Jason Mesnick isn’t the most popular guy right know, because he dumped Melissa on television. I decided to watch the episode where the ladies go back to Seattle, when Jason was considered a likeable guy.
This episode was probably one of the least dramatic episodes I have ever seen of the Bachelor; the final five girls Molly, Melissa, Stephanie, Jillian and Naomi were all likeable at this point.
The episode starts off with the girls going to Seattle to see Jason in his everyday life. I do not think that house Jason was living in was his real house. That’s a good thing because people are crazy these days and he could get stalkers at his real house.
I thought Melissa and Jason were cute together. I thought it was nice when she picked up after the half-eaten pizza assuming the role as the wife. From her facial reaction when Jason canceled her date you could tell she was upset. I don’t blame her if he really took a half hour to call. I would be upset too. I thought she sucked it up and realized that this is Jason’s regular life.
The group date was interesting. You could definitely get the vibe that the three girls are friends. I was confused about the radio show. Was it airing or were they saving it to air the show at a later date? How awkward for Naomi and Melissa to hear the whole thing. I think they were only talking about the three girls that were at the station.
The date with Naomi was strange. She appears younger than 24. It’s not a big deal unless you are on a dating show and the end goal is to be engaged. Also, on this season you are going to become a step-mother. I do not see Naomi being a step-mother this soon.
The unexpected one-on-one with Jillian was nice, but I did not see any romantic chemistry between the two. She was also this season’s token, I did this on a lark girl. It appears that she has a fun personality.
Well, Stephanie’s elimination was not a real shocker. I really wanted to dislike her, but I couldn’t. She was just too normal.

The Real World Brooklyn- Sarah, JD & Devyn
The Real World this season has been dominated mostly by Ryan and Katelynn. Rightfully so since they both have unique stories that have not been told before. Ryan is in the Army and Katelynn is transgender.
Let’s talk about some of the other characters on the show. First there is Sarah who is an art therapist, something I did not know existed as an occupation. She has to deal with real issues on the show, which is refreshing. I also have this theory that her dad got her phone number from production because they probably do a background check on all these cast members.
J.D. has to be considered one of the worst drunks I have seen on this show. He always gets into a fight with someone when he drinks. You would think he would lay off the liquor already.
Oh Devyn, how embarrassing to try to go to Manhattan and end up in New Jersey of all places. I was surprised that she did not call up the casting agent to let him know she would be late. Her crush on Scott is awkward to watch. I hated her excuse about the sing off. I always figured that singers are always ready. Her hair is also a huge distraction.
Oh yeah, I am a loyal viewer of American Idol, but I do not recognize J.D.’s friend from the audition phase at all. If I have to hear J.D.’s “I was drunk” excuse one more time I am not going to be happy.

American Idol 8-Phoenix Auditions
Tonight’s American Idol was postponed due to Barack Obama’s speech. So I decided to re-watch the first episode of Season 8. I forgot if any of the finalists came from Phoenix, plus I miss watching American Idol three times a week.
So did anyone memorable come from Phoenix? Well, yes - Bikini Girl and Scott MacIntyre. I also thought Kara DioGaurdi came off very well for her first episode.
I have to say I hated the idea of a fourth judge, but she is doing a great job.
Also, why were there 20 minutes of filler before the first audition? I understand that they want ratings, but you would think the producers could give us an audition. They wouldn’t need to fill the time going over the opportunities David Cook has gained by being on American Idol.
The funniest moment of the episode was how uncomfortable Ryan Seacrest was when Bikini Girl wanted to make out with him. Seacrest’s excuse was wonderful: “It’s against the rules”
Oh yeah, am I the only one who thought Kara looked like Katherine McPhee? Seriously, at one point I actually thought it was her. Good thing Kara is on three seasons later or that would be freaky.
Another great part that I forgot about was right at the beginning with the elementary school girls having a meltdown when David Cook won. I wonder if the producers are trying to send a message that they wished the other David won.
The most shocking moment was that Taylor Hicks was shown. I thought American Idol would try to get rid of him forever and pretend that no one won Season Five. The editing of this Audition Episode was different than the last couple seasons auditions.
It was pretty weird seeing a young Ryan Seacrest with his wonderful blonde highlights next to Brian Dunkelman during the “This is American Idol” montage. Yeah, I wonder if Dunkelman ever got his show he was pitching on-air?
It’s also great that all of these Reality Shows are now in HD. It definitely makes the show better. It’s kind of funny when you compare how overproduced these auditions look now and then compare them to Season One.
Conspiracy Theory Alert-Paula’s contract is up at the end of this season. So does everyone think Kara will replace her? I don’t think they have renewed Paula’s contract yet. This could be very interesting.

