Late Survivor Finale Show Review

Well Tyson won the Survivor Blood Vs Water and at first I was not thrilled he made it to the final 3 but you know if you stop to think about it he played a game. He played the game like it should be and for us sometimes sitting here at home on our couches or chairs watching the show we yell at the tv and the people on it ha ha I do! Though if you stop to think about it like I said Tyson played the game of Survivor he outwitted outlasted and outplayed everyone and got himself to the end and won !

I had wished that Monica did not make it either but glad she did not win then again she played the game just like Gervises who IMO should of been on jury not at the final 3 I never really cared for him. Then again he played to but did not win.

All in all this season was not bad it made up for the horrible summer of Big Brother I can say that ha ha! I can't wait for the next Survivor though I am not sure about this bronze,brains and beauty I think it is the Three BBB REALLY GUYS ? LOL!

So on that note I am sorry for being well late on my post its been the holidays and I hope you all have a blessed and wonderful Christmas, Hanukkah or how ever you celebrate I wish you all the best and merriest of what life has to offer.

Thank you all for reading my blog and sticking with me even though my spelling and grammar is not always the best LOL ! I talk much different than I can type lol 

Happy New Years to everyone

Survivor From Wed. November 27th,2013 WOW what a show !

Well boy did that show start out IMO a bang! Laura M helping Tina with the puzzle and totally dissing Vytas my god! I am not to glad Vytas is off to jury I wanted Tina to be out for good and on jury but we shall see who goes next week.

Then they all voted out Caleb WHY?? I Hope he comes back into the game and kicks some ASS I will say! Tyson should of been the one to go if all kept there mouths shut and they he would not of used or known to use the idol at all!

Well lets see who goes next week and to many more weeks left of the show but I have to say this one has been pretty good in allot of ways.. Though Id love to see Monica go but she keeps winning individual immunity so its going to be a miracle if she does not win it next week and she gets voted OFF AND then off to Jury should of been gone awhile ago before jury again IMO

Alright all have a great day sorry were late again for those of you who are in America it was Thanksgiving so Happy Late Thanksgiving to you all

Be kind to one another and hope your day or evening is great where ever in the world you may live

For now good night all its evening here where I live now..

Our first Jury Survivor last night Nov.20th

Well Aras out he is now our jury sorry if I spelled his name wrong but I am sure you all know which brother I am talking about LOL! I loved how the two hugged and said they loved each other & shared a bond which I found awesome!

Of course we all seen Laura M get the vote last night again and even her daughter wrote her name down and that took courage to just tell her mom that she was voting her out and she did along with everyone else. I am happy with the previews though that people are figuring out about Tyson pulling allot of strings and they do need to blind side him to so he does not use that Idol he found I want him out of the game to and now on Jury is where he outta go IMO

Tyson I was trying to like him I was but I can't he is rubs me the way that someone thinks they are all that lol IMO

Will try to post more later been busy with so much but I am here message me anytime leave a message I read them all I do.

Have a great day or Evening where ever in the world you may live and be kind to one another in your world

I know late all on my Survivor thoughts here we go

Hey everyone sorry I know late on my Survivor thoughts but been busy as usual but will try harder to get my rear over here lol! Anyhow, I was bummed to see John go and not shocked the Laura Rupert's wife went to.. I liked her but I guess with being Rupert's wife it put a huge target on her back in many ways why I would love to seen her go farther..

As for the Merge I am glad my GOD that someone went to look for the Idol geesh and all people to who finds it Tyson but hey can't win the all. I like him and I don't in some ways to. I wish that Vytas Baskauskas and Ara's could of played further to. But be dammed to IMO!

 
Not sure who I am liking right now in the game who is left probably Vytas is one 
Ciera Eastin Laura M daughter she is pretty good like her. IMO Tina should of been the one gone awhile ago after her flub with the standing there like durr and went back in the water to bring the basket back my god!

Well will share more thoughts this is all for now have a great day and evening where ever in the world you live

Be kind to one another

Why? Because I am just in that mood today :))

Your asking yourself I think ha ha " So why is she in that mood today and what is it she is thinking ? LOL! Well this weekend I started to listen some music album that is by one of my all time favorite guy bands from yes the 80s best decade EVER IMO :)) and heard songs on Seven And The Ragged Tiger Album I had not heard in years! It took me back to the time when I had all the Duran Duran Albums even there exports yes I had those to there export albums when they were in there New Romantic stage. 

Then this morning I listen to Arcadia as some may know this was formed by Simon Le Bon, Nick Rhodes, John Taylor and Nigel Rogers I think I got that right I hope. Heard some more songs that some I never heard because as the years went by I did listen to Arcadia and Power Station another super group made of Robert Palmer, John and Andy Taylor and Tony Thompson (Drummer). Listen to Bang Of Gong by them brought back some fun memories I have to say. 

Who remembers this guy Loved his music !

Grew up as a teenager in the 80s and I have to say it was one of the best decades music IMO oh sure I loved the 70s music some of it to since hey I was a kid in the 70s now being born in 67 lol

Adam Ant had a style and still does as I listen to one of his newest recent songs still has it but so different and love the style..

Here is a link I found with some oldies but goodies

Enjoy

Survivor Wed Nights show Oct.30th,2013

Hey everyone sorry I am late  been busy but here I am to give my thoughts on Weds show.. I cried like a big baby yes I know over Kat I felt bad for her though but in saying that she should of kept her mouth closed about my least favorite (Monica) person and wanting to vote her out.. I think things shifted and they were going to vote out Laura B that one night but did not.. Laura B Rupert's wife should of not done what she did as well.. I hope she gets back into the game but to be honest I hope two players come back and one goes ..

Well we shall see Vytas I think will be the next to go but who knows though I did think Weds show was good and next week shows will be even better from what I seen in previews which will be the merge and a player is returning so we shall see yes I know I said that already :)

Alright then hope you all have a great day or evening where ever in the world you may live and be kind to one another in your life..

