Recaps & Reviews
We're still on Billboard Hits for the week. You got yer introductions of the contestants, you got yer introductions of the judges, you got yer singing. Let's go!
Oh, but wait, I feel I should address something at the outset. Last night, I loved Lacey's performance, perhaps best of all. Everybody else in the world (at least on the internet) HATED it.
You know, I was going to just do one post a week, but it turns out I have so much to say that it's easier to break it up into a post each night. I figured rather than edit the life out of my recap, which would take more time than all of this is worth, I'd just post it here for your enjoyment, in all its 1,600-word glory.
Survivor: Heroes vs. Villains - It's Getting the Best of Me

Things are getting crazy on the island, and we're only a few days in! Just like Survivor: All-Stars, there is a lot of turmoil early on. But unlike that show, it doesn't seem to be personalities clashing based on previous relationships. This seems to be more a case of people who have played the game before thinking they know better than anyone how to play the game.
So, here's what I think goes down in the series of events leading up to the mishmash of scenes we're shown over this week's two episodes: after the cuts from group round, each contestant sang one more song for the judges -- seemingly from a rather short list of choices, including, most prominently, "Man in the Mirror," "I'm Yours," "Bu
Now we're getting somewhere. And it is somewhat fitting that Locke, whoever he is, is the one who stars in the episode where we finally see progress in this, the final season. As much as I didn't mind last week's episode, in hindsight we didn't really get anywhere. Perhaps inadvertently making up for this, tonight's episode was pretty great.
With only three ladies left, it's the much anticipated exotic location/sex date episode. We rejoin Jake and the ladies on the tail-end of their "powerful journey" in the beautiful island of St. Lucia.
Jake wonders how Ali is doing. Luckily, we're about to find out. For one, she's not at work (which is what she left the show for).
Manager and Salesman has got to be the most disappointing episode of The Office in a very long time. There was minimal characterization, a predictable plot, and a love story that's going nowhere. And where there is characterization, there is nothing memorable.
With Valentine's Day just around the corner, what better show to have a themed episode than Supernatural?
It all starts with the cute couple Russell and Alice, who at the end of their first date both admit to having a great time and face the awkward first kiss.

Ten years ago, a little show called Survivor debuted as summer filler on CBS. Called a "reality show", it was a kind of hybrid mix of a game show and documentary, with a bit of Gilligan's Island thrown in.
Ahhh, here we are. You... me... Simon... Ellen. The world's happiest family. It's Hollywood Week! We could just combine those to say Hollyweed.
