Celebrity Apprentice-Omarosa Offed

I feel like singing "Ding Dong the witch is dead", but I digress. Trump always has to show the splendor of his lavish life, inviting the contestants to his Trump Tower apartment where it is lined with more gold than Fort Knox. There we are greeted by his wife, Melenia and their son, heir to the Trump bullion, Baron, how appropriate a name and so cute! That in itself a photo op. One thing I have to say for the Donald, his kids, Ivanka and Donald Jr. are a living tribute to the way Trump has raised his children, with good sense, responsibility and morals. Kudos Donald! This weeks challenge is to sell art. The team that sells the most wins. This is where Omarosa says she got fired last time, she was on Apprentice, so she wants to step up to the challenge as Project Manager. Be careful what you wish for. Immediately, Piers pipes up that he will be the PM for his team because he's doing it just for spite and a grudge. Finally, the feud will come to a head, with one of them getting fired.
When they go to look at the art work, Trace said that he didn't know anything about art and that they mostly all looked like a three year old threw up on a canvas. I think I heard Omarosa tell Baldwin that she called four of her biggest ballers that she knows, what does that mean? Piers calls his friend, Gordon Ramsey. I love, love, love him!!! Love Hell's Kitchen!
During the art gallery opening, Omarosa was escorting all the people that came in the door to her side of the gallery. I thought Lennox should have decked her right there. Go ahead and put her out of her misery, please!
I thought for sure Omarosa's team was selling like gang busters until, the solitary money bag that Baldwin called, actually bought pieces from Carol, then it looked like Pier's team was picking up steam.
In the boardroom, who knew the win would be hugh and a devastating blow to the other team. Piers sold a whopping $165,000 worth and poor, poor Omarosa only sold $7,000. Now that's going down in flames. Omarosa couldn't admit defeat as she continued to berate Piers even when he had left the boardroom and called him closeted gay. Trump said that Piers could come back and defend himself, in which he promptly left his war room digs and went into the boardroom. There he planted a big fat smack on top of Trace's head. I thought Trace was going to deck him. He did not like that one bit and Trump had to calm him down, saying it was just a joke. Come on Trace, we know you're not gay! Jeez, so touchy!
In the end, Omarosa was fired, now she can take her sassy self back from whence she came, I'm wondering where that might be, actually?-Single D