Lou Reed, Velvet Underground Leader and Rock Pioneer, Dead at 71

By JON DOLAN | Oct 27, 2013 AT 01:15PM

Lou Reed, a massively influential songwriter and guitarist who helped shape nearly fifty years of rock music, died today. The cause of his death has not yet been released, but Reed underwent a liver transplant in May.
Look back at Lou Reed's remarkable career in photos
With the Velvet Underground in the late Sixties, Reed fused street-level urgency with elements of European avant-garde music, marrying beauty and noise, while bringing a whole new lyrical honesty to rock & roll poetry. As a restlessly inventive solo artist, from the Seventies into the 2010s, he was chameleonic, thorny and unpredictable, challenging his fans at every turn. Glam, punk and alternative rock are all unthinkable without his revelatory example. "One chord is fine," he once said, alluding to his bare-bones guitar style. "Two chords are pushing it. Three chords and you're into jazz."
Lewis Allan "Lou" Reed was born in Brooklyn, in 1942. A fan of doo-wop and early rock & roll (he movingly inducted Dion into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1989), Reed also took formative inspiration during his studies at Syracuse University with the poet Delmore Schwartz. After college, he worked as a staff songwriter for the novelty label Pickwick Records (where he had a minor hit in 1964 with a dance-song parody called "The Ostrich"). In the mid-Sixties, Reed befriended Welsh musician John Cale, a classically trained violist who had performed with groundbreaking minimalist composer La Monte Young. Reed and Cale formed a band called the Primitives, then changed their name to the Warlocks. After meeting guitarist Sterling Morrison and drummer Maureen Tucker, they became the Velvet Underground. With a stark sound and ominous look, the band caught the attention of Andy Warhol, who incorporated the Velvets into his Exploding Plastic Inevitable. "Andy would show his movies on us," Reed said. "We wore black so you could see the movie. But we were all wearing black anyway."
"Produced" by Warhol and met with total commercial indifference when it was released in early 1967, VU’s debut The Velvet Underground & Nico stands as a landmark on par with the Beatles' Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band and Bob Dylan's Blonde On Blonde. Reed's matter-of-fact descriptions of New York’s bohemian demimonde, rife with allusions to drugs and S&M, pushed beyond even the Rolling Stones’ darkest moments, while the heavy doses of distortion and noise for its own sake revolutionized rock guitar. The band’s three subsequent albums – 1968’s even more corrosive sounding White Light/White Heat, 1969’s fragile, folk-toned The Velvet Underground and 1970’s Loaded, which despite being recorded while he was leaving the group, contained two Reed standards, “Rock & Roll” and “Sweet Jane,” were similarly ignored. But they’d be embraced by future generations, cementing the Velvet Underground’s status as the most influential American rock band of all time.  
Read Rolling Stone's 1989 Lou Reed cover story
After splitting with the Velvets in 1970, Reed traveled to England and, in characteristically paradoxical fashion, recorded a solo debut backed by members of the progressive-rock band Yes. But it was his next album, 1972’s Transformer, produced by Reed-disciple David Bowie, that pushed him beyond cult status into genuine rock stardom. “Walk On the Wild Side,” a loving yet unsentimental evocation of Warhol’s Factory scene, became a radio hit (despite its allusions to oral sex) and “Satellite of Love” was covered by U2 and others. Reed spent the Seventies defying expectations almost as a kind of sport. 1973’s Berlin was brutal literary bombast while 1974’s Sally Can’t Dance had soul horns and flashy guitar. In 1975 he released Metal Machine Music, a seething all-noise experiment his label RCA marketed as a avant-garde classic music, while 1978’s banter-heavy live album Take No Prisoners was a kind of comedy record in which Reed went on wild tangents and savaged rock critics by name (“Lou sure is adept at figuring out new ways to shit on people,” one of those critics, Robert Christgau, wrote at the time). Explaining his less-than-accommodating career trajectory, Reed told journalist Lester Bangs, “My bullshit is worth more than other people’s diamonds.”
Reed’s ambiguous sexual persona and excessive drug use throughout the Seventies was the stuff of underground rock myth. But in the Eighties, he began to mellow. He married Sylvia Morales and opened a window into his new married life on 1982’s excellent The Blue Mask, his best work since Transformer. His 1984 album New Sensations took a more commercial turn and 1989’s New York ended the decade with a set of funny, politically cutting songs that received universal critical praise. In 1991, he collaborated with Cale on Songs For Drella, a tribute to Warhol. Three years later, the Velvet Underground reunited for a series of successful European gigs.
Reed and Morales divorced in the early Nineties. Within a few years, Reed began a relationship with musician-performance artist Laurie Anderson. The two became an inseparable New York fixture, collaborating and performing live together, while also engaging in civic and environmental activism. They were married in 2008.
Reed continued to follow his own idiosyncratic artistic impulses throughout the ‘00s. The once-decadent rocker became an avid student of T'ai Chi, even bringing his instructor onstage during concerts in 2003. In 2005 he released a double CD called The Raven, based on the work of Edgar Allen Poe. In 2007, he released an ambient album titled Hudson River Wind Meditations. Reed returned to mainstream rock with 2011’s Lulu, a collaboration with Metallica.
“All through this, I’ve always thought that if you thought of all of it as a book then you have the Great American Novel, every record as a chapter,” he told Rolling Stone in 1987. “They’re all in chronological order. You take the whole thing, stack it and listen to it in order, there’s my Great American Novel.”

Wha For Monica OR NOT ! Come on Kat really kiddo?? Survivor thoughts oh good god lol

WHA big tears running down my cheek Brad is gone and Monica is all alone WHA NOT NO TEARS for her lol! Both of them on my last nerve and Kat come on kiddo really talking like that saying you have everyones back??? I hate to say it but Vytas was right about your back being up against the wall you got scared kiddo and rightfully so to be honest..

Part of Survivor is talking strategy thats all I seen or heard in the years I have been watching the show that everyone talks strategy of one form or another! I myself no have never been on the show or tried out for the show because I don't think id make it out there to be honest but then again who knows maybe I could but I have a special needs child at home that needs me and my kids come first and maybe when they are out and grown and he is living in a home with care that he needs then maybe I would consider trying out for Survivor.. Though one thing I have learned watching and listening to Jeff even is that you talk strategy and you make alliances and build trusts with those you feel you can and your taking a risk sure but it will tell you ..

