Earl wins Survivor: Now it is judgement time of those that watched the show. Hypocritical Jurors! Oh the self-righteousness BULL

, , , ...

First, I was completely disgusted at five of the jurors. Alex, Lisi, Edgardo, Mookie and Boo. Really whom do they think they are kidding! We the public watched the show! The ignorance and poor sportsmanship that was shown tonight was incredible. Let's see who should I go at first ! Eeenie meenie minnie mo!

Alex: who I am thinking suffers from delusions of grandeur! What survivor was he part of,? because he has, his facts screwed up. Alex DID! discuss with Edgardo and Mookie that if they lose the immunity challenge Dreamz would be the one voted out; has the nerve, the audacity to be angry and upset! Dreamz outwitted him, them, deal with it! Sure, he traded his so-called alliance in, I would have to, if I knew that, I was the next to go! Alex's only real alliance was with Edgardo! He used as many people that he could, it is unfortunate for him that he has a big mouth! That he was not cautious enough to realize that people were listening! Alex and Edgardo both planned to be the final two(not knowing there was a final three)! Alex's ignorance tonight was overwhelming, uncalled for, and very crass. He did not have his facts straight at all! Stacey treated everyone like crap when she thought she had the numbers and that she was in control of the game! When those persons in her alliance were voted out, Stacey became very friendly with Cassandra ! Cassandra did say this in an earlier show, that Stacey all of a sudden was being nice to her. Cassandra knew that Stacey was using her alliance to further herself in the game. Stacey also turned her back on the horsemen and she did because she knew they were outnumbered! Further, Alex, Mookie and Edgardo would of voted out Stacey in a heartbeat, they were the four horsemen. For a lawyer Alex got his facts wrong, then again, some lawyers are called liars and this fits Alex the liar, the ignorant, the vile to a tee!
How about when Alex and Mookie went through Yau Man’s personal belongings. Was this honourable, wasn’t that deceitful! Then they attempted to blackmail him if he didn’t do what they wanted. This of course backfired on them, sending Mookie packing! Alex has nothing to say he played the game less then honourable if you ask me and from what I watched!

Moving along:

What exactly is Lisi’s problem? Oh but wait her original alliance was Alex,Boo, Stacy,and Edgardo.Whom all mistreated others! Which made it hard for them to FIT in once the tables turned! Is that what Lisi is mad about, that her abusive attitude and demeanour blew up in her face! Lisi couldn’t take the heat could she! Once she had no control over anyone, she faltered and fell apart. All we got to see of Lisi is either abuse, whining, crying and saying I want to go home and her consistent regular meltdown's!! Well she got her wish, her alliance couldn’t trust her to keep it together. Every show Lisi was both ignorant and abusive to others specifically to African Americans or to those that she thought were weaker then her. Turns out Lisi was weak and feeble! What a cry-baby! Nobody liked Lisi at all! Which is why she had a hard time. Lisi has the audacity to try and make us all believe she is an example of an upstanding honest person. She treated Anthony and Dreamz like crap and then she has the nerve to rag on Cassandra because she didn’t open her arms to Stacey. Stacey! Who treated Cassandra like shit until she needed her! Please what a bunch of verbal crock coming from Lisi.

Moving on to Mookie!

If Karma exists, which I for one do not believe it does, then I would say that Karma is coming back to bite Mookie, Alex, Edgardo and Lisi in the butt! Who are they kidding! They were mean spirited and thought they were so much better then others! Mookie only had it out for Cassandra because she was a stronger mind player and had the ability to bring people together. She was the sole reason that Earl, Yau Man, Dreamz and even Stacey got together. Mookie, Alex and Edgardo knew this and that is what pissed them off. I also remember Mookie and Alex laughing at Yau Man at more then one challenge! Only to have Yau Man win the challenge! When Mookie told Dreamz he found the immunity idol, and Dreamz inquired to when he found it. Mookie and the horsemen sealed their fate. Dreamz is very street wise and not stupid, he read them and he read them correctly. He changed alliances for good reason to survive and to try and win!

