American Idol Top 12

The set is new, the band is up above the stage, lights galore, mosh pit near the judges. Yada, Yada, Yada...

Top 12 walk out together to much fanfare, I really could care less about any of this I just want them to start singing.

The theme this week is the Beatles or more importantly McCarthy and Lennon.

Syesha Mercado sang "Got To Get You Into My Life" which started out horribly. I hated it. She jazzed it up with horns and whatnot. She looked cute in her skinny pants. She's cute and she started to find her way midway through. Let's see what the judges think.

Randy - Yo! Nice arrangement, sort of Earth, Wind and Fire. You started getting into it. A little pitchy. It was alright.

Paula - You know you are a good singer. It started off pitchy. Mid way through you found it. You look fantastic.

Simon - I thought it was better than alright. I thought it was a great choice of song. I think you looked very, very nervous. Much better than last week.

Chikezie - Sang "She's A Women" which I don't think I know. The arrangement was interesting with it's Blue Grass beginning. I loved it. He can sing and I think he showed a little bit of diversity here. I know Simon is going to think it was very manic with the dancing and arm swinging. He never did like Taylor Hicks did he? I am hoping for the best.

Randy - I was entertained. Who know? First, I loved the arrangement. Chikezie smashed it.

Paula - This is exactly, when Ryan asked me, those who take the risk..you turned it into a rock vibe. I have been waiting for this. The reward paid off my dear.

Simon - I'm really surprised that I actually agree with these two. What I loved about it other than the fact you looked drunk. You have changed within a week. You took control of the stage. I thought it was terrific.

Ahhhh Ryan telling Chik to work it was a bit much. If anyone is drunk tonight, it might be Ryan.

Ramiele Malubay sang "In My Life" which is a beautiful song. I love her sweet little voice. I wish she had sang a little louder because I had the volume down for the kids who were asleep and I couldn't hear a thing. I digress, what I did hear was a bit boring but at least she was on key. No need to over do it but damn... she did at the end and it didn't work. She lost pitch.

Randy - It was kinda pretty but it was pretty boring. It sounded like you were going to do something interesting but you didn't.

Paula - You look lovely. It was pretty safe. You are an amazing singer and your voice allows you to go many places. You are holding back.

Simon - I was bored to tears through out the entire song. It was dreary. It did nothing for you. Forgettable, boring and I expect a lot better from you because you are better than that.

Jason Castro sang "If I Fell" He is so cute to me. I have to not watch while he sings so that I can really hear the song. It was good. He has a falsetto that worked for the song. I liked it. Sort of beachy sound. I hope the judges liked it.

Randy - I liked it, I didn't love it. It is one of my favorite songs. I like you going into the false but it changed the melody..

Paula - I disagree with Randy. What is so special and unique I feel your heart. There is a special connection that makes you unique.

Simon - Jason last week you were incredible. It was a bit bedroom at midnight. I thought the song was boring. Very unique, very different. Big, big fan of Jason's.

Carly Smithson sang "Come Together" so what the hell is Amanda going to sing? I just like Carly, I thought it was good. She can sing anything. She is sexy and sounds awesome.

Randy - You know what I loved. You were strong, you were confident. You were amazing. Stellar performance.

Paula - I felt like I was already watching a star. I couldn't wait until you got into the top 12 so you can show who you are.

Simon - Week after week you have chosen the wrongh song util now. That was great. I got to tell you. I have to say something. This reminds me, Kelly Clarkson.

David Cook sings "Eleanor Rigby" I am really starting to LOVE David. I like his sound although I always feel like he is very rehearsed with his moves and his looks. He can sing and it blew me away. Powerful performance I am downloading it tomorrow. He rocked. They got to use all their new lights with this song too.

Randy - You can rock out. You can rock. You had a little problem in the beginning. You got this. Do it.

Paula - You are the dark horse. You are fantastic. I love seeing you just as a front man on this stage.

Simon - I thought it was brilliant. Two weeks now, if this show were a talent competition you could win.

Brooke White sang "Let It Be" which I think will be a great song for her. Brooke played Piano and looked stunning. She was good although I am still thinking of David's performance. I was a little bored but then again...David's performance...ok...anyway...where was I? She's likable and can pick the right songs to showcase herself.

Randy - I don't know if it was your strongest performance. I love that you take this big song and you give a very heart felt performance.

Paula - This is your niche Brooke. It is picking songs where you can have an emotional connection.

Simon - I thought it was again one of the best performances of the night. I thought it was a brilliant choice of song. It's believable. Great!

David Hernandez sang "I Saw Her Standing There" and he did it Rock N Roll Style. He worked the stage and well I am not sure that he did a great job with this song. It didn't really showcase his voice. I was a bit bored and can't wait until the next performance. Playing Webkinz now...waiting for him to finish.

Randy - You got a big voice. On a song like this that is simple. You were trying to do too much. You were lost.

Paula - David, you know I love your voice. I feel like you kind of over did it (didn't Randy just say that?)

Simon - No, no, no. corny verging on desperate. All a little bit rabbit in the head lights. It wasn't really cool. I didn't think it was a strong performance.

Amanda Overmeyer sang "You Can't Do That" which Amanda and I have never heard before. Ok, what is not to love about Amanda? She has a distinctive voice and she has a unique look. She stands out and she can bring it! I really want to hear her sing Stevie Nicks and try to do a nice, soft song with that rough voice. I hope she does some Gretchen Wilson if they do Country week this season.

Randy - I am telling you. That is the true mark of a great song. You brought the Beatles to a Southern bar and worked it. Very cool. Very cool.

Paula - You are smiling, you are having fun, you look fantastic. I am blown away.

Simon - I didn't think it was as good as last week. I understood about 30% of what you sang. It was a little shouty. Shut up Paula! I think it is a good thing that you are in this competition because you are a breath of fresh air but it was not as good as last week.

Michael Johns sang "Across the Universe" which I can't wait to hear because well...I love Michael. He is too friggin sexy and can sing like a God. He sounded very strong and confident and looked like a pro up there. Does anyone remember the first season of this show? How bad was that compared to these singers. Michael's performance was stellar as if I had paid tickets for a Michael John concert. He is just good! Let's hear from the judges.

Randy - Yo. Check it out. So, I don't know if it was your best. I was waiting for something big. It was a little sleepy.

Paula - Wow, I disagree with you again. It takes an inner strength to stand center stage and sing brilliantly. You connected. I thought it was brilliant.

Simon - I tend to agree with Randy. He is absolutely right. It was a little monotonous. It was solid, it was good. I am still a big, big fan. I am frustrated that we haven't heard what you can do.

Kristy Lee Cook sang "Eight Days A Week" Country style. She looked adorable with her ripped jeans and sparkly top. I didn't think it worked but what do I know. I thought the music was faster than she was singing. Yikes. Going back to Webkinz. Is she still singing? Damn. Noisy!

Randy - I liked the arrangement. Vocally you were trying to force some runs in it. I am torn with this one.

Paula - Um, Kristy I didn't enjoy it. I know you did like a Lorrie Morgan. I didn't get it.