So on that note I was so so so so GLAD to see Brad go and now I want Monica to follow here soon .. I already have my final three who I want for sure now is Laura B (Rupert's Wife) , Caleb (Colton's Fiancée'),Hayden or Laura M when if she gets back into the game and I think she will id like to see John come back to if they have more than just final 3 then John id like to see as final 4

No can't really make my mind up lol oh well..

Well thats it for now folks have a great evening or day where ever in the world you may live and be kind to one another

'Dancing with the Stars' Week 5 Recap: Their Most Memorable Years
Monday, October 14, 2013

 

John Kubicek
Senior Writer, BuddyTV

 

The Top 9 couples on Dancing with the Stars season 17 features a lot of incredible talent, Four of the couples have already received at least one 27 from the judges while two others have also received 9s. In fact, two-thirds of all the dances from these nine pairs have received a 24 or higher.

In week 5, each star will look back at their most memorable year before taking the stage for a dance they haven't done yet. So get ready for some emotional stories, Foxtrots and more on Dancing with the Stars!

Since there are no results shows, DWTS is shoe-horning guest performances into the real show, so we start with "Wake Me Up" by Aloe Blacc. The lyrics "wake me up when it's all over" echo my own sentiments.

Luckily they brought back the individual introductions for the couples, but they don't walk down the stairs. Mark Ballas' neon green vest is already stealing the spotlight from his partner.

Tom Bergeron lets us know that, as of now, based on the viewer votes, a female is at the bottom. Ooh, interesting, Snooki? Leah? Christina?

Christina Milian and Mark Ballas: Cha-Cha-Cha

Her Most Memorable Year: 2010. She gave birth to her daughter and divorced her cheating husband. So they're dancing to Cee Lo Green's "Forget You." I guess she isn't bitter over being ousted from The Voice.

She has great moves, and it looks like Mark took Julianne Hough's advice to heart because the choreography is all focused on making Christina the center of attention. I hope Mark takes this as a lesson for the future. However, it's full of one of my personal pet peeves, when many of her movements and gestures mimic the lyrics of the song, which seems kind of hokey. The judges, including the return of Len Goodman, lavish praise on her and have nothing bad to say.

Judges' Scores: 9+10+9=28

Wow, the first 10 of the season! Len must have really enjoyed his vacation.

Jack Osbourne and Cheryl Burke: Waltz

His Most Memorable Year: 2012. He had a baby daughter, and two and a half weeks later he was diagnosed with M.S. So Jack and Christina's most memorable years BOTH featured new daughters followed by tragedy? Of course Jack's is much more moving because he's saddened and scared about not being able to keep up with his baby.

The dance is beautiful and surprisingly good. I guess Jack's rigidity is actually a benefit in the Waltz because it doesn't require him to shake his hips so much. Bruno Tonioli was touched by his story and was impressed with Jack's bum. Once again, it's unanimous praise from the judges.

Judges' Scores: 9+9+9=27

The judges are in a very good mood tonight. This makes Jack the seventh dancer this season to earn a 9, and the sixth to get a 27 or higher. It also guarantees that my prediction of Jack being eliminated is oh-so-wrong.

Leah Remini and Tony Dovolani: Contemporary

Her Most Memorable Year: 2013. It's all because of her decision to leave Scientology and the challenges she's faced having to stand on her own and "Roar," hence the Katy Perry song choice.

Leah makes a joke about how Tony, who has never done Contemporary, should get Corbin Bleu to choreograph their dance. Her concept is about Tony playing a puppet master as Leah cuts the strings. In other words, Tony is L. Ron Hubbard.

The dance has the same issues as Christina's, with Leah's movements constantly mimicking the lyrics. I love the concept and some of the set pieces, but the dancing is lacking and there aren't really any transitions. Carrie Ann Inaba agrees and points out the fact that it was more concept than dance. Leah once again whines about not being a dancer. I'm sick and tired of her bitching about how unfair it is that people like Corbin have dance backgrounds.

Judges' Scores: 7+7+8=22

Yikes, with the news that a woman had the fewest votes, she could be in trouble and Lord Xenu will win. But if all she's gonna do is talk about Scientology and Corbin Bleu, I'd be fine with that.

Paris Hilton is in the audience to support Christina Milian, which just makes me like Christina even less. Brooke Burke-Charvet then tries to get Paris to be on the next season.

Corbin Bleu and Karina Smirnoff: Foxtrot

His Most Memorable Year: 2011. His sister Phoenix was diagnosed with scoliosis and wears a brace 24/7, but she's coping with it like a champion.

There's no gimmick or concept, it's just Corbin dancing like a pro, as he always does. We all know he's going to be in the finale, so it's all just a formality. Bruno calls him the lovechild of Fred Astaire and Ben Vereen. I feel like the judges assume Corbin will get a 10 and spend his dances looking for a reason to deduct a point or two. Carrie Ann complains about lifts and Karina says there was none.

Judges' Scores: 9+9+10-28

Tom pipes in to say that they are going to get a slo-mo instant replay to see if there was a lift, and Carrie Ann may add that one point back that she deducted for a perceived lift. UPDATE: After a commercial, Tom adds that the rulebook states all judges' scores are final, so lift or no lift, it's a 9 from Carrie Ann.

Bill Engvall and Emma Slater: Viennese Waltz

His Most Memorable Year: 1982. It's the year he married his wife. It's also earlier than most of the people on this show were born. It's great to have a sweet, funny, romantic story and not one filled with tragedy. Plus, since his wife is named Gail, it makes me think Bill is the real-life Jerry Gergich from Parks and Recreation.

I don't know why I had my doubts about this, because I think it's lovely and Bill is so fast on his feet and brings a smile to everyone's faces. The judges point out some technical issues, but they love his spirit.

Judges' Scores: 8+8+8=24

It's official that Bill and Leah are the only stars left who have yet to get a 9.

