Welcome to Something for Nothing

I’m sad to say that Yau-Man has been voted off Survivor. Yau-Man will forever be my favorite character on Survivor. When he found the immunity idol the first time he was on Survivor I couldn’t stop smiling. It was by far the best moment of Survivor history.

Well, I can see why people would vote off Yau-Man, but I hoped that he would stick around a little longer. Oh well, it’s still pretty entertaining having some of the favorites on the show.

Now on to Celebrity Apprentice. I really hope that Amorosa gets kicked off the show tonight.

I have to admit that I’m a little surprised that Team Bruno won dance wars. Not because Team Bruno isn’t better than Carrie Ann. In fact, I think that we can all agree that Team Bruno’s team was phenomenal. However, I am a little surprised that Bruno didn’t incense so much of America that he didn’t kill team Bruno’s chances all together. Why do you think that Bruno lost so many times? America doesn’t like supporting rude people. However, we love to hear what he says. I wish Carrie Ann was as honest as Bruno.

Not the best show, but at least we have Dancing with the Stars coming up soon enough.

They announced the next cast of stars for Dancing with the Stars. A pretty interesting group of celebrities. Should be pretty interesting to watch as usual. The other interesting thing will be to find out who gets paired with who. I think that America has fallen in love with the professional dancers almost as much as the stars they dance with.

Anyway, here’s the list of stars on the next season of Dancing with the Stars:

Marlee Matlin - Oscar winning, deaf actress who has done more in Hollywood than most actors/actresses

Penn Jilette - half of Penn and Teller, the magicians

Marissa Jaret Winokur - from Hairspray, the Broadway Musical

Adam Carolla - radio host, former host of the Man Show

Kristy Yamaguchi - Olympic Gold Medalist, ice skating

Christian De La Fuente - Latin American heart throbe

Monica Seles - Tennis star

Mario - R&B singer, “Let Me Love You”

Steve Guttenberg - Actor

Jason Taylor - Played for the Miami Dolphins

Shanon Elizabeth - Nadia from American Pie

Priscilla Presely - Elvis’s widow, film and TV star

Who’s your favorite?

Here’s the Team Carrie Ann Single called Come With It from the season finale of Dance War. Not as good as Team Bruno’s single, but not bad.

Team Bruno just performed their single Fallin’ In Love on the finale of Dance War. Pretty cool song if I do say so myself. Here’s a link to buy it on iTunes:

This week I got an email from someone trying to promote tonight’s Dance War Finale. I’ll take the bait and post the information they sent me. I must admit that I’m glad today is President’s Day holiday so I can be home to see it live. Plus, I’m glad that they’ll be presenting the new contestants for Dancing with the Stars tonight.

Here’s the insider info for Dance War:

Marqis

* Qui’s is obsessed with the Lakers. It’s been really hard for him to be without sports center, and he can’t understand how the other guys in the group could care less.

* Phillip has written songs about his girlfriend. He wrote the first song the day after they met.
* Philips is afraid of being known as “the hat guy”. In fact, he never wears hats. The hat he wore the first day wasn’t even his. He was just trying to have a better “hip hop look”

* Mariel has opened up more within the last week, and she feels really comfortable around Elizabeth and Lacey.

General

* The only party kids in the group are Corina, Charity, Kelsey, and Elizabeth. The rest drink rarely or never.
* Lacey and Zack are the group leaders. They go along with the rules, and they don’t question them. The rest of the group is constantly looking for opportunities to stray. Zack is constantly motivating the group.
* The guys love Kim Kardashian as a whole; are not at all interested in Miley Cyrus

I must admit that I’ve been completely captivated with Celebrity Apprentice. Piers is such a great person for that show. Today when they switched the teams I was torn though. I was completely torn that Trace Adkins was no longer with Piers. I want them both to make it to the end.

I also think that it’s a complete cop out that Trump didn’t fire someone. I wonder if the writer’s strike played into it since NBC needed more shows and Celebrity Apprentice has been some good entertainment. However, Trump could have easily stepped up to the plate and kicked Baldwin off for past performance. Don’t give me this crap about not having reason to kick anyone off.

Who will be kicked off next week? Should be interesting.

Tonight we have a good line up of shows which should be a pretty entertaining evening for my wife and I. I think we’re going to go and get an order of this really authentic Napoli style pizza at a restaurant called Settebello and then watch some shows. Some people might think that’s kind of lame, but we’re excited. Plus, tomorrow we’re going to the temple.

Check out what I gave my wife for Valentine’s day.

On Thursday I decided to watch Survivor Fans vs. Favorites. I found it very intriguing to see the previous contestants against the fans. I knew I’d like to watch it since I think Johnny Fairplay is crazy and would be entertaining. Plus, Yau-man is by far my favorite contestant of all time. When he found the idol, that was probably my favorite survivor moment. It was hilarious seeing how excited he was. By the way, he should have won that time also if it weren’t for that lieing, cheating, disloyal, nevermind…. Ok, so I’m also partial to Yao-man since he’s a nerd like me.

Either way, it’s going to be a really interesting season to watch. Playing the same night as Celebrity Apprentice makes for a nice of TV watching for me.