Survivor - Tribal Shake-Up & Survival of the Weakest

The tribes got a surprise when Jeff told them to drop their buffs, I just love it when he says that. No merge, just mixing it up a little. No longer are they fans vs faves. Chet and Eliza are last to be picked. No surprise with Chet but I thought Eliza would have been picked over Cirie.
The reward challenge was couples tied to each other with one couple chasing the other. The injuries piled up with Parvati getting a fat lip and Jonathan having to have his knee stitched up. Joel & Chet were partners and Joel kept pulling Chet around like a dead dog on a leash. Lighten up there Joel Ferrigno! I know Chet is useless but he is a person. When Chet let Joel know that he hit his head, Joel responds, "I don't care". Real nice.
At Airai, the faves showed the fans how to build a shelter while at Malakal, Amanda catches a shark which makes Ozzy hot. The immunity challenge was certainly a challenge for the Airai tribe when after taking a huge lead, Malakal catches up and wins.
Back at Airai, Cirie sees the handwriting on the coconut that the weakest players will be picked off one by one and that she will be one of them. Cirie starts a campaign to vote out Joel by saying that Joel really didn't help in the challenge.
Cirie got her way at tribal and Joel is sent packing. Doesn't hurt my feeling one little bit, I can't stand that guy! The fact that he get all mad that he went before Chet is just a bonus! Double D
I knew when they won the chicken, dinner would be in the works. How could they kill a chicken that they named? Hey once you name an animal, in my world it's a pet. I was squeamish just thinking about that poor chicken and his head loped off, but I'm sure Charlie tasted good.
Maybe Ozzy needs some more protein to feed his brain, because he told the camera, he wasn't going to tell anyone that he found the idol and then rushes to tell Amanda, James, and Pavarti. Gee that's keeping it to himself!
I didn't want the tribes to be mixed up, but of course who am I? Fan, viewer, mother, Blogger extraordinaire?
When they met on the mat with Jeff and he announced that the tribes would be mixed up. Ozzy, jungle boy, of course pulls out the tribal leader stone. And darn it, at least James and Ozzy could have been on the same team. But Ozzy choses Joel and ended up with Chet so I guess they cancel each other out in terms of equalness? Erik was starstruck to be on the same tribe as Ozzy-gee did you get his autograph?
The reward challenge was pretty challenging for some, especially for Joel tied to you guess it, Chet. I laughed my head off at this pairing. I loved it how Joel liken him to a ball of goo. Instead of getting rid of him, he's partner with him and he literally dragged him through that maze like some old raggy doll, not caring if he was banging him around. Of course they lost the food challenge of steaks. Yum!
When James went to the others camp, he was appalled at their campsite or lack thereof. He said he was surprised that the team was still alive. I'm wondering why was the campsite so close to the beach, didn't anyone hear of high tide as they tried to cook their steaks. Heavens! Don't lose the darn steaks!
After all that extreme running through the maze, alot of the survivors were pretty banged up, like Chet, Pavarti (fat lip) and Jonathan who took something through the knee, ouch! It was so bad the survivor medics had to be called in to perform Jungle Surgery. Oh I feel faint. That looked like it hurt so much and the camera not once panned away from it. They should had a disclaimer that graphic material might not be suitable for mothers. Jonathan was brave, I would be like get me the h...out of here!
I don't know how Cirie always manages to land feet first, but Ozzy, Joel and Amanda think that Chet should go, he after all just a ball of goo, when Cirie whispers someone else's name and they vote the way she wants them to vote. This time instead of Chet, she wanted Joel gone. She did make the point that Chet is harmless and is not really into the game, but that Joel is really playing hard and needs to go and of course she is in the group of weaker ones, so who does that benefit? Who better to throw doubt toward the incredible hulk. In this case it wasn't the survival of the fittest, but of the weakest as Joel is blindsided and eliminated from the game.-Single D

Project Runway-Fierce Finale

