SNL Daniel Radcliffe

I LOVE DANIEL RADCLIFFE so everything I say will be biased by that fact... Also, random coincidence, I was watching the first Harry Potter movie the night this aired...
LMAO I love when they make fun of the election candidates, even tho I have no idea who they are lol... He's a real person, I get it... And he keeps making references to job cuts, but in really random contexts lol (wait, whats the plural of 'context'? That one sounds weird..)
DANIEL RADCLIFFE MONOLOGUE!!! He's adorable, so what can I say? I loved the line about How to Succeed in Business being the 'role people will always associate me with' and i LOVED that he mentioned Rachel Dratch being Harry Potter :P And then all the possible Potter-related sketches they could have done LMAO and he goes 'I'm guessing they just walked out behind me...' I LAUGHED but the audience didn't, LAAME...
I actually SAW the Harry Potter sketch as I was turning off the movie to go to bed haha it was funny but kinda sad :/
Oh no Ricky Gervais... His laugh is rediculous LMAO.... And they're gonna shoot him at the BET awards haha...
TARGET!!! OMG TARGET IT'S THE TARGET LADY SKETCH!!! My fave one previously was the one with Justin Timberlake where he was her almost-identical behaving friend... Let's see if this can top it!!! Jeez I love the way she talks XD it's priceless and then she sings 'Single Ladies' hahaha Ok Daniel Radcliffe with a braided mullet? And an American accent... It's not as cute as his British one haha... And then he took off his shirt O.o And creepy Bill Heder as the manager lmao i have no clue what he's doing with that smart car... LMAO SHE DRIVES A SMART CAR and wow Daniel's character is in love with her it's adorable lol 'He was an anchovy named Pizza. IRONIC!' OK THAT SKETCH WAS FUNNY AS HELL
You can do Anything!! Weird concept, I gotta say lmao. 'I juggled!' Makes my generation sound so stupid -.- HAHAHA 'I'm what you would call Twitter-famous' 'Meaning?' 'Not famous'. This is so depressing/hilarious... OMG HE'S DANCING and I never realized how short he was!
Wtf is this Spin the Bottle sketch it's so weird that's so creepy with all the weird 'homeless bozos' he has to kiss... AND OMG I JUST REALIZED the one girl is wearing an Old Navy shirt that they had in another episode too! :D I did not like that sketch tho it was one of those ones where they take something gross/creepy and take it too far -.- But Dan's voice sounded especially cute :)
Bahaha the future, a play about the past hahaha they're just poking the tablets and talking so stiffly lmao domesticated wolverines... And then they played 'Hey Ya!' but that song's old even now lol
These mayor ads are rediculous but hilarious!!! Made me think of Sue Sylvester hahaha 'I'm calling BS on myself'
OK since when does Jay Pharoah have his own show??? LMAO he has no clue what's going on and imitates Denzel Washington and Will Smith and Chris Rock and Tracey Morgan but doesnt know who Harry Potter is... LMAO
Just realized something - WHERE THE HELL IS ANDY SAMBERG????????
Lmao exit polling 'who did you vote for' I would not tell anyone that stuff.... And then she asks if he's a dude or a girl hahahahahaha LMAO cos she's trying to get him to go out with her friend... Haha so random questions I love this sketch and he's so adorable and then she hits on him hahaha 'I'm switching you to gay! Robot!'
YAAY SAMBERG!!! (briefly, anyway) haha that one about people not knowing what's going on around them, so 'there's an app for that' was silly :P
Weekend Update time!!! Ok yea that IS great for his drug business... YES TWO BEST FRIENDS FROM GROWING UP!!! They can't use it for Moamar Ghadafi anymore, so it's good to use it for Kim Jong Un lol I love their costume department lol they have SO MANY CLOTHES.. and haha 'it's how you feel about Lorne Micheals' LMAO Now wtf Daniel Radcliffe as a dog?! And supposedly belongs to Casey Anthony? Wow 2 Sarah McLaughlan jokes in one episode! and LMAO 'I'm kidding, Seth. Dogs can be sarcastic too, it's not just for cats'
I LOVE YOU SETH MEYERS AND DANIEL RADCLIFFE!!!!

Glee 'Yes/No'

Ok so Becky is British in her mind, which made me laugh because that voice sounds so snotty and refined...
And awe she likes Artie which, i never realised until just now, he's pretty adorable!
OMG EMMA WANTS WILL TO MARRY HER!!! I totally saw those hats (sorry, 'fascinators') in the background, it made me LOL... But they usually don't do random bursting-into-songs-and-walking-along-and-everyone-joins-in numbers, so that was weird lol
Ok i love Sam so I think Mercedes should get back together with him... But him joining the synchro team was worth it for Nene Leakes to make an appearance, I hurt my stomach laughing :P She's crazy in real life, so that role couldn't have been too hard...
MOVES LIKE JAGGER!!! Definitely one of my favourite songs ever... And the mashup was amazing! I forgot how well Matthew Morrison could dance! And I never realized how muscular he was lol
FINN SHOULD TOTALLY BE THE BEST MAN THATS AMAZING!!! But noooo he can't join the army, he's too cute to kill people :(
Becky liking Artie is so sweet, but he was being a bit of a hypocrite because he knows better than anyone what it's like to be shut down because of a disability...
I seriously did NOT like the song the girls did, it was way too sappy for the purposes of Schue proposing, he wanted it to be upbeat and different, and that seemed too typical. BUT I am so glad that they showed Mercedes thinking about Sam during the song, she needs go out with him again!! :3
Schue's scene with Emma's parents was hilarious, altho they are seriously some of the most rotten people EVER, but I laughed my ass off at the 'No, that's not decaf' line :P
Poor Finn finding out about his dad :'(
Lol I had been wondering where Kurt was all episode and he suddenly showed up at the restaurant...
And I LOVE 'Without You' but again, stupid Rachel's stupid voice! They needed David Guetta to pop up in the background with his turntable, that would have made it better haha the techno-yness is the best part of the song!
OMG PEOPLE IN THE HALLWAY!!!! WITH ROSES!!! (even Sue, wow that surprised me) AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH I KNOW WHATS GONNA HAPPEN!!!!!
Ok is Artie swimming really a good idea? Ah nevermind he's floating :P
That song is epic I loved that!!! But how did they all suddenly know how to do synchronized swimming moves? And Schue walking on water seemed a little conceited lol... But I noticed once he dove in and came up again, his hair was wet but his clothes weren't O.o His proposal was BEAUTIFUL i teared up a little
I expected her to say 'no' for a breif second, because she paused for so long lol but YAAY!!
And then Finn proposes to Rachel? And wow she kept her mouth shut for a long time that was shocking!
DAMN YOU CLIFFHANGERS!!!!

