'Celebrity Aprentice' - 2/14 Episode - East Coast Update


Although I won't be blogging the entire episode, I will post the main events and the firing here. Everyone is invited to share their thoughts in comments.

Trump is splitting up the teams in kind of boy/girl fashion.

Omarosa and Piers are on the same team. Well, physically on the same team. I don't think there's a real meeting of the minds going on there.

Trace, Tito, Marilu, and Stephen on one side. Omarosa, Lennox, Carol, and Piers on the other.

The team with Piers and Omarosa won. Omarosa gets sent to the other team because Piers refuses to work with her again. After the firing, that is.

For the first time ever, Trump fired NO ONE. He just couldn't do it because the team members are so good.

'Survivor Micronesia' - East Coast Updates - 2/14

jackie's tv blog, survivor

Yes, it's a new graphic by Zoetawny!

The show has started here on the East Coast. While my full episode review is posted on TV Squad, important updates (immunity, the boot) will be posted here and you'll have a real time comments area to hang out in.

Reward (fishing gear and bamboo boat) and Immunity won by the Favorites. They choose to send Kathy to Exile Island (picking up on her being an outsider on her tribe because others volunteered her to sit out of the challenge). New twist has them choosing one of their own to accompany her -- they chose Cirie. Two people, one immunity idol.

Mary voted out, Mikey B in shock.

Happy Valentine's Day ... and Tonight's Blogging Plan

Jackie's TV Blog, holidays

Yes, Zoetawny was kind enough to make a Valentine's Day graphic for the blog. Doesn't she rock, guys?

Again I'm faced with the Thursday blogging dilemma.

At around 8 PM ET I'll put up a Survivor 16: Micronesia East Coast Updates post. I'll do live updates as it airs here with the most important things -- immunity, the boot, and such. Later on in the evening my full episode review of the show will be posted on TV Squad. However, everyone is invited to comment here on the updates post as they watch the show.

Then at 9 PM ET, I'll put up a Celebrity Apprentice updates post. Most likely I won't add much other than the fired, but folks will be welcome to discuss the show in comments.

While I'm writing up the Survivor review for TV Squad and having Celebrity Apprentice on for the update, I'll be recording tonight's Lost for later review here. It could be worse ... at least there's no Big Brother tonight!

Today's musical non-sequitur:
Yummy, Yummy, Yummy.
I got love in my tummy,
And I feel like a-lovin you:
Love, you're such a sweet thing,
Good enough to eat thing
And that's just a-what I'm gonna do.

BB9 - Live Feeds Report Into the Day, Feb. 14


GOT MILK?

Well, well, well ... it's Valentine's Day in the Big Brother 9 House. Will there be fisticuffs? Will there be love? Will there be hot jungle sex? (Oh, wait. That last one is tonight's Survivor episode!)



THERE APPARENTLY IS A FULL MOON OVER THE HOUSE ... OR IN IT


OR IS IT JUST A WANING MOON?

Here's the latest skinny from inside that Big Brother House of Are You As Immature as a Fifth Grader:
  • Sharon might be wearing out her welcome back. She talks too much!
  • Jen and Ryan apparently had sex in the bathroom stall in the wee hours. No, it wasn't shown to the feeds ... just the closed door with the occupied sign up, some heavy breathing noises, and Jen talking about sex so soon in the season. @@!!
  • Sheila was once again the first one up followed by James (who's not so crazy at all after all).
  • As they talked, she told him that she and Adam had mended fences. Adam had cried when telling her how special his work is (despite the "retard" comment). All is forgiven and they've decided to get along as a couple in the house. Ain't that precious? She said they just got off on the wrong foot. She said she has learned not to judge on first impressions.
  • James and Sheila prepared special breakfasts for their beloved soulmates.
  • James told Sheila he refuses to accept any money (but apparently will live off of or barter for shelter and food) on his bike adventure. He seems to like bars and was in a bar in Brooklyn when he heard about Big Brother.
  • Chelsia hates coffee and Sheila is shocked that anyone could hate coffee. Odd.
  • Odd about Sheila being so shocked, that is.
  • James confirmed the weekly stipend is still $750 for the time they are in the house or in sequester. It's a sweet deal for him.
  • Adam was thrilled with the breakfast from Sheila. All is lovey-dovey, hunky-dory and more between them.
  • Meanwhile, Chelsia told James it was sweet, but she doesn't eat breakfast.
  • Matt made Natalie a Valentine's Day card with nail polish used to create it.
  • They're complaining it's very cold this morning.
  • Parker is sure that he and Jen will be evicted. He told Jen he has no faith in her and BB doomed his chances.
  • The Guinea Pig Cam has been intermittent -- good. I prefer them to flames or trivia or sometimes even the houseguests!
  • Someone threw a newspaper clipping in the yard. Adam said it was mens basketball standings and we got guinea pigs.
More later!

Big Brother 9 - Odd Changes - Live Feed Flash

Well, this is just bizarre. Sharon (of the evicted Sharon and Jacob) is back and Neil is gone. Yes, you heard me. They're saying something about Neil having to leave for an emergency, so they brought her back. She's partnered with Joshuah.

There will be more on it in a feeds report over on TV Squad in a bit.

Curiouser and curiouser. Oh, wait. Alice was last year!

EXPANDING ON THIS ... as I await the TVS article to be posted...

I just find this all too strange and can't help but to think the Sharon return was all staged, don't you? Neil and Joshuah were getting along the best of all of the enforced couplings. Sharon and Jacob were evicted Saturday night, sequestered, and the world wasn't told until Wednesday night. It was Jacob's actions which ruined Sharon's chances in the house -- when one partner sinks, he drowns the other.

What do you think?

UPDATE - The TV Squad post is now up at this link.
