RHOA Finale Recap.........................

Head on over to Kelly's spot to get your recap fix!!! I have so many thoughts about last night's finale but I don't have time to type it out. *shakes fist at the man and his demands* I will say I had THE best time reading posts on FB while watching. Speaking of a good time......why did Mistah watch the finale with me. Actually, he watched damn near the entire marathon yesterday. And yes, it was only because there were no NFL games on yesterday.

Me: It's okay baby, you can go ahead and admit it. You're addicted.

Mistah: I wouldn't say that.....they just make it so interesting that I can't stop watching.

Me: Oh okay but you do know that's just another way of saying that you're addicted right.

Mistah: I'm not addicted.

Me: Oh okay.

CTHU!!!! He just wouldn't admit it. I think he got kinda mad because I wouldn't stop laughing at him. To be fair, I was laughing at him AAAAAAAANNNND the show.

I swear dude had me in stitches during the entire finale but the joke he cracked about Peter's mama??!! He said she looked like she just rose from the dead like a zombie in the Thriller video.

But really though.....where were her teefus?

Ok, let me get back to work. Well first I need to visit the ladies to see why my chest is tingling. I hope it's not my lactating breasts otherwise I've got a whole 'nother set of problems.

Holla!

The Boob Tube

While scrolling through the tv guide thingamajig last night to find something to lull me to sleep, I came across the most random show listing on ABC:

I was a bit surprised to find such foolishness on this network. The show title alone sounds like a Fox, MTV, VH1, or BET production. BET would probably have an even worse show title like, "Don't Hate, Apprecia-Date". I better copyright that before Debra Lee steals my sh!t!

In any event, my curiosity peaked immediately as did my body so I sat up to get a good look. I didn't need to sit up to much. The show is truly nothing more than folks rolling down a conveyor belt in the hopes of being matched up with one of five people on a panel of sorts. After all on the panel have selected someone, they head out on dates (which through the magic of television seem to last all of about 1 minute). LOL At the end of each date, you knew who was a match and who was not. That's it.

Most of you all have been reading my blog long enough to know that I am a reality show whore. I'll try most any show out at least once. Honestly, this program is a total waste of space and I'm pretty sure I'll forget all about it come next week. However, I was entertained.....at least for this episode. I don't see this lasting much longer as it doesn't have the 'it' factor to become a hit reality show like "The Bachelor", "Survivor", "The Biggest Loser", etc., etc., etc, but if you need something to watch for S&G's. I suppose it will do for now.

GLEE........

...............are you watching?

I am and am slowly falling in love with this show. Here's a 'video' of the Acafella's (an all male singing group comprised of teachers at the high school) performance last night. It's pretty craptastic (just sound and a still image) but it gives you an idea of what their working with.....the right mix of corniness and soul. lol

More to Love

So apparently I became a fan of this show without even realizing it. This surprised even me since I usually go for more of the sillier versions of reality dating shows (ie, Flava of Love, I Love NY, etc) although I haven't really tuned in to watch any of those types of shows lately. If you aren't familiar with this show, it's basically The Bachelor with folks that have well, more to love.

I tuned in every week (well not really but whose counting) to see which girl (or two or four) Luke would give the boot to. What?! Let's face it, that's the most exciting part and if you say it's not you're lying to yourself. I never really had a favorite during this process but always found that one lady stood out a little more (read: had the most common sense)than the rest. It is also my humble opinion that she was the most beautiful of the women in the competition.

So tonight was the finale with the remaining two contestants, Tali and Melissa. In the pic above, Tali (3rd from the left on the first row with the long dark hair) is Jewish with a good head on her shoulders. Melissa,the devil in the blue dress (the blond 2nd from the right), is Christian and a little flighty IMO. And she wasn't really devilish, I just could resist. So the ladies meet the fam and it's obvious that the difference in religion with Tali (she's from Israel and Jewish) was a concern for his folks who are 'devout' Christians (which really means they probably only go to church on Easter and Christmas but I digress). After the meet the family trip, surprise visit from his mom and an unnecessary additional 30 minutes for him to contemplate his decision they finally got to the end.

Sidenote: To those that watch, were you at all annoyed at how they zoomed in on that damn pizza at the pool hall when Luke and Melissa were on their date? They would have never tried that if weight was not a factor. I'm just sayin......

Tali won and Luke proposed. Three cheers for the happy couple. Now, let's just see how long this loving union lasts after the promo tour, Hanukkah and Christmas.

Reality love...ain't it grand?

I think it's safe to say I'm hooked................

..............at least for now.

In an effort to expand my reality tv viewing (as if I needed yet another show to watch), I have been become somewhat addicted to House Hunters on HGTV (in addition to My First Place, lol). I love watching as the families view the housing options and trying to guess which home out of the 3 shown that they will pick. I also like to seeing the difference in the type of home you get for the same amount of money in different areas. Sometimes the difference is vast.

Take for instance the episode I watched today. A lady was looking to purchase her first home and ended up finding a bank owned property that came in at around $150k (it was about $50k less than all other places she had been looking at). The thing that got me is that these were all condo/apartment-ish type places that had less than 900 sq. ft. The apartment I had before we moved into this place had that much room and rent was only $450/mth. Anyhoo, that got me to thinking about how much bang for the buck you could get in this area for the same $150k pricetag. You could get a super nice 3 (maybe 4) newer bedroom home with a bit more than double the square footage for that price. Living in Arkansas does sometimes have it's perks I suppose. :)

Now back to the show, one thing I do notice that I absolutely cannot stand is the random dumb comments people make. For example, they are looking around the house and step into a bedroom that's painted purple with flowers also painted on the wall....obviously a little girl's room. Or say they walk into the den/living room/great room and there is wallpaper. It just really slays me that they choose to fuss about something that could easily changed with an invention called ummmmm PAINT! lol It never fails. Now granted sometimes their complaints are warranted but I would think that when you are looking to purchase are home it's just expected that there will be things that you will need and/or want to change to fit your taste and lifestyle.

Even with that slight annoyance, I still thoroughly enjoy watching. I think this is due to the fact that I'm getting a bad itch to purchase my first home. Now that I know my job is intact (for now anyway), it is really something I'm seriously considering. Only time will tell. :)

Now, I'm off to watch The Fashion Show.

ATTENTION "THE WIRE" FANS.......

FYI......the first episode for the new season of "The Wire" is currently available via On Demand right now for free before it airs on Sunday. Can you say yummy???!!! I love this show!

ARGal is currently laid up with a muscle spasm in her back but her donkey @ss just had to share. lol

Happy Watching!
