Gone Country-Image is Everything

Once again we find Maureen trying to wake up Bobby Brown, when she steps in a puddle of pee. Bobby's pee sleepwalking is becoming a real problem. He's just as bad as my dog Henry-see picture. As Mo said, it's like he has to mark his territory. Maureen calls in Carney to help her get Bobby up and show her the puddles when suddenly Bobby shifts in his bed exposing all his glory to Maureen and Carney. They run out of his room like a bunch of screaming school girls, Carney remarking that his thing is like a weapon! Bobby doesn't make an apology for his big hands, big feet and big...! Maureen says she'll never be the same again. Come Mo you want it don't cha? Just get it over with for heaven's sake!

Later that morning we find JR sweeping into the house wearing a fur coat. What's with all that fur JR? I love ya man, but can we give the animals a rest? As JR takes off the fur, we find that he is all decked out country style, his pants has shimmering (probably real) diamond things down the legs. He says in country music image is everything, so he is going to take the cast to the famous clothier to the country stars, Manual, pronounced Man-U-al. Manual is like a country version of "I coulda been a contender!" Brando. Carney is upset, because she is very self conscious of her body image. Inside Manual's, Dee said it looked like Disney exploded in there, so many rhinestones and glitter. Dee has a real problem with the clothes as he usually wears sleeveless t's that has some sort of profanity on them when he's on stage. He doesn't like to feel encumber during his performance, let the sweat all hang out and stuff. Suck it up Dee, wear it once then give it to Goodwill. Diana found a really hot blue dress that looked really great on her and will garner lots votes I'm sure. And of course Bobby Brown decides on the one outfit that has the most bling on it. Julio's outfit makes him look like a matador, hub ba, hub ba!

Back at the ranch there are interviewers waiting for them from Billboard and Country Weekly mags. Julio meets with his song writers and he's not happy about their song for him. The song they have written for him sounded like ragtime meets country, to which Julio states that he would sound like an idiot singing that. Yep, back to the drawing board fellas. It did sound wretched and corny, something about a kiss tasting like strawberries. Mo tells her crew that she sings the best in the bathroom, which is probably where she has done most of her singing. So she makes them move to the bathroom and much to her surprise, they say she sounded great, it's probably all those bath tiles.

As if getting their new outfits, meeting with the interviewers and their songwriters wasn't enough for one day, they next have to learn how to line dance. Julio is so uncoordinated that Sisqo says his line dancing looks like he humping something and that most of his dancing is not done vertical but only horizontally (if you get his drift). Hey Julio don't you know how to do the mambo? Dee looked so awkward, he reminded me of Lurch from the Addams Family, you rang? Sisqo rock the house with his dancing, he was totally amazing.

The day comes to a close with most of the contestants complaining of sudden illnesses. JR has a couple of doctors come to the ranch to make house calls on the cast. Somehow they are all complaining of a mysterious dreaded disease, stage fright! Carney goes into great detail about her phlegm, and says that if she sounds like a frog she won't sing, maybe she should make that a chicken.

By the time they ready for bed, Bobby is already fast asleep. Dee enlist the help of Sisqo and Julio to move his bed from it's location so Bobby Brown won't pee in it. In place of his bed, he places a trash can, toilet paper and a chair, let's see if Brown makes his usual pilgrimage to Dee's bed. Meanwhile, the rest of the cast is all snug in their beds while visions country music wafted through their heads-Single D