I think this season's designers were really talented and kooky lot. Where would this season have been without , Earth to Eliza, or Miss, you don't look like the tattoo lady, Sweet Pea, or cry me a river, Ricky. It has but ended way too soon. Ah, but I'm getting wistful. Back to the three designers on their way to Fashion Week. It was funny when Tim made his usual appearance to give his last minute critiques, each one secretly hoping and enjoying when Tim would criticize the other's designs. Tim does have a way of instilling doubt and second guessing as evident by our fierce poodle dog, Christian, whom Tim said, you don't seem too fierce right now. This is the first time Christian has been subdue by the tension. Speaking of tension, Jillian was just about to cave in when it was time to chose her models and then had doubts after she had chosen them and called the agency to switch them. Christian told his models "Don't be late, B!tches!" which turn prophetic.
The day of the show, all of Christian's models were late and two were very late. You had to feel for the guy, but then I thought he could always model his clothes, he can walk the runway better than most models.
Michael Kors looked like the Jack Nicholson of the design world. Guest judge was Victoria Beckham. Does that girl ever crack a smile? She always looks so sour. First up on the runway was Jillian. Her collection should have been titled Winter in New York, because it was alot of knits, sweaters and wintry looking stuff. I absolutely loved, loved, loved her collection, but was it spectacular enough to win? I loved all her designs because a real woman could wear them. They were real clothes. I'm not understanding the judges, why can't real clothes ever win the competition? Why does it always have to be over the top and out of this world outlandish? The winners always design clothes that no one could or would wear. Jillian, keep up the work. You will one day make your mark in the design world, because real women would wear your clothes.
Next up Rami's collection. He was my least favorite and I absolutely hated all his colors. I hated all his weird sleeves. His best pieces were the gowns, they were beautiful and definitely could walk the red carpet to an Oscar or something.
Lastly, Christian collection sported a mostly solitary color, black. His collection could have used more color besides the black and tan, but it did have that OMG factor that the judges were looking for. To me it reminded me of "My Fair Lady", you know the rain in Spain stays mainly on the plain. There was one model drowning in a sea of ruffles around the neck and a hugh hat, was she coming or going? The first 6 outfits were different version of the same jacket and pants, with ruffles as a major accent throughout. No ordinary person could wear his clothes, in fact, would anybody want too? Oh yes, I forgot, Victoria Beckham said she wanted to wear them. Yes, I think I remember her in a frock similar to what Christian designed. In fact she said it brought a smile to her face, (see pic), that is the first time I have ever seen her smile! I wonder if her husband knows this?
In the end, I was glad our poodle dog, Christian won, even if no one can wear his clothes. It looked like he needed the money more than Jillian and Rami. It was as he said "Fierce"! It was a night of satisfying TV, with Allison being voted out of Big Brother and Christian winning Project Runway, now I can go to bed!-Single D
The designers are running around last minute to finish their collections. You don't really get a good look at any of the clothes, we don't want to spoil the surprise! Jillian, for once, didn't look like she was hastely putting together an outfit from scratch, after all, she did have 5 months to get it together.
The time came for model casting calls and Jillian had no clue as to what to look for. She mismatched her models, some tall, some not so tall. She starts to panic after picking and calls the agency who basically tells her you can't change. Funny, she seemed OK with it. I guess this is one area of fashion she hasn't picked up on yet.
Christian on the other hand was busy showing his models how to work the runway. I half expected him to don one of his creations and show it himself!
Tim Gunn calls the last gather 'round and everyone is close to tears as he tells the designers how proud he is of them. What a moment! It was so appropriate that they ended the gather 'round with a group hug and happy tears.
Then it's off to fashion week and complete chaos! Christian's models are late and Jillian still had some last minute stitching going on. The only one not pulling his hair out (if he had any) was Rami. He just looked like he was born to this, keeping all cool and collected.

