Just some quick thoughts on both of these shows . . .
First up, “90210” was pretty entertaining. Ethan is gone, having decided to stay in Colorado with his dad, rather than returning to West Bev. To replace him they brought in a tennis champ named Teddy, who many might recall played Jeremy Horton on “Days” a few years back. Yeah, he fits in as a high school student about as well as Luke Perry did 🙂
Naomi is back to being queen bitch of the school, and is still furious with Annie. How long will it be before she learns it was her own sister Jen who slept with Liam? Jen didn’t even appear in the episode unfortunately. I guess she’s busy having sex with Mr. Matthews!
Annie is depressed because the guy she hit finally kicked the bucket. Enter a mysterious kid who gets her drunk, seduces her and then takes naked photos which Naomi sees and sends all over school. Looks like this guy is going to be getting his “I know what you did this past summer” revenge on Annie! Yup, he’s supposedly the nephew of the guy she killed.
Then there was the love problems with Dixon and Silver, who had been texting Ethan all summer. He was about to take her back till he found out about those texts. Frankly I thought Dixon was a di… in this episode, especially to Annie, who was trying to open up to him about the accident. He treated her just like everyone else in school had been, like dirt.
Meanwhile, Adrianna was missing her baby, and Navid was pissed that Adrianna wouldn’t have sex with him. Finally Naomi is interested in Teddy, but he has an interest in Adrianna it seems. Poor Naomi, it’s hard being her! She can’t find any guy who likes just her it seems.
It was an okay premier, nothing to write home about. “Melrose Place” on the other hand . . . Well I have to try and watch this one again. I just found myself bored and fast forwarding hoping something good or interesting would happen. The only interesting people for me were Sydney, who they killed off in this murder mystery storyline, and Michael, who may have killed her. The new residents just seemed boring. The only one I bothered to pay attention to was Michael’s son, and only because I wondered who his mother was.
It took me some time to like the new “90210,” so perhaps I’ll come to like “MP” at some point.
Big Brother: The Final 3 … Liar Liar Pants On Fire!
Posted by Dustin on 09.08.2009 at 10:07 pm
The show began with the normal recaps of Kevin going on the block, as part of Natalie’s latest LIE! It also recapped her weak LIES LIES LIES to cover up her Pandora’s Box deal and LIE.
After nominations, Natalie Queen of LIES walked around her HOH room celebrating by herself.
Later, Natalie talked with Jordan asking if she wins POV, who will she send home. Jordan didn’t know, so Natalie LIED to Jordan to make sure she did whatever she wanted. Jordan secretly however decided to stick with Michelle because that is what Jeff advised her to do.
Kevin told Natalie that his ass was now on the line, thanks to her opening the box. Natalie said everyone would have opened it, and she has confidence in him. Kevin said if he didn’t win, he would go home.
The final POV was played. They had to match all these names with clues, stacking all these blocks (with names) to match a stack of clues. They had to hit a buzzer at the end, and were told if they were right or wrong, but not WHERE they were wrong. It was like the old game “Mastermind” basically. Of course Kevin wins the game.
Julie went to the living room to talk with Kevin and the guests. She asked Kevin about the veto, then asked Natalie how hard it was to open the box? Natalie couldn’t sit there and LIE, because that’s not like Natalie as she’s so honest. She said it wasn’t hard at all, she admitted it because she couldn’t sit there and LIE to America, because she’s so honest. Actually that might be the first time all season Natalie didn’t LIE.
Natalie was thrilled Kevin won, because it would mean that Michelle would be out of the game. Natalie brought out drinks for Kevin to congratulate him, and Michelle realized they were a team all along . . . that Natalie had done the unthinkable and LIED to her about them not being a team. Shocking!
Kevin however realized that he can’t be in Final 2 with Natalie, as all his friends would vote for her in the jury house. Natalie swore up and down to Kevin she would take him to final 2, and he should believe that . . . cause Natalie doesn’t LIE.
Michelle questioned Kevin about his partnership with Nat. Michelle swore up and down she’ll take him to the final 2 and will get Nat out. Kevin had a lot to think about! Michelle knew she had to work Kevin to stay in this house. Michelle promised Kevin her vote should she stay this week but go next.
Julie went to talk to Natalie privately in the HOH room. She asked who she was loyal to, and Natalie swore it was to Kevin. Julie then questioned Natalie about her 18 year old LIE. Natalie said this LIE, which Natalie doesn’t do, has helped her and got her this far. So Natalie admitted she had LIED her way through the game, but in fact Natalie doesn’t LIE.
The live veto meeting began, with Kevin choosing to save himself with the veto. Jordan had to take the seat next to Michelle, with Kevin being the sole vote to throw them out. They both got to make their speeches.