Chuck 'versus Bo'

Who the heck is Bo?
And omg that's right I forgot Jeffrey discovered their Castle lol
So they arranged Jeff and Lester in a dirty convertible in the middle of the desert, in Hawiian shirts with a bunch of poker chips? LOL that's insane but it just may work...
Sarah wants to quit spying? Nice, I can see how this series finale is going to go down -.-  LOL 'international bad-guyery' and Casey DOES get shot a lot! I never noticed it, he's the only one who ever seems to take a bullet... But he's right, that is a pretty good track record, considering how often he gets shot at lol
Apparently douchey-Intersect Morgan lost his iPhone but got it back, thanks to his labelmaker haha and there was a video call on it where he described having a guy give him a pair of Intersect glasses, which he then hid in a vault somewhere, and they need to go track them down!! But comeon Sarah, you NEVER say 'one last mission'!!!
And oh great they're trying to hypnotize Morgan lol I can't see that going well...
Lol Lester and Jeff finally wake up but they realize they didn't drink anything... And aw crap they're going to go try find Castle again... but only if they can hitch a ride lmao it's a 'light traffic day'
Morgan!! stop hitting on Ellie, she's married geez... And yes you're an idiot when hypnotized... But that gives Alex no excuse to sleep with creepy blender-man!! Even if they were 'on a break' lol. And I will never think of rainbows the same way again, gross!!
HAHAHA 'Alex, always nice to see you. Dale, store credit only.' CHUCK I LOVE YOU!!!!
OHMYFREAKINGGOD THEY'RE PLAYING FOSTER THE PEOPLE!!!!!!! OMGOMGOMGOMG THATS SO WONDERFUL!!! Especially since it's my fave of their songs :D
And ahhh mystery solved it's Bo Derek haha.. What exactly is she famous for again? Maybe I'm too young to know lol
Jeff and Lester are following them HAHA they have the fake-dreadlocks hat from earlier.. Wow and Morgan got everyone singing 'Wake me up before you go-go' without being ironic - dude that is difficult!
But uh-oh he has a tattoo in his LIP (ew!) saying 'don't trust Bo Derek' damn of course she's in on it!! So she shows up with a gun... Haha Sarah punched her XD
And Casey found Jeff and Lester and put them back in the same car and they had the exact same conversation LMAO but they wrote 'vault Bo Derek' on Jeff's arm so uh-oh...
Shit Bo's a spy and they were looking for Morgan when he showed up and broadcast the fact that he was the Intersect... Wow he was being an ass.. And those frosted tips make him look like a porcupine XD
And Alex doesn't believe him about Bo Derek but of course all roads lead to a Buy More hahaha that place is epic... And creepy because it's like a parallell universe LMAO it's a different vault! And I love it 'J'ACCUSE!!!' 'We will remember because it's written right here on my arm!' (They are spies) Aaand lotsa gunfire which I can't really understand because my computer is lagging so I can't see anything... Haha so Lester wants to forget now... Where does Casey keep getting that gas from??
BAHAHA more Subway product placement it's so obvious but funny... VEGAS, BABY! That's where those 'creepy cousins' belong, for sure :)
DAMN THE BADGUY'S BACK!!! I HATE YOU, CLIFFHANGERS!!!
Oops, not a cliffhanger yet, still 3 minutes left :P
Wtf is going on? 'The situation's changed, he'll be needed' so she shoots them all? Jeez this is confusing... wtf is with all these people? And didn't they have any backup? OMG SHE'S GOING TO USE THE INTERSECT!!!!! NOOOO!!!!!!!!
I'm so confused and it's still a cliffhanger -.- Greeeeaat!
I give it 7 Vegas hats out of 10, because of the cliffhanger and the bad guy getting away and the rainbows.. But it was a pretty funny one!

