Just finished watching Survivor, and my heart has sunk to my navel. Not because Cecilia got booted, but because of the scenes-from-next-week part, when they showed Cao Boi stealing a chick from its nest. I am heartbroken.
I’m also feeling sick because the monkey has been in a bad mood today.
So cranky. Must be teething. My heart is sunk. To my navel.
My first time watching Grey’s Anatomy right now is NOT HELPING! You said this wasn’t a hospital drama! You said so I can handle it! First show I watch, and there’s a car-crashed couple, an abandoned newborn (!!!), a flu epidemic. Then, I give it a second chance — next episode at 9pm: lung cancer and a f-ing tree trunk in a very awake-looking 14-year-old’s stomach? Excuse me!? Not a hospital drama? Bitches!! Heart sinking lower…. Not happy right now. Not at all. But, check…it.
SURVIVOR: HOTTIES, PROSPECTIVE SHOWMANCE, FLIRTIE GIRLIE, NOXIOUS DADDIES….
Leave it to Survivor to cast the hottest Asian man on. earth….LOVE!
Flirting with…: NATE (sweeeet)
Parvati’s goal is to entagle Nate in her "web," and "suck his blooood"! When he caught a humungous octopus, which was sad for vegetarian me, but what a beautiful creature, Parvati says flirtatiously, "that’s a lot of meat…you need it….you could probably eat that whole thing." Ooo baby, that’s hott.
NOXIOUS DADDY:
Jonathan is not that good a player. Why would he think he could influence the free-thinking Flicka? Ridiculous. He’s playing the patronizing daddy card, and it’s not going to work. But, it worked. He managed to sway Flicka (for how long, though?) and get her to vote out Cecilia, saving Becky’s butt. Thank goodness he got through to her: we need Becky to stick around so she can hook up with Yul.

AMERICA’S NEXT TOP MODEL, BABY!
Megan — OUT.
But, that’s niether here nor there. MONIQUE! What is UP with that girl?
She is OFF THE CHARTS! The girl lost it when she was eliminated from the reward challenge — hogging the phone for 3 hours and 31 minutes….Biatch! And, what did she do to Melrose? Something involving a wet towel and rubbing her hands on Melrose’s face and some terribly awful "rotten pumpkin" stench — the exact details of which were conspicuously undisclosed….REOWWWW. And, eeww!
Second. These makeovers were très disappointing. Of all the seasons of ANTM, these makeovers were the least dramatic. But, awesome, the girls were the most pissy about it evah! These girls bitched and moaned about their nothing makeovers like we’ve never seen before on ANTM. The only one who had anything to bitch about was Jaeda, because they did this to her:
Brutal….

GOSSIP GOSSIP GOSSIP!
CLIVE ADMITS TO PLASTIC SURGERY
He won’t admit what he’s had plastic surgery on…but that’s the best damn plastic surgery I’ve seen in my life because he is PERFECTION…. I know this isn’t big gossip, but…anything for a picture of Clive! Sighhhhh….LOVE. AM IN IT. BIG TIME. OY.
WHEN BAD DRESSES HAPPEN TO GOOD PEOPLE

Honestly, this dress remarkably resembles the dress I wore to my Bat Mitzvah party. No kidding….What was she thinking?
HOTTEST CAST POSSIBLE…THE OTHER BOLEYN GIRL
Eric Bana, Natalie Portman…SCARLETT! I will definitely be hiring a baby-sitter for this 2007 release, The Other Boleyn Girl, which is based on a novel by Phillippa Gregory, about two strong Boleyn
sisters competing for the love of King Henry
VIII. Uch, who cares what it’s about. It’s total eye candy. I highly doubt Natalie will be wearing that purple number with her 16th century coif in the movie, though, huh?

BEAUTIFUL ANGELINA ON THE PHONE
I thought you’d enjoy this one. She looks cute and normal. Abnormally gorgeous, as always, but normal. Apparently, she’s in the car after visiting her mama — who is currently undergoing chemotherapy.
NICHOLE’S CRAAAZY SUNGLASSES