Celebrity Apprentice-Goodbye Marilu

As Piers said when he heard that Omarosa was to be switched to the other side and Marilu was to go over to Piers team, "there is a God, it was like switching the devil with Nelson Mandela". Trumps challenge was a QVC product showcase, didn't Apprentice do this one before? Come on producers, let's get some original ideas, because this is quickly becoming boring and stale. The PM's for this task were Marilu and Stephen. At the QVC network, they have to choose from a variety of products for sale. It was slim pickings for product choice, a sweeper, a ladder/dolly, a casserole dish, a divider tray, and a mirror. Immediately, both Marilu and Stephen wanted the ladder/dolly. Before the coin toss, we see Stephen sending an sos to God to win the coin toss, but loses to Marilu. He then says it wasn't meant to be, so he choses the sweeper. It seems Marilu is doing all the right things for this challenge from rehearsing to demostrating the ladder. It was extremely funny when Marilu told the host of QVC, Rick to get on the dolly so she could pull him on it. Instead, he falls flat on his rear! Ouch! Marilu quickly replies, maybe we won't do that. Back at the other camp, while Stephen is talking to one of the QVC people, he asked about payment plans and was told of the EZ pay option. Stephen then acted like the idea of EZ pay was his concept, no Stephen, you just had the smarts to ask about payment plans, don't get a big head. The "talent" for Stephen's camp was Trace. I thought for sure Trace doesn't have that grab you by the seat personality, so he might wash out. But as it turned out he was very endearing to the audience, especially when he demo the sweeper with the nuts and bolts, can that be endearing? He was actually very good, although the edits made him look like he was so nervous. Speaking of nervous, Marilu as frazzled. Once again in manic mode her mouth runeth over. The poor host could barely get a word in edge wise. When Rick tried to ask an audience viewer what she thought of the ladder, Marilu kept answering for her. Marilu take a deep breath and count to ten. Once in the boardroom, we find again that Stephen's team wins by a large margin. Trump ask why no one thought of the EZ pay for their product. When he asked Carol Alt, who apprently has worked for QVC for five years, she said that she never heard of it. What! I barely watch QVC and know that feature on many of their products. I think she must have been lying or maybe she had amnesia or something. When Trump asked for blame, finally, Carol and Lennox said the PM should be responsible as this was Marilu's baby. Marilu tried to blame a sleepy Lennox, come on Marilu, she should have blamed Carol for that pricing oversight, but she didn't and in the end, it was send in the TAXI, Marilu, we'll miss you!-Single D

Pier's charity is Fallen Heros, how can you be mad at a guy who has that charity, Omarosa? When The Donald asks Piers if it's good without Omarosa, he responds "that is yesterday". Good answer! The teams have to make a product pitch on QVC. Both teams want the same thing. I was sure Marilu was going to throw herself on top of the ladder, she loved it that much. After a coin toss, she got it and didn't shut up from then on.

The guys go with the sweeper and Trace the pitch man. Omarosa's only contribution to this whole thing is that she wanted a rehearsal. Stephen says no, go with it, that the man sings in front of millions of people he might not need a rehearsal. I don't know, I think singers rehearse. Trace is worried about his black jacket and how it will show up on TV and generally seems nervous. He comes across nice & calm like the guy next door even mentioning that he has 5 daughters. Let's see how calm he is when they get to be teenagers!

The Donald Jr. pays a visit to Marilu's team where he finds Marilu in full swing and full talking. Does this woman wake up in the morning and insert an IV of caffine? Like Donald Jr. said, "she likes to talk, a lot". Marilu is also the pitch person for the team and talks so much and so fast that even a viewer or the salesman can't get a word in. All she can say about the ladder is "I love it, I love it". I wonder if she is sleeping with one.

Stephen's team wins and Omarosa dodges a bullet again. Marilu and company go to the boardroom where The Donald doesn't take much time to tell Marilu that she talks too much therefore losing the challenge and fires her. Double D

Survivor-Fans Vs Faves-Goodbye Yau-man

This reward challenge promised a Big Battle. For the reward, three things out of the comfort catalog. Are there goose down pillows and a feather mattress in that catalog, because that would be the things I would fight for. With the battle lines drawn, it was like sandbag touchdown, get five bags across the goal and win. Easy and simple and nothing like getting down and dirty. I was surprised there wasn't any ripped clothing and once again Eliza takes a good beating. There were several moments when I was wondering where were James and Oz? It looked like the fans were going to win, but then faves came through once James got back in the scramble when he saw Amanda being pounced on. Go James, forever the gentleman.

It was off to exile island for Kathy again and this time Ami. Were they holding hands, hummm.....With the approaching rain storm, neither one could muster enough energy to look for the hidden immunity idol. The faves won their tarp just in time for the torrential rainstorm and slept dry and cozy. That could not be said for the fans camp, it looked so totally miserable. If I were there, I would be kicking myself, why did I leave my nice warm bed at home?! How badly do you need a million dollars?

