Something strange is happening this year in television…specifically reality television. For the first time in forever, my favorite contestants are making it to the finals and winning. Typically I have my favorites which I route for throughout the season and they tend to get close to the end but never really make it. That has […]
THE LOSERS Well, stereotypes certainly took a beating this year as the nerdy Asian brains took the prize, the deaf kid made the finals, the short guys triumphed at every physical challenge and the cheerleaders and flight attendants made fewer mental mistakes than the Harvard elite. That said, I’m going to call every school but […]
Why Can’t Anyone on The Amazing Race Swim? This week they had to endure a foot massage and then swim a 400m relay in a clean, standard length pool- explain to me why this is so hard!
Why invoke Forrest Gump when talking about the Amazing Race? Because I am about set to proclaim this the season of the underdog.

I’ve always watched them (the residual effects of being 14 at exactly the wrong time) and have comforted myself with the reassurance that I’m allowed […]
Alright, I’m just going to come right out and say it: the hillbillies are not the dumbest Amazing Racers of the season. Sure they could barely walk straight and she spent more time blubbering than a four year old, but Steve and Linda exited The Amazing Race this week with words of impressive perspective. Meanwhile, […]
What I love this week…. Maria Schneider. Big Band is back people! Slings & Arrows Season 2. Particularly the Romeo & Juliet stuff. Yvonne Strahovski on Chuck. Proving week after week that Buffy was really kind of a lame character afterall on the grand scale of hot blond super crime fighters. The fact that it’s […]
