The question on everyone's minds tonight is can David and Mary come in first and avoid the 30 minute penalty? But more on that later.
I am annoyed with the Cho brothers. I admire them that they want to play the game with integrity but this isn't Survivor. This is a bloody race and you really need to think of yourself first. They either should have gone for the Fast Forward instead of letting David and Mary get it or stay up there and wait to do the road block. If I was in last place, I would have gone for the Fast Forward, it actually looked pretty exciting to do.
As for the roadblock I would do it. I am not afraid of heights and I am glad to see Kimberly do a road block, since she pretty much has to do and Mary would have done it if they didn't go for the fast forward. Which by the way, it was very convenient for the Fast Forward to be on a leg where Mary and David has to come in first. So of course they win it and come in first.
The detour was interesting and I totally would have done automatic because it was something different and looked kinda of cool. But it looked to hard to get to and the whole manual thing wasn't too bad and it did look faster as trying to attach the jockey to the camel could be difficult especially since the camel for the single moms was giving them attitude.
I am glad that the Cbo brothers came in 5th and I am also glad that Peter and Sarah got eliminated. Big surprise that they are not going to be dating anymore, not!!!! He was too annoying and in a sense she played the victim too much in her confessionals with her woes is me that I have a sucky unsupportive to partner.
Until next week!!!

Amazing Race 10 -October 15, 2006
How did I know that when the Cho brothers played that fake cellphone trick that it was sorta going backfire on them. I knew that Peter would find someone with a cellphone to book reservations too. But, in the end the Cho brothers got a better flight than most teams that is until Peter and Sarah and the beauty queens nabbed an earlier morning flight. I have to say Peter is annoying me in the way he talks about people behind their backs (didn't enjoy his mocking for David and Mary) and his whole sneaky way of finding information, it was so smarmy.
And I thought it was very annoying the way Peter was chewing on that cookie - chew with your mouth close man!!!! Anyways, as for the Detour: Wild Things or Wild Rice, it was obvious what the choice would be , Wild Things -yes it was scary but the crocodiles/alligator was cute with the rubber band around his snout and it seemed easier with the wranglers pretty much doing the hard part - wrestling the beast to ground for us. I don't know why people would choose Wild Rice, it took way too long.
As for the Roadblock, I guess I would have to do it because I am the only one on our team that knows how to drive a stick but that traffic in India makes me nervous. I mean I learned how to drive stick for a family trip to France but I bailed out of doing any driving because European traffic freaked me out but it looked like the driving instructor helped out and was pretty lenient with mistakes made.
Now for the interesting twist, while in past races in a non-elimination where all your money and possessions were taken away never hindered teams, I like this new twist of being marked for elimination. It makes the team have to come in first or they will get a 30 minute penalty and still get eliminated. Will see if Dave and Mary can do it but I think Dave has done all the roadblocks and if that rule still exists where only each team member can perform 6 roadblocks each then Mary has to do the rest of them if they are not eliminated next week. Same goes for Peter and Sarah, Peter has been doing most of them so far so she has to start doing some.
Anyways, until next week

Grey's Anatomy -October 12th, 2006
Morphine Meredith
Even with Meredith all drugged-up and funny on morphine, she was still slightly annoying. I mean do I really care that she has to choose between to unbelieveably hot men that are also nice. I don't but I was sad that she let Finn go but we all knew she would choose Derek, I mean Chris O'Donnell was still a guest star while Patrick Dempsey a star so we knew that would happen. Whether McDreamy is Meredith's one, that remains to be seen but at least she will give it a try. I did find it funny some of the things Meredith was saying while on drugs especially when all her boyfriends (including George) were in the room and her somewhat heartfelt but drugged-up converstation with Addison.
As for poor George, I understand his friends are important to him but so should Callie, if she is his girlfriend. I like that girl and for him to string her a long is not cool in my book. And now she hooked up with McSteamy for (which I hope) is a one-night stand is not good. I want George to wake-up and smell the coffee and realizes he loves Callie. But the season is young so there is hope ye for my favourite couple of the show.
And poor (well not really poor) Izzy -did you see the size of that cheque!!!! I wonder if she will keep it. If it were me, I would not want to because I would feel that I was benefitting from the death of someone I love. But I really never understood Izzy's actions over Denny last season, I thought it very irrationally and she wasn't behaving like Denny's doctor. But that phone message from Denny to his parents was nice and enjoyed that it was his voice ending the episode and not Meredith's
Early I mentioned how Derek and Finn were nice men, McSteamy on the other hand was not. He did not treat his patients or colleagues with respect. But, we will see how his character develops. It doesn't hurt that he sure is nice to look at.
It almost seems splitsville for Burke and Yang, I somehow don't see how these two work as a couple. They are such polar opposites.
Anyways, looks like Izzy is back to work next week.