Moving on to Sour Grapes Edgardo

Edgardo has been pissed since he was outwitted, outfoxed and outsmarted by those he felt were less superior to him! Every time we saw Edgardo after he was ousted, he looked like he was going to cry! The horsemen talked to much Alex and Edgardo made it obvious that the rest of their alliance was dispensable. What did they think their alliance was going to do hand them the win on a silver platter. Allow the brainless duo to walk over, lie, cheat, black mail everyone into handing them one million bucks. Pleasezeeeeeeeeeeee. Edgardo was not as smart as he thought and he was blindsided, which annoys him!

MOVING ON:

BOO: What is Boo’s problem! Did he really think he could waltz into an existing alliance of four strong and take them by storm! Give me a break. Boo did not try to get to know these people until he needed them, he thought he had the game in the bag! What good Christian was Boo talking about! He wheeled and dealed, cheated and lied like everyone else. In this game, there is no good Christian and religion does not figure into it!

Now let's get down to the meat and bones of Dreamz. Who in their right mind, would hand over a chance to win one million dollars! Yau man was plotting himself, and hoping that his strategy would work. Yau man was playing a game and he took the risk of hoping that morals and values would be the factor to get him one million dollars. If Dreamz were gullible and naive enough to give Yau immunity,then he would have been a fool. Yau man was plotting to get rid of Dreamz after he gave him the immunity idol. What was Yau's reason for wanting Dreamz gone? He thought Dreamz may get some votes and threaten his win to the million.He also would of rather took Stacey to the final four then Cassandra. Again he was pulling out all the stops to try and win the million like everyone else! Yau Man was playing the game like everyone else. Remember he even took the time to make a fake idol, in hope that someone would find it! Yau man was cunning and witty but so was the rest of his alliance! Anybody playing this game knows that it is survivor, it is about physical challenges, yes, but more so about wit, cunning and lying. Dreamz handing over immunity to Yau man was certain that he had no chance to win the million dollars even if he was in the final three!

I have been reading that Earl only got so far because of Yau Man. Umm, no, that is not true. The reason Yau Man had the first idol, is because Earl was sent to exile island several times and gave Yau Man the clues to find the Immunity Idol. Further, if it had not been for Earl and his alliances the others were all gunning to vote Yau Man out they said it repeatedly. Lisi, Boo, Stacey, Egardo, Alex, Mookie! When Yau Man went to Exile Island he returned the favour and Earl found the idol.

In this game alliances only go so far, nobody is in it to be a good person or woman at the end. Nor will it be about Morals and values, it is about surviving and trying to win one million dollars. This is a life-changing event to the person who wins it.

I liked Yau man, Earl, Dreamz and Cassandra. They all played the game well. The bottom line is when it comes down to numbers it will be every man or women for themselves and they are going to take with them the person that the jury is least likely to vote for. Taking Yau Man to the final three was a guaranteed loss for Earl, Cassandra and Dreamz. Some folks are suggesting that the final three should of just let Yau man have the million dollars because it was the honourable thing to do! Please, anybody that wants to be honest, knows they would of lied, cheated, and did what they had to do to try and win one million dollars. They would not of been worried about morals, values and honour! Anyone wanting to confirm they would of gave Yau the million, well then I suggest you get yourself on the show, and let us see you do just that next season!Give up that million bucks, hey what is even better, win the million dollars and hand it right over to another survivor who helped you and who you helped! Snort! It would be a cold day in hell when that happens!

What Alex, Edgardo, and Mookie are mad about is that they were outwitted. These three feel that they are far more superior over others, when in reality, they are bad sports, and they played a foolish game. They did not bother to try to make separate alliances with others until it was to late. They voted out stronger people in their tribe at the beginning of game. They would have voted out dreamz in a heartbeat! and he knew it! What Lisi and Boo is upset about is only their miserable failure to keep the control they thought they had over the tribes. Then again, they never had control over the teams. They were just permitted to think! They did!

Earl made a wise decision in getting rid of Yau Man, because he knew he could not beat him.

