What a time it is for reality television fans! I think this week’s Tribal Council on Survivor had to be one of the best and most entertaining ever on the show. Sure, I enjoy blindsides on the show. But this one was a humdinger and a true blindside of someone I so wanted gone. Two […]
Yep, it was another week of Adam Lambert being oh-so-cool on American Idol, Coach thinking he’s all that and a bag of chips over on Survivor, and Gordon Ramsay having screaming hissy fits on Hell’s Kitchen.
