Oh Marissa

Last spring, after the season finale of the OC, I was a little upset that they killed off Marissa. But it wasn't until this weekend when I finished watched the entire third season again that I realized that I'm really goona miss her. Things will never be the same again. No more Core Four. No more Ryan & Marissa. No more Coop.
I really hope that they didn't completely jump the shark. Because the OC is literally my favorite show on tv, and I'm not quite ready for it to be over. I hope the people at Fox don't disappoint me by trying to do something cheesy, like make the show all about Kaitlyn. But who am I kidding, I'll watch no matter how things go.
Only two more days until it's return and I can't frrickin wait!!

Pilates & Sharks & Wedding Dresses...OH MY!!

The hometown dates episodes are always very interesting and very revealing. The Bachelor gets to meet his dates families, tour their hometowns and check out their digs.
First off was Sadie. Now, I missed this one, buthaven't heard anything crazy about it. She's my fave so I hope everything went well.
Then came Lisa......the wedding planner. Her best friend shows up and makes her (??) try on a wedding dress. She has bridal magazines on her coffee table. Her friend tells Lorenzo about her plan. Her parents tell him about her plan. Um....why the hell did she get a rose?? I don't get it.
Next was Jen. They went fishing and caught a shark. Then her father showed Lorenzo the gun he would be shot with if he ever did anything to hurt Jen. Um, that would be a little intimidating for me. I prolly would have pissed my pants. Maybe he did. Who knows.
Last was Agnese. Even though there is a huge language barrier, I really thought this was the best date. They seem to really connect and he was so sincere about everything he did and said. I was completely shocked when he gave Lisa the last rose and sent Agnese home.
She was right on the money when, between devastated sobbs in the limo, she said "He use more head than heart." I really thought he was falling for her, but what the hell do I know.
So next week is the exotic overnight dates. Will Sadie give in to her lustful thoughts and spend the night with Lorenzo?? God, I hope so!!!

The OC Season 3 on DVD

So today, Season 3 of The OC was released on DVD, and I of course ran out on my lunchbreak and bought it. God I love that show. I can't wait until next Thursday when it return with Season 4. It will be interesting to see how they handle things after Marissa's tragic death.


Check out a few clips from the new season.

The Bachelor: Boring

The Bachelor: Rome last night was actually quite boring. Tiara Erica's return was quite overrated. She came back and decided who got to go on the one on one dates with Lorenzo. She chose cute Sadie and Jennifer. Both had pretty romantic dates, but nothing got hot and/or steamy like in previous seasons. But both girls got roses on their dates, which guaranteed them a hometown date. That left Lisa, Agnese, Desiree and Jeannette for the group date, which was also pretty boring. In the end, to my surprise, Desiree and Jeannette got the boot. So he kept Lisa whih isn't a surprise, and Agnese which is a surprise. It will be interesting seeing him try to interact with her family.
I'm really rooting for Sadie now, cuz she seems the most down to earth to me. She really seems like she's there for all the right reasons.
But I can't wait for next week!! Lisa models her wedding dress (??) for Lorenzo and her sister tells him all about her timeline that she's been hiding from him. I hope it will be so overwhelming for him that he'll get rid of her.

No Chemistry = No Rose

Another great episode of the Bachelor: Rome. Three dates this week, three girls went home.
The first date was an intimate opera night with Jami, which she won in an opera-singing contest. She looked a lot like Julia Roberts in Pretty Women....stunning red dress complete with beautiful borrowed jewels. Things seemed to be going great, they were chatting, laughing and dancing....all very romantic. Then Princie tells her he felt like he was dancing with his best friend therefore can't give her a rose, and she's sent home in tears. Devastated. Cuz she loved him. Yadda yadda yadda, and now we're down to eight girls.
Date #2 was a group date with Desiree, Gina, Lisa, Sadie, Jennifer and Jeannette. They went to Tuscany and drank some wine, swam a little, and then had a bit of a party and played Truth or Dare. Lorenzo tried to get one on one time with each girl. He asked Lisa if he could kiss her, so of course she thought she was hot shit. And she assumes that she got the first kiss......well I got news for ya babe. Ya didn't. Then she had the nerve to complain that it wasn't romantic because of all the other girls there. What the H did she expect?? She's off her rocker a bit, but I'm sure she'll make it to the final two. Hopefully she'll be standing next to my new fave Jeannette, who got the rose of the night. YAY!! I think she's fantastic.
On to Date #3. Agnese (which is not Agnes) and Tiara Erica. I'll spare you the annoying details. Bottom line: Tiara Erica (who's a wee-bit unstable I think) got sent home. But not before she cried and plead her case to Princie. Now we're down to seven.
Rose ceremony time. Roses go to everyone except poor little Gina, who, of course, is also devastated. She really though she was the one. But don't they all??
Next week looks interesting. Tiara Erica comes back and gets all the girls to talk smack about each other. Now that will make for some good tv watchin.