Jordan said Kevin told her that she hoped he’d keep her safe as he said, while they’d all LIED in this game, she didn’t think she was a backstabber.
Michelle then spoke, told Kevin that the jury house hates her, so if he took her to final 2, she doesn’t stand a chance against him. She said she could raise hell with him here, or against him in the jury house. Michelle wore her “Devil Horns” at the ceremony, as Natalie told her she was a devil . . . cause she’s a LIAR and BACKSTABBER.
Kevin made a vote, and evicted Michelle. Michelle, on the way out, said “Good luck and may the best wo . . . player win!” Kevin was a bit pissed by that remark.
Julie talked with the evicted Michelle. She asked if Jeff’s decision to take Russell out changed her game. She basically said it did. Michelle watched her goodbye messages. Natalie told her that she was glad to see her go because of what a dirty player she was (cause Nat doesn’t LIE or BACKSTAB!). Kevin wasn’t sure if he could trust Michelle, which is why he sent her home (cause he can trust Natalie, pfft!). Jordan said she would really miss her and she played better than anyone in this game. Julie then asked Michelle about the horrid names she was called in this game (from Ronnie and Natalie, King and Queen of LIES), which almost made Michelle cry given her past being bullied and called horrible names.
The final HOH game began with the first of three competition being played. The winner of part 1 goes immediately to part 3. It was of course an endurance comp where they had to hold onto their key while a log they stood on spun. It was like an old fashion lumberjack game where you had to balance on a log in the river. (Will let you know from the feeds who wins – will post in the comments – unless someone beats me to it!)
AMERICA! We can still vote for our favorite houseguest to win $25,000. Go to CBS.com to vote for free!
Finally …. some dedications, from my heart to the houseguest left …
Hey Natalie! I dedicate this song to you . . . and I hope when you get out of this game you find this dedication 🙂 You think you’ve played this game so nobaly, well you have been LYING since Day 1, which means you are the biggest LIAR this season!
Dear Jordan, this one is for you, stay strong, find your inner power!
According to Ausiello, Marc Cherry will create 8 “soap opera like commercials” for ABC and Sprint, to be aired as commercials during “Desperate Housewives.” They will feature a soap-like murder storyline, serving as a background to introduce two new characters. The 35 second spots begin airing with the premier on September 27th.
At the center of the story will be Rebecca Staab from “Y&R” and David Chisum from “OLTL.” The characters (yet to be named) officially join the show on the fifth episode of the season airing October 25th according to ABC Soaps In Depth. They’ll apparently be moving into Edie’s old house!

Big Brother: The Episode Where Natalie Doesn’t Lie At All
Posted by Dustin on 09.06.2009 at 9:07 pm
As usual the show began with a recap of Jeff’s eviction and Natalie totally lucking out and winning the HOH guessing game. Oh yeah, I’m telling you all now, this recap is totally slanted against that Gnat 🙂
Natalie immediately ran around gloating, screaming “Final Three Baby!” Michelle was ready to be sick as she knew she was going up. Kevin felt like Natalie acted like she just won some long endurance challenge, when the fact is she can’t win squat. Jordan felt as if she had just screwed herself.
Natalie told Kevin not to doubt that they are going to final two together. Natalie wanted Michelle out, she was the one they had to beat this week. However they also worried about Jordan, as she did really well in that comp.
Natalie came up with a plan to put Kevin up on the block to try and fool the house to think that Kevin and her weren’t aligned (as if anyone would believe that). Kevin was furious, thinking it took 5 minutes for the power to go to her head and wondered if he would have to slap the biznatch! (Kevin’s words!)
Natalie got her HOH room, which included a blanket gift from her boyfriend. Nobody really seemed to be that excited about seeing Nat’s room at all, honestly!
Natalie told Michelle and Jordan she was putting up Kevin, as she wanted them to feel safe. She told them all these lies (oh wait, Natalie doesn’t lie) about how she wanted Kevin gone because he has too many votes in the jury house.
The houseguests played a luxury competition, which was to win new clothes. Jordan and Michelle were on one team, with Nat and Kevin on a team. However they all played as a house. They won 3:30 to shop for clothes, being allowed to keep anything they were able to put on. The uncomfortable moment of the week came as Kevin began to strip the mannequins of the clothes they were wearing, as he wanted them. CBS felt the need to blur out the lower regions of the mannequins. What the hell was going on down there?
Later, Kevin went to talk to Michelle about a Final 2 that worked for him, he knew he couldn’t win with Natalie. He suggested they work to get Natalie out, as they could do it, whereas she and Jordan or he and Jordan might not be able to. From his diary room sessions, Kevin was serious, as he was ready to knock Natalie out for the money.