Simon - I thought it was horrendous. You sounded like Dolly Parton on helium. Sorry. It was a very brave but foolish thing to do. That song doesn't work in that style.

David Archuleta sang "We Can Work It Out" I don't know. I really think David had it in the bag for this competition. It was just ok for me. This was his weakest performance for me. I didn't like the melody of the song. At one point it sounded like he had a belly ache.

Randy - You know I like your voice. It was not your vibe. It felt forced. It didn't work.

Paula - This wasn't your best. You can never let it show on your face. We love you.

Simon - That was a mess. I expect incredible. It was weak.

Based on these performances for me the bottom 2 are Syesha and Kristy Lee Cook. Going home will be Kristy.

Big Brother Recap

I don't know about the rest of you but Sunday's episode was a bit boring. I liked them playing as couples and would have liked BB to keep it going a little longer. Having one person without a partner would have been interesting. Would they have been a sitting duck or would they have formed an alliance with a couple. I guess we'll never know. Thanks Big Brother!

Sheila crying to Adam was interesting and pathetic.

The guys alliance was predictable.

Nat thinking that Matt loves her but is "doing the opposite" cracks me up. How old is this chick?

How many people smoke in this house? It's so gross and unappealing. You would think young people would be more aware of the long term dangers but well, anyway, I digress.


I loved the whole James, Chelsia thing. I thought it was adorable how James reacted to Chelsia giggling with Matt in the other room. Editing I'm sure but cute anyway. I am not sure why she says she feel weird around him now that they are separated. They were in a Big Brother induced relationship and also separated by BB, so what's the stitch?

Anyway, I loved him telling her that they could win this together and her telling him that if she can't win she wants him to win. I hope these are true words and not strategy but I'm a romantic at heart so what do I know?

Another interesting editing tidbit was Nat reading her bible and translating it in the house. Her "oh snap" comment cracked me up. She has it all figured out doesn't she?

Ryan and Matt up in the HOH room discussing the game and James walking in as they talk about putting Sharon up. Ryan suggests Sheila and Sharon in hopes that Sharon will be the one to go but then they worry about the aftermath of someone winning POV and coming after them.

James throws Chelsia's name out and everyone perks up. That could be interesting.

Ryan does in fact put up Chelsia and Sharon. His speech is good and makes them both feel comfortable with why they were chosen. Sharon thrusts her claws out in Diary and says this makes her feel good because she knows that the house feels she is strong and this just makes her stronger, yada, yada.

At this point I should have a personal favorite of who should win but I don't. I flip flop like a presidential candidate changing every week.

Right now based on this episode, I say my top 2 are Ryan and James.

Ryan because I actually like him. He seems very calm and is trying to play the game without too much drama. James is smart, reacted quickly to Amanda's emergency and had a loving moment with Chelsia.

Big Brother 9 - Spoiler Videos

Ryan's HOH Room. Everyone owwws and ahhhs over his pictures and his new clothing.

Sheila talking to Josh about how Ryan wants to propose to Jen.

Nat in HOH talking to Ryan about the game. The #8? Ummm...interesting.

Matt tells Adam that he thinks he may be nominated.

Matt, Ryan and Adam meet in HOH to discuss nominating James.

Houseguests talk after Wednesday's live show

Ryan and Sheila talking about how smart Allison was. She is totally kissing his ass. BTW..she has a kick ass body.

The houseguests sun tanning

Where Was I during AI Eliminations

I totally zoned out last night. There are no excuses because1 kids was down by 7:00 the 2nd was by 7:30 and I sat playing on Flickr thinking there was nothing on until 9:00 p.m. when Lost was coming on.

So, now that I had to research for my recap...


From what I read Blake Lewis perform his new single.


36 million votes were cast on Tuesday and Wednesday.


Girl Eliminations are:










Kady Malloy "Britney Impersonator"

Asia'h Epperson who sang in the audition just 2 days after her father died


Guy Eliminations are:

Luke Menard who sort of had the looks but lacked personality

Danny Noriega who absolutely drove me crazy. Good riddance.


Out of the 4 I am sad and shocked to see Asia'h go.



So without further ado your Top 12 are:

• Amanda Overmeyer
• Carly Smithson
• Kristy Lee Cook
• Ramiele Malubay
• Brooke White
• Syesha Mercado
• David Archuleta
• David Hernandez
• Michael Johns
• David Cook
• Jason Castro
• Chikezie

Here are pictures from the After Party.

Does anyone else find Constantine greasy and slimy?

Does anyone else think Jason looks like a cross between John Travolta and Nicholas Cage?

Just Me?

Big Brother Till Death Do Us Part - Show 11

It took me 8 hours to get through this episode. My kids needed me a lot today and the CBS site kept buffering.

Oh No!!!

A shocking surprise? Why is BB keeping the evicted couple in the house? Whhhhhyyyyyyy????

Sheila tells us that she doesn't like the feeling of being up on the block because she came here to play this game. Well Sheila, who likes it and who hasn't come there to play the damn game???


Matt tells Diary that he is not sure who he is voting for but that he will be owed a favor next week.


The house guests sit around whispering about the siren that BB told them to expect at any time. Some think that it means some evicted guests might come back and others think that it means immunity to guests on the block.


Matt and Ryan talk and Matt promises his vote to him but Matt is playing both sides.


Allison walks over to Chelsia and James who tells her that he is making no promises to anyone. Got to respect that when he think how Matt has told all the nominated individually, that they have his vote.


Sheila tells James that Matt is voting for Allison and Ryan, James figures that Matt is telling both couples that he is voting for them so he heads outside to call a meeting with the guys (Matt, Ryan and Adam).


James calls Matt out in front of both Adam and Ryan. He tells Matt that he doesn't care how he votes but he does care how he goes about telling people. Matt says that he has no idea yet how he is voting. James asks both Adam and Ryan if Matt has told them that he has their back and they both say yes.


James says, "You are playing both couples man!"


Matt answers, "That's big brother, is it not?"


Honestly, I kind of agree with both guys.

Matt goes all Boston on him (whatever that means) getting up from his seat and asking if James is going to start throwing people under the bus and all cursing.

Julie informs us that when the evicted house guests reach the door, the alarm will go off all guests will return to the living room and the game changes. Instead of couples, the are now playing as individuals and only 1 person of the evicted couple will be leaving.

Ryan and Allison are told they are evicted. They say there good-byes and head to the door. We already know from Julie that the door is locked so it was funny to watch Allison work really hard to open that door.

The alarms goes off and everyone either screams, jumps, yells or runs. Allison is beyond happy.

Julie informs the house guests that they are no longer couples and everyone is thrilled. Everyone is hugging and jumping except for Josh and Sharon the current HOH's. Julie informs everyone that it is totally up to them if they chose to stay married and share a bed but their current partner is now their competition and then lets Ryan and Allison know that only one of them will be leaving tonight.

I love the look on their face as they hear this. Allison's face looks like it hurts from smiling and slowly she comes off her high.

We come back from break and Julie asks Ryan and Allison to make their statement to the guests and Allison's smile has turned upside down. God, I really can't stomach this girl.

