This week was pretty crazy, so I spent quite a few hours last night folding laundry and getting caught up on my TV watching.
American Idol
I love Jason Castro, even though his name makes me think of cutting off cow balls. Actually there are quite a few people this season that I think are really great - both Mormons, the Irish girl, and the Australian guy - although I was SUPER excited for him to sing Across the Universe, and then super disappointed when it wasn't that great (granted I was comparing him to Rufus, but still). Syesha drives me crazy and I can't figure out why the judges all seem to like her so much. She's a great example of why an equal number of guys and girls isn't always the best idea - Danny Noriega should take her spot....well, he might actually be more of a girl then she is, so that might work out either way.
LOST
I don't think any of you watch this, but I am so excited that it is finally GREAT again. The first season of Lost is probably my favorite season of any show ever, then 2nd and most of 3rd I only stuck around for because I couldn't give up hope that it would return (plus I love me some Matthew Fox). Thankfully it has returned this season with "flash-forwards" mixed in with the flashbacks to give it a new twist.
Beauty and the Geek
YES, it's back so soon! I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw it on my DVR and it was with great anticipation that I turned it on last night. But wait...what's this?!?! Beauty VS. Geek???? They ruined it! Well I watched it anyway, and it wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be. I think they purposefully picked really sweet girls this season since they knew they'd be competing against the geeks - after the very first competition every girl was crying when they had to decide on 5 guys to send to the elimination room. And I totally have a crush on Tommy, and NOT just because we share the same love for the sweater vest...there's also his ability to remember multi digit numbers after hearing them once. That's sexy*. I also really like Jason, who is this season's hilarious Jewish Brooklynite (yes, there is one every season). I'm not sure if I will love him as much as last season's (Josh), who had the greatest dance move of all time (I call it the Elbow Shake, and Tom and I still do it all the time), but his tag line IS "One Buff Geek".
Eli Stone
I was reluctant to get sucked into this one, mostly because I have way too many other shows that I watch and I am starting to feel guilty about how addicted I am to TV. But even after all aforementioned shows I still had a giant basketful of laundry left to fold, so I turned on last week's episode (Tom watches it and has been telling me non-stop how great it is). At first I didn't even realize the main character was Jonny Lee Miller, what with the American accent and all (apparently I am easily fooled by this - it took me 4 episodes of House to go, "Oh yeah! It's Jeeves!"* I may not be fooled by a pair of glasses a la Lois Lane and Clark Kent, but if Tom all of a sudden starts speaking with an English accent I might wonder where my husband went and why I'm living with an Englishman). Anyway, he is brilliant and hilarious and I love this show. But I've decided that I can't add any new shows unless I give one I already watch the boot - any ideas?
*And by Jeeves, I mean Wooster, but I just can't get that sexy Jeeves out of my mind. |