Nicole "Snooki" Polizzi and Sasha Farber: Jazz

Her Most Memorable Year: 2012. She gave birth. Clearly having a kid is memorable. She admits she was a crazy drunk before getting pregnant and all the Internet comments about her being a bad mom got to her, but she's changed and dedicated herself to being a better person and a great mom. She's dancing to Britney Spears' "Work Bitch."

The bitch definitely works, and there's a lot of movement, but I'm just not a fan. First, it doesn't really connect to being a mom because the routine is all dirty and sexy. It's kind of like she's in a dance club. Carrie Ann says it reminded her favorite drag queen, RuPaul. They all love it. I get it, but it's so completely different from everything else. Maybe I'm a grumpy old man, but I still think they need to drop Jazz and Contemporary as styles. Stick with ballroom.

Judges' Scores: 9+9+9=27

Now seven different couples have received a 27 or higher. That should keep her safe, so things are looking very, very bad for Leah.

Brant Daugherty and Peta Murgatroyd: Contemporary

His Most Memorable Year: 2009. He moved to Hollywood to pursue his dream of becoming an actor, and at the same time his dad died from lymphoma. After his dad's death he worked hard and got acting jobs, including Pretty Little Liars.

The dance is beautiful, and not just because Brant's shirt is open. The story and dedication to his father make it extra touching, and his movements are so fierce, fearless and graceful. The judges love every single thing about it because the movements connected to the story and the emotion.

Judges' Scores: 9+9+9=27

Boo, there should've been a 10 in there, but I think they don't like giving a 10 to a Contemporary routine.

Amber Riley and Derek Hough: Foxtrot

Her Most Memorable Year: 2009 She auditioned for American Idol and got turned down, but then she landed the role of Mercedes on Glee.

This is actually my favorite performance of hers since week 1. I think Derek is finally learning how to choreograph for Amber, because it's different than some of his past partners. She doesn't look tired and her energy and acting is spot-on. The judges agree that she's a star. Len complains about there not being enough Foxtrot.

Judges' Scores: 9+7+10= 26

Egads, I have whiplash from those scores! However, this is nothing new, and Derek needs to know that if he ignores the style and does whatever he wants, Len is gonna call him out on it.

Elizabeth Berkley and Val Chmerkovskiy: Jive

Her Most Memorable Yearsr: 1989 and 2012. She doesn't play by the rules, so she gets two years, when her baby was born and when she first started on Saved by the Bell. Mario Lopez is in the audience (A.C. Slater and Jessie Spano 4EVA!) and she's dancing to "I'm So Excited," which is the song I most wanted her to use.

OH! MY! GOD! The routine opens with a recreation of Saved by the Bell as Val climbs through the window of Jessie's bedroom and catches her taking Jive Pills. She needs them! She even does "I'm so excited, I'm so excited, I'm so scared." Everything else doesn't matter, because that moment alone deserves a 30.

Judges' Scores: 8+9+9=26

Tom then says Elizabeth and Val are...IN JEOPARDY! Dear God, no!

The Results

It's time to read a list again. The following couples are SAFE:

Corbin and Karina
Amber and Derek
Bill and Emma
Jack and Cheryl
Brant and Peta
Snooki and Sasha

Christina and Mark are...IN JEOPARDY!
Leah and Tony are...IN JEOPARDY!

Elizabeth and Val are...SAFE!

Christina Milian and Mark Ballas are ELIMINATED!

Wow! They tied for the highest score of the night and got the first 10 of the season tonight. That's gotta hurt, and it means no one likes her at all and she just didn't have the votes to stay when the scores are all so close. Mark has some pretty bad luck, just like with Sabrina Bryan, but even worse.

To be fair, in my prediction article, I did say that a shocking Christina exit was a possibility, I just didn't have the courage to go with that as my pick. Maybe Julianne's comments about Mark last week hurt them and turned people off of their pair.

The Leaderboard

It seems that Gretchen and Alexis  have been let go for there story lines as it says in the article I read said there stories right now are BORING! REALLY??

  

Alexis was getting on my nerves some but not as much as Vicki has been with her being with Brooks that man is bad news sorry JMO and he is hurting Vicki to IMO! I know there are allot of folks not really big fans of Vicki I do like her she has her ways that is for sure but I myself don't know what it is really like in her world we only see allot of these ladies on the show and there families..

They are on there to portray there lives but to be honest rich ones more so than how I Live anyhow..  Anyhow,here is the link to the article I found enjoy reading there is one to about Lynn Curtin who divorced her husband and is now saying she is broke hmm interesting..

Probably the BEST show and Tribal EVER HA HA! Survivor blood vs water

Well last nights show was probably the BEST YET! Besides Colton quitting <rolling eyes> that I Loved that sorry for those who may of liked her but I did not to much she was okay but Marissa Peterson lost at Redemption she just seemed to be I don't know almost well complained or fussed I don't know can't quite put my finger on it but I am sure I will..

Seeing Brad Culpepper go last night to Redemption and seeing John and specially Candices eyes light up ha ha!! Brad and Monica both seem like control freaks IMO they just do and I hope to GOD he does not let Monica take his place as she cries and puts on the show give me a break sorry!

My thoughts on who id like to see as final three and I Know this maybe early but hey id like to see at the end is
Laura Boneham
44, Indianapolis, IN
Rupert's wife at the end seeing her as one of the final three would make it awesome!
Caleb Bankston would be another one to id like to see at the end I Loved loved when he spoke up last night ha right in Brads face to lmfao! Now when he opened his mouth said what he said I was like "YES WAY TO GO YEA NAIL HIM" HA HA!

Third choice would be either John or Candice but you know there are a few others Id like to see to but those are my two I want to see at the end to be honest..

Can't wait to see next weeks show and plan on trying to watch the one episode I missed when Colton quit the game which will be on TV Guide Network if anyone gets that on Sunday Nights might want to check of course your local stations for time..

'Dancing with the Stars' Week 4 Recap: Julianne Hough Judges the Top 10
Monday, October 07, 2013

John Kubicek
Senior Writer, BuddyTV

It's a very special week on Dancing with the Stars because an old champion is returning. Len Goodman is taking some time off, so former pro partner Julianne Hough will be taking over as guest judge. The two-time Mirror Ball winner will oversee the Top 10 couples and trade in her dancing shoes for judging paddles.