Big Bang Theory 'The Shiny Trinket Maneuver'

Haha Walowitz opens doing magic tricks and Raj is so into it hahaha he's like a little child and OMG HARRY POTTER REFERENCE!!!
Sheldon is skeptical, shocking... And lol 'lovable rogue' Nathan Fillion would have probably made a better Green Lantern, but unfortunately we'll never know! (No offense to fans, I do love Ryan Reynolds, but as a comedic actor!)
Except there's a slight plot hole there, because Sheldon goes on and on about how magic tricks are not worth anything, they're full of deciet, blah blah, and yet in another episode I think it was season 4, Walowitz does a card trick and it drives Sheldon nuts because he wants to know how it's done... But I digress
Hahahahahahaha 'Shamy' is out on a date and it's like a meeting they're hilarious
'nice hat bob tahecin' ? lol wtf? And Amy has good news and Sheldon has hit 100 Twitter followers LMAO dang that's more than me... But he's ignoring her, but he doesnt realize it... But he loves koala bears!! And thinks Biology is all about 'yucky squishy things' LMAO his koala face is adorable he looks like a little baby I love him!
Bernadette doesn't feel comfortable around kids? That's weird because she's so sweet and happy... Aaaand Howard has a dead dove in his closet O.o
Sheldon 'going for a walk' in a video game put me in stitches and then he goes drinking in the game LOL!! And Leonard goes 'you know, digital alcohol is never the answer'.... BAHAHA
Wow those kids are a tough crowd... Mind you, it is just Howard in a sparkly vest, and Bernadette getting in arguments with children... Where did he even find purple skinny jeans?? And that one kids a pain, knowing everything... I hate kids like that! Haha milk in the pants! But Bernadette doesn't really like kids so she doesn't want them, and Howard is sad about that :(
Sheldon goes shopping with Penny to buy a gift to make Amy forgive him... And he wants a pocketwatch XD love it!! *snort* trust me, they are not a couple!
LMAO 'Even Donkey Kong had Donkey Kong Jr., so he could tech him how to kidnap princesses and throw barrels at Italian plumbers' Love it!!!!
Aaaand Sheldon has a pocketwatch!!! I have a friend who has one of those... But he will never read this so he will never know how adorable it is teehee and I'm mocking him :P
Aaaaand Amy has a tiara! That was hilarious she went on and on and on yelling and 'I'M A PRINCESS AND THIS IS MY TIARA!!' But she did know it was his koala face LOL
LMAO Howard is gonna be a stay-at-home-dad... Well, he doesn't have a PhD anyway, so he's pretty useless... LOL
I give this episode 10 tiaras out of 10 because it was HILARIOUS! Although, somewhat short :/

Bones 'The Crack in the Code'

Yes, I'm behind this week. So sue me.
No freaking way this is only episode six! *IMBDs it* Jeez, they must have packed a lot of stuff into this one season! Either that, or I have been watching too much Bones on DVD and it's all just kind of blurred together in my mind :/ Hmmm...
That was a pretty intense opening, as crime shows go... Lady preparing new tour guides at a museum, says 'tourists WILL ask stupid questions, and you WILL know how to answer them' haha made me think of my own customers... Then the group of guides all look grossed out and she turns around and there's a statue of Abraham Lincoln with a body at the base of it... Well, ok a partial body, it's just the skull and spine. Gross. And then there's blood spelling out 'where's the rest of me?' on the statue! Creepyyy....
Bones is so pregnant lol she's due in like six weeks! I can't wait!
Then she notices that the spine is out of order which actually made me kind of excited because this looks like a serial killer-type thing! Even before Cam finds out that the blood used to write the message came from five different people! :O This is shaping up to be a very interesting episode! And with Wendell, too! He's so cute :)
Booth and Sweets interview a guy who works extermination at the museum, and they figure out that he knew how to block out the camera from seeing the body being placed, but they think he's not smart enough to taunt the police in the way the killer did, so they let him go.
Wendell and Hodgens are trying to figure out the reason for the order in which the vertebrae were placed, which is honestly a puzzle to me too.. Apparently the processes of some of them were removed, which is probably significant, but I can't figure out how! They keep talking about their grandfathers, apparently Hodgen's was a code-breaker in WW2 that's so cool!
Angela can't find the woman who the skull and spine belonged to through Missing Persons, but Cam did get a match on the DNA from the blood, which is NOT GOOD because it's all from various FBI agents from the DC field office! Jaw-dropping!
Caroline is so awesome, arguing with an annoying reporter-guy!
Haha Sweets giving Bones real-estate advice, she goes 'if positive adjectives are indicative of negative attributes, what does 'tear-down' mean?' lmao! And I have noticed something, why does that cafe seem to have changed so much over the seasons? And what happened to the Chinese food place? I have been watching too much Season 1 lol. But then Booth comes in and informs them that all the FBI agents are still alive, the blood was stolen from an FBI blood drive. So maybe not a serial killer... Yet.
Poor Hodgens has no idea what to do about the code, I hate when stuff like that happens -.- (although my puzzles have never had anything to do with dead bodies lol)
Booth and Sweets locate this freaky hacker-dude and interview him and he's kind of cute but basically an insane conspiracy theorist who has not left his house in 6 months after being placed on parole for hacking the Department of Defence website. Smooth move, buddy... He also had an old computer in his apartment, which Booth says is violation of his parole, but the hacker-man says it 'reminded him of better times'.
Hodgens and Angela solved it!!! Crazy stuff, there's a zip code, a Justice Department phone number prefix, and an address and 4 extra numbers and Angela finds the building, apparently it's the Justice Department archive building and they need to find room 353 and the last 4 digits HAPPEN to be the code that opens the door! Ohmygawd this is getting so exciting!! So Booth and Sweets go in, and it's full of high-density shelves and Booth finds some blood... And then he finds 'the rest'!!
The body was found on top of a stack of 'suspended' criminal case files which belonged to a bunch of FBI informants that were guilty of felonies which were not prosecuted, due to the importance of the information they provided to the FBI in exchange for their freedom. I smell a COVERUP!!
Wendell and Brennan find unusual markings on the bones, Hodgens finds explosives, and it's experiment time! LMAO nothing happens and then right before Wendell is about to go check it, it goes BOOM... and that's so gross but hilarious!
This part is sad, one of the informants ran a real estate scam which swindled an old man out of his life's savings, so he killed himself in front of his adult daughter. The daughter happens to run an IT firm, so Booth and Sweets (is that guy Booth's new partner or something? Not that I mind him having more screen time..) so to talk to her, but first they see the annoying reporter guy on the news, and he keeps citing 'anonymous sources'. The daughter tells them that she also spoke to the same reporter... Which is suspicious! Dun DUNNN
Angela identified the dead girl, she was a European girl in D.C. on a visa, and was house-sitting for a couple months. Booth visits the house and they find blood and bits of gross parts in the pool... And blood painted on the fence which says 'this won't stop' O.o I'm DEFINITELY thinking serial killer now!!
Holy crap Angela was showing Wendell something on her computer, that the European was killed by a contact gunshot with no bullet. Suddenly there's a fire! AAAGH WHAT'S HAPPENING?
They realized that a 'bang stick' killed her because it's an air gun (Hodgens blows up a watermelon to prove this) used by divers on sharks. Angela tells everyone that malware was uploaded onto the computer, which caused the fire because it delayed the fans that cool the CPU from turning on until it was too late and the computer had already overheated. Nobody knows where the malware could have come from, because the only thing Angela had uploaded was the scans of the bones. Then Brennan looks them over carefully and realizes that one of the cut edges is rough, and has been engraved with a virus code. Thats some crazy stuff. The decide it must be the hacker.
Next up, we see a dead guy hanging from a post, and his face has been... I don't know exactly, but let's just say it no longer looks like a face. He is identified as Ezra Crane, the creepy reporter man, and was definitely killed by a bang gun, too! Then his body fails to show up at the lab, and Cam is pacing and worried and mad. Luckily, she took a swab of the skull wound at the scene, and Hodgens analyzed the trace, which was from heat-resistant ceramics, such as those used in vacuum tubes in OLD COMPUTERS!!! Anyone seeing a connection here? Angela did, and when it's pointed out that the hacker could not have left his house, Cam points out that if he could kill people with a curtain rod and blank bullets, create a cipher out of a spine and write malware on a bone, he would have no problem with an electronic ankle monitor. My thoughts exactly.
Caroline informs the group that the body was ordered transferred to the medical examiner's office, then from there a bunch of paperwork was created that sent the body a bunch of places, ending up at a hospital, which was incorrectly told that the autopsy was finished and there was infected tissue, which meant that the body was immediately cremated. Cam admits that the killer may be smarter than them, BUT HE'S NOT!!! I know the squints will catch him :)
Haha Bones says nobody is smarter than her and Booth attempts to argue, but realises it's a losing battle
Sweets and the hacker have a brief battle of wits, during which the guy basically admits to creating the computer worm and tells Booth to 'give my regards to Jack Hodgens,' because he knew he would enjoy the code of the spine. This guy is a totally cocky asshole! There's a montage where he is shown building... SOMETHING and he has articles about Booth and Brennan and the whole team posted on his wall!!
Booth and Brennan go to see their new house (which is a totally empty shell, basically, but, to his surprise, she loves it!) it's so cute I love them together :) But then... that's the end.
DAMN YOU CLIFFHANGERS!!

