Big Brother - Scream

My husband was reading a message made up of people who watch the 24/7 live feed and it seems that April and Ollie have been going at it like bunnies! Looks like that road got built after all. OK, that's out of the way. Dan gets his assignment, hug Jesse for at least 10 seconds. Of all people! Dan fakes missing his girlfriend complete with crocodile tears and Jesse falls for it hook, line and sinker. They hug and the clock starts ticking. I was cracking up! Even Dan looks at the camera while they are hugging and smiles. Don't you feel cheap Dan?

OMG the drama! Libra is sensing April doesn't trust her. Libra & Keesha start talking which wakes up Jesse who is on his 3rd or 4th nap of the day. He listens to all and runs straight to April and spills. April confronts Libra & Keesha, Keesha storms out, fumes then storms back in. April finally admits it was Jesse that started it then Jerry comes in to tell about Memphis making fun of the girls arguing. He tells Libra to shut up and listen (oh no he didn't) and Renny goes off on him. Renny tell Memphis about Jerry and in he goes. Everybody is going off on everybody, except Dan, he's in the living room reading. Libra & Jesse go at it for a while but all you can hear is each of them saying it's over. If it's over, shut up already! On top of everything, it's Keesha's birthday so everyone goes out to sing a half hearted Happy Birthday. They sing then it's like, cue the crickets, you could hear a pin drop. Then the yelling started again.

POV competition is a slap stick game. Who's idea was it to give hockey sticks to a bunch of people that are screaming at each other? The trick is to get your ball in the POV slot. Now, there are 8 slots on each side, not a hard thing to hit one. As the house guests are eliminated, they get prizes. The prize can be taken away by the next one eliminated. When Jesse gets eliminated he says he didn't know what he was doing up there. Let's see, hit the ball into a slot. What's not to get? He also says he is standing up for the little people. Where did that come from? What little people? Libra's prize was Sheila's leotard from last season so she gives it to Michelle in turn for Michelle's Hawaiian vacation. Michelle totally loses it. Jerry wins POV and doesn't use it.

Keesha gets Dan to say he will vote with them to oust Jesse then he tells Jerry he will vote with them to oust Memphis. Poor Dan. He appeals to America to hook him up because if he votes for Jesse he will be in trouble and if he votes for Memphis he will be in bigger trouble.

April is crediting herself for "saving" Keesha and Libra so they better vote with her. Or what April? You will talk bad about them? Ooooh watch out!

At the vote, we finally see a house divided. America chooses to evict Jesse and out he goes. While he is talking to Julie he looks like he is ready to cry and he still doesn't see his own arrogance.

The HOH competition is questions based on the previous night when America was calling at all hours which kept everyone awake. It comes down to Michelle and Libra with Michelle winning HOH. She says this is for you Jesse. Look out house guests! I expect her to put up Libra, for nothing else that she took her Hawaiian vacation, and Dan for voting out Jesse. We'll see. Double D

I Survived A Japanese Game Show - Finale

It's down to the final four. At least three of them deserve to be there. I still don't think Meaghan should have made it this far but good for her that she did. When they arrive at the studio, they find out that they are playing for themselves since every game will be an elimination.

The first game is called Making New Friends in Japan. The contestants have five tasks to complete. 1-get someone to draw a magic marker mustache on them, 2-get someone to kiss them while another takes their picture, 3-get someone to dress in a Statue of Liberty costume, 4-get a business card and 5-get 3 people to do the "wave". Nothing hard about that!