How will Judgy-anne Hough do? Will she be fair to everyone, including her brother Derek? And which couples will be third to go home?

We'll find out tonight on Dancing with the Stars!

The opening group number ends with an introduction of the judges, with a special solo intro for Julianne Hough. Tom Bergeron then helps Julianne promote her upcoming movie, Paradise, which opens in less than two weeks.

Julianne promises to be kind, but she'll crack the whip when she needs to. She also lets us know she's focusing more on the stars, so there will be no conflict of interest with judging her brother.

Jack Osbourne and Cheryl Burke: Quickstep

Cheryl admits to PMSing during rehearsals, which might be why she seems so cranky with Jack (who has some serious envy of Corbin). Jack certainly slipped last week, but this week is a bit better. He seems to do a good job with the steps, but he lacks fluidity. Julianne thinks ballroom is his best style, but he needs to have more fun. Carrie Ann Inaba then disagrees with Julianne. Ooh, I think someone is a tad jealous over not being the prettiest girl at the table anymore.

Judges' Scores: 8+8+8=24

Elizabeth Berkley and Val Chmerkovskiy: Argentine Tango

During rehearsal Elizabeth gets into character by staring into Val's eyes for a disturbingly long time to form a connection. The routine itself has Elizabeth as a puppet master controlling Val's violinist. It's wonderfully passionate and exciting, everything I want from a steamy, sultry tango. The judges love it, and Carrie Ann is especially fond of Elizabeth's sharpness. Julianne says that Elizabeth has already fixed the one flaw she was going to point out.

Judges' Scores: 9+9+9=27

I was kind of expecting a 10. I feel like these judges are too scared to give out the first one.

Brant Daugherty and Peta Murgatroyd: Salsa

Brant has an old bike injury that's making some of Peta's more ambitious lifts hard, but she's pushing very hard because they want 10s. The dance itself features Brant taking his shirt off, which is an easy way to give everyone something to shout about. It's definitely hot, but it seems kind of sloppy and they're focusing too much on big moves and lifts and not enough on the actual dance. Carrie Ann loved the lifts, but points out that, by taking his shirt off, he exposed his loosey-goosey arm movements. Julianne agrees, but adds that she's single now. Naughty girl, but I can't really blame her.

Judges' Scores: 7+7+7=21

That's unfortunate. I'd have given them an 8, with the extra point for Brant taking his shirt off. I hope the fact that the audience vote is from last week (when he was the best) offsets his low score tonight.

Valerie Harper and Tristan MacManus: Viennese Waltz

Valerie knows she was a disaster last week but wants to forget it and move on. This is definitely a better style for her. She still seems a bit lost at times, but there are some solid moments and it's definitely a slight improvements. It's pleasant and beautiful. Julianne points out that it's much better when Valerie and Tristan are together rather than having her off on her own.

Judges' Scores: 6+6+6=18

Leah Remini and Tony Dovolani: Cha-Cha-Cha

Leah's idea to get better scores is for Tony to show off some skin and let her sit down and do fewer moves. He refuses to listen. I have to give her a ton of credit, because she was shaking her cha-cha all over the ballroom and did a pretty great job at making it sexy. Carrie Ann loves the face but needs better movements. Julianne and Bruno Tonioli have a bit of a fight over footwork and shoes. It's all very constructive and great feedback.

Judges' Scores: 8+8+8=24

I'm kind of bored with the judges agreeing with the scores.

Corbin Bleu and Karina Smirnoff: Paso Doble

Karina's strategy is to make it as technical and traditional as possible with no gimmicks. It seems like a waste to do that the one week Len Goodman isn't here. The actual routine is mesmerizing. Corbin is powerful and dominant. He goes shirtless, which would be more special if Brant hadn't already done it, but Corbin is damn fine in his own right and it fits with the Paso so it doesn't feel as shameless. The whole thing is just kind of flawless. The judges all point out some very minor hip problems, but they agree that it was brilliant and near perfect.

Judges' Scores: 9+9+9=27

Seriously, they are now actively looking for ways to avoid giving out 10s.

Nicole "Snooki" Polizzi and Sasha Farber: Jive

It's a cheerleader theme, which brings up Snooki's history with anorexia when she'd only eat one salad, cracker or grape per day, if that. The dance feels kind of lazy, even though it's quite energetic and they're jumping all around. Also, the cheerleader outfit makes Snooki look really small. Like, she looks like she's an actual little person. Carrie Ann regrettably brings up Len calling Snooki a "pocket rocket." The judges criticize her wayward knees and T-Rex arms.

Judges' Scores: 8+8+8=24

Of course they all agree. I think that deserved at least one 7.

Christina Milian and Mark Ballas: Foxtrot

She's very worried about going home because she was in jeopardy last week, even though that didn't actually mean she was at the bottom. As always, their routine is too stylized for my taste. It opens behind prison bars and then proceeds. It's the polar opposite of what Karina did with Corbin, because everything about the choreography seemed to distract from Christina. Julianne gives voice to my primary complaint, that Mark is a spotlight hog.

Judges' Scores: 8+8+8=24

Why do we even have three judges? I'm not sure, but has there ever been an entire night of DWTS where the judges agreed every time?

Amber Riley and Derek Hough: Tango

She had a knee injury this week, so she's also been struggling with a lack of rehearsal time this week, having to just watch. The routine is solid and consistent with the two connected almost the whole time. It's severe and precise, which is just what you want in a Tango. There's a cute moment where Derek tries to bribe his sister with $10, bringing up all kinds of sibling rivalries about Barbie heads. But they all love it.

Judges' Scores: 9+9+9=27

I feel like if Derek wasn't Julianne's brother, she may have dusted off the 10 paddle. Just kidding, that paddle clearly doesn't exist.

