How have your shows been going this week? The first week of Survivor was kind of weird. Reminded me to much of The Apprentice. It takes me several weeks to even remember any of the contestants names and place them with a face. I didn't get to watch much of Grease Sunday. Then of course American Idol is in full swing with the Hollywood auditions this week. In the past they have devoted more time to those auditions. It was just a whirlwind tonight. I wish they would have cut out some of the bad auditions in the past weeks so we could have seen the really good things tonight. So tomorrow we find out the final 24 and then the fun begins!!!! It was interesting some of the hopefuls from the city auditions were some of the first to go tonight. I almost forgot The Apprentice. I think the challenges so far have been pretty lame for the intelligent people that they have as candidates. I think Amazing Race all star starts Sunday! I wish they would stop putting Amber and Rob on. How many chances do they want to give that couple a chance to win a million dollar?

In case you are wondering if I do have a life outside of my reality shows, I do. I'm going to visit my grand daughters this weekend!!!!! I tried to find the Fisher Price digital camera for Christmas and finally had to order it from Fisher Price and pay full price. It came in this week just in time for me to personally deliver it. That poor little 5 year old was having a hard time understanding Grandmas' IOU she got under the Christmas tree.

Hello Doydie,
We forgot that American Idol was on last night. For some reason we thought it was just on Wednesday evenings from last week on.

We just finished watching the evening news, and saw parts of Indiana, Ohio, and Chicago (where we just were last weekend) completely snowed in. Do you have electric? I hope you are faring well under the nasty conditions they are experiencing in the midwest.

Be safe and warm,
Chris

Thanks for asking about us. We are pretty good down here in southern Indiana. Other parts haven't fared so well though. At least we aren't like areas of New York! BRRRRRR.

My short term memory problems don't let me remember all the good singers on AI. After they get going for a couple of episodes I will remember names, faces and voices and have some favorites. One ting they did do tonight was to show a lot of the final solo auditions right before they had the contestants go up the elevator to meet the judges. I kind of missed that in the Hollywood auditions. So now it's Survivor tomorrow night and Amazing Race starts Sunday night.

I'm having my own reality this weekend, going to see the grand kids!!!!!!!!!! I'll take them any day over my reality shows. Well, as long as I can tape the shows.

Have fun with your lovely family. I'm glad the snow isn't horrific. AI was super last night. We don't watch any of the others. We're watching Grey's Anatomy right now. We're off to Philadelphia and southern NJ tomorrow if the weather holds up. Oh-all this SNOW!

Keep warm,
Chris

Well I guess all you Survivor fans have watched the show by now. I feel so sorry for Ravu. Still no fire, water, etc. But they do need to get off their butts and start doing something! I would do so much for their morale. Maybe with Sylvia there they can build some kind of shelter. Of course you don't have to have an architect to build a shelter. None of the other seasons have had one and they all manged.

My own reality show got cancelled this weekend. Snow was to heavy for us to drive. I am all bummed out I want some chocolate so bad and I am trying to watch my calories and cholesterol so I didn't get any comfort food. My husband is off in two weeks so we will try again. My granddaughter says for me not to worry, that two weeks isn't that far away. She is right but she won't change much in those two weeks but the tree month old sure will, especially since it has been a month since we have seen her.

Well tonight Amazing Race all stars premiered. As usual Rob and Amber were very strong competitors and came into the pit stop first. Of course this is just the first episode. I was kind of disappointed in the couple from Kentucky. In last seasons show, I thought they had good integrity. But I thought I heard them say that they would do anything to win.

I'm not into The Apprentice this year as I have been before. I think the quality of the applicants isn't as high and I don't like the whole tent city thing. But since I am addicted to it, I will finish it.

AHHH! I missed it!!! I was out to dinner with my husband. My parents babysat for us and it was our late Valentine's Day dinner. I hope they replay it! AAHHH!

OK, we had results show on American idol. I pretty much agree on the girls voted off. I'm not sure about the guys. I thought surely the East Indian origin guy would go first.

Then we had Survivor. From the promos, it looked like Gary would have a medical emergency and have to leave. From previews from next week, he still doesn't feel good at all. The reward challenge was weird. They usually try to do some kind of challenge that involves customs of where they are. Slipping on a wet tarp and playing basketball just doesnt seem like a local custom. Poor Ravu tribe. From both challenges tonight it seemed like they were trying to create challenges that would allow the team to eat. A couple of guys did get to eat some weird things though. I was proud of Michelle to finally get fire going.

Well we had Amazing Race again and again 'amazing' Rob and Amber checked in first. I don't know how they keep on doing it. After the major delay at the airport that put them back in one of the last two places, they again manage to get ahead of everyone.

Then tomorrow night starts the American Idol week. Three nights of Simon Cowell! I don't know what you all think of this mess with Anatollo Barbaro or whatever the spelling is. I'm still not convinced that the pictures are fake. If they aren't she has no business being anyone's idol!

I'm getting pretty tired of the haves and have nots in Survivor. I hope CBC has something up their sleeve to change things around. They usually do!

For some reason The Apprentice wasn't on Sunday night. I hear there is some boxing match on TV coming up soon and according to whoever wins, Donal Trump will have his own hair cut. That I've got to see.

I hope I will be able to continue my own reality life this weekend and go to Lexington to see the babies!!!!!!! Then if everything goes right, I've got the oldest, she's 5 1/2, for a week a little later.
