Ya, you just can't make up stuff like that. That was hillarious in such an other wordly way. I have no idea which world because that guy was definitly mmm...shall we say unique???

My fav was the girl from Allentown Pa with the glitter covering 90% of her body. "and if I could legally moon ya, I would" but her a$$ was so skinny, it would not have been a proper moon anyway, just a pale sliver.

I have tried, really tried to watch AI, I just can't do it. (Last time I could make it through an entire episode was the one where Tamyra got voted off.

I can't stand that show.

But I think that might be because I'm not a "reality" TV fan, either.

I didn't watch it for a long, long time -- I'm not a fan of 'public humiliation as entertainment' -- BUT....I figure if you know by now what the potential is for being singled out and ridiculed, and you go on there anyhow, then you're buying into the game.

When I saw her I saidm "Great. Now the whole country is gonna think Allentown (the city/town I go to school in) is full of crazy people!" I mean she thought the song Allentown was by Bon Jovi! Cripes. Then the next day I found out she graduated from a high school in the same school district as the school I graduated in. I promise, we're not crazy here.

Well this show better pick up (Go Patriots!) or I'll have to find something else to watch on Tuesday and Wednesday nights!

Another boring show. I guess tonight I'll be watching UFC Fight Night Live! (was going to anyways but now I won't regret missing AI)

Glad to hear that. We were out playing volleyball last night, and I missed it. I was so mad when I got home...

smatyas · 01-23-2008, 09:55 AM

I may need to get with the times, retire the old VHS, and get a Tivo...

travelgirl · 01-23-2008, 10:08 AM

Hmph. I have dish, and I THOUGHT I had it set to dvr it, but apparently, I didn't.

I hate it when the judges say no and they stand there and argue with them. What do they think? They actually think they can change the judge's minds!

smatyas · 01-24-2008, 10:28 AM

terrible... I am holding on by a thread. I hope next week is better!

I've been watching AI since the first season. I love to sing so I thought a singing competition sounded like a great idea for reality TV. But I don't usually watch the audition rounds -- it's just too painful to me and I feel too embarrassed for people. So I usually wait until the top 24 or whatever and start watching from there. Even then, I DVR all of them so I can ff through the boring parts. But I enjoy the cheese factor. :)

I love AI, but this year I'm hooked on Biggest Loser.

AI usually switches it's night when the 24 are picked, right? :( If not I'll have to invest in DVR - again! I can't miss both!