Amazing Race 10 -October 8, 2006
Happy Thanksgiving everyone!!!!!
I thought it was funny that Kandice and Dustin, who proclaim that they are auditory, thought that the cricket noise was their clue. I laughed out loud. It was an interesting way to get a clue and I thought it was smart of some teams to get their cabbie to listen to the clue but it was important that the cabbie understood English.
So the teams eventually made it to their destination and the faced the road block. This one is all my brother's. He has upper arm strength (after all the gym visits he's been doing in the past) so I would have slowed our team down.
I was busy cooking my turkey dinner so I didn't really get a chance to see how the teams didn't but it seemed that none really had a problem.
But most teams seemed to have the problem when it comes to rowing to do the detour: over or under. Again I was busy cooking so I didn't get a chance to see which looked like the lesser of two evils but the rowing seemed to be a major challenge for all teams because of the wind. But it seemed that once you found the basket line in under that seemed to be the better choice.
Ok how stupid that the beauty queens think they have to row to the pit stop. If they think they are trying to dispell the myth that blondes aren't stupid, they are really not doing a good job.
And I can't believe, either Tom or Terry actually pulled the boat to the junk ship!!!! And after all that, they still got eliminated. I had not feeling towards this team so either way I am ok that they are good but too bad after all that effort they were booted. But to be honest, I was glad the beauty queens didn't get eliminated, sure they are a bit cutthroat (like cutting in line or taking the single moms boat) and they are not that smart but I would like to see an all-female team win. It is about time that happens, so as long as they are still in and the single moms, I am all for it. But of course I still want the Cho bros to win too.
Enjoy your turkey everyone and see ya next week.

Dancing with the Stars -October 4th, 2006
Jerry Springer lives to shake his sexy hips
I am know I've been pretty bad about not consistently posting but I have been busy. But I am really going to make an effort to keep up with my posts.
Now I was disappointed to see Harry Hamlin go last week and really felt bad for his partner Ashley. She is such a sweetheart and felt bad for her that she was saddle with Master P last season.
Anyways, on this week's episode. I am not thrilled with the song choices with some of the dances. Totally couldn't even watch or listen to Sara's Paso Doble because a) they used the Phantom of the Opera, which didn't suit the dance and was crappily sung and b) the dance was overall crappy.
Then Bon Jovi for Vivica's dance. yes when I think of the Paso Doble, Bon Jovi immediately comes to mind!!! Her dance was ok but wasn't that thrilled with it.
Emmitt's was decent but Mario's Paso was smokin' hot. So good and deserved the scores, glad he stayed within the rules this time.
As for the waltzes, I thought Willa's was jerky but not according to the judges, but what do I know, I can't even dance. Joey's waltz was good but really enjoyed Jerry's waltz thought it was sweet and when he hugged his daughter at the end, I got teary-eyed.
And I find Samantha Harris' interview style to be a bit annoying. I don't know, she seems to ask stupid questions or no d'uh questions. Alas, I know that this is Dancing With the Stars and not 60 Minutes but still.
Too bad about Vivica and Nick. She was good and took her departure well.
Next is the Samba or the fruity rumba.

