Haines His Way

DR Jose, welcome back!  I think you should post the review you sent me this morning.

Really?

I like the model/drug addicts. I think they have a lot of potential.

I really liked the team with the girl with the disability.

Here are the teams who turned me off:

The black women.

The father/daughter.

The guy who yells at his girlfriend.

Here are the teams who i like:

The korean guys (or whatever they were). But they need to pick it up big  time.

I also thought the miss americas (or whatever pageant they were from) were quite fit. They could do well.

As for the other teams the cheerleaders did well. I think the gay couple will have trouble.

And OMG that team from kentucky (alabama?), the hicksters. So funny watching them. Why do i think this will be DR MBarnum's new favorite?

LOL, DR Jennifer, I am not surprised, but we like completely different teams.  I was cheering most for the father/daughter and the black women.  I was sorry to see the Indian couple go.  

The models will be ok if they quit the program stuff... ok you were addicts and you got clean, you don't need to tell me that 100 times, I get it already- move on.

The team that annoyed me the most was the woman with the disability and her whatever he is.  I started out cheering for her and was impressed with the things she can do, but she turned out to really annoy me, I didn't like it when they preboarded and said " We can play the disability card a lot in this race" or whatever the exact words were.  She's some sort of Iron Man athlete, but will lie (it's an emergency) and use her disability to gain an advantage.  I don't like that.

I don't think they should modify the challenges or change them for just her. Others have problems doing them too due to weight or lack of training or age or whatever, if you're going to do TAR, you have to do TAR, if you can't, you'll be eliminated. That's the way it should be.

I think it's totally appropriate to have a physical challenge like the rope early in the competition.  How bad to you want this? Bad enough to focus and challenge yourself beyond where you thought you could go?  Everyone made it up the rope, so it wasn't impossible for anyone and I think it was great for the teams.  Even the coal miner finally showed some respect for his wife saying she was going to have kids at home who would be so proud of her and that he never imagined she could do that. Maybe he'll even listen to her a little now.

As for the Topic of the Day...

Like DR George - I have no freakin' idea either.

Although, like DR Music Guy - I also seem to remember "Itsy-Bitsy Teeny-Weeny..." from early on.

-Oh, and anything that was on the Sha-Na-Na TV show.

DR Jennifer, isn't the guy who yelled all the time with his girlfriend not his wife? I think he was the one complaining that she was a control freak...he should look in the mirror, lol

Better go, think I'll brew some green tea in my office and get busy...

Jose, welcome back to the City That Never Sleeps

I seem to remember a childhood filled with very energetic music - my mom had her radio on all the time... I remember a hubbub about Elvis and Hound Dawg, but I don't know when I first heard that song. Lotsa Elvis, Gene Pitney, Jerry Lee, and I think Ray...

Elmore!!! Thanks for the hello's... unfortunately, the time I spent in the BMI workshop TWO YEARS AGO(!!!) was not a good time for my best work -- my mother had gotten her terminal diagnosis, and I was commuting back and forth NY-LA every ten days... it was just the wrong time to be in that august company, and I'm afraid I didn't make the impression on those other writers that i had hoped to make... Ah, well... I don't regret the time i spent here in LA, with the family, having that once-in-a-lifetime experience of participating in Farewells.

I wonder if when they audition they say "Pick us, we're the team with the guy who yells and the woman who puts up with it until she breaks down and crys"

Hmm...

I just saw the commercial for Clay Aiken's new album...

Question:  I thought his "people" were trying to make him look less[/b] gay?

Well, he had that atrocious hairstyle when he was a guest star on the season finale of AMERICAN IDOL back in May, so someone in his retinue must think it's a good idea. Maybe that's THE style now. I'm so far out of the loop, I wouldn't know.

TAR thoughts...







Loved last nights episode!

My favorite teams are/were the father/daughter, the Indian team (Vipul and Arti), the brothers (Edwin and Godwin), the models, and the Miss Americas.

The Kentucky team I find entertaining...so far...but if that gal would stop yelling at her husband all the time I would like them a bit more.

The bickering couple...uhg!

the other teams have not made an impression on me yet, although I was put off by the introduction to the gay team...I didn't like their attitude.

Good Afternoon!

So, instead of heading out and about this morning - I'm just still too much of a zombie right now - I've gone ahead and gotten a head start on Operation DECLUTTER!

-A whole lot of shredding going on!  -Alas, I'm not on the ski slopes.

BK - The tape (of Skip playing the Last Starfighter numbers that you'll be doing) arrived at your mail place via FedEx.  

Hope the latest Starfighter script arrives soon, too.

I just popped in to say that I must now leave for work.