NCIS: LA 'Exit Strategy'

Yes, I realize this is nearly a week late. I saw part of it when it was actually on but was nowhere near my computer at the time, and have not had time since to watch online... I have lots to catch up on.

Alright, so we begin this episode with... continuing a story we began like a month ago! With Khaled's sister Jada being protected by secret agents but then are attacked... I dont understand why shows do this where they begin a plotline, leave it at a kind of cliffhanger, have a bunch of filler episodes where they don't even MENTION it, then go back to the plot! It hurts my brain...
I have to admit, when I first saw them getting in that car, I expected it to blow up O.o But it just got run into and whatnot... Explosives would have been more effective haha
And what's this? No credits? Weird
And Miguel Ferrer's character Granger has disappeared - which confuses me because I know him from Crossing Jordan as a nice boss guy, and now he's a beaurocratic asshole! The sister knows nothing, of course, but her brother's 'friends' may have been in on it, shocking...
Oh no the British guy Elmsley has vanished! With his family uh-oh... And their cell phones are ditched in the garbage, which is of course suspicious.
'You'd think that a car with front-end damage and bullet holes in the windshield would stand out!' 'This is L.A...' LMAO I love Eric and Nell and he jinxed her and she punched him and actually hurt him XD I love them!! And they definitely like each other... There was a bit of a subplot in another episode where they each sent themselves flowers to make each other jealous, but it never came up again...
Awwe Deeks likes roller rinks.. And then he accidentally insulted Kensi and she punched him haha the girls are kicking some serious butt this week!
Blah blah, some chasing, Kensi was calf-roping champion lol.. Sam threatens to waterboard the guy which I knew was a lie because he used that same trick last week... I think Eric is wearing an Old Navy sweater!
Haha Elmsley got the bad guys to turn around by pointing at the Hollywood sign, clever! But now he is in an abandoned building, and his family is kidnapped that sucks.. And he's holding a grenade... Oh come on, who does that? LMAO Deeks! But they all drop to the floor and it turns out it's only a smoke grenade, which is good for them because my dad said he saw a Mythbusters episode where they said that trick doesnt really work... And Elmsley escapes down a giant tube.
Kensi and Deeks have to go undercover this is epic I love when they do that... And Hetty knew about the waterboarding lol of course she does.
That undercover scene is hilarious I love when Deeks puts on an fake character he's so outrageous!
And now they have decided to have a video-conference with Khaled... I don't know why, but it seems like a bad idea to let him see the inside of the Ops room lol. He said he wouldn't let anyone hurt his sister... But he wants to kill her himself. Lovely.
I don't understand the involvement of the French government in all this, it keeps being brought up ... And then Elmsley tries to kidnap Jada again with another smoke grenade and he opens the car door to Kensi pointing a gun in his face, and they take him and Jada in for questioning... Oh now I get it, the French guys worked for the government but were making deals with Khaled. Got it.
I feel bad for Jada at this point... Sam led her on! Poor woman is now all alone even though she's trying to to the right thing, she's living on the run and doesn't even have the man she thought loved her! That's just sad :(
And they get the family back, it's all good, the bad guy escaped temporarily but they got him later..
Awwwe Nell brought Eric soda and she had been Facebook-stalking him so she knew his favourite that's so cute! And then Hetty steals it LMAO she's a genius.
Ooh suspense at the end when Hetty tells Sam that Khaled has been found, through his IP address (that's my Eric!) you know he's gonna be TAKEN DOWN!
I give this week 6 smoke grenades out of 10... It was sufficietly kickass and I like that it (partly) wrapped up that one plot from before... But there weren't any epic explosions or gunfights, and there were no memorable lines. I did, however, love all the jinxing and cute flirty stuff between Nell and Eric :)
I shall be back next week! (or, youknow, tomorrow...)