Congradulations Earl, you made all the right moves, you were smart, and you survived to win the million dollars.

I also like the fact that Earl is giving his mother $500,000 ( half of his winnings). His mother has been a single mother all his life. I hope Earl and his mom enjoy the money. I believe Earl's hardworking mother can now retire. Earl is the man of the hour and proved that everyonein this game can use the money!

The self rightousness bull that came from Lisi, Mookie, Alex and Edgardo was laughable. I would suggest they watch their conduct in the show from beginning to end, before they talk to anyone else about thier conduct. Upstanding they were not!

Amazing Race All Stars: Who will be in the final three to compete for the million dollars!

, , ,

Last week Eric and Danielle avoided elimination, because it was the final! Non-elimination match! However, they will have to pick up speed in the race, in order to stay in the final three for the million-dollar prize. All other teams in the race are very strong, very wilful and will almost stop at nothing to win the million dollars!

This Article is written and owned by: Arne

The teams left:

1. The Dynamic Duo!- Charla and Mirna- You either love them or hate them! Charla and Mirna are the biggest surprise in this race. They showed that they can race, they are not followers they are leaders. Having said that, in their quest to get the finish line, they can be annoying, rude, demanding, and ill mannered! I don't think I have a problem with the above with fellow racers (who for the most part are just as rude and ill mannered)! I do have a problem with how they treat the natives of the countries they visit. It is not necessary to treat the people in the host countries in this manner as we have witnessed them doing! Having said that I am rooting for Charla and Mirna to finish the race and win the prize. I am very impressed with Charla, she has more against her in this race then any other team member, yet she has proven it can be done!

2. Class Act- Oswald and Danny-I am also rooting for them to win as well. If Charla and Mirna cannot win it, I am hoping that Oswald and Danny will win it! This team is the very opposite of Charla and Mirna. They have class, they are well mannered, and they are very respectful to the host countries. I love the way they race! They depend on themselves as opposed to trying keep up with everyone else. They also pride themselves in running a clean race! Having said that, Oswald and Danny may find themselves in the predicament having to get down and dirty for the final leg of the race, if they want the prize of the million dollars. Anyone left will play it down and dirty, if not downright evil to get to the finish and the prize!

3.Dustin and Kandace- Brains and Brawn! Dustin and Kandace have shown and proven they have the skills that go beyond pretty faces, they can play hardball competition! I think the beauty queen's are a threat to the other racers. I don't think that others took them seriously enough. They were to busy thinking that they were the Beauty Queen's and not a serious enough of a threat. Dustin and Kandace seem to be sneaking up on the unsuspecting competitors. Don't be surprised if they go full speed ahead it they make it in the final three. I also think that the Beauty Queen's treat the locals of each country with respect. I do like that quality in them. I am rooting for them as well. They have shown they are not just beauty, but they have a competitive spirit entwined with brains and brawn. They have played this race well!

4.Eric and Danielle-The Mystery Team-This team is my least favourite of all the All Stars! I don't know what it is about them, but they are not that together in this race. I think that they are cynical; they have too many unflattering comments to say about other racers. I am not as impressed with them! Having said that, I know the heat is on in this competition and they were facing other all stars, but I don't know why they are even in the all-star series! Comparing them to the other all stars, it is almost a mystery to why they were selected. They did not do that well in their original race, and it was not their personalities or characters that would of got them an all-star spot! The one’s I would have liked to see in the race in place of Eric and Danielle is Colin and Christie. Could you imagine Colin and Christie pitted against Rob and Amber that would have been something to see!

Survivor: Fiji: Four Horsemen now down to three: Battle of the wits: Edgardo Voted Out

, , ,

In the history of Survivor or at the very least since I started to watch survivor; I have NEVER seen the immunity idol played the way it went down on last night’s show. It was cunning, slick, insightful and good for a good chuckle. Anyone watching had to take in the knowing smirks that Mookie, Alex, Dreamz, and Edgardo had on their faces; when they thought they had outsmarted the syndicate, (which is the alliance of Earl, Yau –Man, Cassandra). However Boo and Stacey (who both are trying to save themselves, went with the strongest alliance) and Dreamz is playing both sides! Then when the four horsemen became enlightened, became aware, realized that they had been outsmarted, outfoxed, outwitted by the Syndicate; the revelation and expression on their faces was priceless. I don’t think I have laughed so hard, since Janelle of Big Brother All Stars booted Will out of the house!