For the immunity challenge, it should have been in the bag for the faves. Hold a sack of coconuts, how hard is that especially for our bo-hunk James. Doesn't he have Herculean strength? I thought Ozzy should have been holding with James and not Jonathan. Anyway, the faves lose it to the fans. Aw come on guys, weaklings! You're such a disappointment! I only wish I could like someone on the fans side and I'd be done with you especially what you did to my fave Yau-man.

I'm so mad I could spit nails! Why would anyone want to vote out our sweet Yau-man. Yau-man would not hurt a fly, let alone back stab one of his own. If anything, he's the brain and the alliance is the body, how are they going to function without the brain? It is as James said, first Cirie was the swing vote and now she's running the show. When Parvati, James, Oz and Amanda wooed her and brain washed her into coming to their side she completely took over. She was so steadfast in her wanting Yau-man gone, even when the others protested. I'm thinking Cirie wanted to switch sides because she had it in for Yau-man. What did he ever do to you, eat too much of your food? And of course she was like the Pied Piper and led them down her path. Wake up guys, jeez, have none of you have a brain cell between the four of you? If I were there, I would have suggested that both sides gang up on her and vote her out. That would have been a terrific twist. But noooo! I loved it at Tribal Counsel when Jonathan spoke his mind about Cirie call her out on the carpet. Jonathan was never one to keep it on the down low, at least you know where he's coming from. I think I'm beginning to like him, who knew? Either way, next episode, I'm looking towards the fans, I need some new blood to root for. And to the faves, hope you lose it all! Gee, I'm not bitter-not!-Single D

Good for Mikey. He figured out that Joel is the real muscle head behind the tribe. Mikey chews out Joel about the switch in the vote and Joel pretty much ignores him. Then Joel says he can't wait for the baseball bat to come and hit him up side the head. I can't wait for that baseball bat to crash on Joel's big head! I like Mikey, maybe just because Joel doesn't and I can't stand Joel! He needs to go back to the fire house and swing an axe on a burning building to get rid of some of that anger and frustration. OK, I'm done!

At the faves camp, it's alliance central with everyone still scrambling on who's with who, or is that who's on first? The couple's alliance tries to get Eliza to come over with them. Are they nuts? The last thing you want to do is give Eliza ammunition! Then there is Cirie who seems to think everyone should be catering to her since she is not really in an alliance and would turn out to be a swing vote. As she said, "I don't see anybody doing my laundry". You won't either honey.

The reward challenge came complete with war paint. The fans obviously don't believe in less is more. Several fans were made up to look like skulls, another looked like a Giesha and everyone else just painted their entire face. The faves looked a little more fashionable with the usual stripes. The challenge was pretty physical which brought out "James the Annihilator" when Amanda gets body slammed by Erik. Erik never had a chance after that. The game went back and forth but Jonathan nabbed the last bag for the win. Where was Cirie? Then it was time to send some lucky players off to exile island. Ami & Kathy go skipping off to exile island hand in hand. Realty star struck Kathy must be in heaven to be spending time with her "faves" alone. One other thing, Jeff, I think you are the hottest thing since sliced bread, but please lose those checkered bermuda shorts! Thank you.

After returning to camp, Amanda & Parvati strike a deal with Cirie to take her to the final three if they, in turn, vote out Yau-Man if the time comes. I still can't figure out why Cirie has such a hate on for Yau-Man. What did he do to her? Maybe she see's that if he sticks around, he will win the million. Who knows, but that just sealed her fate with me. Out with Cirie!

The storm that night was brutal. The faves stayed dry with their newly won tarp and the fans were wet, cold and worried about spiders and rats. This isn't some KOA campground kids, deal! I know the picture has nothing to do with this but I just couldn't resist!

The immunity challenge was to hold a basket while the other team tossed coconuts into it. Sounds simple right? Apparently the faves thought so because they put mostly weak players to hold the basket. They had Parvati, Cirie, Jonathan & James holding the basket while Ami, Ozzy & Amanda did the tossing. Seems like they should have turned that around, with the exception of James. Jonathan needed to hold on to the basket and keep his eyes off of Alexis. The faves lose the challenge and return to camp for more deliberations.

