Two shows I don't think we have talked about were on tonight, both on ABC. The Big Give, big tear jerker and Here comes the newlyweds. Both of them have been good shows, well for reality shows.

The big give is down to the last three, I don't know if they will finish with only two or three contestants. It's amazing how some people can get others to open up their check bools. I may want to but I can't.

Here come the newlyweds finished tonight. it was a good concept. I don't know who the host was, figure he was some stand up comedian who was out of a job. But they put the couples through challenges each week to see how they knew each other. And for each correct answer anyone gave, the amount of the cash winnings was increased. Original winnings was $250,000 and the end total was $465,000. Like most other reality shows, it ended up the people that you voted off were the ones that voted for the winner. In tonights episode, the last two couples went through 3 different challenges and the winner of each got an envelope that they couldn't open until the actual voting.

So it happens that the envelopes contained a blank card that the owner of the envelope could write down a previous contestants name and that contestants vote would not be counted. So the couple that had won all these envelopes gave the cards back all blank saying that they trusted the votes as they were. if they were voted off, then so be it. But they ended up being the winners. It was kind of neat how they could have really changed the vote but left it alone.

Oh, I also watched the excibition skate at the figure skating world champoinships.
