Like “Ugly Betty,” I need to take notes when watching “Grey’s” so I remember what to comment on 🙂 I also need to concentrate and not try and do too many things while the shows are on, I miss too much. With Grey’s I can watch the reruns on Fridays though. I’m going to have to watch the re-run tomorrow. I just missed too much tonight unfortunately.

First up, huge OMG with Izzie’s secret. Wow, that was a good shocker! This opens up huge possibilities for her story lines on the show now. Not only was she dealing with the George thing, but now this. I love how George supported her through it . . . but . . . . .

Callie is no fool, she knows something is going on with George and Izzie! From the previews for next week is looks like it’s going to get hot in the kitchen. I love Sarah Ramirez and there has been speculation she may or may not be back next season. While I love “Grizzie,” I can’t help but love Callie too.

Meredith and Derrick, uhg. He wants to be chief so bad that he’s going to end up screwing up his relationship with Meredith over it. Meanwhile the whole thing with Meredith and her step-mom was great I thought. I’m glad she gave her a chance at the end, so sweet!

I will admit, I did not pay attention to the Christina and Burke storyline at ALL tonight. Is it just me, or are they boring? This is the one storyline that doesn’t hold my interest at all. Zzzzzzzzz.

Wow what a great episode of “Ugly Betty” tonight! First I know I will forget something, actually a lot of things. I needed to take notes while these shows are going on so I can remember what I want to comment on. I also need to not try and multitask too, that causes me to miss things too.

First up, wow what a surprise with Constance being fired months ago.  I loved that she held him captive and put Ignacio into that ugly tux. For a moment though I thought he might actually marry her to get a green card! Now he seems to be back at square one, though one would think they could use this as leverage against the system.

Daniel has resorted to being his former playboy self and told Betty, who was only looking out for him, to clock out. Funny, he was the one always calling her at every single moment for help before. However now he pushed her away and Betty finally was hurt enough that when Daniel needed her . . . she wasn’t there.

Daniel Daniel Daniel, caught in bed with a sixteen year old! Somehow I think these two are probably lying and this is a scam, but who know. If the little reporter guy finds out about this then he is in big trouble!

So Christina finally admitted to Betty that she had become Wilhelmina’s, well her bitch per say. I was wondering when this was going to come out. I really liked Betty and Christina’s friendship and now it’s been tarnished. Will they be able to repair it? I hope so!

Both Alexis and Wilhelmina were on a hunt for Fey’s lost diaries, supposedly hidden in the secret sex dungeon. First up the feet thing with Bradford was hilarious. Those fish eating her dead skin cells, EW!

Meanwhile Alexis is looking all over for the secret room, but Amanda the busy body put her in her place and let her know what the code was really about. Loved it! Amanda and Marc are the funniest characters in this show. I hope Alexis does hire Amanda as her assistant. She and Marc would end up becoming rivals though!

Finally Alexis seems to be reaching out to daddy after learning he was trying to reconcile with him . . . er her. Why do I get the feeling Wilhelmina is somehow going to pull a coup off and take over soon?

First up, this week’s episode of the new reality show “Shear Genius” was much better. This time around the challenge was to give a client a “celebrity” haircut. Unfortunately some of the clients had rather impossible expectations! In the end poor Jim went home. Jim and Daisy were in the bottom two thanks to their ugly day-glo orange color jobs. I think it should have been Daisy who went home. I mean she turned her client into Marcia Cross when she wanted to be Christina Aguilera. So far I’m loving Tabitha on this show. She’s sexy, sassy and can cut hair.

Over to Bravo’s other show “Workout.” This one is starting to just annoy me. Jackie is being a #$%^. This stuff going on with Rebbecca is a sexual harassment suit waiting to happen. I hope when it happens, Jesse gives her a big “told you so!” Speaking of Jesse, he got water thrown in his face by Rebbecca after calling her some names at dinner. Of course Jackie wasn’t there and when she returned it was obvious she didn’t want to be the bad guy and pick sided. Uhg! Meanwhile Doug’s death continues to loom, as the trainers all believe he’s on the mend.

“Grey’s Anatomy” star Isiah Washington has officially taken his name out of the Emmy nomination, according to Variety.com. Isiah could have put his name in for a best supporting actor nomination, not guaranteeing he would get it, but didn’t. Will he appear at the Emmys though? The Emmy’s air on September 16th.

So the bottom three this week were Lakisha, Blake and Sanjaya. Sanjaya no shocker, the other two . . . wow! Then it came down to Lakisha and Sanjaya . . . . OMG! However in the end Sanjaya’s run finally came to an end.

So I wonder what the ratings will look like from now on? Lets be honest, half the audience has been watching because of Sanjaya.

The Hollywood Reporter has, well reported, that P.K. Simonds is set to join “Ghost Whisperer” as a new executive producer, should the show get a third season pick-up. Probably good news that they are even courting a new ex-producer, would they be if they weren’t confident they would get another season? “Ghost Whisper” has been winning Friday nights for CBS, though there honestly isn’t much competition at the moment. Here is hoping the show will make it to year three.

The website IESB.net has posted six clips of the upcoming episode .07% for Heroes. I have not watched these to see if they are similar or repeats of the previous three sneak peaks that NBC released earlier this month.

While I’m tempted to watch them, I’m going to stay strong and resist. The show is almost back and these 6 clips plus the other 3 could wreck almost half the show! I want some surprises when one of my favorite shows returns.

Also an added bonus, George Takei will return as Hiro’s father before the season ends. Remember, he’s somehow involved with Linderman . . . .

First up “American Idol.” Like “Dancing,” this is the first season of AI I have actually been watching every episode of. Amazing I know, but again nothing else has been on! With that said, I have to admit country is not my music of choice. Okay I really don’t like it and I really don’t know it. Anyways, here are my quick thoughts!

Phil Stacey – I was sure Phil would be the next one to go, but shockingly I thought he was really good this week.  Even Simon had good things to say about him. Will this save him? It might!

Jordan Sparks – She bored me to tears tonight. She was great, but boring. The judges all loved her though. Can I also say this entire season the background vocals tend to overpower the singer? How can you judge someone when you hear more of the background chorus than them?

Sanjaya Malakar – Will this be the performance that sends him home? One of my constant complaints about Sanjaya is he seems to talk more than sing. I have to admit, it was one of his better performances, though the judges didn’t like it this week. Unfortunately Simon’s nasty comments may insure Sanjaya gets the votes! Let’s be honest, if Sanjaya does go home, how many of us will keep watching?

Lahkisha Jones – Again  an okay performance, but just boring. The judges seemed to hate it though. I didn’t think it was terrible though.

Chris Richardson – Kinda like Phil, he was pretty good this time around! A bit nasally, but still better than he’s been. The judges didn’t seem to like it. Oh well!

Melinda Doolittle – Melinda is always good and she didn’t disappoint this week either. She’s going to be in the final two.

Blake Lewis – I think Blake might be Melinda’s competition in the final two. However this week I just wasn’t impressed by him at all. The judges however really liked him tonight.

Over to “Dancing With The Stars.” First, must we endure an hour of singing, comedy and recaps in order to get the results?  I am glad Clyde went home. If Heather went home over him I might have had a conniption! I can’t even believe Billy wasn’t down there with Clyde, and from his reaction neither could he!