The faves are certainly letting Cirie run the show. Jonathan, Ozzy & James see this and try to talk Cirie into voting other than Yau-Man. Cirie will not change her mind. My question is, why keep her around? What is she doing for the tribe? Zilch, zero, nada, bubcus!! Let's send her and Joel home together! OK, I'm done.

In the end Cirie gets her way, cry baby, and Yau-Man is sent packing. I can only hope this tribe comes to their senses and gets rid of Cirie the next time. Double D

Big Brother-Big Drama, Big Lies

All of a sudden, Neil needs to make a hasty departure, leaving very mysteriously, which leaves poor Joshuah without a partner, so he gets the nasty choice of choosing either Sharon or what's his name to come back. He chooses Sharon, the lesser of two evils. Now that Jen and Ryan's secret is out, they can't keep their hands off each other and use the toilet room for a quickie and are discovered much to the chagrin of Parker. Parker then knocks on the door and Ryan says give me 20 seconds! That's all 20 seconds, that is a quickie!

Is there a triangle brewing between Amanda, Parker and Alex? Alex treats Amanda like she's his property objecting to her clothes, her butt hanging out and calling her the not so nice word which begins with an S. This pairing of couples has quickly created some psychological attachments where the partners are already becoming so possessive of each other, thank you Dr. Phil!

I hope Parker didn't believe Matt when he told him that if he won the veto competition he would save Parker and Jen. Since when did they become fast friends? The veto competition was appropriately called "In Sickness or in Health". Large spinning wheels where the women are strapped to while the guys turned the handle to rotate them as quickly as possible until the first one reached 300 or whoever puked first. The random couple, Matt and Natalie were also chosen. I thought for sure, Natalie would never be able to hold on, I mean, she is top heavy. Parker lost steam so fast even with Jen's aggressive egging on. Come on Parker, your life depends on it!! What a woosie! In the end, Matt and Natalie win the veto and decide not to use it.

One word to describe this seasons house, drama, drama, drama, oh, that's three words. I think Amanda is a compulsive liar. She spread lies about each of the house guest which then comes around to bite her big booty. The girl has real problems, oh Dr. Phil, need you here! When she is called out on her lies, there is much screaming and yelling. Someone said give her a halo, to which Chelseia said give her a noose and then Joshuah said a not so nice comment about her dad which totally lead Amanda to a breakdown. Sitting in a bath of cold water, she asks Parker if she has a horse face. No Amanda you do not have a horse face, you just act like a horse's ass. I'm not understanding what made Joshuah go off like that on Amanda, is he just frustrated that his partner left?

Cut to scene two, where we see Jen tell Sheila that Ryan is a racist in a weak attempt to get him voted off. Did she really think that would work? Of course, Sheila tells Ryan and then Ryan confronts Jen. Jen denies ever having called him racist. Hey Jen, what about when he sees the tapes? Tapes don't lie, what will he think then? Nothing I'm sure, he's so completely whipped! As Double D would say "Weak as Water!"

Unfortunately all the lies could not keep Jen and Parker from being voted off. Parker unfortunately became a causality of the war of words. Good riddance Jen and sorry to see you go Parker, just doesn't seem fair.

The HOH winners were Chelseia and James. Hey James, put some pants on, we don't want to see those pink briefs that match your pink mohawk! Now maybe some sense of civility will come into the house with Jen gone. But then again Amanda is still there!-Single D

When Neil has to leave, Joshuah gets to chose a new partner from between Sharon & Jacob. He choses Sharon and everyone welcomes her back with open arms. Did we expect anything else? Amanda comes walking out in her red bikini almost demanding that someone rub her back, yes she is high maintenance alright. When no rushes to take the highly coveted opportunity, Parker decides to help out the damsel in back distress. Alex was not happy about this and, after a while, walks into the sauna room only to discover Amanda returning the favor to Parker.

It must have been Parker day at the house. Jen & Ryan decide to satisfy their "urges" in the toilet when Parker walks in and hears Jen "oo-ooing" and, when he knocks on the door, hears Ryan say "give me 20 seconds". How romantic, 20 seconds in the john!

Everyone is getting paranoid thinking there are more real couples in the house. Didn't you all swear on the Bible? I see that went a long way. Will someone tell James to stop wandering the house in his BVD's?!

