It was the return of the heavy hitting Internet favorite, Big Brother, this past week. Since 2000 the show and its live feeds have enjoyed more than a cult status in cyberland. Y’see, the show is geared to the Internet. The 24/7 live feeds show an entirely new dimension than what the folks see on the television episodes. People who just watch the show miss out, they really do.
Along with the news that the season premiere’s ratings were a bit up, there was bad news, too. Alas, pin-headed body builder Jessie from Big Brother 10 is part of the new group of hamsters. Gack! I don’t really care for folks coming back on reality shows in the first place. And, I didn’t like Jessie in his own season. Get him gone. I mean it!
That was the week it was
Not only did I have the crushing blow with Jessie’s return to Big Brother, but my personal favorite dancer to watch (in his own style) got the boot on So You Think You Can Dance. Oh, I knew he wouldn’t last. He’s probably the least in-shape of the dancers and was having trouble learning dances outside of his own specialty. Yes, he was probably the worst dancer in the bunch. Ah, but when it comes to popping, he’s pure magic.
Now, you don’t see anyone with those moves on Big Brother! Right now I think the most talented dancer on So You Think You Can Dance is Brandon. It seems like that kid can learn any dance move, any style, and shine. With Phillip, I wanted to see him pop. I want to see Brandon dance.
Caitlyn also got the boot this week on the show. I’m not as keen on the girls this season. But I thought her solo was the best of the three. I think it’s probably thanks to Phillip Chbeeb that the producers all of a sudden made the decision that both Caitlyn and Phillip will be joining the Top Ten on tour. Heh, they want to cash in on Phillip’s talents even though he wasn’t adjusting well on the show itself.
I also watched The Great American Road Trip on NBC this week. Um. Well. I probably won’t do that again.