Natalie came to talk to Jordan, telling her they should team up, and how she was going to be “honest” with her (because Natalie doesn’t lie). Later Natalie went to the HOH room to find another Pandora’s Box door. Natalie was offered a chance to spend time with a love one, it was her boyfriend Jason. Natalie said she’d do anything to spend time with him. The price was to give up playing in the veto competition!
Natalie chose to give up the veto comp, possibly screwing Kevin over, to see her boyfriend. She only had five minutes with Jason, and he proposed to her. Her answer was “Hell yeah!” It was the most romantic moment in “Big Brother” history . . . . NOT. (Seriously, it seemed faked and scripted for TV, really).
Of course Jason had another offer from “Big Brother.” She got an extra 15 minutes and a sushi dinner with Jason. The price? The rest of the house was annoyed by three unwelcome visitors. A big baby chased Kevin and Michelle around crying that he wants his mommy. Then a little person dressed as a cat showed up and he copied everything they said. The final visitor was a giant roach spraying Jordan and others with a can of bug spray.
After the visitors left, Natalie decided not to tell the others what happened, but the others came up too soon and saw another Pandora’s box door. She said she got screwed and opened the box, and lost the ability to play in the veto. They however wanted to know what was behind the door. She started making up some huge lie about what some offer they made her and she took. Oh wait Natalie doesn’t lie . . . The “story” she made up was some silly “Final 2 Reversal” deal, which means if she gets to the end and she is voted to win, she loses. Or if she is voted 2nd, she wins. Everyone looked at her like “What?”
Kevin knew she was a being a big fat liar, and Natalie realized she was caught. Later Jordan and Michelle talked with Kevin, they all knew she was lying. They knew nobody would take her to final 2 with this deal. Natalie came out and asked them all not to ask her anymore about Pandora’s Box. (Probably because she doesn’t lie, therefore she didn’t want to tell anymore lies to cover up the lies she’s told. Wait I mean stories!)
Kevin refused to believe the “story” Natalie was telling and confronted her privately. Natalie then decided to pretend her lies were just a fun joke she was playing on everyone. She then told them all she was just pranking them, that they all got punked by an 18 year old (another story!). She came out and told them the truth about her boyfriend and the proposal. They honestly weren’t sure they could believe the tomboy who cried wolf.
Kevin was furious in a diary session, thinking if she could lie about this, then she’s probably been lying about other things including her name.
The nomination ceremony was held, with Natalie dressed up in her STUPID QUEEN NAT outfit. She put Kevin and Michelle on the block. She claimed she put Kevin up for strategic reasons, she duped him and she would beat him by getting him out before he could get her out. She then told Michelle she nominated her for personal reasons, she’s a backstabber and a liar (funny!). She said if she made a deal with Michelle, it was a deal with the devil. (BTW, based on the feeds, Natalie went way further in her noms speech and it was way edited for TV! She went into “Jerry” territory from last season, blasting Michelle on religion)
Natalie told us in her diary room session that her target was Michelle, and she was pulling one over (i.e. lying to and planning on backstabbing) Jordan by taking Kevin to final 2 with her.
America, it’s time for us to vote for our favorite houseguest and give them 25K in cash! Every single houseguest is eligible, vote at CBS.com for free! The winner will be announced on the finale September 15th.
Project Runway: Mitchell You Do Nothing, You Are Out
Posted by Dustin on 09.04.2009 at 5:56 pm
So last week on “Project Runway,” Marvin (the guy with the Kajagoogoo hair) was sent home as his mother-hen-egg inspired garment was just a hot tranny mess. Mitchell found himself with a stern warning from Heidi that he had just barely made it by.
This week, Heidi wasn’t so kind. Mitchell found himself team leader and chose Ramon to be on his team. He all but said he did so because he knew Ramon would carry him through this week! Well as it turned out, Ramon did everything and won the challenge, with Mitchell being sent home for admitting he did nothing. Heidi coldly said “Never in the history of project runway has the team leader of a winning team been sent home.”
Frankly Mitchell should have gone week one when he didn’t sew a damn thing! I and probably all other fans are wondering how Mitchell got on this show. They have shown casting specials in the past, and you have to show up with a portfolio and gowns. Did he cheat his way in? Did he sleep his way in? Was the show this desperate this season?
I was watching a little of the “Models of the Runway” show last week, the show the models have that follows. The episode was basically about insulting and complaining about poor Mitchell. None of the models liked him, and the model he chose last week made it clear she was pissed he chose her.
It’s week three and Mitchell is finally gone. Frankly I feel bad for the first two designers let go as he skated by. I mean hey, I made a kick ass sweat shirt in home-ec in 7th grade. I feel like now I too can make it to at least week three on “Project Runway” 🙂