Ryan's speech was mostly about being on the block every week and enjoying his time in the house and wants another week to be on the block.

Allison stands red faced and crying and talks about how it is really hard to say something against someone she has grown to love and respect. She really wants to be there. She has a lot more she wants to do there.

Live voting begins with Adam who votes to evict Allison.

Chelsia votes to evict Allison.

Matt votes to evict Allison.

Sheila votes to evict Allison.

It is official, Allison will be evicted.

Nat votes to evict Allison.

James votes to evict Allison.

Allison is told she is evicted and she leaves without a lot of hoopla since they had already done it before. She isn't even out and everyone is already chatting.

Sharon hasn't dropped her hands from her face or her throat for the past 30 minutes.

So the HOH competition will be played for the opportunity to win as an individual. Josh and Sharon had to sit out but I think they should have been allowed to participate since the game had changed.

In the end it was between Ryan and Adam with the "evicted" house guest Ryan winning.

Interesting!!!

Then Julie tells us WE will be able to take the game to a whole new level where WE the viewers get to chose from the evicted House Guests Parker, Jen, Amanda, Jacob, Alex and Allison who will come back to the house. I vote for Parker or Jacob.

Video from after the live show

American Idol Top 8 Girls Sing the 80's

To all readers who come here for AI updates, sorry I didn't post sooner.


So, I watched AI but my kids were awake so it was impossible to blog as it was on. So I headed over to Rickey.org so that I could post my AI recap.

Asia’h Epperson sang “I Wanna Dance With Somebody." For me it was ok. It is impossible for almost anyone to sound great singing a Whitney song except for Whitney. Back in the day, Whitney was THE SHIT! Everyone loved Whitney and if she had not met Bobbie Brown she could have had Beyonce's career but she fucked up and where was I? Oh yeah...back to Asia'h, she was ok. I like her when she isn't rocking her long wig. I like her with her cute curls. Something about her changes when she goes long. She isn't as likable. The one thing for me in Asiah's favor is that..her voice is recognizable. I could pick her voice out of any of the other girls.



Kady Malloy sang Queen's "I Want to Live Forever." Like Simon, I like Kady through her interviews but I don't think she did well. As Randy said, she hit those great, big notes but it didn't work. I think her time is up.

Amanda Overmyer sang “Hate Myself For Loving You” which was absolutely perfect for her. I like Amanda's voice but I hate to watch her perform. She looks so uncomfortable to me. Her performance seems forced and fake. The judges loved it!! In fact Simon told her that this was the best performance on the show because it was so real or something like that. See it here.

Carly Smithson sang “I Drove All Night" God damn I love this song. Carly is by far impressive. She can sing like a pro which as we are hearing she pretty much is. I love listening to her and really dig her sleeve tat but what the hell is it? Amy Winehouse on her arm???

Kristy Lee Cook sang “Faithfully” by Journey. I love anything Journey and I thought she was just ok. I was totally distracted by her very red tongue. We could lose her too.

Ramiele Malubay sang “Against All Odds” she is adorable with her tiny, little self. It was ok, very sweet and soft. Not her best for me but what do I know? Video here.

Brooke White sang “Love Is A Battlefield.” Wow! Great job. I love the way she changed the song to fit her and so did the judges. It was like Jewel singing Pat Benatar without the yodelling. Sex and beautiful with just a guitar accompaniment. See the video here.

Syesha Mercado sang “Saving All My Love For You” I really want to like her because I like her groove but...it didn't work for me. It was weak and pitchy. Poor Syesha. She does try.

Ghost Hunter's Return Tonight

Hooray I am thrilled, Ghost Hunters returns tonight on Sci Fi at 9:00 P.M. This is where you will find me.

They will be in Fort Mifflin in PA. Check out the preview here.

I have missed Grant, Jason and the gang, I heart Steve.

This is my favorite show!!!

Looking forward to another great season.

Outragous - My Soap Box Rant

This stuff disgusts me.

This is supposed to be my fun for me, entertainment blog but I just read something that sickens me.

This story on Foxnews is about a 25 year old women who was gang raped after receiving a date rape drug by two 14 year olds and a 16 year old. Her 2 and 4 year old children can be heard crying in the background. I am unsure as to why a women would open up a bottle of champagne when she is "entertaining" children, but, I digress.

As if this isn't bad enough, this is not the reason I am mentioning this on my blog.

The reason isn't her age, their age or the fact that her kids were present who are the exact ages of my own babies. No, the reason I am mentioning this is because the movie was posted on YouTube and viewed at least 600 times before being flagged and pulled from the site.

This site uses YouTube every single day to get footage of well just about anything but mostly for my Big Brother updates.

I am outraged that the video was posted, that 600 people witnessed this rape, and while I am not sure how many people flagged it before it was taken off, I am shocked that YouTube's stance is that they took it down as soon as it was flagged as inappropriate.

It certainly sounds like changes need to be made over at YouTube in order to make this free site safer.

Just sayin'

Ok..stepping down.

Big Brother - Til Death Do Us Part

Ok...so I joined BB as they started the VETO competition.

Allison thought she had it in the bag. She knows puzzles and she figured it out.

Matt and Natalia played like the troopers they are and pulled the win yet again.

It was so close but Natalia kept her cool and knew how to talk to Matt telling him when to pull her up and when to let her do the puzzle.

Allison and Ryan know they are going home and you can see on her face that she knows she dug her grave.

Matt and Nat were so cute jumping around after the win and she is so excited that he is happy. Poor Nat.

Sheila and Adam feel that they are going up when Matt and Nat come off the block.




Interestly when Matt and Nat won, Chelsia was upset. She knows that they are a strong couple in the house and wants them out.

Matt walked around talking to Ryan and Allison talking to them and telling them to fight.

Matt and Nat winning

Allison sat around crying how Ryan is going down because of her and how Josh hates her and she doesn't even know why. (more crying)

BB Editing showed us Sheila and Adam yelling at each other so that we knew the house guests will chose to put them up.

We saw Matt talking to Josh and asking for Sharon. He heads to the HOH and "charm" her so that later on down the line he takes some of the heat off himself when his job is done and they start looking at him to evict. He tells Sharon how much he isn't attracted to Nat. He doesn't like girls who show their stuff. She's a great girl and she is going to make someone happy just not him.

He hid in the HOH with Sharon when Nat knocked on the door. He held her hand and then layed one on her. Totally making out and thinking that she fell right into his trap. She knows he's trying to play her and will play the card. "Bring it on."

Josh comes up and tells Matt that Nat is stalking him. Searching the house everywhere. She finds him in the room and asks for a massage. He tells her maybe tomorrow.

When he leaves she tells Sharon and Josh that he is so hot for her that is why he stays away. Poor Nat.

Sharon tells Josh how Matt was playing her and trying to "kiss on her." Funny, it didn't look like trying to me. It looked like he DID.

Nat is upset and storms around the house.

Matt tries talking to Nat and tries to set the record straight on his feelings. He apologizes and doesn't want her to take his feelings for her wrong.