Is Dreamz acting like a double agent? Or is Dreamz getting a little personal revenge on the horsemen the alliance he started out with?

First, this particular alliance have not really treated Dreamz that well if you ask me! It seems to me the horsemen think that Dreamz is expendable! They only planned to use him as far as they need his vote. I think that Dreamz may be playing this game smarter then some are willing to give him credit for! Mookie made a huge error and mistake when he told Dreamz about the idol, because it enlightened Dreamz to the fact that his alliance did not! fully trust him! Had Mookie and the boys told Dreamz when they first found it; I doubt if Dreamz would of traded them in. I think that Dreamz is acting on instinct! He has been a survivor of life’s realities in his own life experience. I think he knows, that if it came down to it that his alliance of the horsemen would not hesitate to take him out and vote against him! That they would not protect him at all!

It is Mookie that had the big mouth! He either should of told Dreamz from the beginning or kept it mum until he absolutely had to play the idol! I don’t think Dreamz made a bad decision in voting Michelle out either. This game is called survivor (not only of the fittest, but of wits as well!) Dreamz has put himself in the best position in more ways then one! First, each side need to try and sway him! They do need his vote! (He is the swing vote). The horsemen need him because they are now just three! Stacey is also another swing vote! She is going to go with whomever will keep her in the game! Boo is also in position to make a difference! (These three really don’t have that much of an alliance with either side) I think that in any given week, it will be interesting to see who will outwit who and who will sway these three important votes. Having said that, I also think that Dreamz put himself in a bad situation, if he continues to go with the Horsemen! If he sticks with the dream team of Earl, Yau-Man, and Cassandra and is loyal to the Syndicate, he will go far in the game! Cassandra definitely has Dreamz’s back in this game. However, if Dreamz continues to go back and forth, he will be voted out by both sides, because he has become more dangerous!

Mookie and Edgardo seem to have it out for Cassandra in a bad way. I think it is because they know she is playing this game well and as long as Cassandra is there, Stacey will be more inclined to stick with that alliance as opposed to the horsemen alliance. I don’t think the horsemen have played the game well. First, by naming themselves the Horsemen!!! Only allows others to know, their alliance is for the boys and not for the ladies! That they would only use the ladies votes because they needed them and would not hesitate to get rid of them if they had to! They doomed themselves in the name and their actions and words.

It is going to be interesting to see how this plays out each week. I expect a phenomenal finish.

The Amazing Race All Stars- 3/25/07- Teri and Ian last to arrive- Charla and Mirna surprise!

, , , ...

Teri and Ian Pollock gave the race a good run and even outlasted Rob and Amber, however their journey on the race ended on Sunday.



This article is written and owned by Arne:

Charla and Mirna is the news and the surprise on the race. Not only are have these two All stars come in first for two weeks in a row, they were the one's that outsmarted, outwitted Rob and Amber. Could it be with their second to last finish, and for the fact that Rob and Amber tried to fool them, that they found their second life in the race?

First, there really should be no surprised they were picked as all stars for a reason. They are the only team to tell off Rob, Amber and the beauty queen's. They also seem to have learned from their first race. For example while everyone else was prepared to go on stand-by, Charla and Mirna took a risk and it paid off for them.

With the eliminination of Rob and Amber, I find the amazing race has just become more interesting, then what we expected.


One Extreme to the other-Worst Theme Performances in American Idol History: American Idol recap 03-29 -06-Lisa Tucker was robbed

One Extreme to the other-Worst Theme Performances in American Idol History: American Idol recap 03-29 -06-Lisa Tucker was robbed- 03-30-06



This Article is Written and Owned by: Arne

By now most journalists, authors and writers of blogs have all agreed that the 21st Century theme was one of the worst shows in American Idol history! The 21st Century theme night was a complete and absolute disaster. The performances lacked any energy, any highlighting of the competitors vocal range and singing talent, and any spontaneity. Frankly, the 21st century was a snooze fest and most of the performances bombed. What bland, uninspiring performances by most of the competitors.