Jillian is up first and had a very diverse collection. Loved her clothes especially the navy blue dress and the formal pant suit. I wasn't so thrilled with the black & white sweater with the sleeves that looked like mop heads. It looked better on but still looked like mop heads.

Rami's collection was, let's say different. I liked his first two outfits, a dress and one of the formals, his model couldn't walk in it. The weaving he did was very nice. I just hope his use of color improves before he starts sewing again.
Last, but certainly not least is our poodle dog Christian. His clothes were all the same, dark jackets with slight variations. His formal dress looked like a giant feather duster. Just think you can be stylish and clean your house at the same time! Who needs a swiffer with a dress like that?
And the winner is........Christian! I don't know what the judges are looking at but I would have preferred Jillian, but Christian could use the money for a bigger apartment. Good luck oh fierce one! Project runway will have a hard time topping this last batch of designers. I'm already looking forward to the next Project runway! Double D

American Idol - 80's Night

Not only is it 80's night but also "what's your most embarrassing moment" night. All of the contestants are supposed to tell their most embarrassing moment. Most of these kids aren't old enough to have had a real embarrassing moment. That, or they didn't tell their real embarrassing moments. Most of them were pretty tame like Ramiele, her moment was in grade school sending a note to a boy she liked and he didn't like her or something like that. Jason's most embarrassing moment was when he was on a date and one of his dreads came off in his hand, ok that would be embarrassing. That should be a clue for you Jason to get rid of those things, you are a good looking guy, if one could get past all that dead looking hair! He did really good this week and the judges thought so too.
David A., the most promising of the bunch didn't deliver on 80's night. He has sounded much better. Maybe it had something to do with his obviously dry lips. Get that boy some Chapstick so he doesn't have to keep licking his lips, it's distracting. His embarrassing moment was when his mother had to finish a song for him because he couldn't remember the lyrics. Just before he went on stage for 80's night, Ryan tells all of America that David was thirsty and had to pee. Now THAT'S an embarrassing moment! Makes mom look pretty good about now, huh David?
Can anyone tell me why Daniel is still on Idol? He sang Tainted Love but sounded more like tainted voice.
David H. had the best, or worst depending on how you look at it, embarrassing moment. He had a photo shoot where, in every picture, he had a huge booger hanging out of his nose. EEEWWW! I still don't think he is the best singer but he did pretty good this week. David Cook I thought was awful but the judges loved him. I guess there is no accounting for taste. Of course my Aussie cutie Michael rocked the house with "Don't forget about me".
The girls did really good this week. 80's music is right up their collective alleys with the exception of Kady & Kristy and, as Simon said, Seyesha was forgetable. Brooke put a country twist on her song while Amanda and Carly rocked on. Double D
I would just like to say that my new favorite for the girls is Carly. Wow, what a big voice. I love that song "I Drove All Night", although I didn't know it was from the eighties. Were there any good songs from that decade? I can't remember a single one and certainly not that one. You can tell that Carly has a heart of gold and radiates a sweetness about her. She certainly is grateful when judges gives her a good rating unlike Amanda Obermeyer. She never shows any emotion. Hey Simon what do you think of her personality? You're quick to say that Kady has no personality when she sings, well what about Amanda who has no personality when she doesn't sing? Personally, I could never listen to a complete cd with just Amanda on it, her voice is like nails on a chalkboard to me. I can't believe the judges love her. Maybe it's different in person?
Oh Danny, keep that flicking tongue in your mouth. Obviously you have dry lips, do as Double D suggest and get thee some Chap Stick! I still love you man, but chose better songs, it's all about song choice. And I knew there was something sleazy about David Hernandez, ex stripper. He just seemed too experienced for this fresh face competition. Hey, didn't idol expel some girls for racy pictures...is there a double standard here?
I was sorry to see Danny Noriega leave the contest. Where am I going to learn the latest text abbreviations, TMTH, too much to handle, love it! I like him, not his voice and I think he would have at least kept it entertaining. Too bad Luke left the group, he sure was the eye candy of the group, love his muscles, maybe he should try modeling next?
I felt bad for Asiah leaving, well at least she got the chance and I'm sure her father is smiling down from heaven on her. Keep smiling girl! Kady, what can I say, you sounded sour the night of the girls singing and your farewell song sounded sour as well. Don't listen to Paula, wearing the hat she stole from some drunk Leprechaun, saying you should pursue singing, you just can't sing. Go to college and get another career, like maybe kindergarten teacher?-Single D

