Last Saturday was the Dallas Cowboy’s Cheerleaders Finale. I’d been watching it all season and was excited to find out who had finally made the real squad. Watching that show makes me really nervous because sometimes they are very hard on the girl. They always tell them what they are doing wrong and I don’t know if I would be able to take the same criticism like they do. They tell the girls when they are looking bigger, and a comment like that could bring any girl to an eating disorder. They tell them when they look bad, and then make them get make overs and fix the things that they don’t like about them. If someone told me my hair made me look like a stripper I think I’d get a little pissed or upset, but they just say these types of comments like they don’t even care about their feelings. I guess it’s important to get what you want out of a squad, but I’d be upset if someone was so mean to me! Anyway, on the last episode they send home two girls even though one of the begged to stay, which was really hard to watch. During the final walk through on the grass, they all got together and sat down on the ground to wait and hear what was going on. At the end of each practice, the woman says who she needs to see in her office and those are the ones that have a chance of going home. On this episode, she said “these are the girls I need to see in my office” and then turned the paper around and it was blank. So, everyone out there had made it. It seems like such a tough thing to do, but I bet once you finally get through it and make it it’s all worth it.

Tonight on CBS is the Victoria’s Secret Fashion show! I am very excited because I like to see some of the new things they are going to have out for the season, as are most of the women in the country, and my boyfriend and all the other men in the country are excited for other reasons I’m sure. I’ve been hearing about it all day on the radio, on TV, and it’s the first thing my boyfriend said when he came in the door. A lot of people were saying it’s one of those things that always get you in trouble. Your girl friend wants to watch it, so she makes you, and by you watching it with her she gets mad at you. I always love seeing the Diamond bra that they have every year, and I really, really want to wear it some time. That’s just one of those dreams that I know will never happen, but hey, at least I can still talk about it and envision it! So, tonight I get to sit around, eat some delicious stew, wait for it to snow, and watch a bunch of women walk around on a stage in their underwear. Looks like it’s going to be a great evening for anyone else in the world who has the same plans as me. Enjoy!

If living in a rich community with tons of rich neighbors in California is anything like Desperate House Wives, then you can count me out. I love the show, it’s dramatic and funny, but if women can really be this nosey and gross then I don’t want to be any where around them. These woman are constantly cheating on their husbands with the pool boys, being nosey in their friends lives, and treating their kids like they’re not their own. I would imagine that this show is over dramatizing how the life really is for people living the same way, but I wouldn’t be surprised if some of this drama was actually going down. I would imagine that the life of a celebrity could be some what compared to this. You never know who your true friends are, and any time you want to just talk to someone about your life then you have to deal with the constant fear of whether or not they are going to tell other people. There are tons of occurrences where people get information from their “friends” who are celebrities, and then sell the stories off to make money for themselves with out even a second though to the feelings of the other person. The women on this show seem like that, and I would never be happy if those were the only friends I could have. I think I’ll stick with the few friends I’ve had my whole life, and live in a normal neighborhood with them away from all the drama, no matter how big the house or how hot the pool boy is.

The series Desperate Housewives has been on for several years, but I have always had a hard time following it. I can never remember what nights shows come on that I want to watch and I don’t have a DVR, so I always miss them and get behind. One week, my friend and I rented all the seasons that had been out and caught ourselves up with a marathon of what all we had missed. I fell back in love with the show, but then again, of course, got behind and lost where I was. Now, I want to get back in it. I think that the invention of selling TV series on DVD is one of the awesomest things in the world, so I have the options of just continuously watching reruns and seeing if I can catch up with what’s going on right now, or I can just go and rent them and watch them all in order at one time with out commercials. My boyfriend has been getting into an HBO series called Deadwood, and he has the first three seasons on DVD now so he can watch them. But, with his situation, he also has DVR. So, since the series is HBO he can watch them any time. HBO has On Demand, and they list all their series that are going on at the time so you can watch them when ever you get the chance if you forgot to record them. He always records them, but just in case he forgot they would just have them backed up right there as an option on his DVR. So, cold weather, DVD marathon… sounds like it’s going to be a good weekend of rest for me!

The series finale of Jon and Kate Plus 8 was on last Monday. I really hope they will find away to bring the show back on TV, but for now, Jon is going to be a douche and make sure that we don’t get to see the kids anymore unless he’s making money and looks good. So, since it’s impossible to make him look good, there’s no way it’s going to happen any time soon. All day they showed the previous episodes of the series, ending with the last episode. It was pretty say, mainly just showing Jon and Kate in the interview room talking alone and saying what they thought about the show’s ending. Jon just said douche things, like how he didn’t want his kids to be on TV anymore because it was bad for “them”, and that we don’t need to money to survive. Kate just cried and said that she wished it wasn’t ending yet but it wasn’t just her choice. We might not get to see the kids again until their 18,and I had always thought I was just going to get to watch them grow up. I hope they can figure something out so that we can at least get updates on how they’re doing. And, after these past few years living how they were, those kids are going to have it rough with out all the spoiles of being on TV and getting to take trips and make the money they were making. Once Jon realizes he’s going to have to get a real job and work hard he’ll come crawling back to TLC… hopefully.

