Well the two nights of competition is now over for American Idol. I think the women have the most talent so far, and I think it's limited to the African American group of ladies. Some of the other ladies have talent but the others far outshine them. Of the men, I think Sundance is the best. We'll see tomorrow night who is ousted.

As far as the photo scandal that Antonella is in, I think the judges may have purposefully judged her a little low tonight because they know that the show can't legally kick her off, only the voting public can. But Antonella was a little sassy with them and she should have been on her very best behaviour. That's just my opinion!

Well I have now finished my reality shows for the week. None of them turned out like I had hoped. Well, The Apprentice wasn't even on so I guess I shouldn't judge that one. I really can't say any of the ones voted off AI tonight deserved it but the ones that did are still in it. I can never remember the guys name. He's the young one with the shoulder length curly hair, definitely a hit with the 13 and below group. And then Antonella. What can I say. Both of them are still in!!!!!!!

Now Survivor. CBS tried to provide a reward challenge that would provide food for the poor Ravu tribe. I guess they are to weak to give a decent challenge. So the 'Haves' got a king size bed and some fish. But the immunity challenge was the shocker. Moto won it but then had to make a choice of giving up their luxury accommodations or got to Tribal council and vote off a member. This was after losing Gary to illness. They couldn't give up their luxuries so now the game is on. The snake is out of the bag. Finally there will be some backstabbing and the team will lose its cohesiveness. At least Ravu will be able to see the immunity symbol at their camp for a couple of days. maybe it will give them the confidence to get their act together. Of course Rocky is going to have to cool his temper a little bit. Now the team will be equal in number and Moto can't sit out their weaker members.

Hey, i know I'm not the only one watching these shows!!!!!!! Come on guys, give me some discussion here. Don't let me talk to myself and make me think I'm just a little 'titched in the head".

Well I don't know how much sense I will make tonight since I go into this little hibernation when I get home from the grand kids. I hadn't seen the baby in about a month and the can sure grow in the time. She is about 14 weeks old now. She has a very pleasant personality, likes to smile and make her early little talking sounds. Really they are just sounds but she is forming language and knowing that those sounds communicate with her family. But it is with her Grandpa that she really gets going. He can just start talking to her and she starts up and she is laughing, talking, smiling and just generally enjoying his undivided attention. I was still glad that when she was fussy at church today and mommy and her mommies milk wasn't available yet, that I go walk around with her and be gently swaying and patting her back and bottom and it isn't long before she is out. So Grandma still has the touch!!!!!!! For the first time, big sister realized that little one was taking away her time from her grandparents . It really didn't matter that Grndma wasn't paying any attention but it sure did that I had the baby.

So we will enjoy next week when it's just the two of us. Her Mommy's B'day is in April so we will have to make some simple present. A couple of years ago when I did this, I went all out for this week and neither one of us enjoyed it. She was to young to appreciate what I was doing and it made me to tired. So I think we are just going to make a special picture frame and put the two girls picture in it. I can tell that the year in Kindergarten has given her some habits that she didn't have before. She is exerting herself a little more. But that's all part of growing up and learning your boundaries and we'll deal with it.

The older sister was petite when she was 3 months old and Ellie isn't. She has got several rolls on her chin and legs and belly but she is very healthy. Plus it was my birthday and they all enjoyed making me a cake. They have no extra money at all so their love was all I wanted. I am enrolled in Texas Roadhouse email program and they sent me a coupon for a free appetizer so we went there today and since the email said happy birthday on it, they brought out a huge bowl of ice cream with chocolate and caramel syrup and several spoon. So that made it special.

As for my reality shows. I missed them all but I read on the websites. It wasn't the same as watching the programs but at least I know who was eliminated. I was kind of rooting for the farming Kentucky couple because they are just plain down home people and I'm from Indiana. But they were eliminated. The website has a feature that you can watch them in the elimination villa that they have to stay in until the race is over. I think they live in luxury there.

Well. my sleeping pills are taking effect and I do not hold myself for responsibility for what I say. So goodnight. Tomorrow night is Prison break. it's not a reality show but I still love it!

Well we had the disastrous men's night tonight. The judges said that they thought only 4 of them deserved to go through to the final 12. I'm not even sure if I could say 4 of them deserved it. But we will see what the fan clubs were able to do for them. I guess I really shouldn't say since I haven't voted for any them during the whole season and probably won't. I just watch and don't vote!

Well we had the women tonight, didn't do as well as I expected. I don't know about anyone else but our local Fox affiliate has 2 basketball games on before the results show. So the show won't be on until at least 11 PM!!!!!

Well tonight we had two reality shows, one a shocker, the other not.

The shocker first. American idol. I didn't expect Sundance to get voted off at all and I did expect Sundaya, or however it's spelled, to leave. As Simon so tactfully said, "did someone forget to turn up the volume?". The poor guy sounds like he is auditioning for a high school musical. Yes, he has a voice but I'm afraid his audience will mainly be the teeny boppers. But I guess that's quite a large audience. The girls didn't surprise me at all. I'm glad Antonella got voted off. She was not at all what young teenagers should have as someone to look up to.

Now to Survivor. The 'haves' continue to dominate with a capital D. NCAA games are on next week then Survivor is back on the next week. The teams break up and someone draws a team name to go to the Moto camp. I hope it's not mainly the 'haves' again. Ravu sure needs half a chance to play the game evenly.

OK, one more thing. It seems like I am talking to mmyself here. Does anyone really care for my reviews of the reality shows, or does anyone els want to participate?. My next shows will be on Sunday with Apprentice LA and the Amazing Race all stars.

Oh, another one of my own reality shows!!!!!!!! I get my 5 year old grandaughter all next week while her Mom is in Chicago. She is taking the baby 'cause she is breast feeding. I don't have the stuff to do that and besides that, I don't think I can handle two of them. Wish me luck!!!!

keep posting doydie!

your reviews are great.

i watch amercian idol family tradition now. i wasn't too shocked that sanjaya made it. there a web site that is all for voting the worst. they had been working hard at keeping antonella. boy am i also glad she is gone. i do think sanjaya will get voted off soon. not a strong singer.

have fun with your granddaughter. my little grandmokey is also 5. he is a joy. we are raising him, so i don't get the luxery of spoiling him and sending him home. i spoil him anyways.

Keep posting doydie! I always read your "reviews" even if I don't feel well enough to answer. I agree, it was surprising that Sundance didn't make it to the finals on AI. Also in my opinion, Sabrina should be there instead of Haley. But it seems they all have their fan bases who vote based on popularity and not necessarily singing ability.

Have fun with your grandbaby this weekend. I'm seeing three of mine Saturday evening -- with their parents!! Instant "mood picker-upper"!

Thanks for the support. It does give me something to do. Well it also keeps me from finishing my sister's birthday present that was last September!!!!! I also enjoy reading and occasionally posting on the Survivor message bourds. Right now they are getting rather nasty about how 'boring' Survivor is.

i'm bad...i only watch the last couple of weeks of survivor. just to see who wins.

we normally only watch about an hour of tv per day. but we make an exception during american idol season.

so you keep posting doydie...so i know what is going on.
