Misc TV thoughts

 UPDATED......9/14/12

Wow.....it's been almost 2 months since I wrote on here.  I need to get better about this. lol

Love in the Wild:
Was very glad that Ken and Yanina won.  They deserved it and seemed like a sweet couple.

The Bachelorette:
Very glad that it was Jef in the end.  He seems like such a sweetie.  I hope they will work out.  Time will tell.

Bachelor Pad:
Tough season as I really didn't like any of the people on it.  

Whatever little bit of Chris that I liked, was changed after this show.  

And the finale.......Nick.......I have no nice words to say, so I will not comment.   While I understand what he did, I still think it was wrong.  Money goes to people's heads.  So sad.

Big Brother:
I liked most of the cast this season, but I think my faves are: Shane, Danielle, Dan, and Frank.

However, Dan has disappointed me. I liked him in the beginning and I know that he's playing a great *game*....just don't like what he's doing to people in the process.  Oh well, like I said......it's a game.  

I hope Danielle can win.

So You Think You Can Dance:

Well, ended up that I did have 2 faves.......Audrey and Matthew.  Was NOT happy when Matthew was sent home and then the next week, Audrey went home.  *sigh*

I am really cheering for Eliana to win and Cyrus too.







UPDATED.........7/19/12

So I decided to just update this post, so I don't have so many posts with the same subject lines....It'll just be a really long post. hahaha

Wow......I was reading through some of my comments on here and time really changes things.

Love in the Wild
Okay, so I had put that my fave was Jesse...........boy was I wrong about that.  He showed his true colors and even though he may look good, he's a jerk.  None of the girls wanted him and he was sent home.

Also, I put that Ali was my fave girl.......nope, she ended up going guy to guy and then ended up alone and went home.

Don't really have a fave.....but hope that Ken and Yanina win.  They're a cute and sweet couple.

I liked Ben, til he dumped Jenny for *Jugs*. And don't like Ben any longer.

Was glad to see that Chase & Summer were still dating.  This show has better results than the Bachelor/Bachelorette. :)


The Bachelorette
Liked the final 3 choices, but of those my faves would be Sean and Jef.  Arie, still like him, but he's not my fave. 

Sadly, she sent Sean home..............(*psst hey Sean............I'm still single.  *hint, hint*)

 I really hope that she picks Jef.....as he seems like a great guy.  But we shall see.


So You Think You Can Dance
Well, still don't have a favorite.  I like too many of them to decide, but I guess if I had to pick, I would say that Audrey is my fave girl.  She's just so cute and she's a beautiful dancer.

Of the guys........not sure.  I like alot of them and can't remember their names right now.

Was sad to see Daniel go this week.  I liked him. :(






So since I was away during part of this, I will finish off with my thoughts of my shows that just ended and then pick up with the current ones.

Dancing With The Stars:
Was VERY happy with the outcome. Didn't care if Donald won or Katherine as long as it wasn't William.  Woohoo......goodbye William.

America's Next Top Model:
Over the moon excited that my fave Brit won the whole thing.  Way to go Sophie!!!  So happy for her!!!

American Idol:
Pleased with the outcome of this one too.  Phillip Phillips is good.  However, will I buy his music.......probably not.......but wish him all the best anyway. :)


Current shows:

So You Think You Can Dance:
Hmmmm looks like alot of really good dancers again this year.  Don't have a fave as of yet......will let you know as soon as I do. :)  But, I've been impressed by several.

The Bachelorette:
Wasn't going to watch this, because I'm not a big Emily fan........not really sure why, but just not.  But alas, my sister got me watching it once again. lol

There were some good guys, but alot of dorks too.

I really liked Charlie and was sad to see him go home.  hmmmm......if he's still single............I'm still single.........just saying. ;-)  (hahaha like he'd be reading this anyway) hehehe

Totally was not sad to see Kalen go home. What a jerk.  And he was a jerk from night one.  He should have been sent packing then.  But, at least now he's gone.  *and everyone cheers*

Next one I hope to make an exit is Ryan.  He rubs me the wrong way and I don't like him at all.