The Bachelor Week 2

I saw about 80% of this episode when it actually aired, but I went back to the first episode first and now I'm rewatching this one...
Ok to start off, Ben's childhood pictures were utterly adorable!!! They actually looked like someone I was friends with when I was little... And you could definitely tell it was him!

They're in Ben's hometown and he decided to take Kacie B for the first date and everyone is so catty about it good grief! They get mad about everything! It's so funny that he always has to call her 'KacieBEE' because there's another Casey (S). That town, Sonoma (not sure of spelling), is so beautiful I kind of want to visit there now! And I like the way Ben was around Kacie with the piano and the candy store and the baton twirling he really seemed like he was having fun with her and she was so giggly and cute (and I love her accent)! He was so sweet and kinda sad but in a cute way when he talked about his dad... Geez I love him! And he gave her the rose (of course because their chemistry was so wonderful!)! And then they went and watched her baby videos!! First of all, where did he get those? And second of all, that's such a weird idea but they were adorable! And then they watched Ben's baby videos!! I wanted to go watch my own baby videos after that haha... But it made Kacie (and me, a little bit) tear up because she could see her dad in those videos and see him at some point in the future and talk about them, but he saw his dad and would never get to talk to him again and he cried a little bit and awwe I wanted to go hug him :'(
Meanwhile, back at the House Of Drama, they get a 12-person date card and all the girls on the card got excited... Except Blakely -.- she got all angsty because she didn't want 'to go on a date with 11 girls, I wanted to go with Ben'. GET OVER YOURSELF, WOMAN!! And one other thing that bugged me was that her job description says 'V.I.P. cocktail waitress' which I think makes her sound terribly conceited... Like, 'I don't serve cocktails to Ordinary People or even Slightly Important People, but Very Important People' Geez.
I loved that the group date was a play written by children hahaha they were adorable and the ladies seemed kind of frightened lol... I thought it was a good idea, since Ben is such a family guy and he totally got along with the kids.
The first 4 girls (Jennifer, Shawn, Jaclyn and someone blonde) were hilarious and did exactly what the kids wanted but some of them were really awkward and then they asked Blakely to jog in slow-motion in what was essentially a romper... And that was uncomfortable but it was hilarious because one of the kids said they were 'not a fan of her'
Courtney was being a bitch at the house! What the hell I missed this part when I say the episode the first time... She was going on and on about how she clearly had a connection with him and the other girls didn't, in her not-so-humble opinion... They were getting irritated! As was I! But at least they handled it well.
Back to the play, Ben shows up with some pretty epic costumes and I loved that Blakely, who was the least-covered to begin with, was a gingerbread man with only her face showing! Well chosen, children!!
I loved when Monica said that the play was awesome because the kids wrote the play and theyre 'much cooler than us' lmao! She played a dragon, which was also well-cast by those kids! For some reason Ben was turned into a sheep and baaahed repeatedly LMAO! And Jennifer messed up her one line but improvved it really well and Ben thought it was hilarious... And then, for some reason he was shirtless? Whatever, no complaints here! Although there were a bunch of kids and old people in the audience, which made it kind of awkward... But Jaclyn made me laugh so hard when she said 'thats the first time I've ever been attracted to a sheep...' She was the princess and ironically was wearing a blonde wig even though she's already blonde lol
Goddamn Blakely I saw this part when I first watched and I can't stand her! Ben said she seemed super-grouded and that everyone liked her? Ben my dear what are you smoking?? Also I hate her earrings, theyre longer than her shoulders and can't be comfortable, they look like baby mobiles!
Jaclyn and Jennifer found poor Samantha in the washroom hiding because she couldnt stand Blakely... And of course, there is no way to get a decent camera angle into the washroom stall (it was a public washroom because they were at some sort of country club/spa place) so we ended up watching Jennifer's back through a crack in the door, interchanged with cutaways of them talking and shots of their feet for about a minute and a half. Artsy.
Courtney was being bitchy some more... She goes 'How's that feel coming out of your mouth?' after Kacie read the date card, which said 'let's spin the bottle' and Erika was getting really irritated by it... I think Courtney looks kind of familiar, she might have been in Teen Vogue or Seventeen at some point? Or maybe she was in some ad campaign. That was probably it. I mean, she's pretty and everything but she's very cocky and downright rude to the other girls! And her eyes never have any emotion to them, I just noticed that, they always look like they're just staring at absolutely nothing! Also she quoted Charlie Sheen. Who does that?!
So everyone in the pool was splashing around and having fun... Except Blakely, who of course was refusing to get her hair wet! And continued going on and on about how she was definitely going to get the rose... Which just infuriated me because I knew she did get it... And she talked about how she was 'passionate and a great lover', 'because she was a Scorpio' I wanted to vomit! She's so slutty, frick of course he's gonna fall for that, he's chock-full of testosterone! I loved Jaclyn even more after that where she said 'of course its gonna work, it's a quick and easy - pun intended - way to make people like you!' LMAO I hope she stays around she's hilarious! And she observes the drama but doesn't get directly involved, I applaud that! Jennifer with Ben in the pool was so cute I think she deserved the rose, not Blakely! It's supposed to go to someone who he feels he could fall in love with, not whoever he wants to sleep with the most!! Bad choice, buddy -.- Also, Blakely, no shit the hot tub is hot... They don't call it a 'cold tub'!
