move in which you close your fist and repeatedly punch the air
