Relieved Again!

I’m relieved again.  I’m so relieved that Haeley Vaughn got voted off American Idol this week.

For those of you who don’t watch, this girl is a hot mess when she sings.  This week she took on Miley Cyrus’s “The Climb.”  And let me tell you, it is quite a gift to make Miley Cyrus look like a grade-A singer.  But Haeley pulled it off.  Congratulations for singing so terrible even people who hate Miley Cyrus would have rather had her singing instead.

I’m just going to go ahead and apologize for this post

If you know me well, you know that I watch The Bachelor/The Bachelorette every damn season. There have been a few seasons where I wish I knew how to quit you, but somehow I keep coming back every time.

Oddly enough, I’m not going to talk about this current season, even if it is quite entertaining.  I wish to merely express my deep affection for Reid from last season of The Bachelorette.  I still don’t understand how Jillian can be happy with Ed, knowing that Reid is out there.  Reid.  Reid.  Reid!

I don’t know what’s more attractive – the fact that Reid is essentially Chandler Bing in the flesh, or the fact that Reid has appeared on HGTV in an episode of My First Place.  Because let me tell you, HGTV is pretty much the only channel I watch when I’m not watching this show.

Also, I’m not the only one who thinks Reid is quite something.

I mean, it’s not like Ed or Kiptyn have entire videos on YouTube dedicated to their facial expressions in just episode 1.  Seriously?  I love that there are people out their crazier than me.  That’s the whole beauty of YouTube, you get a reality check on your sanity.

Speaking of reality check, doesn’t Chris Harrison always know just what to say?

My sister Audra and I are always secretly rooting one of the Bachelorettes will call Chris Harrison up to give him a rose instead of one of the contestants.  I’m pretty sure Jen Schefft wanted to.

The other night I was thinking that since on The Bachelor, 25 women show up who are ready to get married, and on The Bachelorette, 25 men show up for are ready to get married, they should make a show where they have 25 women and 25 men ready to get married and have them mingle and decide who they want to be with.  But then I realized this is real life at a bar.  I shouldn’t have thoughts.

And that’s the Word!

Today I purchased the Stephen Colbert “The Word” application from iTunes.  It was the best 99 cents I’ve spent all year.

I’ve resisted Lost thus far.  And I will continue to resist.  Lost, you are soooo resistable.

Some good TV

Over the past couple of months, I’ve really gotten into Dexter.  I think it’s one of the best TV shows I’ve seen in quite some time, and it’s really nice to see Michael C. Hall winning some awards for it.  And I’d like to take a short moment to convince you to watch it, if you don’t already…

Reasons to watch Dexter:

  1. It’s on Netflix instant viewing – so you don’t even have to make a commitment with your disc rotation!
  2. Dexter proves that you can make Jimmy Smits be any nationality you want with just a strategic mustache.  VOILA!

Okay, that’s all the clever reasons I could think of at the moment.  It’s just good.  Watch it.