He then went to pick up Courtney, and he went on about how gorgeous she was, because she was a model... And after seeing her claws come out previously, I don't want him to like her! He's starting to seem a bit shallow, which I don't like! Let's hope he turns that around soon! One thing I did notice - as romantic and picturesque as their date seemed, she was kind of awkward and rather quiet (at least she didnt insult anyone) but he seemed way different! Not at all as comfortable as he had been with Kacie! Interesting! And she got the rose, of course, but he didn't quite seem his normal, energetic self. (But when he was howling that was hilarious and I loved seeing him with his dog (: )
We return to the house, and Blakely is bragging and acting like nobody else was on the group date, and Jennifer and everyone else is looking sad! The other 4 who were left at home (I think Elyse, Lindzi, Erika and Casey S?) looked even MORE bummed out, but considering I know that none of them go home, I think he chose not to take them because he already like them enough, and wanted to get to know the other dozen a bit better. I mean, he gave Lindzi the first rose, and he took both Courtney and Kacie B on one-on-one dates, so if they're all in the same category, it's safe to say it's a good one!
When Ben took Lindzi outside and she was afraid he wouldn't remember her name lol that was so cute! But come on Lindzi, don't tell a man you drive a bigger truck than he does! I found it funny and so did he apparently lol
Samantha was being so cute and I felt bad for her because she was trying to just explain to Ben who she was, and that she was trying to stay away from all the drama, and then Blakely walks in, just for the purpose of talking to him again! She already knows she's safe, why the hell would she do that, other than for the sake of monopolizing his attention?! Even Monica has backed off of everyone else because she can tell that they all hate Blakely! I know Blakely will be around for a long time because, let's face it, the show is at least partly rigged and she creates drama and drama boosts ratings, but I wonder what is going to happen when she's gone, because right now everyone else is united against her, but if their common enemy leaves, what will happen then?
She went and cornered him again after he was with Erika and everyone was questioning whether she had any morals... Which confused me because you couldnt even hear what she was saying, all I could hear was Ben saying 'yea' and 'ok' a few times, and he laughed and went off in another direction... She was holding onto him though and kind of posing... Maybe they thought she was trying to seduce him? Hmmm... And Courtney says, completely monotone 'It's like a war out there', not like she was trying to start one earlier!
Ok and next came the conversation which was clearly the reason Jenna got sent home... She went on about how she's 'not good at being a girl'... How is he supposed to react to that?? The other girls thought she started to cry because of Blakely, but it was because of herself! Jaclyn kind of pulled a Blakely at this point and interrupted their conversation, but honestly I think she prevented a train wreck... And I really love Jaclyn's dress, that green sparkly one? It was really pretty!
Blakely figured out the other girls were talking about her... No surprise there after how she was behaving, acting like she was the only important one, of course everyone else will be talking about her too!
They also all made a point about how Blakely is not the type of person you would take home to your parents and that's a valid point, any other one of the girls there is more down-to-earth and real (with the possible exception of Courtney) and likeable in terms of having a conversation and the distant potential of marriage. Blakely's really not - and in that sense I do feel pity for her because it would have to hurt if she's the type that guys would want to use for one night and then discard, but at the same time, she was emphasizing that aspect of herself by making out with him in the pool and wearing revealing clothing.
Jamie made me laugh again when she was telling Ben about all the drama and going 'I don't want to like steal you, and there's just so much going on, I don't really know, it's just really awkward...' at least she clued him in because up to that point he had no idea!
Ben then went to talk to Brittney about the drama... Which to me seemed like a very random choice because she was not involved in any of it haha but maybe that's why he chose her, because she was more of an observer she knew what was going on with everything!
He found Blakely crying and said that he knew why she didn't get along with the other girls... Why is that exactly? Enlighten us!!
Then he found Jenna crying and didn't seem to understand why she was crying... To be honest I didn't either, she was partly disappointed in herself, I think. Monica seemed thrilled when Jenna left. No love lost between those two, for sure!
Blah blah, not much else, rose ceremony, blah, Shawn and Jenna are eliminated, the end.
I honestly am judging myself a little bit for looking forward to next week's episode -.-

The Bachelor Week 1

I have never been a huge fan of the Bachelor/Bachelorette series. I've always found them unrealistic and mildly stupid (maybe I will later write a posting about why). However, I had a special request from a dear friend (haha you know who you are) to follow this season... And I did catch a few bits and peices of last year's Bachelorette and Ben was one of my favourites - when he was turned down and got all mad it broke my heart! He's such a sweetie and kind of like a big puppy dog. He's incredibly cute too of course - I always thought he kind of looked like Josh Groban.