Bill Engvall and Emma Slater: Samba

Last week during dress rehearsal, Bill bumped Emma's head, and he took it harder than she did. For the Samba, it involves a little more hip action than he's used to. He tries hard, and it's funny in certain places, but it's pretty sloppy. He seemed to have fun and it was entertaining, but not as good as I've come to expect from him. Julianne thinks he's like her dad, and she loves dancing with her dad. Bruno said it had everything you want in a Samba, "except timing and rhythm." HA!

Judges' Scores: 7+7+7=21

So the judges were in agreement for every single performance. Yawn. Also, there's no way Bill and Brant deserved the same score.

The Results
Right after Bill and Emma's scores, Tom gives some somewhat surprising news.

Bill and Emma are...SAFE

Wow, way to take away some of the drama. I feel like this bodes poorly for Brant, but I hope not.

These couples are also SAFE:

Elizabeth and Val
Leah and Tony
Corbin and Karina
Amber and Derek
Jack and Cheryl
Christina and Mark

So the three IN JEOPARDY:

Brant and Peta
Valerie and Tristan
Snooki and Sasha

Snooki and Sasha are...SAFE

Valerie Harper and Tristan MacManus are ELIMINATED!

Whew, that seems fair. Sure, her story is amazing and inspiring, but getting to dance for four weeks seems like enough of a gift. She gets a standing ovation and she's so incredibly positive and happy to have had this opportunity. Tristan adds that meeting Valerie has changed his life for the better, which is sweet as well.

She had a remarkable run, but I appreciate that the worst three dancers were the first three couples eliminated this season. That restores my faith in democratic voting.

That does it for another week of impressive dances where just about everyone got either a 24 or a 27. Julianne Hough was fun and offered constructive criticism, even though the scoring was embarrassingly consistent.

Next week on Dancing with the Stars, the couples will celebrate the most memorable years and moments of their lives. It's fine that Valerie won't be around, because I suspect we saw her best year unfold over the last month.

The Leaderboard
27: Elizabeth Berkley, Corbin Bleu, Amber Riley
24: Jack Osbourne, Leah Remini, Nicole "Snooki" Polizzi, Christina Milian
21: Brant Daugherty, Bill Engvall
18: Valerie Harper

Amazing Race Oct.5th show intereresting is what I have to say

Well gave Amazing Race a try last night it was okay I do like the show what I don't like is some of the contestance they get on there well then again most of them get a few folks on the show who are less than to be desired or can't stand :) ha ha!

Anyhow, watched it last night and have to say I got bored never have I really gotten bored watching the show but then when the two guys got to Phil at the check in then started to argue because the one forgot to pay the taxi drive OMG are these two for REAL?? Is production trying to get these people to this crap on here now? Please tell me they are not please?? I mean we see it on Big Brother every season use to that why not sure and Survivor well they don't do it as much as I have seen not as much as Big Brother and CBS if they are doing this now as there "NEW THING" On all there reality shows OMG WHY? Is my question to be honest !

Oh yes the guy who kept telling the person with him see I don't know the relationships of the players most of them anyhow due to was just catching the show last night not to much of whom every one was.. Sorry not my usual of not knowing lol but he annoyed me kept telling the other guy to be quiet he wasn't going to talk while they were on the bikes he was using his air OMG REALLY I about died laughing at that one new one on me!

So on that note gotta run but thank you to all of you who read this blog of mine and I know sometimes I run sentences together and blab on on and on ha ha but I get caught up in the moment to sometimes then again I figure most will get it anyhow I hope..

Thanks all have a great day or evening where ever in the world you may live

Colton Cumbie: I'm Too Emotional for Survivor

Colton Cumbie

Monty Brinton/CBS

In 2012, Colton Cumbie was one of the biggest villains Survivor had ever seen. Often dismissive to his fellow tribe mates, he made bigoted and cruel remarks throughout the show before being medically evacuated with symptoms of appendicitis. (Or so we thought. Host Jeff Probst now claims that Cumbie was faking his illness and simply wanted to quit.)

Returning to play Survivor: Blood vs. Water, Cumbie made it to Day 7 before quitting the game, bursting into tears and saying, "I don't want to be here." A visibly angry Probst told Cumbie, 22, that he was being "selfish" before allowing him to leave Survivor forever.

Cumbie now talks to PEOPLE about his haters, his regrets, and his surprising new job.

Colton, why did you quit?
Growing up as a young gay person in the South, I need to have some control of my environment. I was never physically hurt growing up, but that was a real possibility, especially in a highly religious place. So one of my things is that I need to be in control, or else I feel vulnerable. I'm like a caged animal, and I react. I'm not like that in real life. But when I'm on Survivor, I don't have control of what's going on in the game. Producers have the control, and that's very hard for someone like me.



But this was your second time playing. You knew all about the loss of control.
I did, but I really thought I was going to play with [my fiancé] Caleb. It never once crossed my mind that we would be on different tribes. He keeps me grounded and centered, and I thought that he would help take the edge off.

You wanted to redeem yourself, but it didn't happen. What has the reaction been?
I have met some people who detested me. Like they want me to die. It's ironic; people call me out for bullying, and they bully me in doing that. Or they want to call me a bigot, yet use slurs about sexuality. I get that there are people who legitimately don't like me with good reason, but there are some people who have really shown their own bigotry as they talk about me.

On social media, there are people who have tried out for the show multiple times, and they are very mad at you for squandering your Survivor experience. In essence, you took the place of someone who really wanted to be there. What do you say to them?
If someone wins the lottery, it's their prerogative what they do with the money – if they want to spend it all on hookers and blow, that's their business. This was my opportunity. I'm sorry that they didn't cast you on Survivor, but that's not my fault. Maybe you should become more interesting.

You understand how that comes across, right?
I'm being funny. This is who I am and I'm not changing. You all b––––ed and said you wouldn't watch the show if I was on it, and yet you watched, anyway. Leave me alone.

You just voluntarily went on a reality show. You can't do that and then say, "Leave me alone." Surely you knew you were going to face some scrutiny.
I get that. But people do like me. When people meet me, they like me. You all don't know me, because you have only seen the edited version about me. I hung out with [iconic villainess] Jerri Manthey, and she told me, "I wanted to hate you, but I can't. You're funny."