Donnell starts out by running down the street, arms outstretched yelling "does anybody speak English". He looked so desperate that even the English speaking people were saying no. They all get the mustaches then Justin finds a guy to give him a kiss. I'm sure he would have kissed him on the mouth if it meant $250,000! He gets the kiss but can't get the Liberty costume on his volunteer. Meanwhile, Donnell gets on his knees and begs people to do the wave with him and Meaghan gets business cards from two guys who really think she wants their numbers. I wonder if they're still waiting for her to call. Meaghan gets back to the studio first with Donnell right behind. Justin rounds out third leaving Bilenda to get carried off by the sayonara boys. For a reward, the final 3 get to see their loved ones. Donnell's wife and Justin's girlfriend are a bit on the large side, OK they're fat. It just surprises me because they don't look like what I pictured those two would go for. Meaghan gets to visit with her best friend. As everyone visits with their loved ones, Tony comes in with news. A night on the town maybe or perhaps a day at the spa? No, visit is over and it's time to play the next game. I think they only got about a half hour of visiting. Before they start the next game, Rome asks them what they would do with the money. Donnell says he will pay off his student loans and mortgage, Meaghan says she will help her mother (always a crowd favorite) and Justin says he will take a vacation and buy jewelry for his girlfriend. I was hoping Justin would win up until then. Not that I wouldn't take a vacation with some of the money, but tell me something I want to hear like I'll help orphans or I'll open an animal sanctuary. I don't want to hear that you are going to squander the money on jewelry for your girlfriend who already is sporting a pretty good bling collection! So now I'm cheering for Donnell because I just don't think Meaghan will do it.

The next game is called Squishy Squishy. The players wear sponge suits, soak up water, run through a maze while the opponents try to hit them with spiked balls (not real spikes) then squeeze all the water out of the suits on the other side of the maze. Sounds easier than the last game. As they don their sponge suits, which look like giant sumo wrestlers, Justin says he could pee in his and no one would know. Wouldn't that be cheating? Donnell goes first and gets through the maze twice with a good amount of water. Justin makes it through three times making Donnell nervous. Rome is really cheering for Meaghan telling her to "squeeze until you die"! They reveal the water amounts and Donnell wins the round. Rome falls to his knees in anguish when Meaghan comes in last. Sorry Rome, I don't think you are her type. Sayonara Meaghan. Donnell's wife and Justin's girlfriend join them backstage while they are still in their sponge suits. At least for a few minutes, they are all the same size!

The next day, Donnell has a teary eyed goodbye with mamason who tells him and Justin to do good and come back. They get a limo and champagne on the way to the studio. The limo makes a stop in the middle of Tokyo and Donnell & Justin are greeted by a mob of adoring fans, red carpet and a presentation from the Vice Minister of Foreign Affairs. I guess Majide is no small thing in Japan! Rome also gives them plane tickets to return to Tokyo. After the emotional presentations, it's off to the studio and the final showdown.

With loved ones and mamason in the audience and Rome in a tux, Donnell & Justin exchange man hugs and I love you's then all bets are off. The final game is a combination of all of the games they have played. Starting with a spinning chair (of course) they then ride a trike across a narrow wall, bust the eggs, crawl through a flour pit, climb a sticky wall, eat mocchi balls and swing on a rope to find the fake door. Once through the door, press the buzzer to win. It was pretty darn exciting. Justin takes an early lead but loses it at the sticky wall when he slides off and Donnell catches up. Donnell gets nearly to the top and loses his grip allowing Justin to pass him up. Donnell catches up at the mocchi ball eating but Justin has a bigger appetite and gets his balls down faster. Justin's luck is on and he finds the fake door on the first try and dives for his buzzer leaving him the only American Survivor of a Japanese Game Show! The guys in the booth say, in Japanese, that drinks are on Justin and even judge Bob cracks a smile. Donnell was visibly disappointed but happy for Justin as they, again, exchange man hugs. I felt bad for Donnell but Justin was the better player over all. At least Donnell gets to come back for a well earned vacation and Justin can go add to his girlfriend's jewelry collection. Sayonara! Majide! I'm really going to miss saying that! Double D

Big Brother Endurance Test

Big Brother must not had any good dish this episode since the HOH competition lasted 59 out of the 60 minutes air time. About half way into it, I was like, enough already! How much longer must I see Jesse's veins pop out of his arms? I really wanted Renny to win and show the house she's a force to be reckoned with, then again, we know her mouth is! Did ya noticed she didn't even break a sweat! The HOH competition lasted so long, I was able to clean my house, do the laundry and clip my dog's toenails before a winner was declared, did I mention dye and highlight my hair too? April makes a promise to Michelle that she won't put up Michelle and when Michelle counters with Jesse too? I think at this time both girls were so delirious with fatigue that they would have promised anything and not remember. In April's HOH room, we see that April is a twin, gawd, there's two of them?! Have you noticed how Keesha has morphed into a Renny right before our eyes? The speculation this time was who in addition to Memphis was April going to put up. Luckily our Catholic Boy got the easy task of trying to get Jesse nominated. I didn't think it so odd that Dan would go to April and lobby for Jesse to get eliminated. But I guess Dan has laid so low and quiet and for him to make a choice was like a herd of stampeding buffalo, was that why April was so perplexed? Looked like April had no conflicting dilemmas this time and nominated Memphis and much to Michelle's ire, her muscle head boyfriend, Jesse. -Single D

