American Idol-The Winner is!

Hooray! I was so resigned to the fact that Adam Lambert was going to win this season's American Idol. After last season's rock dude David Cook winning over my choice of little David Archuletta, I was not happy that once again another rocker dude was going to win. Granted Adam does have an ok voice and could definitely sing in something like "The Rocky Horror Picture Show" or "Little Shop of Horrors" but would he be someone I would want to listen to on my ipod in the car? No! Adam is all about show and theatrics and sticking out that tongue like KISS. I prefer singers that leave that appendage in their mouths to sing. Granted Kris is not the greatest find since Kelly Clarkson or Carrie Underwood, but he does have a quiet potential and clearly showed his would be superstar brilliance when he duo with Keith Urban in "I Want To Kiss a Girl". I was in awe, now why didn't he do that before? Kris Allen showed us that he does have the stuff and I will be listening to what he will do next. As for Adam, fans need not worry, I'm sure they will be able to catch Adam Lambert in the next production of "Phantom of the Opera" coming to a local theater near you!-Single D

The Bachelorette-Jillian

Jillian wasted no time between being rejected by bachelor Jason to turn her own jilted love story into her being the next bachelorette. All I can say is you go girl! Donna and I both agree that she has quite a few hunks to chose from, lucky girl! Oh how I wish I were her! If only! Hunky number one, Kiptyn from my own stomping ground, Encinitas. He looks great except that have you ever met a straight event planner? Hunk number 2, Julian, restaurant owner, looks like he has a lot of money, but does he have any substance? Only time will tell. Juan the contractor and mama's boy from Argentina. Donna doesn't like him, but I think he's cute enough, maybe just the word Argentina makes me want to do the tango with him. Mark the biker from Denver, borderline hunk, can you really be hunkie in spandex? Sasha's cute but isn't that a girl's name? Greg- fitness model, looks like a beefed up Jason, she should get rid of him real fast. Kyle, head of the nerd herd, right up there with Stephen, nice Jewish lawyer from New York. And Wes, he has a number one song in Chihuahua Mexico? And then there's Jake, commercial pilot, hubba, hubba. So many men too little time.

Trucker David gets the first impression rose from Jillian, because his first impression was that his tongue got tied in a knot and he was about to either cry or barf. Hey, what ever works. The men got their competition on, with Mike break dancing. Can white guys break dance? After all the guys sniff each other out and puff out their chest in the ritual male rites of passage, Chris Hanson tells Jillian there's more. Heads whip like deer caught in the headlights. More guys? And with that brings out five more males, much to the disgusted grunting of the herd. These guys come out like they were the party's Chippendale dancers. I expect them to whip off their suits and start dancing in their thongs, sigh, was not to be!

One of the new guys, Tanner takes Jillian out to the pool in hopes that he can sneak a peek at her tooties since apparently he has a foot fetish? Yuck, freak-Jillian one word-run! He probably wears woman's underwear too!

All too soon it's time for the rose ceremony and sadly 10 males will be emasculated and their egos dashed. Well at least she has 30 to chose from.

This season looks like it's going to be a wild ride and from the coming previews looks like some guys are just in it for their own gain. Hopefully Jillian will be able to sift through all the losers and find a gem like Trista did. As I was looking at the bios, I saw Mike, baseball owner camp, among the pictures, didn't notice him during the premeire (I know, I know, how could I not notice him!), hopefully Jillian didn't do something stupid like not giving him a rose! Sigh! Oh Hello! Want my phone number?-Single D

Survivor Tocantins-Finale!

Another satisfying season of Survivor. It started out slow for me when I couldn't decide who I liked until finally there emerged a true Survivor with the likes of Ozzy from Survivor Panama. JT, country boy from Alabama. Finally the emergence of the quirky cast started riveting my attention. I'd watch just to see how much of a fool Coach would make of himself, the Steven Segal of the group, wannabe messiah, dragon slayer, quoter of famous lines. I'd watch just to see if Tyson could kiss himself, or as Joan Rivers said of Clint Black in the Celebrity Apprentice, if Clint walked into a bar, he'd date himself, which would aptly apply to Tyson. So I watched the finale and was not disappointed when JT won. There were a few moments of doubt when I thought he could possibly lose to Stephen, but when Stephen started talking in the Q & A he totally lost the jury's vote by being less than sincere and coming off smarmy and deceitful. You could just see it in the jury's face. JT meanwhile, kept his cool, played on his sincerity, garnering votes from the jury as JT looked like a whipped puppy when Stephen said that he didn't know if he would have taken JT with him to the final two. JT looked like the woman scorned and he played it right into the hands of the jury.

One word Taj, get over it, ok that's three words. What's the difference between third place or fourth place? She was never going to be the final two and she knew it.

Glad JT won, if he hadn't, I'd be tempted to do what my husband always says when the person he doesn't want to win, wins, "I'm never watching this stupid show again!". Well, thankfully I don't have to threaten that! Go JT!!-Single D