Amanda has some big time attention issues. Last time it was standing on the chest in the bedroom for no apparent reason and now it seems like she is trying to make Alex jeolous and then acts surprised when is he and saying he is being mean to her. He did let her have it about how she dresses with her booty all hanging out and walking around like a sl*t. I guess he really does care! He gets all weird later telling Amanda that if they are not going to be physical with each other, they shouldn't be physical with anyone else in the house. Seems to me that just gave Amanda reason to do just that! As Alex & Amanda were going into the HOH bedroom, I was noticing that the "books" in the library are actually wall paper. I guess they really didn't expect these people to do something constructive like read. With this group, the girls probably read Cosmo and guys look at the pictures in Hot Rod magazine. Except Joshuah, who probably reads Cosmo.

Joshuah is chosen as host, or in his case, cheerleader for the veto challenge. He is all into it with the circus barker costume. It was the wheel of love with the guys spinning the girls. It was making me dizzy. I kept waiting for somebody to puke but the girls held their cookies. Matt & Natalie were the first to reach 300 spins and Matt just walks off leaving Natalie still spinning. Nice guy Matt.

I missed the first 5 minutes of the next episode so I still don't know what triggered everyone to jump on Amanda. Joshuah was doing a good job stirring things up when someone mentioned giving Amanda a noose and all got real quiet. I'm thinking Joshuah may have just put a rather large target on himself so Sharon may have to do some damage control.

Jen tells Shiela that Ryan is racist, then says she didn't say it, cue flashback showing her talking to Shiela saying exactly that. First she says she will do anything to win including trashing Ryan then turns around and says her relationship with Ryan is more important than the game. Ah, youth!

In the diary room, James & Chelsia say the reason they want to evict Parker & Jen is because Parker turns the light on at night. Now there's a reason. I guess the fact that Jen is a huge liar is just a bonus. All of the couples agree on how they are going to vote, except for Adam & Shiela. I think if Adam says the sun is out, Shiela would say it was midnight. So we say adios to Jen & Parker.

At the HOH challenge, did anyone hear the instructions. Whatever you vote for WILL happen! So now they will have no hot water, no washing machine and no drinking cups. They did vote for a margarita pary. That will be interesting with no drinking cups! Double D

American Idol-12 guys, 12 girls

It's the guys night to shine as the 12 guys go on stage to sing 60's music. Ok, I hate to admit it, I'm a music dinasour, I love 60's music, motown, English invasion, rock, Elvis, what's not to love. I will lay bet that in a year or two, will any of us remember the music of today? And of couse since I love this music so much, all of it will sound like music to my ears. I can barely remember what the guys sang, but I do remember what Chikezie wore. Chikezie, dude, looks like my cousin Vinny is missing his suit. Simon absoluted hated it, which was why he didn't give you a good critique, because he was distracted. But orange, after that I was craving a tangerine. That suit distracted me so much, that I really couldn't concentrate on the song. I only remember it starting out kinda rough on the low notes, but ending up ok. You seem nice enough, now go out a buy yourself some decent duds. Colton on the other hand is not about the clothes but thinks he looks like Ellen Degeneres, and I'll have to agree. Maybe they're twins separated at birth? Hey Ellen, you need this guy on your show!

David Cook (not pictured here) sang "Happy Together" which is one of my favorite songs, maybe it was just my love for that song, but I loved it. Paula kept tripping over herself and running words together that just didn't make any sense. Oh groan, I think she's drunk. Either that or she had her hair pressed to close to her head. David Y and his "Moon River" rendition reminded me of the next Michael Buble. Love HIM! Love the song. I get so whistful when I hear that song, the vision of Audrey Hepburn in a trench coat in the pouring rain, calling "Cat, Cat!" Ah they just don't make movies like that anymore.

And now for the most horrid selection of the group, Danny doing Elvis, it was so awful I can't even remember which Elvis song he butchered, it was, Jailhouse Rock? Come on, that song was just too masculine for you. Sorry kid, but you're alittle effiminate I think you should get together with Colton, you'd make a cute pair.

Luke looked very cute, but his singing was terrible. I told my husband that he can always go back to being a carpenter, which is a noble job but he said he was a carpet cleaner? Carpenter-carpet cleaner, I can see where I got confused.

