Until a few days ago I'd totally forgotten about this feature. D'oh! But I do remember that at the time of it's creation I was dying to talk about something I'd just watched. But it was bad timing given the WGA strike and the fact that the TV season was more or less winding down. Anyway, just thought I'd throw something out there so I wouldn't feel like I've abandoned this thing. Oh yeah, if I didn't mention it before this will probably be spoilerific. Beware! ;)
I missed the premiere of this seasons The Biggest Loser. It's the fifth season and at the end of the fourth, while they were promoting the current season, I was put off by the fact that it was going to be a Couples season. I remember the first Couples season, which might've been the second or third, and hating it. I only watched one episode I think. So I was wary about this new one. But what the fuck, there's nothing on this season and I figured, What the hell? I might as well. So I torrented the first two episodes and I'm in loooove!!! :D It's by far the greatest season of The Biggest Loser, and it's because of the fact that it's Couples. I've never seen a season so emotionally charged. It's the greatest thing ever. Seeing people break down is, for me, mostly fascinating and amusing. People break down on the show and there is that, but it's also poignant, more so than anything else. It's such an... enriching experience. I'm curious as to why The Amazing Race continues to dominate the Reality category at the Emmy's. I love that show too, but it's got nothing on a show like this. The third episode is headed this way on Tuesday at 8pm on NBC, so it's not too late to get on the bandwagon. ;) Check it out!
I haven't watched the last episode of Pushing Daisies yet. I don't mean the last of the series, as far as I know it's a success. But the WGA strike struck again. It was a short season and they weren't able to pump out a full one before the writers could get everything in place, at least that's my understanding. So I guess I don't want to watch the final episode because... well in my heart it's not the last episode of the season and since there won't be a true season finale coming along after it I know I'm gonna feel anxious about having no resolution. It's like an unnatural cliffhanger. I don't relish that feeling. But I might get around to it soon. I don't want to have it ruined for me, and I just love that show so why not? And the episode before really dropped the bomb and I'm dying to see what happens in the last episode! Dilemma, dilemma...
Along with The Biggest Loser I was also played catch up with the revamped version of American Gladiators. I was actually under the impression that it was underway some weeks back, so I thought it would be a bitch to catch up and just gave up on ever watching the show. But then I heard the buzz again recently and learned that it was just starting up so I got torrent happy again. Ah! I love this show. It's great! It's a whole lotta camp and nostalgia. I used to love this show as a kid so it was a real trip to see the same events again but in this new setting. I think they pulled it off really well. I'm sticking with this one. And man, is it fucking intense. I don't remember it being so rough and tumble as a youth. I'm just waiting for the day when someone snaps their neck or incurs a compound fracture. It's wicked! And man, that season premiere was so kick ass. So yeah, the third episode is coming up... tomorrow I believe, Mondays at 8pm on NBC. My only complaint so far is that they haven't showcased that awesome Human Hamster Ball challenge. :P I loved that thing as a kid. ;)
DS333, in tune.
