TV Talk – The Bachelorette Update
New Season of the Bachelor. Jake returns! See which 15 girls made Jake’s first cut. Click here. Here’s a Bachelorette update on Jillian Harris and fiance Ed Swiderski. Since the cameras on The Bachelorette stopped running, this relationship has been swamped with controversy. It seems that Jillian is standing by her man, Ed, even though accusations of Ed’s unfaithfulness are now surfacing. Two women have come forward claiming they were carrying on relationship with Swiderski while he was trying to win Jillian’s heart during the filming of the reality show. Bethany Steffen, 25, a Chicago marketing developer, claims Swiderski sent her this racy text “Bring beer and condoms,” on June 3, after he was already engaged to Jillian. When Ed left the show on April 15 due to “work reasons” … Read entire article »

America’s Got Talent – Quarter Finals – Season 4 – 8/19/09
This week on America’s Got Talent we had 12 more performers vying for five spots – 4 audience picks and one judge’s choice. It’s a tough choice this week as there was a lot more talent in this group than in the previous two groups. Too bad they didn’t split the talent up more evenly because to me it seems like more than 5 acts should be moving on from this group. Here’s a video clip of Bri… and then on with the contestants and judge’s comments AND who made it through. The 4 audience picks moving on are: Kenny Ou Mario & Jenny Lawrence Beamen Hario Torres And the Judges pick is: FootworKINGz ~Kate Enjoy your Coffee Break! … Read entire article »

America’s Got Talent – Quarter Finals
This week (8/4 & 8/5) on America’s Got Talent we started on the quarter finals with 12 acts performing, followed by an audience vote. Five acts survived ( 4 audience selected and 1 judge selected) to move on to the semi-finals. First a video clip of Thia Megia’s performance this week… Here are the twelve acts that performed and the judges comments. Breaksk8 hit the stage in hopes of winning America’s vote. The judges want the break-dancers on wheels to prove to them they are worth being in the finals. Piers thinks the skates slowed the whole performance down, Sharon thinks it’s a great way to open the show and David thinks the guys don’t need the flashy dancers. He wants more skating. The next act to hit the stage is 14-year-old singer, Thia … Read entire article »

TV Talk – The Bachelorette
New Season of the Bachelor. Jake returns! See which 15 girls made Jake’s first cut. Click here. This week on The Bachelorette… Jillian took the final 4 guys (Kiptyn, Reid, Wes and Ed ) to Spain. The first date was spent Flamingo dancing, motorcycle riding and making out with Kiptyn - however no fantasy suite. The downside – Jillian thinks he may be too accommodating. The second date was with Reid and they had a picnic, and dinner and made out – and again no fantasy suite. Downside – Reid is reluctant to open up about his feelings. The third date was with Ed, who left the show earlier and came back on last weeks show to plead for another chance. They went on a horse-drawn carriage ride, dinner and made out – and Jillian … Read entire article »

TV Talk – The Bachelorette
New Season of the Bachelor. Jake returns! See which 15 girls made Jake’s first cut. Click here. On last nights episode of The Bachelorette… Jillian went to the hometowns of the five remaining bachelors: Kypton, Jesse, Wes, Michael, and Reid. In a surprise move, Jake (my fav who got kicked off last week) came back to tell Jillian what a two-faced sleaze-bag Wes is and that he has a girl friend. Wes, who has a girl friend and is only there to promote his music career Sweet Jake, who Jillian kicked off last week, and is my pick for the next bachelor Jillian made a stupid move and ignored Jake’s warning and gave Wes a rose anyway. Also Ed, who left voluntarily a few episodes ago, came back and asked for another chance, … Read entire article »

TV Talk – So You Think You Can Dance
So You Think You Can Dance Thursday night reality dancing show on FOX. The show started out with 20 contestants (10 men & 10 women) dancing in pairs. Each week one man and one woman is eliminated. America picks the bottom 3 couples, and the judges decide which 2 of these bottom 6 go home. Let me just say that the host Cat annoys the crap out of me, and judge Mary Murphy is so obnoxious I can hardly bear it, BUT the dancers are soooo talented, and that I why I love this show. (The highlight of my dancing career is tap dancing to The Beer Barrel Polka when I was about 10 in New Ulm, Mn. – the polka capitol of the USA. A proud day…hee hee.) My fav female dancers this … Read entire article »

TV Talk…I’m a Celebrity, Get Me out of Here
Kate here, and I’ve decided to come out of the closet to tell you readers that I am a BIG fan of reality TV. I know, I know, some of you are thinking, “Who watches that garbage?” Well, I do. It’s my guilty pleasure. It’s how I relax after a long hard day. And I should probably tell you that sometimes I actually vote. I realize that fact alone is what pushes me over the edge from being a casual viewer, to a reality TV addict. (I should also tell you that as Liz is reading this post, she’s probably shaking her head in dismay, as she cannot relate. She’s probably never even heard of most of the reality shows I watch.) Tonight was the Grand Finale of I’m a Celebrity, Get … Read entire article »

TV Talk – The Bachelorette
New Season of the Bachelor. Jake returns! See which 15 girls made Jake’s first cut. Click here. The Bachelorette Spoiler Alert! I promised myself that I would never again watch The Bachelor or The Bachelorette after last seasons Bachelor fiasco where Jason Mesnick proposed to one girl and then dumped her on live tv and picked the another girl. BUT here I am…sucked into another season with Jillian Harris choosing from 30 eligible bachelors. Tonight’s episode started off with 8 men - Jesse (cute and normal), Robby (way too immature for her), Michael (a break dance instructor…seriously?), Jake (my fav), Wes (cute, but a two-faced slime bucket), Kypton (I like him, but what kind of name is Kypton), Reid (too neurotic), and Tanner (his foot fetish creeps me out). Robby didn’t get a rose after his one-on-one … Read entire article »