Nat gets pissed and shouts for him to listen and stop being macho. She is tired of feeling like scum and him treating her poorly. (Continue arguing in front of the house, James defends her)

Poor Nat is consumed with the Soul Mate BB premise and will be hurt in the end.

Allison tries talking to Josh and talks about how they were friends. Yada, yada...

He is tired of being malipulated and he tells her that she will be leaving. She tells him that he doesn't control the game.

The house guests are informed about a SIREN they could hear at any time and when they do they should all grab and gather in the living room for an announcement.

Nat and Allison talk in the bathroom about the reason for the siren and what it could mean. Allison thinks it could be another Power Couple.

Matt and Natalia take themselves off the block and Josh nominates Sheila and Adam.

Top 8 Guys Sing the 80's

Luke Menard sang Jitterbug. I don't know, he seems just kind of ok. There is something missing. He isn't a bad singer and he isn't ugly there is just one factor that he misses out on. He has nothing special about him

Randy - It started out rough. You got it together in the end. It was a little corny but alright.

Paula - I disagree. I was surprised you picked it. You are musical and I loved your interpretation of it.

Simon - Luke, I will make this quick. I didn't like it. It was weak. There is no chance you are going to make it through.

David Archuleta sang Paradise. I love David and always loved this song. I really liked how he updated the song. He is adorable and can sing like a pro.

Randy - It is like watching a concert. I thought it was good. It didn't show off all your vocals. It was nice.

Paula - I loved that there were a couple notes that were off because it proves that you are not a make believe person.

Simon - It wasn't as good as last week. You are getting a little gloomy with your song choices. Lighten up a little bit.

Danny Noriega sang Tainted Love which I have always hated. Danny is an ok singer but I just can't stand him. He disturbs me and he is just so strange. Check out David's Christmas message

Randy - It started out pitchy but I loved the arrangement. I like the way you did it at the end. You can did this. He is never shy in attitude but he is vocally.

Paula - I love it. You are this bright light in this competition. You are real. You have great vocals. Be true to yourself. You look fabulous. Spicy and sensitive.

Simon - I thought it was horrible. Absolutely useless. Hated the arrangement, the performance the vocals. I didn't like anything.

David Hernandez spoke about a "booger" in his nose. Gross. Sang that damn Celine Dion Coming Back To Me Now song. God damn I HATE anything Celine. It as ok. It was an odd choice for me. I don't get it. What the hell? But all and all it was ok.

Randy - Nice song choice. I thought it was really good. Some pitch problems where you get a little sharp.

Paula - You are a very good performer. I think you have some of the best vocals.

Simon - It wasn't as good as last week. You have 100% secured a place in the finals.

Michael Johns sang Don't you Forget about Me from one of my favorite 80's movies, The Breakfast Club. God damn he is back. This is the Michael I fell in love with. Yeah baby this guy rocks. Great vocals and good performer. But I have to wonder about this being a really good send off song too. I hope he didn't jinx himself. I think he sang an Inxs song in the auditions too.

Randy - It was the Aussie boy went home. You kind of remind me of Michael. I loved it.

Paula - I am so glad that you are the type of artist who defines who you are. I love the strength in your low range. You have this presence. You are all unique and different.

Simon - Michael, I liked it. I didn't love it. I still think of you as a huge talent but haven't picked the right song yet. I really like you. I think you are going to do really well.

David Cook sang my absolute favorite Lionel Richie song Hello. I love this song. After a rough start I thought he was really good and I like the rock style of this song. I really love his voice. He is trying to stand out and I hope it works for him. By the way. .. I loved the ending.

Randy - You made a slightly evil version of a LR song. I thought it was brilliant.

Paula - I totally love when you come on that stage. You are a great talent. I believe you are going to be a shining star.

Simon - That was a very brave thing to do and I loved it. I like people who go out there and take a few risks. I hope we are going to see you next week.

David Castro - Nicholas Cage with dreads sang without the guitar. He sang, Hallelujah. I love David's voice. He is so sexy. I don't know that this is something that will be remembered as a great performance but I really liked it.

Randy - Great degree of difficulty. You did a pretty good job. It is a tall order.

Paula - Although it is a level of difficulty. I am so glad that you showed a vulnerability. You are exactly what I love about this season. Unique.

Simon - Jeff Buckley's version is one of my favorite versions of all time. It was brilliant. One of my favorite of the whole night. You are getting better and better and better.

Chikezie - Sang All The Man That I Need. Ahhh I love this friggin song. He sounds awesome on this song and he rocked it. I love his smile and he makes me smile. There I'm friggin cheezy. Sue me. Loved it.

Randy - Interesting song choice. You did a good job. Impressed. I thought it was really good.

Paula - Again, your, your personality..you switched it up on me. You guys are rocking. It's so

good tonight. I am proud of you.

Simon - It was a Whitney song? No...I don't think that worked at all. You were ok on bits. Not as good as last week. I don't think that was a very smart move.

OH wacky Paula...she scares me. At least she wasn't ripping heads off and hanging them from her mirror this week.

Ok...so Luke is leaving is it one or two leaving? I don't remember if it is two...if so it will be Chikeze and Luke.

Big Brother - Till Death Do Us Part

Last nights show recap - a quick run down.

Allison is digging her own grave. All of her lies are catching up to her and I can't wait to see her go.

I feel bad that Ryan is partnered with her and will go down also but really what has he brought to the show since Jen left?

The whole Josh, Allison fight cracks me up. She thinks she is playing everyone and that she has this game in the bag. Has there ever been a more annoying chick on BB?

What is up with Matt telling Nat not to get attached to him again? Is he that much of a prize?

Can you believe Josh and Sharon put Matt on the block again? The poor dude keep getting put up there because they really need him to win POV so that the nominations stay the same. They could at least warn him so he won't seem so surprised.

To be honest I don't really care who wins at this point. I guess Sharon is the only person that hasn't annoyed me yet. So there, I guess I hope Sharon wins.

Allison wants to leave the show and sue Josh - He threatened that he would strangle her and slit her throat. - My God I am so sick of Allison. She keeps saying that Josh isn't sane but I am wondering who is really insane here? She is also pissed that Ryan didn't defend her to Josh and also seems a bit bitter that she hasn't been able to steal Ryan from Jen. "I have never not gotten someone that I've wanted."

Harlow Winter Madden Will Not Have A Simple Life!

Here's are pictures of Nicole's beautiful baby girl with her baby daddy Joel Madden from the pages of People Magazine.

I love the coloring on this one. It is very early 70's to me.

Doesn't she look really bemused in this one? Like is that a friggin earring in your ear? Or Who is this ugly chick holding me? She is really beautiful and I love her little white dress. Cuuutee.


Look at those eyes and those lips. She is a knockout.

American Idol Eliminations

31 million votes.

For The Guys
Jason Yeager - I honestly think he has a pretty decent voice but someone has to go right?

Robbie Carrico - I think Robbie is cute but we could lose him although he looked pretty hot to me. A poor man's Brett Michaels.

For The Girls

Alexandrea Lushington - the Hoplessly Devoted to You girl is sobbing and does a little bit of the "ugly cry." She says that she won't be able to sing but manages to sound about the same even with that golf ball in her throat and her eyes and nose running.