First impressions - Courtney seemed really sweet in the second episode but in the first episode she seems really conceited and fake... Weird watching this out of order haha
Shawn seemed so sweet and funny her kid was adorable and then she slugged Ben on the arm haha that was hilarious
Lyndsie J (the Brit) was a little freaky with all her outfits and languages and 'guns'... and her 'butt chin dimple' lol she's a dork which was cute with her poem but she talked really fast!
Jenna (the blogger) sounded a little crazy when she said she was 'coming for Ben'... Is she gonna kill him? And she sounded really insecure when she was going on about 'why can't I find love?'... And then she was being creepy with the awkward silences once she met him AGH I'm glad she left week 2 she makes me uncomfortable!!!
Amber B (the Bacon) was cute and it was so sad how she had to raise her own siblings... And she's Canadian! Ben loves Canada teehee
One of the country girls (Can't remember her name.. She was blonde) kept shooting things in her intro... kinda scary lol
Erika (the law student) told him right off the bat that he was 'guilty of being sexy' like wtf? Who says that?
Elyse was a little creepy by telling him she was 'gonna make him sweat'...
We have an Emily! Studying diseases... lmao she gave him sanitizer XD
Samantha wanted to prove she was 'more than a pageant girl'... So why wear the sash??
Casey S was pretty but didn't say much lol
Amber T returned around the fountain just in case he didnt believe in love at first sight so he could see her again... but at least he laughed!
Holly from Kentucky with a giant hat I found that funny and so did he!
Shira knows everything about wine... KIDDING but she likes to drink it and already seemed a little tipsy!
Blakely already seemed a tad creepy when she insisted she was the ONLY Southerner there... Ben was like 'yea OK haha please dont hurt me!' And I know there's more to come of her!!
Sheryl the old lady on the crutches wasn't even a contestant but she just showed up to introduce her granddaughter Brittney who was a sweetie and Ben loved it! But the other girls were being bitchy about the grandma, I mean seriously? She seemed like a nice lady... Although if she was in love with him and he end up with Brittney, there may be some jealousy issues!!!
Nicki didn't really make much of an impression... she told him he was 'precious' though lol
Dianna forgot what she was gonna say I felt bad for her :( but he was so nice about it
I liked Jennifer (the redhead) she's so pretty and she was cute with her numbers haha (and I loved her dress!!)
Anna walked right past him without saying anything which he thought was a 'bold move' but I thought was weird lol
I liked Jaclyn she was nice and said 'hug it out' which idk why made me laugh
Lyndzi C with the horse was charming but seemed a little conceited :/ And the other girls were PISSED about that horse!
The others didn't really catch my attention apparently lol I think I missed 4?

Ben was so cute when he came in and very sympathetic to the way they were feeling - I mean he's been there himself, so he must know it is! He's awesome I felt so bad for him when Ashley turned him down and he was kind of rude to her when he was leaving, but you can't really blame him.
Rachel is one of the girls I missed before! Who the hell leaves their job for the Bachelor? American Idol or something, I could see MAYBE because there is the possibility to make millions off that, but even then, jeez.
I missed Nicki too, before. She is very bubbly which is endearing and her accent is cute but her eyes and smile are always VERY wide open, like she has had too much coffee. And she was the one who was married very young so we'll see what happens there...

Awe more of Brittney and her grandma... It was so cute that Ben walked the grandma to her car :) Except it was kind of odd that initially she didn't give Brittney much of a chance to talk... And the others attacking her, seriously? Get over it! He's such a family guy so she played that perfectly! They're just mad that they didnt think of it first!
I love that Ben gets so happy to see Chris the host-man LOL he started clapping XD The room got dead silent when the rose got laid on the table they all got those bitchy faces on... There's gonna be some trouble up in here!!
The blindfolding/feeding courtesy of Dianna was so weird ... But WEIRDER was Emily rapping... and comparing love to a disease! Oh dear God! I guess he has a good sense of humour because she's still there!

I also missed Monica before, and now what the hell's going on with her?? Jenna had a point when she said that if she didn't feel attracted to him she would have 'excused myself and left' so is that what Monica is saying? Does she really only want to be there to party? How did I not catch this vibe on the second episode? Also if that's all she's doing, why has Ben not seen right through it?? Jenna turned that into a drama queen moment though... I mean, if she clearly doesnt like you, why keep getting in her face? And why run into the other room and go 'omg she hates me'?? And then Monica and Blakely sitting on the couch getting all cozy - and Monica saying how much she LOVES Blakely and even if she didn't win, that she was there for an 'experience' and Blakely is 'her experience' on the show... We're getting into some weird territory here lol is she drunk? And seriously, CALM DOWN JENNA!
Lmao when the one girl (I think it was Jamie? I missed her at the beginning too lol) said to Ben 'I think there's drama. I don't know. I'm trying so hard not to know!' Finally, that's one girl with her head screwed on straight!

Jenna going on and on about how she 'would not cry' was getting on my nerves... Made me PRAY that I would not act like that because I tend to ramble in situations like that... But it made me like Rachel more that she was trying to mediate without knowing what it was about at all! LOL! Jenna said her disgusting tampon line which Monica blew up over, of course, so she leaves and Jenna cries some more... And then poor Ben came over because Jenna was crying and she asked if he was calm because nobody would dismiss him and I think he got confused she was talking in circles about anxiety and calmness and the other girl there who had been comforting her was like 'Wtf?' Who was that girl? ... Might have been Kacie but I thought she had an accent and that girl didn't... Gah too many females!!! And Jenna's crying again she cried the second episode too but at least she's gone now!
Awwe Ben gave Lindzi C the first rose for first impressions I saw that coming lol but I think I recognized the pillows on that bench... Maybe someone I know has them... LOL you can tell I have the right priorities, here they're having a 'meaningful conversation' and I'm sitting here wishing he would move so I could see more of the pillows hahaha
Jenna was late to the rose ceremony which was super-awkward and of course, Monica had a field day over it... But how the hell is she supposed to know it was happening NOW if she was hiding in the bathroom? That one's not entirely her fault.
The rose ceremony was very awkward... And Monica and Jenna were the last two he gave roses to which was definitely on purpose, at least the way they edited it! I think he should have to at least give the viewers a reason he doesn't choose certain people. Amber the Canadian was very mature as she left I was proud of her when she told him 'You have some great girls over there I wish you all the best'. Lyndsie the Brit was actually really sweet when she left and I felt kind of bad for her, but at least she realised that it wasn't going to be real love if she had to force it. The other Amber cried. I don't know why... I dunno I guess immediate rejection is harsh but it wasn't after much time so I felt bad for her but it seemed a bit of an overreaction :/ That's part of the reason I hate this show. . . That's the end of week 1! Stay tuned!

