    The Apprentice 3

    Tell me you just didnt say that! I was thinking that too. The overall "look" is about the same. But in terms of features, Erin doesn't have that giant beak, and overall has a "softer" face that makes her look, you know, cute. - Angie and Audrey rule it. Kristen needs to go to the boardroom and play The Donald's twisted game. - I guess Erin went to masturbate? - And... Bren has a Horshack laugh? Why am I not surprised?

    The Amazing Race 6

    I don't think they'll be dragging 2 brats around. I think that it's 4 people with a preexisting relationship. So hopefully, they'll have something like "Maggie / Rocko / Silvia / Joe - Swingers"...

    Astonishing X-Men

    Oh God, whom do we have to thank for THAT pointless resurrection? Um, who do you think? Hint: It's not Whedon, Austen, Milligan, Hines, Bedard, Weir, DeFillipis, David, Nicieza, Lobdell, Calafiore or any other X-writer on a "minor" title.

    The Amazing Race 6

    I thought Rebecca was joking/being sarcastic. Yes, that was a joke. Rebecca felt left out of all the loving and living together and such... Apparently the pizza at Gino's East is a deep dish where the sauce is layered on top of the cheese, and the sauce is quite chunky. I dunno if it's difficult to eat, but I'd like to try...

    Numb3rs

    I'm enjoying it, but I do agree that it's requires more thinking than your regular procedural show. It's probably what CTU is like on a regular day. I am, however, disappointed that Sabrina Lloyd isn't as cute as she was on Sliders.

    Paramount releasing Classic Nickelodeon on DVD!

    Help me out here. Was Peter David a writer and/or creator of Space Cases? And were the Black Power Ranger and Nicole de Boer on the show?

    The Amazing Race 6

    Wow...no taxis on this Race. How can you fit seven people in one cab? I'm guessing tons of self-driving with luxury SUVs. Screw that. Smart Cars for everyone!!

    LOST

    Dude, they only fought twice. And I don't think there will be a 3rd one. Better question: Why kill Steve? Why not keep that running joke going and kill a Castaway we don't know about? It's not like we've invested THAT much time into Steve and Scott...

    The Amazing Race 6

    Looking at the photos for the next Race, it looks like they've hit many of their cliche teams. We've got an Alpha Male team, the Token Old Couple, the Exes, an engaged couple (Romber), a Mother-Son team, a Token Black team, a gay couple (where I can't tell who's the pitcher and who's the catcher), a Big Guy team, a dating couple (the POW guy and his beauty queen gf), and a Hot Chick team. The only one that doesn't fit an existing Race cliche are the hippie chicks (who I already don't like). BTW, did anyone hear about TAR8 being teams of FOUR? That's gonna make some travel agents VERY happy...

    Fox to "Cut Down" Arrested Development

    Jimmy Kimmel's still around. Don't think Survivor counts.

    LOST

    I was thinking that Sawyer had slid into the "cool heel" role, but based on next week's teaser, I could be wrong. That's assuming the teaser people aren't just fucking with us, as they're wont to do (I think it's in their union contract)... Well, there's Kate, but there's that whole convict thing that Jack is probably still wary of. So why not give it to the guy who apparently shoots just slightly better than a stormtrooper?

    Title for Bond 21 announced

    You're probably right. I'm not exactly an accent guru. Anyways, the rhyming slang was another reason why I thought it was some sort of in-joke. I mean, why throw it in and then go to the trouble of explaining it? Remember, this is the same movie where EVERYONE understood Chinese, and the Chinese guy understands English perfectly.

    I'd say Amber is about Kendra level.

    What is it with these fucking rich people shows?

    Sadly, MTV just gives people what they want to see. They're catering to a population that reads papers and watch television just to see what these A-Z level celebs do. Thing is, people's fascination with stars has been around forever. Only thing is, in this day and age, it's everywhere, whereas back when television first came about, you only had shows like Ed Sullivan to get your celebrity fix.

    Not true. They love them some American Idol.

    Well, she may not remember Ethan, but having a half-crazed muthafuckin killing machine after you would scare anyone...

    Fox to "Cut Down" Arrested Development

    Online petitions generally don't work for TV shows. You're probably better off contacting your local Fox station...

    Roger Moore was probably the only Bond to be English. Connery's a Brit, and I suppose Dalton and Lazenby are as well, but I think Brosnan's Irish.

    The Amazing Race 6

    OK, this assumes that you have a basic idea of how Survivor works. If not, here it is in a nutshell: - Two (or three) tribes start out - They participate in reward and immunity challenges - The tribe that loses the immunity challenge must vote a member off - The tribes merge when there are 10 contestants left - At this point reward and immunity challenges are individual, with individuals voted off becoming the "jury" who determine which of the final 2 will win the million dollars. "Boston" Rob Mariano was on the 4th edition of Survivor (and All-Stars as well), where he was also known as "The Robfather" and was the de Facto leader of his tribe, until he was voted off after the two tribes merged. But being the shit disturber that he is, he set the wheels in motion for an "overthrow" of the main alliance in the game. In Survivor All Stars (also known as ASS) he made it to the final two contestants, due to a combination of strategy, challenge-winning ability and backstabbing (aka "playing the game", since it IS an integral part of the game). He lost mainly because his backstabbing caused some bitterness among the jury, even those who played with the EXACT SAME STRATEGY as Rob. Who'd he lose to? Well, it's his Race partner... Amber Brkich. She's from Beaver, PA (seriously), and was originally on the second Survivor, where she did absolutely nothing notable. But she did get her own spread in Stuff Magazine (which she did for free). Heading into ASS (where she was in as an alternate for Elizabeth Hasselback) she entered into an alliance with Boston Rob where she did... nothing of note. Or maybe not - she allegedly played good cop to Rob's bad cop, but damned if I can remember a whole lot that she did. Over the course of the show, they bonded very nicely - because nothing tests a relationship like getting stuck on a tropical island where you don't eat a lot, don't shave and probably smell really bad. Anyways, Rob took her all the way to the final 2, and proposed to her before the results were announced on a live broadcast. She accepted, and then won a million dollars because she wasn't Rob. Long story short - Rob is probably well suited to TAR, Amber is likely not. And if the Roadblock restrictions are still in place, she'll have to work hard to pull her weight.

    I'm sure there are plenty. It's definitely not for everyone.