And what was up with that Leif Garrett character-singing Neil Sedeka? It was such an odd pairing! What a bad song choice. He has the look of a skateboarder dude and then chooses such a bubble gum song. Weird! Another odd choice of song was Dreadlock Jason and his strumming guitar. "What a Day for A DayDream", I can't believe the judges loved him! First of all, I hate the hair, no offense, but it just looks so dirty and heavy, how do you wash something like that? As my mother would say, too bad, he has such pretty eyes. He tries to be hip with those dreads, but comes off too vanilla. He better wake up from his daydream and cut those dreads loose.

I think the best guy of the evening was my favorite front runner to win Idol, David Archuleta. What a voice, so large for such a young kid. He looks so innocent and fresh and like Ryan said can I adopt him?

The girls on the second night did not fare any better. Almost all of them had a sever case of the nerves. First up, Kristie Lee Cook, can we drop the middle name, so country bumpkin and she sold her prize horse to audition. Let's hope she never has kids or something! Her "Rescue Me" rendition reminded me of Kathy Lee Gifford, well they both have the Lee in common.

The judges loved the rock and roll nurse Amanda. I can't stand her singing. Mostly shouting and were there any words to that song she sang, it only had one line "Please Don't Go" -one word-NOISE.

Brooke the nanny sang "Happy Together". She's very odd, shouldn't she be protesting somewhere carrying a peta sign and eating something vegan? Kady looked cross eyed, Alaina is young, Amy was flat (singing tone!) and AlexAndrea, yes emphasis on Andrea was good, emphasis on good.

But my favorite girl of the evening was Ramiele, no, not because she's Asian (Filpino) but because she has an awesome voice! The only thing is loose the Flipino style comb over, I think it's the latest look for Flipinos. When my daughter came in sporting that hair style with that ridiculous part, her best friend is Flipino, I had to put my foot down. Today the hair, tomorrow the skirt lenght, heavens! All in all, the talent is pretty even amongst the guys and girls this season, but I think a guy is going to win it.

Elimination night-the group as a whole singing together sounded fantastic, unfortunately, four are to be axed from the show. Right off the bat, our "Leif" Garrett is singled out and chopped, surprising everyone. He needed to go, don't think he has enough star power to keep them coming back. Ryan then singles out Amy, who even in her farewell song, sounded awful. Amy I don't think singing is for you. Hope you have college lined up. When it was down to Joanna and Amanda, the rock n roll nurse, I was so hoping the rocker would go home, how many ways can she sing Janis Joplin? But it was Joanna that left, unfortunately I think a vote casted on appearance. The single most surprising cut of the evening was Colton. He looked fantastic, quite a change in appearance with his hair combed back and wearing a suit, and he sounded amazing, so I am disappointed to see him leave. Simon said he shouldn't pursue a career in singing, but I think he would be perfect in "Jersey Boys". Colton, you do have a stage presence, think Broadway, you might get somewhere after all.-Single D

I was SO loving the 60's songs. Riding my bike with my little AM radio hanging off the handle bars and, later, the 8 track tape player, sorry got carried away there for a minute. All I saw this week was the guys and most of them sounded like lounge singers. I did like the spin on Midnight Hour. David C did pretty good on So Happy Together, like Randy said, he rocked it out. Another would be lounge singer Jason, didn't do bad on Moon River but I would love to hear him do a rock song. Robbie did 3 Dog Night proud singing One. David A, what can I say? So young, so talented and a looker to boot. I'm sure we will see a lot of him. Danny and Elvis should not be mentioned anywhere together in anything. He looks too much like a girl, good thing he got rid of that ring in his lip. And what was Paula rambling on about how his voice has colors. Colors?! Maybe she took 60's night a little too seriously and was smoking a little something before the show. They saved the best for last Aussie cutie Michael. He can light my fire anytime! He is my pick to win. I just want to keep around to look at! Looks like the front runners for the guys will be Robbie, David A and Michael. Due to a VHS malfunction, I didn't get to see girls this week hopefully everything will work better this week. Until next time! Double D

Big Brother-Season 9-Uncut & Uncensored

When the houseguest saw their pictures on the memory wall, who do you think said that her booty looks cuter than her face and what guy said he's a handsome man? You guessed it, Amanda and Matt. Amanda is obsessed with her butt. Jen created quite the controversy when she said that her picture was first because she was going to win. Jeez, you'd think she said throw your first borns under the bus the way everyone was acting. I was like, what did she say that offended everyone, but of course I don't have tivo so I couldn't do an instant replay. After that small crisis was over, we find Amanda telling us the story of how her father died. So sad and maybe I'll excuse her obsession.