SNL January 7th (Charles Barkley/Kelly Clarkson)

Ok first of all I know nothing about Charles Barkley... Other than that he's a basketball player, has a gambling problem, and Keenan Thompson always impersonated him. Let's see how this goes...
Last week's Jimmy Fallon and Michael Buble episode will be hard to top!!
I can only watch Saturday Night Live on Global.ca so not all of the sketches are posted there (thanks for being an IP Nazi, NBC.com!!!!)  Also while watching this I kept seeing an advertisement with Rick Campanelli and the girl from Entertainment Tonight Canada for a new lottery based on Rock, Paper, Scissors... Only the OLG would come up with such a thing, apparently the regular lottery is too boring -.-

I loved the cold open. Mostly because it was Andy Samberg as Rick Santorum. Let's be honest, I love him. I own Hot Rod on DVD, and have The Lonely Island on my mp3 player. I don't know really anything about American election processes, but it was mostly about travelling around to dangerous parts of the country... and maybe accidentally crossing the border into Quebec or Mexico haha. So most of the jokes, I understood.
The monologue wasn't terribly funny... Lots of NBA references, food jokes and the guy has a weird voice... The only part I enjoyed was when he said 'people say 'isn't Weight Watchers for ladies?' and to them I say 'Shut up, Michael Jordan!' That made me LOL.
Smoking addiction medicine 'fauxmercial' with Kristen Stewart trying to kill Bill Hader? Never seen jazz hands as a side effect... Yea ok that one was weird.
Ok and now we have Keenan Thompson as Charles Barkley and Charles Barkley as Shaquille O'Neil, and Jay Pharoah as some other dude... I'm already confused. But at least they're not saying much about actual basketball haha I don't understand sports! There was a bonnet (or 'baby hat') involved... And Bill Hader as some cranky old guy. But it kinda makes sense that the basketball players don't want to talk about basketball. So they're just competing with stupid things, and making fun of each other. Lol.
The next segment is called 'white people problems'... As a white person I'm very interested to see what they think of my problems haha.. 'She was all 'Was this chicken cooped up with other chickens or was it free to come and go as it pleased?' Then I stopped listening' LMAO 'For those of you at home, 'awkward' is a word white people use to describe every situation..' I feel so white watching this! But it's funny... AND I'M ALLOWED TO LAUGH BECAUSE I'M WHITE!!!
This next segment is one of the ones where SNL goes too far on one awkward joke... Charles Barkley, as a woman, tells his friends that 'she' is a lesbian... And her friends have to face the wall so that she and her fiance can have a private conversation... It wasn't that funny except for the rediculousness of them facing the wall. And Paul the SNL featured guy whose last name I can't remember is SO TINY!
The Charles Barkley translator app was funny because I have always thought that those post-game interviews are monotone and full of jibberish and chiches... and yet my dad always wants to watch them...
WEEKEND UPDATE!! Let's see what my boy Seth Meyers has to say this week :) I wish he was in more sketches, but I love him so I will settle for seeing him here! More election jokes... Walmart! Apparently some guy got arrested after he tried to pay for a vacuum and a microwave with a fake one-million dollar bill. Ok that joke writes itself! Michelle Bachmann... God I can't stand this character I hope the real lady isn't that obnoxious but at least she will never be president. And hey! Seth I love you, but Canadians are not beer-swilling hicks!! The Fred Armisen newspaper guy makes no sense but he's funny although I'm not sure why :P Ok as I am watching him, I think I might talk like that sometimes -.- LMAO a guy stabbed someone else because the other guy didnt know Beyonce and Jay-Z were married... Guy has issues! Epic Star Wars joke in there, aaaaaand... YES DRUNK UNCLE!! He has 2007 glasses lol I dont even know where they even got those 5 years later. 'Twitter me! twitter me! twitter me!' This guy's rediculous! I love how Seth acts like he has no idea what the guests are gonna do hahaha
Oh man not this guy... The Lord Wyndemere character is so pretentious and irritating!! I should go to the bathroom while this is on... Geez Paul whatshisname is so tiny and adorable but I hope they retire that character.
I can tell this 'adult film awards ceremony' is gonna be creepy. I feel a little violated watching that... And even more so because all those people are supposed to be dead... Where's Ass Dan?
HAHAHA I love the digital short 'Convoluted Jerry' that was hilarious!!! And not just because of Andy Samberg!
Hey now they're gonna explain the Mayan calendar to us! Apparently we owe the one dude a new loinclot cos we missed his birthday... And it's literally SET in STONE, so there will be no changes. The world is gonna end in 2012 because they ran out of space hahaha but I have seriously never understood that calendar.
Ok that's it for this week... And I have no idea who's on next week, this one was pretty good but it's not Fallon & Buble!!
