Oprah Ep. 10.24: "B+"

If you didn't know, fat people are so -- not jolly. And you shouldn't date 'em too unless you're attracted to addicts and painful dramas. I can personally tell you that the fat peeps I've known were ticking time bombs. And it's really not about the weight. You can be the most sensitive person and still be subject to the manifestations of their deep-seated issues. I was once amazed at how many times he'd mention his weight when that was the last thing on my mind. No matter what you do or say, they'll never trust you -- at least that's what he honestly told me.
By abusing alcohol, Dr. Robin says Lori is ultimately transferring her childhood wounds to her own children. "This is what happens when people were injured and they don't heal the wound," says Dr. Robin. "They then become the perpetrator, and then they harm other people as well as themselves."

Phil Ep. 09.20: "B"

Don't-Date-Him-Girl servers must be overloaded thanks to stupid Todd. Boy, you must be the stupidiest attorney I've ever seen; appearing on a show where you'll be portrayed as a bitter fool is always a bad choice. Because of your stupid ego, you'll be losing more business; clients will be running away from your cheap-'n-tacky-suit ass don't want to hire stupid lawyers. And your hate for Tasha -- my hero -- will only help Ms. Joseph; you know very little about publicity. Good or bad -- in this case, extremely good --, all this publicity is gonna make women cheer for Ms. Joseph; you're just bitter that you'll never drive a Jaguar.

Smith Ep. 09.19: "C+"

I really hope the show gets better after the pilot. Let's roll:

Hope's parole officer has a scary-looking, pus-filled pimple on the chin; hopefully the angry pimple goes away or she gets replaced. And Bobby's boss is stupid to think that he can threaten and gain control of his "employee."

Before I continue, I gotta pick on somebody; I'm sorry but there's something unnatrual about Virginia Madsen, and that's all I could think about when she was in bed with Ray Liotta. Don't get me wrong; Madsen is a beautiful woman but there's something about her that makes me wanna inspect for any tweaking she may have had done -- it shows too much. And Ray Liotta needs to pluck some more nose hair if he wants to be portrayed sexy.

Moving on, in blond boy (Jeff) world, when someone bullies you, you just shoot 'em in the head. And a cat will love you even if you kicked it.

Interesting choice of music for a desert backdrop; Indian evokes "exotic" but not too sure if it's apt for a British dude coming out of a California penitentiary.

Amy Smart looks sexy but she can't do sexy; has a bit trouble with the pumps and the stupid editor/director doesn't muffle out a bike speeding away during her "sexy" scene and it deflates. Maybe it's supposed to be a segue but when you're trying to build a sexy character, you don't knock it out like that. And what town is named Shadyside? And why doesn't she kill Condescending Girl?

Best couple scene was Shawn's Latino girl Macy and Joe. Yes, it's delicious to see that there's history between a married woman and her husband's "best" friend and they pull it off:
Macy: I should have married you!
Joe: I've never asked you.
Macy: Yeah well, that was the problem wasn't it?

Boss Charlie looks scary; old ladies should not wear black eyeliners.And "Hide and Seek" by Imogen Heap is a pretty cool song.

S60 Ep. 09.18: "B-"

Fifteen minutes before the curtain goes down, Matthew Perry bursts in and saves the show. Believe me when I say that anything before 10:45 was crap; it's Perry's world and everybody else are just extras. It is cuz of this dude that this show has a chance in hell. Frankly, I'm disappointed from all the hype and I'm hoping that the show will get better cuz who doesn't like a charming Chandie (aka Chandler; see "Friends")? And oh, the attempts at psychological games.

p.s. Amanda Peet doesn't look goofy (i.e. her face) which is surprising.

TAR Ep. 09.17: "B+/A-"

My head was spinning from trying to keep up with all the characters but the show kept my heart racing and I kinda like the Cho brothers. I just wish the long-haired one got himself a haircut; FYI, ponytails are so -- not sexy. Well, yes, the other one looks like an asshole but hey, it's hard to find Korean guys who got some meat on da bone. Ya dig?

