Glee Finale

Was not last night's finale of Glee just makes one want to watch it over and over? Last week's episode was just so-so with musical numbers I wasn't really crazy about. Yikes, am I really saying that? But last night's finale was purrrfect! And when they did their tribute to Schuster "To Sir With Love" , I was so there, surrounded in a cloud of nostalgia, seeing Sidney Poitier as teacher Mark Thackery. God I'm so old, I'm like the krypt keeper! (Freaky Friday, the Lilo version). I swear I must have been 5 when I saw To Sir (yeah right!) The final song that Vocal Adrenalin did interspersed with Quinn giving birth was amazing, although I still think they shouldn't have won, since only Jesse St. James sang, so it was a solo and not a group performance. My husband was annoyed with all the cutting shots. Men don't get dramatic effect. But what was touching and brought one tear, just one, was when Sue Sylvester voted for New Dimensions. Still don't get why they lost, wasn't Josh Groban on board with them, saying they had heart? But Sue showed she has some heart, at least for two seconds when she had a total lapse into empathy. Another Sue Sylvester quip: I'm legend it's happened. Yes it has Sue, yes it has!-Single D

The Bachelorette Ali and the Bare Naked Men

That whole BareNaked Ladies filming bachelorette with her guys in various scenes and making it into a music video, yeah right. Lame, lame, lame, but the funniest part once again was the weatherman and his school boy adolescence behavior. Has he never kissed a girl and made them cry? Cry running and screaming. OMG is he still a virgin? Sweaty palms and man crying or in this case, boy crying! Ali had to bolster a weeping weatherman reassuring him it was alright. Endearing for about 2 seconds, then it's gee, does she really want a snotty nose 7- year old?
Roberto seems like a better match as evident with his swarthy confidence and manly strong arms holding Ali up on the high wire and getting the rose on his date. Hubba Bubba! She made the right decision letting Hunter go, there was absolutely no chemistry between them. She didn't even make a move to kiss him, like she does with the guys she likes. She couldn't stop kissing Kirk during the video shoot much to the dismay of Frank who already thinks of her as his girlfriend. I kept wavering last night on whether or not Justin was playing it up or really being earnest. That whole man crying thing is kinda of embarrassing. Sure he walked a smile just to see her smile (isn't there a song like that?), that was very chivalrous and made me think he was serious. But then, at times it seems like a competition for him, to win the prize, be the last man standing, win the belt or whatever wrestlers win. The guys in the house are just as bad as a house full of women instead of divas it's the jock dude attitudes. Next week it's travel to NYC!-Single D
