I love good TV

“Honey, if I got paid in quarters, I’d be doing something very wrong.” Streetwalker on Desperate Housewives, when Susan asked her for change for a public phone.

Haha! This is one show that makes me laugh out loud, no matter what the neighbours may think. Great show, great cast, and brilliant one-liners. And under it all, a dark undercurrent of secrets that runs through every suburb in every city.

Darn, it’s pre-empted next week so I’ll have to wait 2 weeks for the next episode. Ish ish!

Rob and Amber. Ewwww. I don’t like Rob cos he was sneaky on Survivor, and he sent Lex off, poor loyal Lex. I hope they don’t win Amazing Race. I don’t think they deserve another million dollars. One chance at the big money is all anyone should get. After all, that’s what they did on Survivor All-Stars. They voted off the past winners like Tina and Richard Hatch, because other people should have a chance. Live by the sword, die by the sword.

I already have my American Idol candidate. It’s Anthony Fedorov! I think he’s this season’s John Stevens. Same age, same slightly nerdy/geeky look, and the unexpected entry. And I think he’s really cute too! When he sings I melt. And if he doesn’t make it to the final 12, there’s still Constantine Maroulis. He’s cool! So so cool. I really have had enough of the soul and RnB singers *cough*Fantasia*cough*. A rock singer would inject something new into this series (not that they don’t keep updating it already).

My Manhunt contestant won! I watched the episode where they were stalked by a paparazzo and where Tyler or Ty or something like that got booted off. I thought Jon Jonsson was Hawaiian or something, because he had that exotic Asian look but a Western name. Keanu Reeves’s dad is a Hawaiian, so I thought that might have accounted for Jon. But no! His father is Icelandic (hence the name) and his mother is Thai. Wow! More proof that offspring of mixed marriages usually turn out very good-looking.

I’m not going to watch Survivor:Palau though. I’m bored of the series. I couldn’t even be bothered to watch Vanuatu, and I usually watch the finales. I honestly prefer The Amazing Race, because it goes around the world so it’s like a travelogue, and the tasks are really creative (unlike Fear Factor where they’re just plain gross). I’m waiting to see if a family team (parent-child, siblings) will win. If I’m not wrong, so far it’s been only couples (dating and married) and Flo and Zach who come under friends. Reichen and Chip are my all-time favourite because they bolstered the visibility of committed gay couples. Yes I am a gay-rights activist. It fits in nicely with my liberal principles.

Now to sit back and wait for the gay-bashing or gay-loving (as opposed to gay loving) to begin.