Alaina Whitaker - I wasn't surprised about Alaina. I thought she was ok but we could lose her. Someone has to go.

Idol comes back on March 11, with the Top 12.

A whole different ball game people, new stage, and the sign holders of course.

Ruben Studdard is going to be there to performed a song. Haven't we seen Ruben on already?

Big Brother Till Death Recap 8

Like holy crap I have been calling Sharon, Shannon. Could someone have corrected me????

Anyway...

Ok so Julie tells us about Alex and Amanda and Matt and Nat being on the block after Josh and Sharon decide to honor HOH's wishes and not use the POV.

Alex tells us that he likes Matt and will not campaign against him. Matt says he likes Alex but is going to do what it takes to stay in the house.

Matt and Adam are talking outside and Matt tells Adam, "just try to make me stay." Umm...were they ever really close? I don't recall but Adam tells Matt that he's "got him." They shake and move on.

We see Matt spotting Natalia who is weight lifting in a red bikini. Big Brother keeps showing us Allison sitting on the couch eating and watching them so I am guessing that we will now see Allison in Diary hating on Nat.

Voice over Allison tells us that it hit her that Matt and Nat are already strong and will be tough to beat. Does she mean strong strength wise or strong as a couple? I am confused.

Next we see her heading to the HOH room. Her brilliant idea to the folks in the HOH room are that "Matt and Nat have been eating real food all week plus they are strong. Alex and Amanda have been on slop all week, plus they have been on the block all week which makes them weaker. Just something to think about." I honestly am not sure what difference this makes in the scheme of the rest of their time in the BB house. Slop won't be forever but whatever I guess they are thinking Amanda and Alex will not be able to win HOH from being so tired.

Adam tells her "You've put a lot of thought in this girl" and that he is voting for Matt to stay in the house.

Allison says she would rather send home Matt and Nat. I am confused as to when the house guests started listening to her and why did she run to HOH and not to her partner Ryan with this brain storm?

James is thinking of possibly putting Operation Condor on hold and getting rid of Matt and Nat.

We then see Matt telling Nat that he has Adam on his side and now she has to remind Josh and Sharon to vote to keep them in the house.

Editing makes me think that Matt and Nat are going home. We'll see.

Nat goes to Sharon and Josh and tells them that Adam and Sheila are going to vote to keep them in and that Sheila can't stand Amanda. She promises that if she and Matt get HOH they will be safe next week.

We get to see James's story and how he has bicycled all over the place.

Chelsia talks about how she was a brat and very invovled in choir and ice skating, science club. Then the shocker...Chelsia tells James that if she wins the money she is donating to Make A Wish. I am shocked! You?

She also tells James that if they win they should bike across the US together. Cute.

Julie asks James about the house and he says that everyone has lost themselves and they are very materialistic "they want new cars, houses" and when Julie asks what he wants with the money he answers like a true 21 year old. "I want inspire people to bike around the world, go back to LA, party with some friends and hit the road." Ummm ok.

Sheila and Adam vote to evict Alex and Amanda because he had told James that he would follow Operation Condor.

Josh and Sharon vote to evict Alex and Amanda. Josh seems very sad about this and puts his head down when he says their names.

Ryan and Allison vote to evict Amanda and Alex.

I am actually very sad by this because I think Natalia needs to go but whatever.

Ok...I need Allison to go. I can't take her face anymore. Her and her phony self piss me off.

The New HOH competition is about the "Love" quotes all around the house. The girls face off and Sharon wins that round. Then the guys face off and Josh wins. So....Sharon and James are the new Head of Household.

Pearls of the Internet - Check out Sounds

My kids are always asking me what a particular animal sound like. "Mom, what does a Giraffe sound like? How about a camel, badger, elephant, whale, whatever?

While surfing today we found this site, we listened to all the animal sounds and then I found this really wonderful site. The worst part of the whole thing was my daughter asking "what do you think he's saying" after each sound.

I played the sounds and they had to try to guess. It was really fun for all of us. We had fun with the Household category and the loved the burping sounds. Go figure.

American Idol Top 10 Girls

Carly Smithson – “Crazy On You” by Heart who I absolutely love. I think Carly is smokin hot. She has an incredible voice and if she can handle Heart she can handle anything. I also dig her tat sleeve. Cool!

Randy - So you picked a rocker this week. It was good towards the middle and the end. Sharp in the beginning. You got it together. It was alright.

Paula - You can tell you love Heart. Just go crazy. You are an amazing singer.

Simon - I thought it was a much better performance than last week. You are panting. I still don't think you have connected with the right song. You are an incredible singer. I think you are the girl they all have to beat. She is one heck of a singer.

Syesha Mercado – “Me And Mr. Jones" Interesting that she has done a commercial prior to Idol. When they showed it, I totally remembered it. "Dwayne, find me a big, beautiful chair." She can sing and I like her. She is really smooth and I like her vibe. The big earrings, the scarf, the fro all add to her appeal.

Randy - I don't think it was a great song choice. Pick songs that you can sing big. Give it what you got. That was a taste of what you got.

Paula - You fall off pitch when you go soft. I like the choices you made.

Simon - I thought it was a bit indulgent. It was a silly thing to do since the song wasn't written for a women. It is not a song that was designed for your voice. I don't think it was a clever choice for you.

Brooke White – “You’re So Vain” I think Brooke is cute. She looks like a mermaid. Sort of like Darryl Hannah in what the hell was that movie. I don't really love this song but dig that she worked the guitar. It was ok. It felt like I was watching some singer on Mike Douglas (probably just aged myself).

Randy - It was a great song choice. I liked it. Was this song about a guy on this panel.

Paula - I feel like this was the perfect song choice for you. Everyone was digging it.

Simon - I absolutely loved it. It was rare occasion where I feel the artist had chose the right song. This was the reason we put you though.

Ramiele Malubay – “Don’t Leave Me This Way”. I really like little chick's voice. She has such a beautiful tone. I never liked this song but she as Randy would say, did her thing, I was just bored.

Randy - Listen this was rough for me. This was just ok. You can really sing. It was kind of ok. Just really ok.

Paula - You are one to beat here. Your vocals are truly amazing. It was a song that you powered through and you didn't get to show your magic.

Simon - Astonishingly I agree with Paula. I have heard it so many times. I thought you were much, much better last week. I think you are different. One of the top 3 in the competition.

Kristy Lee Cook – “You’re No Good” Well, she enjoys "getting dirty" also "if you name it she will try it." Interesting since she has a big male fan base. She looked cute. I didn't think she pulled off this song. What is up with the leg stance? Why does she always look like she is trying to be tough? I didn't like it.

Randy - Well all I can tell you that was a 100 percent improvement over last week. It was pretty in tune. I liked it.

Paula - You are back, you are back, you're back. Good song choice.

Simon - This week was a huge improvement. I am not sure what type of singer you really, really are. If you go the Country route you will find it easier to make a statement.

