Line of the Week:
“I have a new goal, to prove myself innocent.” – Cyclist Floyd Landis. Good luck with that. I mean, when even Jay Leno starts mocking your words in a serious manner, you’ve got a serious uphill battle ahead of you. Pun not intended.
IP Linkage:
Roxanne talks with Apprentice castmate Leslie Bourgeois.
Travis is giving away copies of Prison Break season one. And my wife is pissed because she’s not eligible.
Scott returns with Reality Bytes.
Having just gone to a wedding last weekend, and with some fantasy football drafts this weekend, I got nothing this week, so let’s look at
The Week… In Hindsight:
‘Canadian Idol’
Rob’s gone and it’s kind of a shame. But I think that in the grand scheme of things, he’s done what he set out to do – make people realize that he’s more than just “That Guy from That Group that had That Hit”. It seems like the Final Four will be Craig, Eva, Tyler and Ashley but fickle voters could blow that away in an instant. I know ‘Big Brother’ recapper Richard Mauntah would love to see Steffi win.
‘Hell’s Kitchen’ (4.9/8, 2nd)
Oh hey, Virginia’s in the finals. I’m gobsmacked. The funny thing is, she now stands a chance of winning because she actually doesn’t have to cook in the final challenge. Of course, it looks like her kitchen has the likes of Giacomo the mophead and Tom the sweaty guy. Meanwhile, Heather’s recruited Garrett and Rachel. Seems kinda lopsided if you ask me.
‘Treasure Hunters’ (3.1/5, 4th)
Three teams left. At this point you’d expect the Air Force to win, but they’ve been shown to be falliable in the past. Geniuses have really shown that often, they’re anything but. Still, they’re decent enough at puzzles that if they can gain time that way, they could win it all. Which is why I’m half-expecting the Southie Boys to win it all. Then beat the crap out of one another.
‘Rock Star: Supernova’ (3.9/6, 3rd)
Once I thought that there were five contenders to win this. I now have to make it six, as Ryan has shown some consistency and stepped up in the past few weeks. And his version of “Enjoy the Silence” was killer. As for Jill and Josh, well, it’s not like they were going to win, and dumping both of them was no big loss. Although I have to wonder – it Zayra had been in the bottom three, would the “band” have gone for the trifecta?
‘Last Comic Standing’ (4.8/8, 1st)
Josh Blue won? Nice to see that people jumped on the disability bandwagon with this edition of the show. Well, at least he was funnier than Dat Phan (my wife is now ashamed to be from Vietnam) and Jay Mohr.
Bob Saget
Bob’s the new host for a show called ‘1 vs 100’, as you can read here. NBC calls him “America’s beloved funnyman”. Apparently NBC’s never seen his standup act, which is funnier than anything he’s done on ‘Full House’ and ‘America’s Funniest Home Videos’, combined.
That’s it for this week.