The problem I saw with the 21st century is that it did not not give the competitors enough guidance, so they erred in their song choices. I think that theme nights should be the way that they have been, guest appearances from those artists who are well developed and integrated in music. Artists that are Icons and have staying power seem to give the competitors more to go on, then simply letting them choose out of a catalogue! The competitors are novices, you can hand them a catalogue of over 5000 songs, and they simply do not have enough knowledge or experience to choose a song that is suited for their vocal range and instead of highlighting their vocals as an asset, their vocals sounded more like a liability!

Having said that there were a four show savers out of the top ten. Two of who landed in the bottom three, and one who was sent home!

Lisa Tucker and Katherine McPhee certainly did not belong in the bottom three at all! Taylor and Elliott also gave good sound performances. We also need to remind American Idol, that Kelly Clarkson is a powerful talent today! However, when she started on AI, she did not have the same power in her singing as she does today! Frankly, if one listens to their favourite artists or singing group, first album then listen to their third or fourth album, there is quite a difference in their vocals and even their performances! Lisa’s did a very good job on Clarkson’s song.

I certainly hope that the judges and specifically Simon are thrilled and satisfied that Lisa is gone. We all know that Simon worked at assuring that each week! Nobody should be shocked this is exactly what Simon was working on! As a matter of fact Simon’s final quote on elimination night, i.e. “that anyone could have been sent home, was too little to late!” The fact and truth of the matter is that Lisa had been underrated by the judges from the beginning. I also think that Lisa who smiled through every put down that Simon could give her, is a most eloquent, mature girl, who at 16, knows her potential and what she will be doing in her future. Lisa had commented that she has been working towards a singing career all of her life and it is what she wants to do. I do not think that Lisa Tucker will have any problem in the future of making it. Stevie Wonder and Barry Manilow both were surprised at Lisa’s powerful voice and vocal range! AI was a good experience for Lisa. It gave her insight on what it was like and just confirmed her conviction that she will be an artist of considerable staying power one day!!

The performances were so bad that we saw extremities with two of the competitors, we saw Daughtry continue not to rise to the challenge, to the point that Simon finally told him, that he could not continue to do these types of performances each week and that he went to far! Chris simply shrugged! Then we see Mandisa singing a gospel song! I am sorry, but this is American Idol and as much as I love gospel music in groups like the Mississippi and Georgia Mass Choir, Kurt Franklin ect. I was totally put in shock with both performances given by Mandisa and Daughtry! It was one extreme to the other!

Who should have been in the bottom three were Chris Daughtry, Mandisa and Kelli Pickler. These performances on 21-st century theme night were the ones that were by far the worst in my opinion!

I certainly hope this is not an indication of what to expect each week!

On to other things, Ryan Seacrest looked great each night, dressed in suits that make him look handsome. While Simon Cowell was his usual charming self and was more likened to a Pit Bull! Paula is continuing to show strength in her character by given her own true opinion. I did note that at one point Simon was trying to control Paula! Paula had been clapping for a competitor and Simon grabbed her arm and sat her back down! Paula jerked her arm away from him!

Simon!!! Paula is in fact a woman!!! If she chooses to stand, up and clap because she enjoyed a peformaance that is completely and absolutely up to her! If fans of AI do not agree with it or feel she or any judge is showing favoritism! Then we will let them know through our blogs, articles ect ! Simon you need to keep your hands to yourself! It seems to me you tried to pounce and trample Paula’s self-esteem and feminity, by calling her a precocious child! However, Simon, your own actions indicate that you yourself are acting childish! Frankly Paula and Simon have more of are relationship of feuding siblings. Simon instigates many of Paula’s reactions! Simply, the camera’s catch’s only Paula’s reactions to Simon, making her look bad!
