Joe’s Dead, oh noes!

The whole storyline with Joe dieing in Coronation Street is stupid – I am glad he’s dead because he was always a useless fool, but it’s all just too much. Too many coincidences and silly mistakes by Gail – I mean like she didn’t know he’d taken out that life insurance policy behind her back and that the police just happened to find it.

 

Are these people crazy?

I can’t get my head around the villains decision at all, maybe my view is clouded by the fact I detest Parvati/her game style and the fact I desperately don’t want this to be Micronesia v 2.0 but – really? really?

Vote her out for Christs sake, they are all aware of how she plays the game, they are all aware she already has a few people under her thumb and can be very persuasive and they are aware she’s going to hook back up with James/Amanda/Cirie who they are also aware are currently running the game over on the other tribe – complete 100% no brainer, surely?

Voting out Randy who has no friends on either tribe and isn’t known for being a great player because he’s weak? Well maybe he is but so are some of the others physically – Danielle, Courtney etc but it’s not like they have been losing – they’ve won 3 out of 4 (is it?) challenges.

Just makes no sense to me at all and I am even tempted to call producer shenanigans!

 

The Amazing Race is back!

I just got done watching The Amazing Race premiere. I am not that well travelled and geography isn’t my strongest subject but I had to roll my eyes when Jordan asked for tickets to China because that’s where she thought Santiago was, doh.

Love love love this show even after 16 seasons, but I find myself running into the same age old problem season after season – it makes me green with envy and crave an exotic holiday adventure of my own!

Of course I’d never be able to go on The Amazing Race and would be much more suited to an all inclusive Tunisia or Greece trip instead. I like the idea of adventure but not the realities of it. I would definitely not be happy if I couldn’t lounge around by a pool, visit the shops and have all my meals cooked for me.

I’m not high maintenance, I just like nice things ;)

 

Biggest Loser Masterclass

I am not sure how much I like the new Masterclass episode on The Biggest Loser Australia, I really like the idea behind it because the show doesn’t usually offer such information – but honestly I prefer the drama, I’d rather see the walk than 20 minutes of Shannan and Michelle showing us how to strengthen our core.

I suppose it doesn’t help that most of the information so far is pretty basic – do this stretch, take this vitamin, don’t eat too much oil etc.

Still love the show though :)

 

Take me Out

There doesn’t seem to be any decent dating shows on at the moment, I like to see Free People looking for love!

Oh wait, there is Take me Out that airs on a Saturday nights – that’s some serious cheese right there – “No likey, No lighty”.
Some of the girls on it are very annoying and clearly only there to get their faces on the TV though and most of the men are really annoying also, though I suppose you have to be uber confident to put yourself out there like they do!

 

It’s the heroes vs the villains

Thrilled at the first boot, Sugar was one of my least favourite players ever and I definitely felt she didn’t deserve to be there – I’d actually forgotten why I disliked her so much (curse this memory of mine) but it didn’t take too long for her to remind me – horrible simpering mess of a woman with no game at all.

Looks like I definitely prefer the villains to the heroes, there are people on both tribes I like and dislike but I actually like most of the people others seem to hate (Coach, Randy…also love Rob and Russell but I know I am not alone there!) and find most of the heroes dull as ditch water – I definitely found myself rooting for the villains!

I hope Rob is OK, looked pretty scary (but also kinda strange how calm Jerry seemed, I am almost expecting it to have been a bluff/misleading preview!). Will be gutted if my fave player has to leave so early!

Overall great episode, I hope it’s gonna be a great season!

 

Is that a UNITARD?

Whenever most of my friend go away on vacations they stay in hotels, but my husband and I much prefer a lovely vacation rental instead. Firstly it’s often a lot cheaper for what you get out of it and we just prefer the freedom that comes with being able to do your own thing :)

Earlier, I was on Vacation Rental.org, just having a look around and a bit of a daydream about the summer when we next get to go away and I saw a commercial they have posted on their blog. It features superhero UNITARD who spends his time trying to stop people making bad choices about their own vacations.

Take a look at the vacation rental commercial for yourself here :)

 

Biggest Loser Australia is better…

…now that we are back to normal and the team that should not be named are gone. We’re back to normal editing and normal pace and it’s more like the show I know and love.

It’s still less than perfect though as we still missed out on two weeks worth of the show. They have been there for a month now, a month and we’ve only seen 5 episodes.

I usually love and adore certain contestants by now, I usually loathe some also – at this stage I still don’t even know most of their names, I don’t know who’s on which training team even.

We can never get those two weeks back :(

 

Dear Spencer, I still love yooooou!

I was random channel surfing last night and came across Spencer Smith from Bib Brother 3 on some fishing program talking about pond kits, how random can you get?

I do remember him having an interest in fishing during the show actually, but it seemed like he disappeared once the show was over so was surprised to see him on TV at all.

My word I was so in love with that guy, my first ever proper reality TV person crush :)
