Workout - When Reality Gets Too Real

When you enjoy television as much as I do, getting sucked into a show and its characters is a great thing. You want to care about and root for your favorite folks on the small screen. I mean you see them every week, if you didn’t feel at least a little something, then the show’s […]


Survivor: Fiji - Last Ditch Effort Doesn’t Save Alex

So, we are close to the end of the 14th installment of the Survivor series, and the alliance of six (Earl, Stacy, Cassandra, Yau-Man, Boo and Dreamz) seemed determined to stick together. This left only Alex, who once seemed very much in control of the game, quite vulnerable.

As for the singing, overall there were some pretty […]


Dancing with the Stars - 2 Chances to Shine

This week’s Dancing with the Stars had very few surprises. After a waltz and a latin number, the top pairs (Joey/Kym and Laila/Maksim) stayed on top, with both duos receiving multiple 10’s. The lowest score of the evening went to Billy Ray Cyrus and his partner Karina, after two very stiff and slightly embarrassing […]