Last night I watched “The 650-pound virgin”. This was a TLC documentary on the incredible weight-loss that Davis Smith achieved through plain ol’ diet and exercise. I have to admit, the story was inspiring. David’s natural weight-loss was so remarkable in fact, that he was also offered pro-bono plastic surgeries to nip the excess skin, define his facial features, and correct years worth of abuse to his teeth. Not only was David trying to reform his health and appearance, but he was also trying to develop self-confidence and attempt of find love. With the help of his personal trainer/best friend and some dating coaches, David was able to muster up the courage to start dating. While he was admittedly tongue-tied around women, he fumbled through a few dates, but still hadn’t found a girlfriend by the end of the documentary. While the story was inspiring, I found it to be kind of off kilter. The title of the documentary, “650-pound virgin”, seemed to be emphasizing the wrong point. Yeah, it is remarkable that a man in his late 20’s and early 30’s is still a virgin these days, but shouldn’t we be awed by the fact that a guy was able to loose two baby elephants worth of weight naturally instead? Most of the documentary swirled around David Smith’s before and after pictures and his quest for love. The story didn’t go into detail about how he lost the weight or about how he was no longer on the brink of death. I mean the guy used to be 650 pounds, who is really that surprised that he’s still a virgin? I was much more shocked that Dave was able to lose the weight the old fashioned way. Wasn’t surprised that he was a virgin, not even a little bit.

I’ve never been to New York before, and I have never really intended on going there. Big cities like that aren’t my thing, I don’t like cold weather, and I don’t like mean people. And, from what I hear about New York, that sounds like a pretty good summary. The only time I enjoy being cold is when I’m on a board going down a mountain in the snow. So, one of my favorite shows to watch when I get the opportunity to catch it is Cash Cab. It’s a show where a guy drives around in a cab and picks up unknowning people who needs rides, and when hey get in lights on the roof turn on and he tells you that you get to be on the game how. I love trivia shows, and I really want to be on it someday. But, the fact that I don’t want to go to New York causes a bit of a problem for my chances of ever getting on the show. I would just love to get into a cab and have those lights turn on, I wish that they would have a different version of the show in California or Las Vegas. I frequent those places, and my chances would still be slim but at least existent. Maybe one of these days I’ll decide that all the hype about New York is worth something to me, and that I need to head up that way and check out what’s going on. But, for now, I think I’ll just stick to the warm vacations spots with the nice people.

That show Cribs on MTV makes me sick. They show these celebrities that have amazing houses and cars. They give you a pretty detailed tour of the house so you can see all the luxuries they have, and then they take you into the garage and show off all the cars they have that they don’t need. I am so jealous, because I can’t wait to have a house of my own. Though I don’t think it will be quite like these, I know that it’s going to be awesome. But, for now, I get to see celebrities that have one hit wonders and they are living in these insane houses and didn’t really have to do anything to get them. Now, that sucks, but at least they did hit it big and lucky to be able to afford the house they live in. Now, there’s a new show on MTV. Called Teen Cribs. That makes me even sicker. They show these spoiled no bodies that live with their parents in their crazy houses. I don’t understand why they have to have a show to broadcast these spoiled kids. They have game rooms with giant TVs and pool tables, tennis courts, cars they can’t even drive cause they aren’t old enough, just like the real cribs but for kids that haven’t done anything in their lives. They show some that are young celebrities that have actually done something to be famous and rich, but then they have the episodes with the kids who are just living on their parents money. Leave me alone, MTV, stop making me jealous of these little kids!

Fox must put something into it’s dramas. I don’t watch a ton of TV, but when I first moved back here to Lubbock I didn’t have a lot going on so I watched lots of the stuff. I used to be really into House, but when I moved into a TV free zone, I eventually just forgot about it. There was a while when I would use my laptop to watch it on Hulu, but I eventually weened myself off of House and took up healthy activities to fill the void. I liked that I didn’t ever watch TV. Made me feel like some sort of elitist. But THEN, I moved back here where TV is just running amok and Fox was able to drag me back into the dark side. I just can’t resist House or The Simpsons. Lie To Me can capture me for an hour if I let it get close and Glee looks like something I might like. I’m not as bad as some people I know who get bent out of shape if they don’t get to see their show, but man, I just can’t seem to stop myself once I get started. I don’t like it. Coffee is the only addiction I’ve ever had and I feel bad enough about that. I don’t need to be addicted to a raving, ranting, mean, confused, psychotic, tall, handsome doctor. The bad thing about addictions is that you can’t chose which ones you want. As far as addictions go though, I guess I’m lucky to just be stuck with House and coffee.

Daytime television needs to step it up a notch. All of those stay at home moms, lazy college students, high school kids, or….whoever just sits at home and watches tv all day should be educated, or at least informed, whether they want to be or not. I really think it would make our society healthier as a whole. I guess programs like Martha Stewart can count as informational….At least she is encouraging people to get up and make something pretty or tasty or a combination of the two. She’s also educational because she’s an ex con. You can learn a lot about what not to do from her as well. Even Lifetime could air movies that end with a lesson like “leave your cheating, abusive husband…..here’s the free and confidential get-out-from-under-abuse hotline number: 123-456-7891” That’s not a real number. Don’t call it, for any reason. You get the point though right? Daytime TV needs to teach people things like how to write a resume, fill out an application, consolidate debt, or improve on something. It could be real sneaky about it too. All of these lessons could be incorporated into all of out favorite daytime shows like Rosanne and The Golden Girls. “Oh look, Dorthy’s balancing her checkbook!” “See how she adds up her puchases? Just look how fun and easy that is!” Okay so checkbook balancing might be a little dated, but Daytime TV owes it to it’s viewers to help ‘em out in someway. Right?