The Amazing Race 10 -October 1st, 2006
Paying respect to Vietnam
You will have to pardon this week's post. I am recovering from a massive allergy attack yesterday that drained me of energy so this post might be short and no peppy.
Zero dollars for the leg of the race and you cannot beg or sell anything. Interesting as some teams didn't seem that good with saving their money.
Now I am all for Duke and Lauren wanting to use a local to help them but picking them up at the airport let alone their flight to help isn't good. They have got have known that she wanted to be dropped of first, she doesn't care that you are on a race (I am told you can't tell people you are on the Amazing Race to get help).
The road block? Well I thought I would be the one doing it since, my brother doesn't like that kind of situation and crowds but seeing how the women were fawning over the guys, I think he would have been better suited than me.
I appreciate Dave's sentiments about Vietnam. I that's it great what he said about experiencing Vietnam differently than his father but still his head should be in the race.
The detour: Fuel or Fowl?
Fuel. It looked easier to do. And Yeah my hot Korean brothers are number one!!!!!
I knew once Phil said you can't ride a motorbike in Vietnam and that you saw Tom and Terry do that you knew they would be penalized. So fromk 2 to 8. That really sucks for them but goes to show you that you need to read your clues carefully.
And too bad for Duke and Lauren. Hopefully, Duke can be understanding of Lauren and not be disappointed in her she because she is gay but I can't say I will miss them. Too many mistakes and they were not careful with their money.
Until next week!
The Amazing Race 10 - September 24th, 2006
Brokeback Mountain
I am reminded of a scene in AR7 when Rob and Amber didn't stop when the brothers truck flipped over. The single moms did the same thing. I understand that it is a competition but I think they could have stopped and given them their jack! But as they said it is a competition but still human compassion would have been nice.
And I am getting a little tired over Sarah using her prosthetic leg to gain sympathy, it is like Charla in AR5 using her short stature to gain sympathy and none of the teams liked it then.
Anyways, some of the horses seem to have a mind of their own and that one Mongolian animal that Peter and Sarah had was crazy.
The Detour: Tear it down or Fill it Up?
Me? I would have chosen fill it up. I think that I and my brother might be able to control an animal. I think I would find Tear it down to be frustrating if I couldn't get it right but I think that my brother might do this one because he is very detailed oriented but who knows, it is a toss up but my gut told me to fill it up.
Bad luck with the cars, especially with my Korean brothers but thankfully they got they car started but it dropped them from 4th to 8th.
The Road Block: Me me me me
I wanna do this one. I love archery, I did it for my birthday a few years ago and I did it when I was in Nottingham so I would have been the natural choice for it. Would I have gotten the target the first try no, but it would have been cool trying.
I am getting tired for the arguing team so I want Rob and Kimberly to go. But too bad about the cheerleaders, I wouldn't mind an all-female team to win it alll so now it is down to the Beauty queens and the single moms.Until next week
Veronica Mars: October 3rd, 2006
New network, new look
I love Veronica Mars, so I am glad that it survived the CW cut. But I hate the new beginning. It sucks - but I guess I'll get used to it.
Loved that this was the second frakin Battlestar Galactica reference in a row (the first appearing on the Gilmore Girls, an hour earlier).
So they are continuing on the serial campus rapist mystery they introduced from last season and they are still doing the mystery per episode and tonight's is who stole Wallace's new roomate's stuff.
Here's a mystery that I would like to get solved is why didn't Veronica go to Stanford? She was accepted and it was assumed she was going to get the Kane Scholarship, so what happened that she has to go to Hearst? Hopefully, that gets resolved soon.
And who doesn't love Mac. I've enjoyed Tina Majorino's performance of Mac ever since I saw her in season one and love Mac's and Veronica' s dynamic partnership. I know that they may not last but there is something about Logan and Veronica being together that I like. She makes him good and that I can dig.
Ok and if you watch this show and the Gilmore Girls on the CW, what is with the Aerie whatever, I totally find that segment annoying. I don't really want to hear a whole bunch of teenage girls opinion about these shows.
Anyways, so happy that Veronica Mars is back.