Amanda Overmyer – Who I like, was sporting some scary hair. We find out Amanda likes to read. Is this shocking? Do you have to look like a librarian to love books? She sang Wayward Son which I actually love and is on one of my favorite albums by Kansas. I didn't love it. I really wanted to. It was a bit rough. The low parts really sucked. She didn't pick a good song for her voice. She also screwed up the words a bit. I think she just wanted to rock out her little crazy leg dance. She sounds good only when she is yelling out some lyrics on this one.

Randy - So you know for me it wasn't the right song choice. Too much melody. Too many instrumental breaks. Versus were very pitchy.

Paula - You got some move. You can dance. Do what fits right. You are special and you are needed in this competition.

Simon - I thought in your film you seemed very natural and then everything felt contrived. None of it felt natural or real. I couldn't wait for it to finish.

Alaina Whitaker – Sang "Hopelessly Devoted To You" Had nothing interesting to say so we hear how she doesn't like the food on her plate to touch. She looked beautiful in her blue dress but I always hated this song. You can go on Sims on Stage anytime and hear people singing this better than her.

Randy - I like that song. I don't think that was the right song. It sounded strange when you belted. It wasn't my favorite.

Paula - I think you did a real good job. I forget how young you are. I don't think it was a bad as Randy heard.

Simon - It's almost as if your grandmother prepared you for this audition. There is a way to be 17 and be current. I actually think you are one of the dark horses. I like you more now. You have to sort yourself out and be more relevant.

Alexandrea Lushington – “If You Leave Me Now” I thought she didn't start out strong. She never found her way for me. It was so boring. She will be leaving tomorrow.

Randy - It was safe. You have made vocal skills, never make safe choices. It was safe and boring.

Paula - I feel like you did let go and you did your own arrangements. Very impressed.

Simon - I was a big fan in the earlier stages. It is absolutely stuck in its time period. You looked uncomfortable. It was boring.

Kady Malloy – “Magic Man” She can sing opera. Who knew? She is so damn cute and her voice started out very weak but sort of found her way. She is attractive but can she keep up with some of the other girls here? I am not really sure why she picked this song. I didn't love it especially the ending.

Randy - Interesting song choices. It never found pitch. You never found it. It didn't work.

Paula - When you powered you sounded great. I think you have many hidden talents.

Simon - I am struggling. I am frustrated. Everything you do on your film is fantastic.

Asia’h Epperson – "All By Myself" Loving the extensions she was sporting but I think she lost some of her cuteness. I wasn't loving it. This is a really hard song to sing and you really need to have the pipes to sing it. She has the pipes but she couldn't handle the song.

Randy - Very difficult. You did a good job with it.

Paula - I can't even translate, mostly arms, legs and mouth. Got the picture?

Simon - Diva song of all time. You have got to be a Diva to pull it off. You have got to be incredible. The song was too big for you. It showed you up.

For me Carly was my favorite. I am a bit disappointed with the girls. I have been hearing that this is the best idol but I am not sure about that. Not many big voices on tonights show.

Good luck ladies.

Big Brother Til Death Do Us Part

Ok...if you have been reading this blog this whole show was pretty much old news to you but here is the recap anyway.

Chelsia tells James that Matt is really mad. He doesn't care because you are supposed to "lie, cheat, steal, whatever it takes to win".

Matt and Natalia talk about how mad they are because the were told they would be safe.

Alex is outside pouting in his mandales (shiver) and tells Amanda that he wants to be left alone. Not nicely either, "leave me alone."

She tells him that she is pissed to but wants him to have a positive attitude. He says he has a positive attitude towards the game but negative to her and again asks if she will leave so that he doesn't lash out at her.

The next scene we see Natalia and Allison dressed in bathing suits and armed with Windex. Totally gross. Allison acting like a cowboy grosses me the frig out.

Matt, Sheila and Amanda discuss Allison and her attitude since getting off the block. Sheila feels played by Allison.

Adam, Matt and James are standing together outside and Matt tells James how upset he was and how he felt betrayed.

Alex and Matt talk about how tricky James is. James tells them this is a game and he is just playing the game.

The Veto Competition:
Sharon and Josh play along with the HOH James and Chelsia and the Nominated Matt and Natalia and Alex and Amanda.
Adam is hosting.

Matt and Alex vow to win so that one of the will be able to get off the block and send Chelsia and James home.

The house guests walk out to the back yard in hard hats and see a bunch of power lines.

The winner of the competition gets the Power of Veto but for the first time in Big Brother History communications with the outside world will be enabled.

Josh and Sharon won the POV. Will they take a couple off the block and go against HOH's nominations? I doubt it.

Ok...so communication with the outside world is a 2 foot wide news scroller. It holds only about 2 words of a sentence and scrolls. It was funny to hear the house guests read. They sound like they are in the 2nd grade reading together. It was also funny to hear them say Barack Obama (bear rick).

One of the items that scrolled was something about the Hudson River Virus which got James's mind racing. He started to look around and noticed that the colors of the game, blue, green, yellow and red are also the colors of that little hamster toy thingy. He is waiting for his next clue.

Next..Matt is lying down as Allison tweezes his eyebrows while Natalia picks at her face in the mirror. Allison says, "women have a natural tendency to want to groom men." Huh, what the hell is she talking about. I have never once wanted to tweeze my husbands eyebrows or buff his nails.

Sheila has been talking about how upset she is with the way Allison is treating her. She feels Allison has turned on her after she and Adam voting for her to stay in the house. I am not sure why Sheila is so upset. You would think they really had a relationship, hello it's only been 16 days in the house.

Shannon goes up to HOH to tell Allison that Sheila is mouthing off about her. So Allison tells the room that she is going to go talk to Sheila and she doesn't understand why no one else in the house has talked to Sheila about her mouth. She tells everyone to come downstairs, "why don't you guys come down. Who cares?" She is dying for an audience so that she can lay into Sheila and feel like the big deal she thinks she is.

She confronts Sheila and of course it turns ugly. They are both fake and you can tell by Allison's face that she totally know what Sheila is talking about but doesn't care to admit it. Allison had her I'm better than you stance going. Here's the video from You Tube.

Ryan, Allison's partner came in to defend her. Why not, she is his partner and if she gets eliminated they both do.

Shannon and Allison are talking outside while Allison jogs. Allison heads quickly to the Diary room and we hear her say "I think I am having an allergic reaction, my throat is closing."

Amanda and Natalia are in the kitchen where Amanda is filing her nails. Gross.

Amanda tells Natalia that she needs sugar and that she is hypoglycemic. They start walking to the bedroom and Amanda passes out.

Nat runs to get the house guests and they come running in. Ryan and James are first. Amanda is face down and they turn her over. James jumps up and rings the bell in the Diary Room. Amanda comes to and is hyperventilating. You hear the guys talking about Allison being in there all blown up. "She can't talk and her face is swollen."

The nurse is totally earning her keep, first Allison and now Amanda. The move chairs and she turns Amanda over so that she can put something in her throat. It looks like some sort of sugar substance. James is holding her shoulders and Ryan for some reason is holding her ankle. The nurse tells James to help sit her up and tells Amanda to start sucking.

The nurse requests juice and Ryan tells someone to get juice, then he is coming at Amanda with a big jug of juice. The nurse asks for a glass.