I Thought That Was The Waiter

Whoa, The Bachelor: Rome does not disappoint. Last night was the first of the Dates. Two group dates, and one individual date.
The girls move into their new house, and immediately Tiara Erica is yelling at host Chris Harrison. She's not impressed with the living conditions. She has to share a room and there are no maids. She says she'll have to hire one of the other girls to clean up after her. Chris says deal with it.
The first date was interesting. Lorenzo took some of the girls to the Colliseum. It was nice. Then he got them all scooters to ride around the city on. Conveniently, Tiara Erica's lisence was expired (which I'm sure is a nce way of saying it had been revoked) so she hopped on the back of Lorenzo's bike and told him about losing her V-Card when she was 16. That's classy I tell ya. Then Lorenzo takes them to this little boutique and tells them to all pick out a dress and then they will have a little cocktail party. Erica makes a fool of herself, telling Princie about how judging she is. She knows she's screwed.
Date #2 was with Lisa. She had gotten the First Impression Rose, and with that she got a pair of diamond earrings and the first individual date. Things went really good on their picnic in the park. She got another rose. It's all going to her head. She thinks she's the girl to beat.
The third date took the remaining girls to the Mediterranean. A day of fun, sun, and of course an endless supply of booze, which Kim definately took advantage of!! Everyone did a few shots, played tackle football, had some drinks, swam in the ocean, then had some more drinks. And then Kim passed out. How embarrassing that would be. Lorenzo woke her up, and she tried to talk to everyone but jibberish was all that came out. She thought Lorenzo was the waiter asking her if she wanted another drink.
Needless to say she didn't get a rose the next night. But Tiara Erica did for god knows what reason....ratings I'm sure. The other girls to get roses last night were Desiree...crazy blonde who likes to say Baby and talk about sex....Gina, Jamie, Jeanette, Jennifer...who had gotten a rose during the first group date, Lisa....thinks she's the one to beat , Sadie ....cute, blonde, saving herself for marriage, got a rose on the second group date & Agnese.....the Italian beauty who is slowly learning to speak English.
Since Sarah Canada didn't get a rose last night, I don't know who to root for anymore. I'll wait until next week and see who else makes a frunken tomfool of themselves, and then I'll pick.

Jumpin Jack Flash

I'm VERY pleased to say that I was among the 90,000 lucky Prairie-folk who got the chance to see the Rolling Stones live. This Thanxgiving weekend, Mic & The Boys came to the Queen City of Regina, Saskatchewan to play not one, but 2 amazing outdoor concerts. Last week, 80 semi-loads of miscellaneous crap transformed Taylor Field @ Mosaic Stadium.....home of the Saskatchewan Roughriders....into an atmosphere you have to see to understand. The stage was a gigantic monstrosity of metal....my sister described it as a spaceship with tentacles.
I had won two tickets at work, and had originally planned to sell them and use the cash to buy myself a new purse....or maybe just some groceries. But when my boss gave me the tickets, he said that one of the stipulations of me winning them was that I had to actually go. So I did. And I have to tell you I wasn't all that excited about it, but I thought it would be a cool experience. Well it turned out to be the best concert I have ever seen in my 25 years. Those old guys sure know how to put on a show. I got a few pics with my phone, but nothing compared to these that were sent to me by a very lucky person who happened to get Second Row seats!!

If you ever get the chance to go see the Stones in concert, do it. I don't think they'll all be alive for much longer!!