Maybe we’ve been wrong all this time….Maybe Nicole hasn’t been getting smaller…. Maybe it’s just that her sunglasses keep getting bigger?! Ya think?
KATIE LOST HER BABY WEIGHT (GRRRRR…)
Photo c/o X17 Online.
Somebody has totally lost her pregnancy weight….In time for upcoming nuptials? Rumour says YES!
Now that I’m thoroughly depressed and anxious — i.e., now that I’ve finished watching two episodes of Grey’s Anatomy (for the first time) — I’ve decided to watch the hilarious new show Ugly Betty.
Photo c/o the Ugly Betty website.
So far so good — no young boys with trees coming out of their torsos…good sign. Best line so far?: "Killer poncho" (*walks away and gags*). Teehee. Funny.
Because you made me watch Grey’s Anatomy — and, yes, I’ll continue to watch it because Miranda Meredith and McDreamie have HOTT chemistry, and I’m rooting for McDreamie (what does Miranda Meredith even have to think about? it’s a no-brainer!!) — you have to do something for me: a) write me a nice feel-good comment; and, b) go to my other blog, and leave me a sweet, feel-good comment there, too — especially since I just got "trolled" in a very mean and x-rated way (a "troll," by the way, is a blog term for a mean anonymous comment…).
[Edit: thanks to my new friend Jeff for pointing out in a wonderfully lovely comment that I got Meredith and Miranda mixed up! I’ll get there…I’ll get there….]
THE BACHELOR STARTS MONDAY!!!!!!! Y’all made me watch Grey’s, so I’m making you watch The Bachelor! It’s in ROME this year. Beauty!
xo Haley-O
I’m as much a fan of sexy scarlett, but next to my goyl (secret girlfriend) Natalie, SJ just doesn’t shine as brightly.
AS for Katie’s lost baby weight, when you, Haley O have millions of dollars and personal trainers coming to the house, then you will lose it uber quickly as well.
Celebrity comparisons with us mere mortals are dangerous.
I don’t wanna wait, for our lives to be over……
I agree w/ the ANTM makeovers… so disppointing!
And that Monique girls gotta go.
LAURA!! — YOU MADE MY DAY! Thank you thank you thank you for your awesome comment. I’m honoured to fuel your obsession! 🙂 And, yes, I will be giving Grey’s another shot. Just for you, friend…. 🙂
Okay, Ali, CLIVE’S NOSE IS PERFECT! LOVE CLIVE’S NOSE! You just like pretty, Jude-Law-type noses because you like girlie-boys… 😉
Jeff — thanks again for the correction. Oops.
EVERYONE–I will be giving Grey’s another chance. You all conned me though — from what I can see, it’s a total “hospital drama” — fooey on you!
Kath — I’m with you! I LOVE period pieces — did you see Pride and Prejudice? It gave me renewed respect for Kiera Knightley. She was brillers in it.
Jen — Monique has the best strategy! There’s no way they’re going to boot her. She’s great TV!
Kim — I’m with you. I totally have to start reading again. Even have the Time Traveler’s Wife on my night table. Just waiting for me. But, The Bachelor et al take priority, of course….
Tuggy — I’ll give Grey a GOOD, FIGHTING chance if you do the same for Survivor. Get to it!
Am I the only one around that doesn’t watch Survivor? hmmm. Not since season 1. Greys? Gotta give it a chance Haley-O. I had corporate in town this week & freakedtheHELL out that I had dinner out last night with them & missed the 1st 1/2 of Greys – HA. And I’d wanted to watch Ugly Betty – next week!!
Tom looks horrible next to fresh & pretty Katie. So bloated around the face. OLD!!!
As for Scarlett, I’m with you. She is HOT. Also, I love a period flick (of any kind) but I read The Other Boleyn Girl and LOVED IT!!! Highly recommend it. Also The Queen’s Fool which is about (among a million other wonderful things) Elizabeth I’s court.
Plus, did you see? Shakespeare in Love is on this weekend!!! On DIVA, or something. Gotta set the PVR. Watched Sense & Sensibility until midnite last night, bawlng away. So beautiful. *sigh*
Don’t have time for a long comment now, but I wanted to tell you how much I enjoy your blog. I check for an update every day. You’re saving me tons of $$$ as I’ve now given up my US Weekly and STAR obsession. I’m thrilled that you write about all the shows I love (TAR, Survivor, ANTM, The Bachelor) – so thrilled, in fact that I’ll forgive you for not loving Grey’s. It is definately the highlight of my week.
Cheers!
The Bachelor – such a guilty pleasure – but once I start to watch I am hooked. I need to starting read books more I think?
Grey’s – Haley, I too watched it for the first time with the tree trunk…yikes! However, the chemistry between Meredith and McDreamy will definitely have me going back for more.
Survivor – I know they tried to make us think that Parvati was flirting but I really didn’t get it…was the octopus comment supposed to mean he was a big guy and needed a lot of meat to feed his muscles or that he was a total pig? Not hot.
ANTM – I can NOT stand Monique. So catty. So bitchy. But SO fun to watch!
Bachelor – I’ll give it one more try. Very dissappointed last time…zzzzzzzzzz.
he. i caught the miranda thing this morning too 😉
i have so many things to say. yikes.
a)if clive was getting plastic surgery…he should have done something with his nose.
b) Katie looks awesome. she really lost ALL her baby weight.
c)Ugly Betty was great. i’m lovin’ it
d)i thought parvati’s flirting was really awful. it was like 6th grade flirting. yikes!
e)monique on model??? she’s insane! did you see everyone’s faces when they kept her? they were NOT pleased.
Re: Grey’s
1. Just so you’re clear, Meredith is the young doctor flirting/sleeping with McDreamy. Miranda is Dr. Bailey, the short woman who is the boss to Meredith (and all the other younglings).
2. All the episodes have trauma of some sort (they’re surgeons). But, if you’ve got the stories down, it becomes incidental. You should try catching up, even watching Season 1 on DVD (email me if you don’t know anyone w/ a copy).
Re: Survivor
Aitu did what I figured they would. Take the two groups that had three people (Raro and Puka) and pick off the two remaining groups. If it gets to the point where Ozzy and Sundra leave, then the original four (Jon, Candace, Yul, Becky) can get Cao Boi and Jessica.
Raro is more complex. You have the Hiki group of 3, then three groups of two each. Hiki can pick their partners, then pick off the remainders. Or, the six remaining will see the dominance and go after Hiki first.