The thing about the challenges is that maybe there should be some kind of split-screen thing cuz all the white couples look alike -- except the hicks. And it was kinda disturbing to see a father showing a little bit too much PDA to his daughter; I guess the origin of incest is loneliness. And I must note that seeing Sarah scrambling to climb The Great Wall was just cruel and a good place to take a commercial break.

Let's just hope we get to see white people get eliminated next week.

Survivor Ep. 09.14: "C+"

I'll tell ya one thing: as long as the crazies aren't voted off, it's gonna be a fun ride, kids. Let's start with Cao Boi (hereafter CB): this crazy, Vietnamese goat sure knows how to make people look stupid. All it took was mumbling about breaking the wind inside Brad's head; but CB pops a vein instead on the forehead for all to see. Stupid Brad then tries to cover his embarrassment with a cap but the rest of the P tribe laughs at him anyway.

The immunity challenge was fun to watch. I'm just wondering, if Indians and Jews were included, would the Asians still have won?

About the tribe names, who came up with it? Nobody's gonna remember hard-to-spell names. Speaking of which, the blacks or the M tribe really lived up to their stereotype during TB (tribal council). Probe (Jeff Probst) chucked it to stereotype exploitation and held the errors for all the world to see; apparently Sekou wasn't meant to stay cuz spelling out "Sundra" takes an extra letter. Anyhoo, it's interesting that the boys and girls didn't gang up on Steph -- you one lucky girl, bitch. But then again, Sekou, you chauvinist, ya just don't tell a black woman that: only you can make fire; instead, you should have reversed the finger like Smokey the Bear: "Only you can prevent forest fires!"

On a side note, I don't know if Burnett was sane when he threw a clip of the M tribe getting a barrel of parasite-ridden water. I also don't like that they didn't cast any Carltons (see "The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air"). As far as I'm concerned, the M tribe is at a disadvantage.

BB Ep. 08.17: "B+"

On the road to winning, pawns are meant to take the heat; to do your bidding. CG (Chicken George) may think that it's awesome that he finally won HoH, but let us remember that, just like in life, causing others to envy can only make you a target. People love underdogs and they cheer when the underdog gets a bone or two, but they don't want the underdog to win that brand-new car when they could win it too. So unless you're rich enough to protect yourself behind the walls of a mighty fortress with a military to defend it, don't go around flaunting your mediocre amount of money -- Get my drift?

Make sure your decisions don't end up backfiring. That's why Dr. Evil (Will) doesn't try too hard in competitions. Boogie, I'm afraid everyone already knows that you won Coup d'Etat; Stop trying so hard to hide it. The more you act, the more attention you draw. At this stage, I believe you've become Will's pawn. Saying stuff like "Sucker, you're going down" will only draw the wrath of a scorned bitch. And remember, he's on jury, now. If you make it to the final two, you're out one vote. Sure, Will may have said nastier things on the live feeds -- he remarked that Nicole is dressed like a lesbian wrestler, and that never got aired -- but you're the one whose snicker got broadcasted. And I doubt that the sequestered houseguests will have time or be allowed to watch live feeds.

It seems pretty obvious to me that Will is gonna watch from the sidelines, and let the idiots duke it out. He's got the best seat in the house -- with all the ties and relationships he's built (e.g. Jani, Dani, etc.) -- and he's gonna watch 'em burn, and whoever is left standing will probably have hit every nerve of everyone, shifting the jury vote to Will. In short, it's gonna be another Jun vs. Alison; Alison pissed everyone off too much and Jun was smart enough to keep her mouth shut when necessary. Sure, she made fun of everyone in the DR (Diary Room), but learning that someone talked behind your back isn't as painful as an actual, in-your-face experience. In the end, just like in life, it's the floaters who win it. Will may complain about the floaters all the time, but that's like the pot calling the kettle black; Will is gonna win it floating, away from the fireworks -- unless Jani and Dani team up; that'd be really smart like Jani's mom said. Hopefully, like Julie said, we can "expect the unexpected."