Kiss & Don't Tell

Laguna Beach. Please tell me what the hell Tessa is thinking hooking up with Cameron!! For me it was totally random. I've barely noticed them speak to each other and out of practically nowhere she invites him to San Diego. Apparenlty she has some modelling job there so she invited some friends to go there for the weekend with her. As she's packing for her trip, good old Chase stops by for a quick visit. She again mentions something about not modelling for over a year.....since before she got sick. Now, she's mentioned this being sick before. Again when she was with Chase. I remember her saying that he was the only person she allowed to see her when she was sick. My question is what is this mysterious illness?? The flu, chicken pox, measles, cancer, the ebola virus...like what the hell?? It sure has me curious. Anywho, back to last night's episode. So Tessa & Cameron, Rocky & Alex and some other guy I think names Stephen all head down to San Diego. After the modelling thing is over, they all decide to go to Dick Last Resort for supper. This folks was the highlight of the show for me. The waiter is Taco. A fat guy with his name permanently tattooed on his buddah like belly. A waiter wearing sweatpants. One might think they wouldn't want to go to a restaurant where the servers wear sweats and are mean to you, but I think it would be a nice change. That frickin place would be awesome. So later on, Tessa and Cam hook up. The next day he and 'Stephen' are rehashing the previous night's activities and Cameron is convincing himself that he didn't do anything wrong. That he and Jessica aren't exclussive and he was free to de what he wanted. Ya Cam, you keep telling yourself that. Anything to get ya through the day.

She Has People She Hires For That

Well, well, well Ms. Hilton. You've made quite the reputation for yourself with law enforcement officers haven't you. An officer on the LAPD told TeenPeople "Paris does this stuff weekly. I don't want to answer the phone over this all day. I'm not going to be her publicity. She has people she hires for that." Karma's a bitch and that bitch is goona come back and bitch-slap her in the face one of these days!!

Shanna VS. Paris

So yesterday I read about this spat between Shanna Moakler and Paris Hilton. Apparenlty they were both at some club in LA and had a little run in. Paris was there with her Greek exes Paris and Stavros and Shanna was there with Dancing with the Stars pal Cheryl Burke. So, Paris claims that Shanna sucker-punched her in the jaw while Shanna claims that Stavros dumped a drink on her, bent her wrist back and pushed her down some stairs. Now being that Paris is quite the skankwhore, I'm goona side with Shanna. Although the wrist and stairs thing sounds a bit inflated, I would like to believe that Shanna, being the more mature one of the two, wouldn't start anything. She's got a trio of children at home and I would hope that she would want to be a better role model for them, especially since her soon-to-be-ex Travis Barker accused her of being a bad mom. Both women filed reports alleging battery with the LAPD. I guess we'll have to wait and see what happens.

Welcome Wagon

Season 3 of my fave show Veronica Mars premiered last night. I had already watched the epi on the intranets last week, but I never have a problem watching shows more than once. Of course it was all I had hoped for and more. Veronica is looking fabulous as is her smokin hot bad boy Logan. She's in college now and is blowing people's minds with her amazingness left and right....her Criminalogy prof, his TA, Wallace's cute new roomie Piz (what the hell kind of name is Piz??) and the guy who stole all of Piz's worldly possessions....when she and Saks catch him red-handed (well actually red-garaged). Keith is left stranded in the desert after he transports one of the Fitzpatrick thugs to a skuzzy motel to meet up with his lover Kendall. Turns out Mr. Thug was only interested in killing his lover......he shot and presumable killed Kendall, but had no such luck trying to off Daddy Mars. I'm sure he'll find himself a way out of this jam. He and V usually do.

Prince Charming

So Monday night was the premiere of The Bachelor: Rome. An Italian prince named Lorenzo. Apparenlty he's from one of the most famous families in Italian history. There was a pope, a Cardinal and allegedly a relative that married Napoleon's sister. Anyways, I've never heard of him or his family so they must not be that famous. Lorenzo grew up in America and barely speaks Italian so I don't quite understand how he can be an Italian Prince, but whatever.
So Lorenzo isn't bad looking, but he could definately use a haircut. He also seems to have a great personality, so I'm sure all of the girls will quickly fall for him and be devastated by him in the end.
This show has a horrible track record for couples staying together, so why women continue to sign up for it is beyond me...although I'm quite happy they do, because desperation makes for great tv.
So after a long night of endless champagne, Lornzo narrowed his choices down to 12 of the 27 drunken women he got to know throughout the night. Like last year, there is a Sarah Canada. Obviously I will cheer for her as long as she's around because love it when amazing fellow Canadians win reality shows. The girls who didn't get a rose last night were of course devastated because they had all fallen in love with him in the 3 to 15 minutes that they each got to spend with him. Some of the women did whatever they needed to do to get his attention or to stand out from the others. One woman sang opera from the balcony whilst he was chatting up two women in the courtyard below. Two women did scandelous dance moves for him. One women got him to hug a tree with her......and that seemed to work because she got the special first impression rose, complete with a pair of 2 carat diamond earrings. The things we do for love, hey??
The previews for the upcoming episodes seem typical. Women talking smack about each other, misleading clips and allegations of a crazy stalker chick. So we'll see what happens, I'm sure it will be interesting.