I really like Sean and Arie.  These are my 2 faves.  Sean looks like a younger version of the man that plays Frank on Army Wives........*sigh* :)

Jef is growing on me, just seems a little too young to be a husband and father.


Love in the Wild:
Not a very exciting cast this season, but I still like watching.

My fave guy is Jesse.............once again, another guy that favors Frank off of Army Wives.  Wonder if Terry Serpico has 2 sons on reality tv?? :) 

My fave girl so far is Ali.

Was not sad to see Tim and Shauna go home.  Tim was so cocky......and so help me if he would have put cake in my hair, he'd have gotten the boot immediately!  Shauna is too needy, whiney, etc....and she drove me AND her partners crazy.


Virginia Vacay......

So my family and I left for Williamsburg, VA on May 19th.  We left around 5:40AM, yes you read it right...AM.  We drove to Lumberton, NC.  We got there early afternoon and decided to have an early dinner.  So we decided upon the Texas Steakhouse.........this was a 2 in 1 trip.  (first and last)

About our dinner.......the rolls were good.  That was about it though.  Mom's salad had brown lettuce.  Mom and Dad's steaks were tough as leather.  My sister and I had chicken that was burnt.  Blech. 

We left and went back to the room and got showers.  And the most amazing thing......at 9:30PM, we turned off the lights and all went to sleep.  lol  Don't remember ever going to bed that early unless I was sick.  But we were exhausted.

Got up the next morning and left around 7AM.  And headed to Williamsburg.  We arrived at our resort.......it was okay, but not spectacular.  The lady told Daddy and I that Colonial Williamsburg was a short walk from the resort and that it was about a mile and a half long.......SHE LIED!  (that will come later...in this story)

Stay tuned........I'll keep writing on this story, as it was a long trip! lol

And I have returned.........

So after a long pause from the blogging world, I have returned.

I wish I could tell you that I had been off living a very exciting life........however, the honesty of it is, I haven't really felt like sitting down and writing.

In my defense, I was out of town for about 9 days........does that let me off the hook a little??  Maybe?? ;-)

Okay......off to do some more postings.

Hope you enjoy my musings.  (and thank you for caring enough to read) :)

It's me again..........

So I know you've just been waiting to know what's been going on in my head.......well, wait no longer......here I am. lol


Sorry for the delay, but it's been so busy lately and I haven't had the chance to sit down and write.

Here are some of my thoughts on my shows:


American Idol
Still really like Skylar, Jessica, Hollie, Colton, and Phillip.  Very glad that HeyJun or however you spell his name, finally went home.  As long as one of the above wins, it'll be a good season. :)


America's Next Top Model
Yep, still very much a Team UK fan!  The Brit girls just have way more personality than the American girls.  Honestly, don't really think I like any of the American girls.  I like all the Brit girls, but I think Sophie is my fave.


Dancing with the Stars
Well, if you know me even slightly, you'll know that Derek is my absolutely FAVE dancer....so I'm always Team Derek, regardless of who his partner is. LOL  His partner this season is okay, but def not my fave.

I like watching Jaleel aka Stefan aka Urkel.  He's a very good dancer and seems to be enjoying being on the show.

Was sad this week to see Sherri from the View go home.  I didn't know much about her, but I enjoyed her personality and you could tell how much she was loving it.

