Before I get to the recap, I wanted to share some “insider” information I received from a loyal reader/relative of mine. She was lucky enough to receive free tickets to the live show on Thursday, but unfortunately since they gave her one day’s notice and we live a good 1,500 miles away, it wasn’t in the cards for her to attend. That’s too bad, because I’m fairly certain I would have went along for the trip and wore pink as an ode to my friend from the last live show! Anyways, she sent me the email they sent her with the link to the ticket and the lengths CBS goes to in order to dictate the night is off the charts for a live taping of a pointless reality show. First, they put you through security screenings where your ID has to match the name and all that nonsense. And, they take your picture for security reasons, as well. This is all … Continue reading →

This episode starts off picking up from where we last left off, with Rachel, Jordan, Adam, and Kalia all competing in the donut HOH competition. Something I want to bring up is how funny it is that when they are all talking in the diary room during the competition, those are obviously filmed after the competition is over and decided. So, when Kalia says things like “I know that I have to win this in order to be safe” or when Adam says something like “I’m going to give everything I have to win this,” they are saying it already knowing they lost. This is just another reason why these people have to be actors. No way can I just get done losing a competition that may determine my fate in the game and then turn around and give an interview about how I still have a chance to win without it completely looking as if I’m already defeated. Plus, it’s a … Continue reading →

I wanted to start off by addressing the death threats that Shelly’s (I had to go against my word and mention her name because this is serious) family and workplace are receiving. Seriously, people make me sick. I’m disgusted by a lot of things that people do in this world, but come on, we’re lowering ourselves to making death threats against someone who participated in a reality TV competition? No matter how much fun I poke at her in this blog, I would have nothing but nice things to say to her if we ever crossed paths, because I know that this is just a game and we’re all going to get over it. But, to take things to the extreme where you go out and find her phone number, call it, and make a violent threat against her, her husband, and her 8 year old daughter. I can tell you this as a father, if I was away for a few … Continue reading →
