So You Think You Can Dance


Sooo I am officially angry at So You Think You Can Dance, which I will now be referring to as SYTYCD (spelling that whole name out is tiresome). I don’t like when judges only keep certain people because they like them for whatever reason. I get it that you’ll always have your favorites but this is someone’s career on the line, this may be someone’s only shot. I just feel like this new judging idea SUCKS and the judges already know who they want to go home when they find out who’s in the bottom. They don’t even give them a chance to redeem themselves. There’s no way Brandon was worst than Dareian, no way. Every style Brandon does, he excels at, even though he’s a stepper. Dareian hasn’t had a good performance since the show started. Then Amber, who had one of the best performances this week, goes home? Like, really? Really? I’m just, I can’t. Honestly, I love this show but I don’t know if I’ll be tuning in next week. I’m not sure yet. It’s not just the unfairness, it’s the rushed feeling all episode long since they have to get so much into one show and the lack of actual all-around talent, I mean talent as in being able to do a style other than your own, the weirdness and confusion from the dances, I think this may be my least favorite season. And if things continue down this road, I just might have to let this show go. I never thought I would have to say that. Well, the show is going on a 2 week hiatus after this week, so hopefully I’ll be over it by then. 

So I guess I’ll just keep this one short because honestly I don’t know what to talk about. This week starts my fitness plan to workout daily and my 30 days of style challenge. I’m going to start actually putting effort into what I wear and start posting my outfits daily onto my tumblr daily. This is what happens when you’re bored at work, you come up with these stupid ideas. No turning back now. It starts Wednesday and last until the 30th, so it should be interesting. Until then, it’s been real.

Directv Drama


Well my last post was like what, the 3rd? That’s ridiculous! I guess I can be like every other writer and blame it on writer’s block. I’m not sure what happened to me, I just don’t know what to write about anymore. But that has all changed. 

So if you are a fellow DirecTv subscriber than you’re probably reading this in anger also. As I'm sure everyone is already well aware, DirecTV and Viacom are having a little beef and the casualty is all my favorite channels. I’m talking MTV, BET, Vh1 (y’all know I love my VH1), Comedy Central, TV Land, Nickelodeon, Teen Nick, the list goes on. Okay so I'm just going to be honest to you guys because I don’t want it to affect our relationship, but the last couple channels I don’t really care about. I'm mostly upset about MTV and VH1, and BET a little bit. For a rumor that may have lasted only one night before they came to an agreement, this is lasting quite a long time. I've already missed Hollywood Exes, Love and Hip Hop ATL (I will not claim watching this show anywhere else so this has to stay between me and you), Awkward, Real World, I mean the list goes on and on. My sister and I were having a discussion about this yesterday and while I agree to blame both Directv and Viacom, I think that more blame should be put on Directv. It just doesn’t make sense that Viacom would only want more money from Directv, why wouldn’t Verizon Fios, Comcast, Dish, and all the other TV companies be forced to drop these channels also? I do see Viacom asking for more and Directv being the only company that didn’t want to pay up. To be 100% honest, I don’t care whose to blame, I just want my channels back. I told my mom, we have no problem taking our business elsewhere. 

Well, I’ve been trying to catch up on everything but haven’t finished an episode of anything yet. I started watching So You Think You Can Dance but got halfway through and needed to get to bed, watched like 10 minutes of Miss Advised (which is actually a really cute show) and then didn’t finish that one either. One show I did finish though, Bad Girls Club. I never thought I would say this about this show but this is just too much fighting. I'm like Can’t We All Just Get Along?! These girls are, if nothing else, hilarious. I just can’t get over Erica and that cranberry juice. That was tooooo funny! Just how she explained getting the red cup and after she takes her nap, I was just like wow. I gotta give it to Mehgan though ( that is such an ugly way to spell that) she’s a fighter, man. But the only thing is her mouth is reckless. She goes too far and says too much. And then the one girl with the fried and died blonde hair that’s in desperate need of protein, hot oil, and every other kind of treatment to bring that thing back to life. I'm just like, girl get your life. You know you wrong to let your hair get that bad, that’s just embarrassing. Then the other girl, Julie, whose obviously living in Lala Land. That’s the only definition I can come up with to explain why her nose is so high up in the air. The way she talks about people, you would think she was Kate Middleton or something. I will say though, I feel for Rima, although I do think she’s running for the Worst Mother of the Year award. I don’t have kids so I don’t know what it’s like to be a mother, but I know that you can't cry about leaving your child when you left them for Bad Girls Club.  Like, that’s not a legitimate excuse. There is nothing that Bad Girls Club can offer you that will help you to be a better mother. But, at least she’s pretending to act like being without him is killing her. I’ll give her that one. Season after season, this show just keeps getting worse, just keeps letting me down. 

 Well I'm sure I’ll have plenty more to post about next week because Viacom and Directv are gonna get it together and come to an agreement (I’m speaking it into existence). For now, this is all I’ve got.

Until the next time, maybe the next show, I’ll see you when I see you.