William should have gone home this week.  They screwed up in their routine many times!  But alas Cheryl is one of the fave pros so they'll stay around....also because everyone thinks William is sexy.  He's okay, but Derek is better (in my opinion anyway). ;-)


Merlin
LOVE LOVE LOVE this show.  Very sad that season 4 has come to an end, but pleased to know that they're already filming Season 5 in the UK.  (hehehe yep, I like the UK) :)


Sweet Home Alabama
Well, this season ended and Paige picked Jeremiah.  I hope that they're very happy.  He's not who I would have chosen, but that's a good thing.........means that Bubba is still single! Hmmm.......Bubba's single, I'm still single......................*grin*  (yeah, wishful thinkin' there)

I actually liked the guys on SHA better this season than the last.  I even liked a few of the city guys, especially Dustin Tavella. :)  He's a cutie.  And I love his song that he wrote "Do It Like Bubba".  If you haven't heard the song, go to YouTube and look it up.  You can even see Dustin and Bubba in the video......I highly recommend it. :)


Well, I guess that's about all the thoughts I have at the moment, but I'm sure I'll have more later.

As always, thanks for reading!!!! :)  Feedback, comments are always welcome! <3

Reality TV show thoughts

Okay, so I figured that I'd post a few comments on current Reality shows that I'm watching...if you're interested in my thoughts/opinions anyway....if not, don't read. hehehehe :)

American Idol

So far the people that I like are: Phillip, Colton, Erika, Holly, Jessica, and Skylar

The ones I don't: Heejun, Deandre, Joshua, and Elise

Philip - he's just unique.  Very talented.  I can see him going far in the competition.

Colton - he's a rocker and is very good at it.  Seems to be a sweetheart too.

Erika - I like her.  She's got a great voice!

Holly - such a little girl with a big voice! 

Jessica - another little girl with a huge voice.  This girl is awesome.  I wouldn't be surprised if she made it all the way to final 2!

Skylar - little country spunky monkey!  Love to hear her sing! 

Heejun - I don't think he should have even made it to Hollywood, let alone top 10?? Really?  Are they listening to him sing?  I mean I know that he has good pitch, but his words are AWFUL. He needs to go home.

Deandre - Is he awful.....well, not completely, but he's not good either.  Every time I see him, for some reason, I'm picturing Kenny G and Milli Vanilli.  Don't get me wrong, I like both of those, but that's who I see.......(Note......I said "see", not "hear").

Joshua - He's an okay singer, but I don't see what the judges find all that spectacular about him.

Elise - She's okay, but just not a fave and I usually end up fast forwarding her.


America's Next Top Model

So this season it's Team USA vs Team UK.  You'd think that I'd be Team USA all the way, but actually I like Team UK better.  I love their accents (obviously), but I like the personalities better as well.

I don't really have a fave so far.  But, stay tuned because I'm sure I will later.



Well, that's all I have for you for now..........til next time.

Final Bachelor thoughts...

Yeah, well so The Bachelor is over......til next time.

I must say that this is the first Bachelor that I really didn't care if I saw all of the final episode, because come on....it was so obvious that Ben was going to pick Courtney.  Lindzi should be so thankful that he didn't pick her.

I liked Ben during Ashley's season on the Bachelorette, but he changed my opinion of him.  I think it really changed when he sent Kacie B home.  I think that's when his true colors started shining through.  But, so very thankful for Kacie that he sent her home.  She's way too good for him, as are all the other girls that didn't get chosen.

Regarding the Women Tell All show.........really? Did they tell us anything we didn't already know? Nope.  Should have been called the Women tell us everything again.....because it was just a rehash of everything we already knew.  As for Courtney's tearfest.........did I buy it? Nope. Not one bit.  It was an act.......nothing more, nothing less.

I think Ben & Courtney deserve each other.  They *may* last.....but I wouldn't hold my breath on it.

My vicarious life

I've come to the conclusion that my vicarious life is more exciting than my real one. LOL

It's been an on-going joke with my friend Suzanne that I'm living vicariously through her as she moved from Australia to the UK and she shares her life with me through her beautiful photographs.  (One day I will go to the UK!)

I'm also now living vicariously through 2 of my besties that are expecting babies this year.  I'm so thankful and blessed that these 2 friends allow me to share in this wonderful occasion with them and I look forward to spoiling these children!!