Big Brother-Till Death Do Us Part-Insanity to Sanity

Again in this episode, we find Natalie was on a mission to become one with Matt. Did she make it? More on that later. There is no doubt that Joshuah is a hot head, and in his own words, people think that he's an "atomic bomb" ready to go off. Gee I wonder what gave them that idea? Joshuah doesn't make much waves this episode, as his target is finally on the block. Allison and Ryan, are all but packed and out the door. Natalie'"Matty will you give me a massage later?" Sheila and Adam are amused that they haven't been on the block for three weeks. Watch it guys, the minute those words leaves your mouth you can guarantee you'll be up. Seems everyone has gotten over Sheila and her indiscretion with Allison. Natalie-"Matty, will you give me a massage?" Matt says he hasn't had a good night sleep in eight days, gee I wonder why? He's trying to keep the family jewels under lock and key, but Natalie is in hot pursuit. Can you say stalker?
Adam and Sheila have laid low for awhile, but all is not well in cougarville. I can't even remember what they were arguing about, when Adam calls Sheila a man-hater. That's ok, because Joshuah is the woman-hater so it's even in the house.
The veto challenge is to put together the pieces of a cupid's puzzle, with the girls on a pulley device attached to their partner while the guys run to give them puzzle pieces. I loved it how some of the guys just threw the puzzles on the stage area and then ran back for more pieces. Hey guys, the girls can't reach the pieces when you run back like that, because they go flying in the air. It took some coordination and definitely some communication. This winning was all about who could be the most vocal. Again, I was secretly hoping Ryan and Allison would win, and they almost did, except Ryan could not pull out the last piece. Come on Ryan, how hard could that be?
When Natalie and Matt won, Natalie was so excited, not because they won, but because now, maybe Matt would give her the attention she deserved and that massage. Now maybe Matt would really, really like her for what she did. But alas, that victory feeling was short lived as Matt quickly ducks into the HOH room with Sharon and hides from Natalie. Matt now is so full of himself, as he tells the camera, that he is going to work all the angles and be a friend to everyone and if that includes seducing Sharon so be it. It's just a game to him. Just when you think, oh no, Sharon, don't fall for that, she tells the camera, she's just going to play him along too. I bet they secretly like each other though. Matt is still trying to fend off the affections of Natalie even in bed and tells her, I don't want to get involved, I'm not interested. Natalie tells us in the diary room that Matty really likes her, he just trying to play the game. Duh, didn't you hear what he said? He's not interested in someone that shows her booty and has fake boobs, wow, chalk one up for the men!
As Matt and Natalie pull themselves off the block, Joshuah and Sharon nominate Sheila and Adam to replace them. Just then Voice tells the house when they hear this siren sound everyone should run to the living room immediately. Everyone is surprised at this, what could it mean? More house guest? Someone from the past? That was my guess. But we'll have to wait till later for that. Meanwhile, it seems Matty is holding court and acting like the "Don" of the house as everyone tries to curry his favor. James however is not having any of it and he calls Matt out in front of Adam and Ryan. Matt squirmed and stuttered, but it seem like Adam and Ryan were more embarrassed than upset.
The peek at the personal lives of Matt and Natalie were fun, especially Natalie. We got to see where the bikini barista works and her bikini barista co-workers. I'm wondering if she will work there when she's fifty? They have on display some of her art work and I'm wondering why she doesn't pursue that, because obviously she has talent of the creative kind.
Of course as expected, Allison and Ryan were the ones evicted. The viewers were let in on the secret before the eviction by Julie Chen and I was riveted to the TV. No earthquake, flood or fire could have peeled me away. Right when Allison reached for the door and it didn't open, the siren was waiting for Ryan to turn the handle and then the alarm sounded. Everyone was screaming, especially Allison. She thought she had escaped the public hanging and was so excited.
New bikini for Natalie $25.00, new suitcase for Allison $125.00, the look on Joshuah face during the alarm, priceless! He had that shock lost look when everyone was told to go to the living. There Julie informed them that they will no longer be couples, thank goodness or Big Brother would be over in 2 weeks and that they will be voting for only one person to be evicted, either Ryan or Allison. Allison's look of elation then turned worry as she had to go up against Ryan. Go ahead Allison, we all know you want to throw Ryan under the bus! In the end, sanity prevailed and the house voted Allison to leave.
Another turn of sanity was Ryan winning the HOH, good for him! It's about time something goes his way now that the two shrews are gone. America please don't send Jen back in! Send in Amanda. I want to see what kind of new storms she could brew and oh by the way, Natalie never did get her massage.-Single D

That's Amore

As promised MTV brought back cutie Italian Stallion or in this case Italian puppy Domenico. I don't know if Domenico is doing this for the money or to really find love. Do they ever find love on these things? I must say, MTV did polish him up for this part. The pool of 15 women is an unfortunate mixture of the worst of the worst and if that is a sampling of American girls then it's a shame that we as a culture have raised a generation of airhead bimbos. Where do they find these dredges? I'm sure maybe out of the 15 there are 3 maybe 5 that are there for the right reasons, everyone else just wants to see themselves on TV for their 15 minutes of shameless fame. Domenico starts out this episode introducing his American sidekick, Ashley, his American brother who will help him widdle down the field and act as his Consigliere (a word that even Ashley can't pronounce). When Domenico meets the women, he begins by asking some of them if their boobs are real. One even asked him to touch them because they were. Straight from, hi my name is so and so, to here touch my boob. What class, or in this case crass. Megan appeared to be the nicest so far and told Domenico that their freckles matched, ah isn't that sweet! Finally!
Cut to a commercial where I am upstairs only to return to That's Amore to find Domenico smelling armpits-yuck! Maybe that's the Italian male greeting in Italy, but here it's just plain wrong.
It seems because Domenico is small in size and his personality is so easy going with that characteristic Italian accent, the women don't seem to respect him. They just push and pull him around at will. I just wanted Domenico to say, stop! what's a matta you? Come on Domenico, if you can't control the crowd, how will you ever pick the right one? I think the biggest "B" in the house is Kim, she's already picked a fight with Hunter and has called her some not so nice names. She needs to go back to brothel from whence she came.
I guess the only redeeming value to watching this series, will be the challenges like the spaghetti and meatballs in a pool challenge. Object of the game is to get as many meatballs in your mouth and then transfer them to a bowl. Team that has the most meatballs wins the date. Needless to say, the spaghetti pool turned into a mud..er...spaghetti wrestling match, the girls fighting each other. I think the girls meant to audition for smack down but ended up on this! Now that's what I call a food fight.
That evening Domenico is faced with eliminating 5 girls and as one of them said that's over half! Ok you do the math! Ashley joins Domenico as he contemplates his fate and which ones he should chose. When Domenico ask Ashley what he thinks of Kim, he says she has a nice smile. Sure he's thinking of her smile! For the elimination, instead of a rose ceremony, Domenico hands out large wooden Italian flags-how unromantic! He dismisses Miss stinky armpits (maybe it was her soap he said) and 4 others, as Kim takes a swipe, like a cat, at one of the departing ones, hey there, that's not nice!-Single D

