Friday's Reality Recap Finale!

So here is the ultimate Friday Reality Recap! Oh where to begin! Well let’s mix it up a bit.

Survivor: So a nice two hour finale. It was visually stunning in some parts. And stunningly stupid in others! I mean really, how’d Danielle beat Aras and Terry out on the final immunity challenge. I was flabbergasted. Right there we knew she wouldn’t win the million dollars. She couldn’t beat either Terry or Aras. It was just bad luck on her part. No one would have beat Terry. He was the only one who never crossed any of the others as they got voted off. The upsets with Dan and Courtney were Terry-free ousts. He had nothing to do with either of those. So there’s two guaranteed votes right there. And then with Sally and Austin on the jury of 7, that’s the 4 votes he needs. Done deal. Well I think somewhere Danielle figured that out and decided to go with Aras to the final two, even after she had a deal with Terry to take him to the final two. I did like though that she chose Aras to go with her, because I think he was the only one she had a better shot at beating. The last day or so on the island with Aras and Danielle though were nice to watch. At first listening to Aras talk I thought they had this special bonding period after he fell and cut his back and hand. He kept saying how good she was while it was happening and stuff like that. Then I watched that part after I saw the vote. I love the time shift! (I watched who won live on a local channel then went back and watched the episode leading up to it on a Edmonton channel.) Danielle wasn’t all that supportive, from what I saw she was not even near him when the medics got called in. And she didn’t really hold his hand as they were helping him. It didn’t look very supportive at all. Whatever! So anyways back to it now. They get to the final tribal council and face all of the people they screwed over. They voted and I think it was a 5-2 vote in Aras’ favour. Woohoo Aras! I would rather he win then her anyways. Then they had the reunion episode which was really boring but they brought back all the hot guys from before and that was cool! There it is Aras is the final survivor!

ANTM: Ok so we start with the top 3, Jade, Danielle (another one) and Joanie. I was happy with 2 outta 3 and according to Meatloaf, that ain’t bad. They do their Cover Girl commercials for mascara and I think Joanie has the best commercial but Danielle has the best picture and Jade just sucked all around. Ok fine. So back to the judges to see who will be in the top 2. It’s funny how they put 2 episodes into one but don’t double the length of time in the episode. I think I like that. It cuts down on the blood pressure. The judges deliberate and Jade gets the boot! FINALLY!!!!! I was so happy. They made me a bit nervous because they kept on the same thing for poor Danielle, your speech and enunciation SUCKS! Work on it work on it work on it! Then there were 2. Joanie (my fav) and Danielle (who I like too). They did their fashion show in Thailand, which was pretty boring to be honest with you. I thought it would be way better and more exciting but I seriously didn’t care for it at all. The clothes weren’t great, they weren’t even good couture. The hair and makeup though was pretty cool. I thought they both did really well but Joanie had a “je ne sais quois” about her walk. I just preferred it for some reason. Danielle was slow when she walked, but Joanie kept looking down. What was nice was that they both got along and were friendly with each other through the whole competition. That made it nice. Hard to decide though. There wasn’t a clear bitch to decide against. So in the end Danielle got the goods. Which is ok I guess but I did like Joanie better. Oh well, it’s not like you really hear much from them after the show is over. And now we have our own CNTM that we can watch next week!!

AI: Ok so the final two are Katharine and Taylor. I like them both but it should have been Chris in there somewhere. It’s just wrong! On the performance night they both did well on the previous songs that they picked but their originals, the singles they are each putting out today kind of sucked. They are very touchy feely songs. One called “My Destiny” the other “Do I Make You Proud” I mean really now…… From this moment I just want to be in your heaven and on and on and on. I loved Taylor’s “In The Ghetto”, it was as perfect as the first time he performed it. Good choice for him. On the flipside Katharine chose “Black Horse and a Cherry Tree” which was good too. I really like her rendition of the song. According to the judges round one goes to Taylor. The next song Taylor sings is “Levon” from early on in the competition. And it was ok a little bit lacking in the wow factor though. Katharine chose her best ever song “Somewhere Over the Rainbow” and knocked it out of the park. Good song choice for her. Daddy Dewdrops needed a hanky for sure on this one. So Round two to Katharine. Then came their new singles. I thought Katharine did a really good job to be honest with you and I did like her song better. She only got the choir for last bit of her song. She looked awesome too, good dress choice for her. They totally did to her what they did to Clay when he was up against Ruben. They told her the song wasn’t good and that she was bigger then the song. Whatever, they just wanted Taylor to win. So up comes Taylor with his new single, and yes it was good, as good as Katharine’s was in my opinion. But for some reason as equally corny in theme as it was to Katharine’s they preferred his song naturally and Simon declared him the winner. Whatever. What does Simon know right. SO the next night is filled with special guests like Mary J. Blige and Toni Braxton (who sounded like hell I might add next to Taylor) and Prince. He was cool! Then they get down to it and apparently Simon does know a thing or two because he predicted it right, Taylor is the new American Idol. We get to hear his song today somewhere on the radio waves.

So that was my big ol’ finale for the Friday Night Reality Recap. I guess I could do the Canadian version TV shows now. Well at least for Canadian Idol and Canada’s Next Top Model. We’ll see how good they are first. CI starts Monday and CNTM starts Wednesday. Until then…

J-BOMB! OUT!
