Wednesday's Reality TV

WTF is going on with this Big Brother schedule? It's hard enough for me to toggle back and forth between BB & AI on Tuesdays, but now BB is on Wednesdays too? I probably shouldn't complain after this dry & horrible winter TV season, but it gets on my nerves. I'm going to need to get a TiVo.

Anyway, I did my best and here's what I came up with.

None of the characters from BB have done much over the past 24 hours to change my original impressions, but there were a few interesting developments.

That last remaining gay guy (well, the last OPENLY gay guy) threw a pretty impressive hissy fit, which at least brought his existence to the attention of viewers. Still, his comment about Amanda's father was pretty dirty, and I'm surprised she didn't drown him in the hot tub. I would have. And plus, she could easily take him. For all her booty shorts and bikinis and high-pitched Disney voices, I truly think she's a man in drag.
And the one with the made up name and the Posh-Spice haircut? I'm sorry, but she looks like she should be in porn. God love her, maybe she's as sweet and innocent as can be, but she just has that dirty look to her. The "Girls Gone Wild" look.
Surprise of the night: watching Ryan chop off his own balls and hand them to Jen. It was glaringly obvious that she threw him under the bus, and it was equally obvious that he knew it, but he chose to let his pecker decide and forgive her anyway. Silly, silly boy. In related news, the highlight of the night was watching Jen leave. Mind you, I wouldn't be surprised to see Ryan start making it with Allison, and have Jen come stampeding up and kick in the door to the Big Brother house as soon as she gets wind of it.

On to American Idol.

The girls weren't nearly as good as the guys. It's going to be harder to nail down a top 6 since all of the performances, with the exception of 1 or 2, were just "so so". I'm sure over the next week, my predictions will change somewhat.

Amanda (the rough biker chick)
Same same same. Waaaaaaaay too Janis Joplin. She could sing "My Heart Will Go On" and it's going to sound like a scream fest. Yuk. She's beyond inappropriate for this show. And still, because Americans are...well, Americans, she'll be in the top 12 anyway. Ridiculous.

Alexandrea (the skinny black girl who wore the suspenders)
I thought she was really good, but the judges seemed to think she fell short. And her name is very guest-on-Rikki-Lake-ish. SHe has a chance at the top 12, but I won't guarantee her a spot.

Amy (the one hard to describe since she's so ordinary...she sang "Where the Boys Are)
I can't even believe she's in the top 24 based on her performance last night. Horrible. See ya later hun.

Alaina (the really young blonde)
I think she has an awesome voice, but it's hard to stand out with that much blonde hair in the crowd. She stands a chance at the top 12, but she'll have to do something next week and the week after to make herself seem unique and outstanding.

Asia'h (the one who's father died two days before her audition)
Ok, I feel bad for her as far as her father goes and she does have a good voice. But is the apostrophy "H" really necessary???????? No first name should have an apostrophy. Ever. God. Possibly in the top 12, but I'm not sure yet.

Brooke (the flower child with the fluffy blonde hair)
Blah blah blah. She's not as good as she thinks she is.

Carly (the Irish chick with the black hair)
I think she's going to win the whole thing! What an awesome voice. Top 12 shoe-in.

Joanne (the big black girl)
She's pretty alright, but is she really pretty enough to have been a plus-sized model? I'm not sure. Anyway, last night she sucked, but I think she'll get better.

Kady (the one who does the Britney Spears impression)
Man, this girl sings Britney better than Britney does! It's amazing! But when she's not doing impressions, I think she has a fantastic voice. Definitely top 12.

Kristy Lee (the country-ish blonde...last night she was first)
Booooo. Her voice is a little too twangy for my taste, but she is generally better than she was last night. I'm hoping it was that infamous "flu" that made everyone suck. Anyway, I'm sure she'll be top 12 as well.

Ramiele (the weird asian one)
Ok voice, but I don't like her as much as Simon seems to (maybe he wants to bag her, that's usually the reason he gushes over mediocre performers). Whatever, after what he said about her, she'll be top 12 too.

Syesha (the black girl with the large hair)
Pretty good voice, but yawn.

So there it is. 5 of the 6 spots in this year's top 12 are more or less spoken for, and the last one could go to whichever of the three steps up their game. Going home this week will be Amy & another, I'm not sure which.

Until next time homies.