So, clear this up. Were you really sick when you left the show the first time?
Yes, I was. I'll show you my hospital records if you want to see them. Why would I have quit? I was running the show. I had an Immunity Idol. I would never have quit.

You mean, Jeff Probst was wrong?
I don't know what Jeff's deal is. He told me he had fought for me to be on the show, and now he's saying he didn't want me to be on the show. Jeff just says whatever Jeff wants to say. But I didn't quit the show.

What are your regrets?
I regret how I treated people the first time I played the game. Some of that venom has been held over from One World. I don't think I was that bad this season. I wasn't mean and vindictive.

But you started to create chaos and tell a lot of lies.
But that was strategy. Where do you draw the line between being mean and having good gameplay? I wasn't going to float around. I went into Survivor to be an aggressive, strategic player.

What went wrong?
I'm way too emotional to play that game. I have the strategic mind for it, but my emotions rule me. The lesson I learned is that I should have tried out for Big Brother. People could have seen several sides of me.

Um, but what about the live feeds?
Laughs. Holy crap. What would I have said on a live feed? That could've been bad.

What are you up to next?
I'm in school right now and really enjoying that. I'm studying Elementary Education and working in a kindergarten. I love all my kids. I'm also planning a wedding, and we'll buy some land and build a house. Survivor is a chapter of my life that is closed, and I'm ready to move on.

Quitter twice WOW and Faked the first time HOW SAD! Survivor Blood VS Water

Wow read that Colton quit that is not a shocker really but to quit like he did and faked the first time!! When he was on the show he faked being sick how low is that IMO!!! I guess he quit last night and now is trying to tell his side of the story I wonder if his fiancée broke up with him called it off one will wonder now ..

Rachelle lost her game last night and got sent home after losing on Redemption Island I was rooting for her to to be honest.. I don't care much for Gervase Peterson niece I know I am sure I spelled his name wrong but I can't think of his nieces name Marissa Peterson thats RIGHT LOL! Okay had to look it up geesh lol! Marrissa rubs me the wrong way don't know why but I think after Gervase's little dance he did last week over his tribe winning put a target on his nieces back what an IDIOT Sorry but that was dumb of him to do IMO

Anyhow, hope everyone is having awesome day or evening where ever in the world you may live

Survivor & first to go ! I was so bumbed :(

My heart went out to Rupert's wife last night she held herself strong though and Rupert is a good guy IMO to do what he did for her so she could play the game now that is a true loyal and loving husband IMO!

It was sad to see Rupert go and to be the first to go then they voted out Rachel last night well you know I hope when she comes back into the game she tears some of those who voted her out UP :))

I think some of the guys are being IDIOTS JMO now but one in most right now who said he wants to change?? I have seen it briefly but Colton Colton Colton come on was some of that acting or was that for real ? I hope the rest of the game you show that you can be a true young man and play the game but don't act like you did last time please!

So on that note I will chat more later thanks for reading hope your day or evening goes great where ever in the world you may live :)

Survivor I am ready for tonights episode are you!!??

I am so ready for tonights episode can't wait heard and seen from previews that Colton who said he was going to "change" did not last long how sad is that! I did in some ways knew it would not last long or its production telling him to act up as we all know Big Brother liked to do it so why not all the reality series right? JMO but hey maybe its the guys nature to be like that who knows really we shall see maybe its an act but I doubt it to if you're doubting that thought as well :)

 'The Voice' Premiere Recap: The Fastest 4-Chair Turnaround Ever
Monday, September 23, 2013

Esther Gim
Contributing Writer, BuddyTV

Fresh off their Emmy win on Sunday night, The Voice has returned for season 5! Original coaches Cee Lo Green and Christina Aguilera are back with the two coaches who'll never leave, Adam Levine and Blake Shelton.

Because Blake is the reigning champ three times over, it's no secret that this season isn't about who wins, but about Blake losing. But he wants you to know that he's just as passionate about cultivating a winner than ever.

The Voice Wins at 2013 Emmy Awards >>>

Christina wants to convince us that the show isn't about the coaches winning, but it's the talent. Could've fooled me. She's also looking for the whole package, while Cee Lo says he's looking for something different and Blake wants to mix it up this year, meaning he does not want an all-country team?

The coaches perform "I Love Rock and Roll." For a bunch of musicians, they could try showing off some artistry and change up a song once in awhile. Just saying.

Welcome to night one of the blind auditions!

Kat Robichaud ("I've Got the Music in Me" by Kiki Dee Band)

This experienced performer was raised on '70s glam rock, but it's her husband I notice because he's the complete opposite of that genre. I mean, he's got a sweater over a collared shirt and a bow tie! I hope she makes it so we can see more bow ties. Her inspiration is her father, who passed away and loved The Voice.

Kat definitely rocks out, complete with high kicks in her platform shoes. There's a roughness to her voice that sounds like she has a cold (I don't mean that as a diss). She gets everyone but Adam to turn around.

She belongs on Team Cee Lo, and that's who she goes with. He says her voice is fresh and raw and that he was set on fire.

Caroline Pennell ("Anything Could Happen" by Ellie Goulding)

This adorable 17-year-old is a shy and private person and only sings in private, and going up on stage for the first time is life changing. But I love her dad, who wipes his eyes with her hair.

Her voice is definitely unique, and she radiates on stage. She even giggles mid-song after Blake and Cee Lo push their buttons early on.

Blake notes the warmth in her voice, while Cee Lo is definitely pushing hard for her, saying the quirk works for him. She must've liked what she heard because she goes with Team Cee Lo, who already quickly picks up the first two singers.

Donna Allen ("You Are So Beautiful" by Joe Cocker)

At 54, she's the oldest contestant this season. She was the first African-American cheerleader for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, and she was even part of the Miami Sound Machine and toured with Gloria Estefan for nine years, but gave up her dream to raise her son. Well, she definitely still thinks it's the '90s because she's sporting an impressive side pony with purple streaks and a sparkly jacket.

I thought Christina and Adam were crazy for pushing their buttons after she gets out six words because while she's strong, she doesn't sound special. But then, wow, there's power and control and this raspy scratch to her voice. Plus, she definitely makes me feel like I'm beautiful to her.