Even though I know everything is ok, it was a really disturbing moment and hard to watch. You hear sirens in the background, Sheila is holding her mouth, the nurse is telling Amanda to swallow so she can stabilize. So dramatic seeing the medics work on Amanda to get her ready for the stretcher and to hear the nurse say, "I was shooting that one when this one went down."

Poor Amanda who has to go to the hospital alone is crying, "I just need some sugar."

The house guests are watching, biting their nails and look worried.

Afterwards they discuss how disturbing it was and how James really stepped up to help.

The girls come back and everyone welcomes them. Allison and Amanda talk about their experience.

Back to the POV...Shannon and Josh decide not to use the Power of Veto.

American Idol Top 10 Boys Sing - Recap

The kids didn't want to get into bed tonight so I missed the first 4 guys but I heard them sing from the bedrooms.

Head over to Rickey to hear the audio.

I heard Michael John sang Go Your Own Way. I am a big Fleetwood Mac fan so I was happy to hear my favorite guy sing a song from a band I love. He appeared to lose some of his mojo for me but he can sing and did ok.

Jason Castro is next with I Just Want to Be Your Everything which I believe is an Andy Gibb song. I was putting my daughter to bed and could hear it. I thought it started off good but now I believe it was the music and the fact that I hadn't heard the song in a long time. You know, that nostalgic feeling you get when you hear something that reminds you of yesteryear. He was a little dull but I do love this guy. So friggin cute.

Luke Menard sang Killer Queen and well he um, this just isn't his type of song. It was ok and I do believe he will be going home this week.

Robbie Carrico sang Hot Blooded. I just don't get this guy. Last week Simon mentioned that he thought he is trying to be rock but is more a pop singer. I agree with that. I wasn't impressed though I want to be. Sorry Robbie.

Danny Noriega sang - Superstar by the Carpenters. I am a huge Carpenter fan. I just don't get the Danny hype that I read on the message boards. He disturbs me. He reminds me of Marilyn Manson without the weird clothes and makeup. He did ok. It didn't suck but whatever.

Randy - I felt like you were thinking while you were singing. Let it go. Don't think about it.

Paula - You got amazing vocal skills. You can't over think it. Forget about us. Just perform.

Simon - This was better than last week. I think you were trying so hard. You stand out in the crowd and you are interesting. You look terrific in the camera by the way.

David Hernandez sang Papa was a Rolling Stone. I thought he did a great job. Really great vocal. Plus he reminds me of a kid I know so I am a little jaded. He finished strong.

Randy - This is the David Hernandez we fell in love with. That was hot.

Paula - Your voice is pure. Unbelievable. Amazing notes. Your personality came out. Perfect.

Simon - This may surprise you but in my opinion that was the best vocal of the night. I am a fan.

Jason Yeager - Sang Long Train Runnin. I absolutely love this song. He did a really good job on the vocals. His voice was smooth and really fit the song. I loved the drum break down. Got to love the drums!

Randy - Not a singer kind of song. It was pitchy and karaoke.

Paula - Well, from last week to this week it was fun to see this side of you. Its a song that doesn't have many notes. Pick singer songs.

Simon - Last week was boring, this week was awkward. Horrific ending. Drunk at a party. Corny. Very disappointed.

Chikeze Eze sang a song that I will have to look up. Anyway...he was good. He can sing. He is likable. It's funny because he looks so soft, sweet but then he has that nice, smooth voice.

Randy - So listen this is the guy we fell in love with. You were having fun. That was hot.

Paula - Very clever to pick a song with a story. Brilliant. It was fun.

Simon - I have got to tell you, you look better. You sound better. It was a clever choice of song.


David Cook sang All Right Now with his guitar. I love a guy who can sing and play. I actually love this guy. He is really growing on me. I like the tone and raunch in his voice. Very well suited for this song. His beady eyes are the only thing that turns me off.

Randy - You know what I love. I love the picks thrown to the crowd. You are a real rocker. I liked it. I really believed you right there.

Paula - The band is on fire. You are the real deal. When You got it, you got. Smart, fun, relevant.

Simon - It was solid. I don't think that film helped you. It was boring. You don't have a lot of charisma.

David Archuleta - sang Imagine. He looked different with his hair cut. I didn't love it but I am sure it will grow on me. OMG can this kid sing or what? He is so cute and has a really good voice. Very calm and sweet.

Randy - I have been saying it is about the young ones. THat is one of the best vocals I have heard on this show. You are singing with such maturity. One thing, why didnt you sing the first verse? Fire!

Paula - You are ridiculous I want to squish you and squeeze your head off and hang you from my mirror. One of the most moving perfomances I ever heard.

Simon - Very risky to do John Lennon. It worked. Right now you are the one to beat. 19 miserable contestants after that.

Is Diego the Text Messenger Killer on GH?

Ummm...interesting little twist. First I thought it was Maxie's boyfriend Cooper. Then I thought it was that weird guy from Kelly's. Now it turns out that it Diego Alcazar who is supposed to be dead.

I guess his stint on Ghost Whisper wasn't paying the bills.

Sonny and Claudia's stand off was just odd. Them standing with their guns aimed on each other for 20 minutes was exhausting.

Damn Michael's voice has changed. When he called Carly to tell her he was ok he sounded very much the teenager.

Alexis and Kate hanging out seems to have come from out of no where. I guess GH knew that she would need guests when she was layed up in the hospital after being shot so they created a friendship for her.

Diego tells Sam how as his father held his dying son he felt a pulse and how he acted quickly to save his son by hiring a fantastic surgeon.

Diego tells Sam that he had planned on killing Skye first but Laticia spotted him so he had to kill her first.

The text messages killer thing came about because his father had text him saying "I'm coming for you." He decided that after he killed Laticia he would let people know that they were going to be killed.

Sam is dumb. Why would she spend time trying to call someone after she hits Diego. Why not run out of there and then make the friggin call?

Sonny telling Claudia that she was a one night stand and her laughing in his face about him being whipped by Kate is too funny. Neither of them are saints.

Jason runs in and Claudia says, "hello handsome." Sonny asks if they know each other and Jason says not as well as you do. Hahaha....

I love the original Carly as Claudia. She is hot and rocks the tight mini dress like no one else.

Sonny needs to increase his meds and Jason needs to find another job. I am tired of him taking Sonny's bullshit.

Big Brother Videos - Spoilers - ADULT CONTENT

Tonight I checked out film.com who had an interesting spoiler that will definitely NOT be shown on TV.

After the liqueur party there was a strip show by Nat and Chelsia where the guys stuffed money into their thongs. This was followed by a dip in the pool and then a kiss fest that included the likes of Natalie kissing Matt, Alex, James and even Adam. Natalie kissing Chelsia. Chelsia kissing Alex, Matt, James and Josh. Natalie and Chelsia kissing Josh together. Sharon kissing Matt and then Alex.

Chelsia and Natalia strip for the house.