Big Brother-More Lies More Drama

This season's Big Brother should be called the Till Death Do We Lie. Now that Jen and Amanda are gone the torch has been passed to Allison to carry on the tradition of telling Big Lies. Although from her point of view she's never told any lies. She blames Sheila for the lesbian lie, she blames everyone else for the web she weaves. Joshuah now has to turn his attention to someone else now that Amanda is gone from the house and who does he have in his sights-Allison. He says how could Allison make up that lie about being lesbians? It's such an insult to his being gay and all. Joshuah, you really need to lighten up man. The way you rage on, I think the reason why you're gay is that you hate women. I wonder if he gets along with his mom? He's the kind of person that needs to target someone or he's just not happy. Thank you Dr. Phil. Luckily the HOH room is finally ready for Joshuah and Sharon. Good thing too, because Allison is now whining to poor Ryan, "Why didn't you defend me blah blah blah....!" Poor Ryan, he's like a shrew magnet, if there's a shrew he attracts it. In the HOH room it's all about Joshuah and in his goodie basket there's a crown. Well, as I always say, if the crown fits. Joshuah tells Sharon that it is Allison and Ryan that will be voted out this time. I love it how Sheila is somehow whitewashed from the lesbian scandal. I guess everyone forgot that she was the other half of the couple?
Meanwhile, in the dark of night underneath some skimpy sheets, Natalie is still trying to seduce Matt. Matt, I need to cuddle she tells him. He says I don't want to get involved as he turns to kiss her and then turns back and says that's all you get. So there! He's really trying to keep it platonic, maybe he should wear a suit of armor to bed!
The food challenge was called Aspar-Ass-Grab with the ladies dressed in green asparagus suits and the fellows to match their weight in asparagus. Very funny and notice how Joshuah says that Sheila weighs a whopping 131 lbs (who says he doesn't hate women!). At least now the house will get to eat some real food this week.
At the nomination ceremony, Sharon and Joshuah name Ryan and Allison, no surprise there and poor Natalie and Matt. Matt was pissed again and who can blame him. Come Matt, you and Sheila need to win HOH and take control of the game! -Single D With Amanda gone, Joshuah gets a hate on for Allison. He blames his hostility toward her on the fact that she lied about being a lesbian. HELLO, Sheila was part of that lie as well and I don't see you raging at her! He is so childish in his ranting and raving at Allison, calling her a flat chested, ugly "B", that it is actually kind of funny. I still ask, don't they give these people mental stability tests before they let them loose on a show like this? Hopefully Joshuah is just a high strung frustrated queen and not actually dangerous. Good thing Joshuah is HOH because I think he would certainly be on the block to be evicted. As it is, he gets everyone thinking about getting rid of Allison.
Poor Ryan, he already has a pariah for a girlfriend and now he has to put up with Allison. Looks like Ryan is just a magnet for "bad" girls. He always reminds me of Peter DeLuise from 21 Jump Street. What do you think?
Meanwhile, Natalie is still putting the moves on Matt. I give Matt a lot of credit for holding out on Natalie, I didn't think he had it in him. While they were in bed and Natalie suggests cuddling, Matt does give her a kiss and I thought, here we go, Natalie is getting lucky, but no, Matt holds back making Natalie promise not to get emotionally attached to him. Poor Natalie, she got a little peck and squeeze and another brush off. Natalie, as it turns out, is quite the artist. She paints a picture of Joshuah using a paper towel and nail polish. Not a bad talent. If the bikini barrista thing doesn't work out, she can always fall back on drawing characatures of tourists somewhere.
On to the food challenge with asparagus. I love asparagus! The yard was a virtual sea of asparagus which made Natalie not so happy saying how expensive asparagus is and what a waste it was. I didn't hear anybody complaining about what a waste all that dead fish was last week! Anyway, the guys had to guess how much asparagus it takes to weigh the same as their partners. The girls were dressed like asparagus spears, complete with asparagus hats, not at all flattering I must say. The house earns beverages & snacks, fruits & veggies and meats & cheeses. Matt underestimates Natalie's weight and loses carbs & a feast for the house. Of course most everyone complains about this but hey, at least it isn't slop!
Tired of hearing Joshuah going off, Sharon tells him to get everyone, except Ryan & Allison, up to the HOH room for a meeting and to keep it discreet. He may have well got a bull horn to announce the meeting. He tells everyone to come up right in front of Allison & Ryan and also tells those two that they can't attend. Way to keep it on the down low Josh!
Knowing what the not so secret meeting is about, Allison comes up with a plan and goes to Joshuah after the meeting to apologize. She states her case saying she didn't mean to offend anyone with the story and that she has never said anything bad about Joshuah. Basically, lie on lie on lie, etc. Joshuah only half listens and makes Allison think all is well. He and Sharon nominate Allison & Ryan and Matt & Natalie which makes Matt mad. That's OK Matt, I'm sure you will get POV and, when the time comes, you can go after Joshuah. Double D