The Real World Secrets: Revealed
This special aired awhile ago on MTV to give the viewers a look at what goes on behind the scenes on the popular television show The Real World. Some of the information was surprising, but most of it at least in my opinion wasn’t so surprising.
I wonder how much the average viewer was really surprised about. I wish they focused on the casting and what makes the cast members they choose so interesting. I don’t mean characters like Paula from Key West and Brad from San Diego.
Honestly, why do they cast people like Baya from Brooklyn and Melanie from Philadelphia if we never see them? If anyone is actually reading this you are probably trying to rack your brain and figure out who the latter person is, and if Brooklyn wasn’t airing right know you would try to figure out who Baya was. Was she the dancer in the season with the army guy and transgender?
The special reminded me of some of the older seasons of the Real World when it was actually somewhat significant and was not a place to watch drunken debauchery.
Speaking of that, why are they making a movie about Pedro Zamora? Wouldn’t it make more sense to just air footage of him on his season and have that play out as a movie instead? For those who don’t know, Pedro Zamora was a cast member on The Real World San Francisco who had AIDS. The finale of his season he was married to his boyfriend Sean who he met in San Francisco. He died the day after his season’s finale aired.
Before I end this blog post, how odd was it watching the production interview seeing how choked up they were when Danny from Austin’s mom died? I thought the whole segment was very strange; I did not like Danny on his original season, but you can’t help but feel bad for the guy. I also couldn’t imagine knowing that his mom died before he did and then having to watch him find out and not being able to say a word to him.

Why Susie Deserved To Win Survivor: Gabon
I usually hate these types of arguments, but Survivor: Tocantins has not grabbed my attention yet. Let’s travel back in time to last season to Survivor: Gabon. I was not too pleased about Bob being the winner. I felt Susie deserved it a little more.
You see, Susie might not have been the most strategic player or the most dominant, but she has never been given the credit she deserves. She was invisible up until Episode 7. Then she flipped and joined forces with Crystal and Kenny and got rid Marcus. Marcus was one of those Survivors who seemed destined to make the final 3. On paper he was perfect: Harvard educated, athletic, and an alliance leader.
Marcus was the leader in his majority alliance. At Episode 7 everyone thought someone from the Kota tribe was going to win the million dollars. Then Susie was offered a better offer and took it. She was the swing vote to get rid of Marcus.
Susie won the first individual immunity challenge. She stuck to her alliance and voted with the majority. Susie then won the most crucial immunity challenge. If she didn’t win she would have been voted off. The win also gave Susie a free ticket to the final three and the chance to face the lovely jury
The other two finalists, Bob and Sugar, made terrible arguments on why they should win the million dollars. Susie’s argument was not much better, but at least she tried to answer some of the unanswerable questions the jury threw her way.
Oh, and there was no way Randy was the swing vote, but even if he was, he gave a pretty petty excuse not to vote for her. If I had a choice between someone who thought I was overdramatic or someone who humiliated me by making a fake idol and then tried to blame it all on the other person, I would choose the overdramatic person. Obviously Randy thinks a little differently.
Was Susie the best player on Survivor: Gabon? No, not at all. Was she the most dominant? Nope, but she has not gotten the credit she deserves.