It's a fight between Adam and Christina, who says Donna's voice is like the heavens opening up. Adam says he felt like it was already the end of the season, and I could see why he'd think that. Christina, unfortunately, doesn't stand a chance because Donna wants not just a piece of Team Adam but all of Adam. It's a little astonishing but definitely hilarious as he hugs her and she locks her legs around him.

Jake Worthington ("Keep Your Hands to Yourself" by Georgia Satellites)

This 17-year-old from Texas has the motto of "Not much to it, besides to do it." He's having fun and dancing around, but I don't have a good feeling about this. It's all a good time, but the singing just isn't there.

Indeed, no one turns around. Blake points out how Jake ran out of breath and he didn't take a big, vocal challenge. He's super apologetic, though, but he shouldn't be. He's not going to miss him.

Matthew Schuler ("Cough Syrup" by Young the Giant)

A bagel shop worker, he writes songs to memorize ingredients in orders. But he doesn't give us an example, which is a bummer.

This is the fastest four-chair turnaround in history. But it's definitely not a perfect vocal. There are some unnecessary runs, and at one point, he strains his voice. But those definitely are things that the coaches can work with him on.

All the coaches pitch hard, like Blake saying Matthew can make him lucky with his wife if he joins his team. And he joins Team Christina! Wow, she wins the first four-chair battle of the season, and she even says she didn't think she'd get him.

Nic Hawk ("Hit 'Em Up Style (Oops!)" by Blu Cantrell)

He calls himself a mix of Amy Winehouse and Jessie J, but the male version. He's been in 25 musicals in seven years. That is a ton. He moved back home to help his family after his stepfather of 15 years just moved out without any notice. Now he works as a hip-hop dance instructor and bartender, and helps his younger brother, who has epilepsy.

This is a hard song to sing because there are just so many darn words! But he's really getting the words out effortlessly. I like his tone more when he's able to hold out his notes, but that's just a matter of song choice.

As he contemplates between Adam and Cee Lo, Nic says he might not focus with Adam because he's so good looking. Ha! This prompts Adam to hide his face behind his card and Blake to give a standing ovation. Nic must focus now because he joins Team Adam.

Matthew Brea ("I Want You Back" by the Jackson 5)

Before Matthew takes the stage, we get clips of three young singers who definitely sound their age and don't get any chairs to turn around. And now we have 15-year-old Matthew. He's like an excited puppy, it's adorable. When he was seven, he lost his brother, who was two, and he had to sing at his funeral. Dang. I'm kind of getting a bad feeling about this as Matthew says there are no second chances. Please don't break this kid's heart, coaches.

He definitely doesn't sound his age, but you can still kind of tell he's raw because he doesn't pronounce some of the words, and he's a bit pitchy, but he should definitely come back in two years.

No one turns around. Ugh, this is horrible. He's just a kid! Cee Lo says he thought he was 40. He points out that Matthew can work on the technical aspects of singing and tells him to never give up. Matthew tells the story of losing his brother, and Cee Lo comes backstage as the kid is crying. Cee Lo shares the fact that he sang at his mom's funeral in 1995, and at this point, I can't even make out the television because my eyes can't see through my tears.

Shelbie Z ("Here for the Party" by Gretchen Wilson)

She loves hair and she loves pageants, which she's won 45 of. Holy cow! That's a lot of crowns. She talks about how she stopped competing in pageants for five years when she was 10 because kids teased her since she wasn't "pretty enough" and she was a bigger girl. Ugh, so mean.

She's a powerful country singer, but the more she's singing, the more she reminds me of a former Team Blake singer. I just had to look her up again. Well, no wonder she sounds familiar, she sang the exact same song as Liz Davis did during her blind audition for season 3. They are the same singer, but I give the edge to Liz in this version.

That's not to take anything away from Shelbie. She gets everyone to turn around except Adam. There's pain and anger behind her voice, and I'm going to like her because of her attitude. But I can't get the comparison out of my head.

In a move that surprises no one, she goes with Team Blake.

Josh Logan ("Too Close" by Alex Clare)

He's 33. Had a kid at 16. He's a rock singer. Trying to support his family.

It's a decent performance, a good/great performance, but I'm not terribly excited over it. Like he could be the token rocker of the season.

He does get everyone except Cee Lo to turn around. Blake declares his man crush on Josh. Christina pitches wanting to experiment with a different singer, and he goes with Team Christina! She's really winning these battles tonight.

Delvin Choice ("Closer" by Ne-Yo)

He's known as the singing barista at Starbucks (they must be happy with the product placement they payed nothing for). He declares that there's been no one like him and that Cee Lo might be jealous. Um, he's definitely confident. But can he bring it?

I like his bravado because his tone is smooth, and Cee Lo wants to push his button but doesn't.

No one turns around. Man, I definitely don't think he should've had that fate. Cee Lo makes a good point that the quickness of the song didn't lend itself to showing off because you're just expecting a good time, rather than an impressive vocal performance.

James Wolpert ("Love Interruption" by Jack White)

He's a computer nerd who quit college at Carnegie Mellon, of all places, to pursue his singing career. He works at Apple. (Wow, first a Starbucks worker and now Apple?)

I really, really like his voice. It's easy on the ears, and he builds to this amazing bravado and then soars. I didn't think he had it in him! He definitely does this already great song justice. All four chairs turn around, although Adam and Cee Lo are first, then Blake pushes his button in the middle of the song and Christina finally comes to her senses by the last note.

As the final singer of the night, all the coaches throw everything at James. Blake says there's so much character in his voice, that he's a complete vocalist. He also says he expected someone with long hair and a beard. Ha. Christina goes the Pittsburgh route, where she grew up and he lives right now. Adam jumps in to say his BFF is from Pittsburgh. He also tries to compare Blake's three wins to the NBA that James must've understood because he goes with Team Adam!

So after night one of the blind auditions, Adam has three singers, Cee Lo and Christina have two and Blake has his lone country singer.

The Voice returns Tuesday at 8pm on NBC for the second night of blind auditions.