Did the editors take an episode off? How long can we watch people standing on a ledge. I was in disbelief when Jesse was actually crying before he dropped out. I guess those big muscles are only for show. I too was hoping Renny would hang in there but it wasn't to be and it came down to Michelle, who also was crying, and April. I was cracking up as Dan gave his motivational speeches. After some deal making, Michelle drops out leaving April HOH. I thought geeze they must have been up there all night or something with all the crying they were doing. Wrong! They were up there for 2 hours and some odd minutes. Weak as water!

April notices Keesha and Memphis talking in the sauna room and says she will put up Keesha if she thinks she's "in" with Memphis. All this in front of Renny who goes straight to Keesha with the news. Dan gets his first assignment, get Jesse on the block. He didn't fight too hard but it didn't take much and April puts up Memphis and Jesse. Double D

Jennifer the Next Design Star

It was no surprise that Jennifer was crowned the newest design star of HGTV, but what was really a surprise was the rumored non-appearance of Mikey V., whose chatter on the Internet said he was dis-invited to attend because of some role in a porn movie. Well, ok, maybe he has a past, maybe he did some not so nice things, but come on guys, you're the ones that let him on the show, at least you could have let him end the show. Jeez, what's up with these producers? The finale was pretty much a snore fest combining the crowning with a reunion show. One has to chuckle at Mike S. so in love with his sassy self, "I'm so amazing in my white wife beaters! Are you kidding me"? He's definitely a mama's boy. Now we know why Stephanie was the viewer choice designer, it was her "friends" that got her in as Scotty said! Tracee is still obnoxious as ever, as she and Mike S. proclaim their BFF forever, yeah right. In the end, it was my single vote that got Jennifer crowned. Hey what was up with her laugh? I bet her Chinese zodiac sign is the horse! Matt was the gracious loser or in this case runner up. What a nice guy! Hey isn't Cynthia Rawley too old for hot pants?-Single D --No Mikey V's porn but you can view Mikey V.'s my space page- http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendid=57922350

Ghost Hunters International - Wales

Denbighshire, Wales. The subject of this week's investigation is Bodelwyddan Castle. Originally built as a private residence in the 15th century, the castle was also a girl's school and used as a training center during world war 1. Reports include people seeing a blue lady, a gray lady, two children and a man who apparently doesn't like woman so he pulls their hair and clothes.

The toy room turns into a hot spot for the night. Barry & Brandy go to the toy room and have a sensation that the floor dropped a few feet below them. Later, Dustin feels 3 knocks in the floor right under his feet. Robb asks the spirits if they would knock again and they oblige. Robb then asks if the spirits want them to leave and he gets silence. When asked if they want them to stay, they hear 3 more knocks. It seems the spirits just want some company. During the knocking session, Andy, who is on the floor directly below, sees the door leading to the toy room close on its own.

Andy gets into the crawl space under the sculpture gallery and hears footsteps coming from the gallery. Brandy calls for the teams to give their locations and no one is in the gallery.

In the sculpture gallery, Andy has Brandy sit in the middle of the room to conduct an EVP session while he aims the thermal camera at her. Twice the thermal goes black around Brandy. He could still see her heat signature but everything else is black for about a second. They theorize that this could be a spirit trying to manifest thereby creating a cold spot around her.

The teams gets two EVP's, one in the toy room when Robb comments that it's a good night for an investigation we hear "yeah" and one in the gallery that was a clear "yes" complete with British accent. There was also a strange object captured on the wide spectrum camera. To me, it looked like a tiny UFO and Robb only said it appeared to be emanating light and traveling at a high rate of speed. One of the security cameras shows a pottery figure getting knocked over but the room was locked and no one was there.

After reviewing all of the evidence and personal experiences, Robb declares the castle haunted. Double D
