    Elizabeth Gilbert: Eat, Pray, Love
    I have finished this book and found it over indulgent and not really all that interesting. I felt she missed the boat on many occassions. I know little about the author but this read like a clumsy first book to me. I could have done without the sex stuff, it added nothing and seemed creepy. I did not love any of the characters but felt like I really wanted to. It left me unsatisfied and not in a good way. (**)

Friday Reality Check (on Tuesday)

I am a reality show junkie. This is how I feel about the shows from last week, and the week before since I skipped one.

Make Me a Supermodel

I really enjoyed this show, I don't care much for Nikki Taylor as a judge, she has no personality. I mean I like her and all but she is boring. I don't think they need to go as far as Janice Dickinson but maybe there is an in between? I like all of the finalists so it doesn't matter to me who wins.

Survivor: Fans vs Favorites

Gah, so frustrating. I would love to see Ozzie and James as the final two

American Idol 9

So glad Amanda was booted, America got it right. I liked her but she made it pretty clear she was only there for self promotion and had no intention of trying to win. Archuleta was a little better this week. I guess David Cook is my favorite right now.

Big Brother 9: til Death

James is an ass, I can't wait for Chelsea to get off the show and find out he is a gay porn star. Haaahahaha. Okay so what really chaps my ass about these two is that they are playing out of spite. That is no way to win the game. I surely hope James goes next, I can't stand to look at that completely stupid bow tie tattoo another day.

Natalie is my hero, I know she is crazy but I like her spirit. Her and Baller as the final two LOL! I am looking forward to seeing Evel Dick, I just hope he doesn't bring skeletor with him.

Biggest Loser: Couples

Yawn.

America's Next Top Model

Still not crazy about this season

The Bachelor

He is too cute for any of those girls. He should be with me. Wait, I already have a man, never mind.

I know Lost is not a reality show but I am seriously crazy about it as well. Can you tell I have no life? I am leaving soon for the Netherlands, and I think it is absurd that you cannot watch online unless you live in the US. I mean yeah, there are places I can go to see the shows and the Dutchman can certainly...well never mind lol... but it seems unfair. I guess it is because of advertising.

Friday Reality Check

I am a reality show junkie. This is how I feel about the shows from last week.

Project Runway: Finale

I thought Jillian's collection was way better than Rami's. His reminded me of the stuff you get in the cheap stores in Holland, stuff that you look at and think huh, that is interesting but I would never wear it. I thought Jillian's was ready to go into Neimans or Nordstroms. I would have worn pretty much every piece she had, so yeah it was very commercial and wearable. Then there was Christian, oh my. His collection was fierce. I could see that Victoria really loved it, it was very much her style but I have to agree that only a size minus 0 could pull it off. I think that he did deserve to win but honestly I liked Chris' collection more, minus the hair. It was the hair that killed him, it is almost like he sabotaged himself on purpose.

Survivor: Fans vs Favorites

Wow, what a stupid, stupid mistake. I think Ozzy is certainly going to come to regret that choice. Cirie will vote him off next. What a dumbass. He had all the time in the world to get rid of Joel, she said Joel didn't help them in the challenges, well neither did she so why not just vote her off? 

Big Brother 9: til Death

Seriously, I am not in love with anyone on this show. I was sorta liking red mohawk guy until I was told he does gay porn. ew. Who does porn? I mean come on, it doesn't pay enough to make it worth it. No, I am not going to tell you how I know that.

Biggest Loser: Couples

I am so over this group of people, maybe it came too fast after the last one, but all this man-crying is just too much. Suck it up already or at least edit that shit out, I don't care about all of that drama, that is not why I watch the show. I want to turn it off feeling insipred and positive, not like I want to go kill myself. It is depressing to see all that hate and backstabbing like there has been the last two times.

At this point I only watch to get tips from Jillian and Bob.

American Idol 9

Thank God Danny Noriega is gone. You know, the contestants need to be a little bit grateful, I mean to be so disrespectful of Simon is uncalled for. Yes he is an ass but so what, he knows what he is talking about and he earned his spot. If he says you suck then you do. I am also over David Archuleta, he is a little too cocky for his level also. I love all the boys and I love Amanda Overmyer and Carly Smithson, can't stand the rest of the girls.

America's Next Top Model

I don't have a favorite yet.

Dancing With the Stars

Last night the Cheeta Girl Sabrina Bryan was voted off. Good. I am glad, I think she is a good dancer and I wish her well but she needed to go, this show is supposed to be for people who don'tJenniegarth_2 dance and it is completely unfair for a professional dancer to be on there. Okay, maybe she is not a ballroom dancer but the dances she was doing were not ballroom anyway, it wasn't pretty and I did not enjoy seeing her jerking all over the stage. It is not what I watch the show to see. I want to see a complete dork like Mark Cuban or Marie Osmond or a passionate person like Cameron or Jane or Helio. When you hear Mel B say that they rehearsed for 6 hours it makes me want her to go also. I am actually rooting for Jennie Garth. Why? Well because she is Kelly of course.