A Bit of a Catch Up


It’s been over a week since I last posted. That’s a long time!  I have no excuse, all I can say is I will work hard to make sure it never happens again… Hopefully that gets me off the hook for awhile right?

Ok so, I went against all my moral beliefs and decided to watch a few episodes of Dance Moms. I get why people see this show as addicting, I can dig it. What I don’t understand is how Lifetime can condone this type of behavior. This is legal child abuse at its finest or worst if you ask me. But you know what’s the craziest part of all this, I don’t blame Abby. I’m not even angry with her. I blame the moms. The fact they can live with themselves after putting their children through this kind of mistreatment is just appalling. Every week it’s an argument of how Maddie gets special treatment, but they still continue to bring their kids back week after week. No grown woman should be that fame hungry to purposely put their child in that kind of situation. I don’t even know what to say about this show anymore, or really want to say anything else, so let’s just move on. 

Well, I’m super dee duper late so I’m just going to do a review of the past two weeks on Real Housewives of New Jersey. What else is new, but I was right…again. Teresa went running back to the arms of her family after her friends betrayed her, or in the eyes of the rest of America, told her the truth. She says she wants to mend those broken relationships but anyone with half a brain knows she just doesn’t have anyone else to turn to since she doesn’t have Jacqueline and Caroline to depend on. It is kind of sad that it took this to make her realize she needs her family, but at least she got there. It’s like when someone has a drinking problem and they almost die drunk driving, so they decide that maybe they do need help. That’s the situation here. Teresa realized she should probably get back in good terms with her family, since it’s her family and everything. Last week Melissa hosted a party for the premiere of her new single on Ryan Seacrest radio show, which is a pretty big deal. At the party, Teresa and Jacqueline’s friendship finally ended. It’s situations like this that make me dislike reality TV. It’s heartbreaking to see a friendship end like that, and every time that episode airs, they have to relive that. I know this is what they signed up for but still, I do have a heart and this just might have broken it. Key word: just might. I only feed into this stuff a little bit nowadays. Even I, a devoted reality TV fan and lover, is beginning to see it’s ugliness. 

Last night I caught up on Real Housewives of New York and every episode proves me more and more right about Ramona, and the real reason she doesn’t care for Heather. She is intimidated, yeah I said it. She hates the idea that another woman on the show is successful and has a happy family. In her mind, that was her corner on the show and now, she’s got competition. Even on last night’s episode, when Carole announced her show was being picked up, Ramona feels the need to share that her wine will be sold in Target. Coincidence? I think not. They were together the whole day, why did she pick that time to share. Another thing that still strange about Ramona and Heather’s relationship is  that they are so alike, they should be best friends. I think Heather is the nicer version, but the similarities are there in plain sight. But I respect their feelings, I kinda get it. It’s that whole opposites attract, alike repel theory. Personally I say Go Heather for not inviting her, that took real guts to stand her ground like that. And to say Ramona deserves to be left home is an understatement; Ramona needs a wake up call. Do I think this will be it? Nope. You can’t be mean and expect everyone to still want you around. Doesn’t quite work like that. 

So I’ve really gotten into that new show on VH1 Hollywood Exes. You probably thought I was gonna say Love and Hip Hop ATL, didn’t you? Yeah, guess again. This show is about 5 women who were in high profile relationships and are now ex-wives to superstars. There is Andrea Kelly, who is R. Kelly’s ex wife, Jessica, who was married to Jose Consecos (I have a feeling I spelled that wrong), Sheree, who was married to Will Smith, Nicole Murphy, who was married to Eddie Murphy, and Mayte, who was married to Prince. All have children from these famous relationships except Mayte. Andrea is the biggest surprise, I must admit because I didn’t even know R. Kelly was married, let alone for like 10 years and had 3 kids. I understand the theory behind keeping their relationship out of the media but it takes a strong woman to live that kind of life. To constantly have to prove that you’re not just a groupie, you’re actually someone’s wife, I don’t think I could do it. Not too much bitter ex syndrome on this show, everyone seems like they’re trying to move forward with their life and do bigger and better things. Sheree is remarried to a former NFL player/ Pastor, Nicole Murphy is engaged to Michael Strahan, and Jessica is twice divorced, which has opened the door for her relationship with Jose to kind of rekindle, finger crossed it doesn’t. Mayte is single and no longer speaks to Prince, which is pretty sad. I couldn’t imagine marrying someone and then if it doesn’t work out you don’t even keep in contact. She hired a matchmaker, who was more of a criticizer if you ask me. She had all these strange ideas and thoughts about Mayte’s home, most of which were outrageous. Mayte is doing the right thing, she’s going to give her one chance to set her up and see how it goes, which is a great idea. She just really seems like she needs some happiness in her life. One thing I can say about Andrea, she is always crying. Maybe because I usually lack emotion, I'm just a little annoyed by it. It doesn’t consume the show so I can still watch. 

That’s it for now. Seriously it took me like a week to get this done, I just kept getting stuck. I just don’t be knowing what to say no more. But I got past it and I'm back in my groove, I think. 

Well until next time, au revoir me amores.