Allison is still grumbling about Ryan being attached to Jen. She was hoping there would be a fire between her and Ryan. She totally reminds me of Frances McDormand (Fargo) except without the Minn. accent. Because Allison is such a loose cannon, Parker suggest that they should make a preemptive strike and tell everyone that Jen and Ryan are a couple, mistake number three. If you've forgotten let me refresh your memory; mistake number one was Jen telling Parker that she was with Ryan and mistake number two was when Ryan told Allison he was with Jen. Now they want to make mistake number three, tell everyone! Jen and Ryan start packing those bags! So when they tell everyone in the house their secret, it was not warmly received, ya think? And Allison acted like the damsel in distress, poor me, look what they made me do, keep their wretched secret! The HOH couple then calls a pow-wow to swear on the Bible that there were no more couples in the house. Oh please, do we trust any of these people? It seems that once inside the Big Brother house, all sense of rationale, saneness and decorum flies out the window, check your honesty at the door!

As an aside, this has nothing to do with the drama unfolding, word gets out that Adam is also known as the "hooded warrior"-icky!! It is here I run screaming into the other room! TMI! TMI! It was really funny when Shelia said that not only does she get stuck with the strangest one, but also gets the one that is not, you know what...! Poor Sheila, she got the prize! Anyway, when Allison asked Jen why they told everyone, Jen practically jumped down Allison's throat saying that you were going to tell everyone anyway! So there, take them apples! I thought Jen's reactions was alittle pitbullish-down girl! She really has control issues, and I loved it when she said that if it's between her or Ryan going home, it better be Ryan-what a gal!

I didn't quite understand the lesbo story concoted by Sheila and Allison, which also blossomed into we also have a son! What was that for, more drama? It was no surpise when the HOH couple put up Ryan and Jen-just too bad for their passengers, Parker, not so much Allison. Oh well, there's the veto and the thought that anything could happen in the Big Brother house. -Single D

Jen put a huge target on her back after telling everyone her picture is first because she's going to win. Can't anyone take a joke? Then we switch over to Allison trashing Jen to Ryan. Allison, that is his girlfriend did you think he was going to say yes you're right she's terrible and you're the one for me? Cue romantic music and a sunset. She needs a visit from the reality fairy!

Then we have Amanda laying some heavy duty personal stuff on everyone. I feel bad about her dad and all, but that just doesn't seem like something to bring up to people you have only known for about 12 hours. With all that drama going on, somehow it comes out that Adam is "uncut". That just has a dirty ring to it, uncut, kind of like unclean or something. Word spreads like wildfire and Jen decides she wants to see it since she has never seen a "hooded warrior" before (their words, not mine). Apparently Adam obliges Jen so now she has seen one. Now there's something to write home about!

While Allison continues her rampage against Jen, we see Matt, Alex, Amanda & Natalie form an alliance. That is exactly what Jen, Parker, Ryan & Allison should have done, big dummies. But no, Jen decides to one up Allison and get the secret out before she could do it. Of course, Allison plays all innocent saying she would never have told anyone, like we believe that! So now you know Jen & Ryan will be picked off one after the other.

Shiela finds a friend in Allison. They can both play their poor me cards with each other, lord knows no one else is listening. During one of their b!tch sessions, Shiela says she is going gay and they come up with a story that they are lesbian lovers. Watch it ladies, you already swore on the Bible that there were no more couples in the house! Their lesbo story distracts them for awhile but it's not long before Shiela is outside complaining about Adam to Parker. While that is going on, we see pretty boy Matt in the background not so gracefully fall out of the hammock. Shiela keeps right on complaining to a shell shocked looking Parker only giving Matt a quick glance. Adam, who has been minding his own business, starts getting yelled at by Shiela. When he stands up for himself, they get into it sending Shiela running into the house and throwing herself on the bed to cry her eyes out.