Strip video

When I find pictures of this I will post. Here is video though oh and some more over at Morty's

Pool Kissfest

The girls go crazy because Natalie is lactating. Why is Chelsia so excited by this, "that is sweet." Natalia explains that she had a baby 4 years ago and still lactates. It's not a freak show people. So bizarre that everyone is so confused.

Chelsia, Matt and Allison lying all over each other and discussing having an orgy.

Sex toys or dental dams discussion. So nasty watching Matt demonstrate for the camera and then tonguing Sheila was just too much for my stomach. Sheila almost slid out of her chair she was so excited by this.

Alex and Ryan help Amanda take her blood for a sugar test. A little concerned that there isn't a hazardous container for needle receptacle near by.

Natalia does her rubber doll impersonation and Sheila is dissed by James.

Sheila and Natalia discuss other houseguests over a game of pool.

Man hating by Sheila 101

Mother Natalia talks about her personal spiritual messages

Picture taking with the houseguests. Why does Chelsia feel the needs to cover Allison's boobs for her? Is she not capable herself?

Taking pictures with the houseguests. Natalia begs Matt to take a picture with her.

James and Amanda talk about the game.

Amateur Movie Review - Saw IV

Last night the husband wanted to rent Saw IV.

It was about 10:00 and I was exhausted from playing with the kids in the snow for a few hours but I am always up to find something to do with my husband that we both are into.

With the business of taking care of two kids under 5 and him running his own business 24 hours a day it is hard to stay connected. We are very different and have different interests so I love when we can come together on movie night.

As soon as it started he sat on the couch cringing and saying to tell him when it was over, "why did I want to rent this again?"

It was a bit gory and nail biting at time. If you have seen the first 3 movies you know that is the case.

It was a little confusing at the end and we had to back track to watch the last 5 minutes again but I got it. Basically it was a set up for the next Saw movie.

If you like blood and gore, this is the movie for you.

Check out this little video from a You Tuber to catch some of the highlights from all 4 movies. Quick shots just like the movie. Here is the trailer from Saw IV. Enjoy!

Big Brother 9 - Till Death Do Us Part Recap 6

Sorry for the delay on the Recap. Blogger was giving me a hard time today.

On Episode 6 we hear Allison tell Diary that she is glad Jen is gone and how Ryan deserves someone better than Jen, "now Ryan and I can grow our relationship and our friendship." As if she stands a chance.

We get to see who is happy that Chelsia and James got HOH.

Alex and Amanda are nervous and feel they will be targeted.

Matt and Natalia feel very safe.

Allison feels safe because she entrusted Chelsia with her lesbian lie. Ok?

Josh is really happy they have HOH

As per the HOH competition the house guests return to the house to find all their cups gone.

Matt tells us that "cups are a very essential part of life, we use them for drinking and whatnot." He really is an Einstein isn't he? I just want to know what the whatnot is. Scared a him.

Matt and James are discussing the game, "Jen came in sprinting and this is a marathon."

James lets Matt know that he will not be going up on the block. Matt tells him "thank you" and that he won't have to worry if Matt gets HOH. James tells Matt that he and Chelsia give their word that he will not be going up on the block.

Matt wants to know if the camera and America got that. I really wish he would stop talking to the camera.

Josh walks over to Sharon who is sitting on the couch. He tells her there is another couple (Sheila and Allison). I love how low key Sharon is right now. She is just flying under the radar.

Joshuah tells Sharon that he is going to hold them hostage with the secret and swears Sharon to secrecy.

Chelsia and James and the house guests run up to see their HOH room. Why does James remind me of Daniel Cook all grown up?

Chelsia screaming when she gets into the room is silly. She was loud, obnoxious and childish. She was insane.

Chelsia and James tell Natalia that they already spoke to Matt and that they will not be put on the block.

James goes out to Adam and Ryan and tells them what his plans are. I actually really respected this. They called it "Operation Condor."

He tells them the top shelf has to go. He wants Alex and Amanda out.

Ryan says he has been on the block and is hoping to have a week off of being on the block and after that he will do whatever they need him to do.

Natalia tells Amanda that she really likes "Matty." That she thinks he so cute and how he wants 5 to 7 kids and she wants 5 to 7 kids. Got to love the music playing whenever they showed Matt.

Natalia practically begged Matt to take a bath with her. She begs him to bring the soap to her. He walks in and in his cocky, bastard way tells her, "sweetie, as much as I want to, there is no way we are going to have sex."

She asks, "what makes you think I want to have sex?" Too funny. The a blind guy would know she wants to have sex.

He tells her that he knows he could have sex with her right now.

I guess she never heard that old saying, "why buy the cow, when you are getting the milk for free?"

I'm not saying they had sex, I'm just saying, if you constantly flash your stuff why would he want a piece of it. He's already seen it from every angle. A little self respect babe. I'm just saying.

Allison informs Sheila that she wants to tell Chelsia and Josh that they are not lesbians.

Sheila is concerned that they will turn on them because they "used that card." Umm...she means the gay card. Give me a break. He is going to be pissed that you lied, not that you lied about being gay!

I love Sheila sitting there saying, "I hate lying." Dude, you friggin lied just to lie! Sup with that? There was absolutely no reason for this little twist of the truth.

The 1st food competition is totally funny and gross. Dead fish and a bunch of house guests in swimsuits is just too strange. Who comes up with this stuff?

Oh no, Allison cannot go on slop because she "likes to eat a variety of healthy foods!" Duh!

Thank goodness her team won the food competition. I would hate it if she couldn't eat her healthy foods.

The house tries slop and all agree how gross it is. I am dying to taste it. How bad could it be?

Why does Amanda have to talk about herself in the 3rd person? "A bad week for Amanda." I hate that!

I loved the "buono" segment where we see Amanda under a blanket with Ryan in the back yard saying, "buono" in her baby voice. I love how BB edited it with the house guests all mimicking her and talking about how much they hate her saying "buono".

All the clips of her saying "buono" and hearing from Natalia that she says it at least 30 times a day and that Amanda thinks it means "hello" cracked me up.

"Matt yells out "Hola" and then we see him in Diary saying, "buono means good!"

All the house guests trying to say it in Amanda's voice made me laugh out loud.

I also loved the 7th grade moment between James and Chelsia where she prances in the HOH room to James eating cereal and he says, "I've got to tell you, I like you a lot." She asks why and he says, "because you are a rad chick."

Then the music and their little discussion about going to bed. Him asking her in a little boy voice to join him in bed and her pretending she doesn't want to get into bed.

Him wanting to start something, her being aloof and then asking if he is going to bed. Cute.

Sheila and Amanda told Chelsia and Josh about not being lesbians. Chelsia and Josh are pissed that they were lied to and confused as to why you would start a false rumor about yourself.

James and Chelsia put Alex and Amanda and Natalia and Matt up for eviction.

Matt is confused and pissed. He was told that he would not be going on the block.

James tells everyone that he knows that Matt and Natalia are the strongest couple in the house and that he intends on getting Alex and Amanda out of the house. He knows that Natalia and Matt can get the POV getting his picks out of the house.

I am not sure why James didn't tell Matt that he would put him up but I know that they will make up in the long run. Matt is just pissed right now.

Until next time...