Millionaire Matchmaker

I am really sorry that I am not able to watch Millionaire Matchmaker on a regular basis. It's a real hoot, my only problem is how many times can we watch selfish millionaire try to find love only to sink into their primal urges? Who knew that Patti was a third generation Matchmaker. I didn't even know that was professional option, let alone something that is handed down from generation to generation. On this episode, we meet Patti's mom and dad. I'm visualizing the matchmaker of old as the Hello Dolly type or of the Fiddler on the Roof type, neither of which Patti or her mother fit. Patti's clients this time are Peter, the Renaissance man and Tai and German (pronounced HerMann). Peter is into marital arts, Qi Ghong and meditation. He is a humanitarian whose main cause is to feed the hungry and has fed over 20, 000 families. He is looking for a professional, mature, intelligent woman, not your actress type. Patti was elated that finally a man with sense and maturity and was looking for someone with the same brain and sensibilities. Unfortunately her next clients come as a pair and want to double date. Patti says they are suffering from Wingman syndrome. When they date, they need a wingman which will definitely not fly with alot of women. At the gathering where Patti has hand picked the ladies to match what her bachelors are looking for, Peter is instantly drawn to a cute, young blond, Cynthia. Patti says to Peter I thought you would prefer the red head as she is a social worker, does yoga, and meditates. No Peter prefer the ditsy blond and tells Patti so. Patti's response to this is the ding dong is the brain center. Ya think? The frat boys, can't decide on their dates so they pick dates for each other. They are just plain immature and silly. I don't even know why they enlisted the help of Patti as apparently they just want to party. Peter takes his date out to dinner. Obviously there is an age difference, he's forty and she's twenty something. When he starts to meditate over his food, Cynthia starts to giggle. Well, I can't blame her here, I would be rolling with hysterics. He then tries to impress her with his humanitarian feeding 20,000 families, to which she replies that she's cutting down on carbs too. Uh dud? When the limo pulls up to Tai and German house, the girls in the limo are treated to a view of the guys shirtless in the window Chippendale style. Erin is not impress whereas C.J. is up to the challenge. Dinner was like a night at the fraternity party. Tai is really immature and made to fast of a move on his date. Needless to say, the dates did not work out and Patti suggest that they try dating solo. Peter was not given the call back from his date, gee go figure! Oh, did I mention also that he a total control freak and that is probably the number one reason why he is not with anyone. Poor Patti, she has her work cut out for her. Glad that she feels she is doing a service of spreading love and joy, I guess someone has to do it!-Single D