Surprise, surprise, Amanda & Alex nominate Jen & Parker and Ryan & Allison for eviction. We'll see what happens next time. Maybe Matt will figure out that hammock by then! Double D

UFO Hunters - Alien Abductions

It all started in 1961 with Betty & Barney Hill when they were abducted by aliens in New Hampshire. The team goes to New Hampshire to interview the Hill's niece, Cathy. As Cathy recounts the Hill's story, she takes them to the spot where the abduction occured. Cathy also still has the dress that Betty wore that night. The team gets two samples of the dress to do some testing after hearing that the dress had been covered with a pink powder after the abduction. Apparently Betty never had the dress cleaned, yuk! The tests came back inconclusive showing a protien that was not alien in nature. The only thing that is still unexplained is the fact that Betty drew a star map showing where the aliens were from. In 1972 a star system that matched Betty's map was discovered. Fast forward to present day and Jeff. Jeff was diagnosed with heavy metal poisoning about four years ago. A recent xray showed a piece of metal in his upper thigh. He called the UFO hunters for help. The team tests the metal which was still in Jeff's leg and found that it was emitting rado frequencies as well as putting off high electromagnetic fields. The object was removed and the radio frequencies stopped as soon as it was out of Jeff's body. Under the microscope, the object looked like a tiny meteorite. After further testing it was found the object was made mainly of iron. The conclusion - one team member says the object was nothing more than an iron pellet while another team member says it is possible alien n nature. Double D

Ghost Hunters International - Slovakia & Germany

This week the team goes to Orasvy Hrad, Slovakia to Orava Castle. This was the location of the silent vampire movie Nosferatu made in 1932. I did see that movie, it was creepy and no, I didn't see it first run! The castle is dated from the 13th century and is said to be haunted by a lady in black, a lady in white wedding clothes and an arch bishop is supposedly buried somewhere in the walls.

Andy & Robb go into the museum and hear a door handle rattle. They check it out with the thermal camera and register a heat signature on the handle and the key hole. Further investigation shows that no one could have been on the other side of the door without them seeing them since it opened to the outside and the only way in or out was a room at the top of the stairs.

Brian & Barry go to the citadel, where the lady in white is seen, and keep hitting their shins on low benches scattered around the room. Barry askes for a sign of the spirits presence and askes them to move something. Maybe he should ask them to move those benches. Brian sees a few shadows and Barry gets his arm squeezed.

Andy & Robb go to the citadel next and they too get attacked by the benches. They catch something on the thermal cam which turns out to be a reflection but was exciting at the moment.

Brian next takes Shannon to the museum. Brian is all fired up and wanting something to happen and Shannon is scarred, big surprise. Brian tells her to get over it "you are a ghost hunter!" and "darkness is your friend". As Brian tries to coax out a spirit, Shannon pulls out her rosary, I wonder if she borrowed Donna's. They see a lot of shadows while Shannon freaks out.

Donna's turn in the museum and she gets her jacket tugged and gets a hand in her face which pisses her off. The place then comes alive (or dead) with shadows running around all over the room.

Barry & Andy head up to the citadel again where we find out there are 1462 steps much to Barry's discomfort.

The findings - a lot of personal experiences and a few EVP's. One EVP is a response to Donna saying that Barry is good the EVP catches "I know". Another is the name "Dohzon" which is the name of the husband of the white lady. The last was in response to Robb asking if the spirits wanted them to stay there and they get "Nyet", Russian for no. Robb says there is definitely paranormal activity.

On to Trechtingshausen Germany and Reichenstein Castle. This castle was built in the 11th century and is said to be haunted by a headless ghost.

In the ancestor's room, Donna is taking pictures from the balconey and Brian trys to provoke the spirits. Donna sees a white mist floating around the room which Brian walks through several times and Andy gets tapped on his shoulder.

Shannon & Donna go into Olga's bedroom where Donna smells the faint scent of perfume.

This castle was pretty boring. The team doesn't get any evidence except for the personal experiences. Robb pronounces the castle as not haunted. Double D
