This Week In Reality TV

I have to apologize. My new work schedule is wretched and that gives me very little time to write my recaps most weeks as I have to tape every show I watch and then proceed to watch them before I can even write anything. Next week is one of those weeks thankfully where I will have some more time.

First, in Amazing Race news. The Guidos are finally out of the Race. They were touted as fan favorites and I know that they were in the first go round, but I never really liked what I saw of them. One hurdle down. Now if Charla and Mirna can just go on their merry way I will be happy with whoever wins. I would prefer it to be Eric & Danielle or Oswald & Danny but I would still be okay otherwise.

I don't have much to say about Dancing With The Stars. A note to any beauty queens or otherwise sup hot chicks who are thinking about coming on the show: you won't last. It doesn't matter how good you are. I liked Shandi, but this year will be just like last year. In the end you'll have one good female (Laila Ali) and three really good guys (Joey Fatone, Apolo Ono and Ian Ziering). Don't know who will win, but I'm betting it will be one of those four.

I must say that American Idol this week was the best week since Top 12. Even Sanjaya did okay which isn't saying much. I doubt Simon's tactics will work though. It doesn't matter if he says Sanjaya blows or if he says he is wonderful - people will still vote for him. The judges didn't give Blake enough credit. They were a little too mean to Phil. And they praised Melinda and Jordin just right.

Haley is doomed. I think. Those short skirts can only carry her so far.
