Apologies for the Raj Ratings being late this week. Corporate acquisitions occuring at the same time as yearly planning and the month end process really suck up any and all free time. Hey, I’m living a Trumpesque life right now, without all of the icky sex talk. Seriously, sex hasn’t been this uncomfortable since I was 13 and watching a good movie with my parents when a random sex scene appeared. This week, I’ll be brief with the rating, although that’s mainly because Markus has already used all of the words. I have yet to read this thread, so I’ll probably be highly derivative, duplicative, and pointless with this post. Wow, sorta like the Martha Stewart Apprentice.
** Looking for Love: Bachelorettes in Alaska** - Or, these people are in a cold, lonely place with no hope for love or revival
Melissa, Chris, Jennifer W, Toral, Kristi, Josh, Jennifer M, James, Mark- Man, that bloodbath really extended this list. The one hidden benefit of 4 firings in one week is that it really saves me a lot of time in having to come up with things to say about people that didn’t do much on an episode. Heck, let’s just fire everyone and hire Randal right now.
Markus (BC)- Grampa Simpson has left the building. Could this guy have been any odder?
Boot Camp - Or, in major need of a butt-kicking, but actual physical contact isn’t allowed
Clay (BC)- I still have no idea how this episode got quite as bad for you as it did. But, next week’s fireworks should be interesting considering how clearly peeved you were going back to the apartment. But, you really did yourself no favors.
Adam (BB)- A drop for you, only because after seeing you lead, it’s clear you are not yet ready for primetime. You sort of looked like a new born foal out there, all raring to go but pretty much tripping over yourself in a slimy, uncoordinated dance of dorkiness.
Felisha (BB)- Name one thing she has done on this show besides be Alla’s friend.
Big Brother - Or, beginning the downward spiral into ultimately being canceled
Newlyweds: Nick & Jessica - Or, ultimately harmless and forgettable fluff in need of a shot in the arm
** Brian ** (N:N&J)- Right now, I think you are on the outside looking in at the final 4. You do seem OK though. But, I really am not a fan of players who spend a task thinking of how each and every thing is fodder for the PM’s future failure. You dono’t tug on Superman’s cape, you don’t spit into the wind. You also don’t question Randal’s planning when he’s taking on a kindergartner.
American Idol - Or, mostly positive so far but still in major danger of falling apart when a tough theme night comes around
Rebecca (AI)- Final 4. Allow me to make a sports analogy that only a few people will get. You are Lamar Odom of the Lakers. When people look at you, they see the make-up of an All-star. When people see a few snippets of your game, they see potential greatness. Yet, somehow, you still have yet to make an all=star team, have in impact in the playoffs, or make your team greater. So far a lot more talk than show.
Alla (AI)- Who else on your team can make the final 4? This is almost by default, the 2 sweetest words in the English language.
Survivor - Or, when they’re good, they are really good. But, there are enough rough spots to keep them from the top spot
Marshawn (S)- Easy final 4. You don’t seem the type to slip up either.
The Amazing Race - Or, the king of the hill. A well oiled machine that shows no signs of slowing down unless a taxi gets in the way
Randal (TAR)- Might as well just rename this the Randal show because he’s not going home before the final 2.
The Rancic-Perdew Corollary - Clay is still done. I think once Adam was asked if he was a virgin, he just became too icky of pick to win.
