So, probably not many people who read my blog are into football.  I, however. being from Indianapolis, am SO into football.  So, you can imagine my utter JOY when the Indianapolis Colts won the Super Bowl tonight!  I seriously thought we weren't going to win when the Bears got their first touchdown not even 30 seconds into the game.  But, the Colts rallied and BROUGHT IT BACK FOR THE WIN!  We have some truly great players and, in my opinion, one of the best defensive teams in the league. 

Anyway, GO COLTS!

NBC is canceling Passions.  But you haven't heard the thing they're replacing it with - A FIFTH HOUR OF THE TODAY SHOW.  Who watches the Today show?  Seriously?  Why do they need a fifth hour of Al Roker saying "Well, in the northwest, guess what?  IT'S RAINING!"  Why do we need a fifth hour of Matt Lauer figthing with Scientologists?  Why must we watch a fifth hour of Anne Curry being the only halfway respectable news anchor?  This situation is very perplexing.  I'm not liking it AT ALL.

Speaking of Passions - Though the rape obsession has died down a bit, it's finally getting good.  A real rivalry is brewing between Fancy and her "saintly" aunt Sheridan.  Grace just died, throwing off the Bennett bonds again.  Kay and Fox just got married, as did Whit and Chad, and you KNOW those aren't going to last, and that it will be fun watching them unravel.  And hey - we haven't seen Chris!  So that just makes it 2395729 times better!

Plus - Jared and Theresa are finally engaged!  I hope that, when Passions ends in August, Ethan will have learned what Gwen did, ask for Theresa back.  And when he does that, SHE'LL SAY NO and stay with Jared.  Wouldn't that be lovely?

Heck, seriously, they should keep Passions on the air just so that we can see Chris get knocked off.

This rape thing on Passions has seriously gone TOO FAR.  Now that Fancy has been raped, how many rape victims does that make for the show?  It's really very sick that JERk's been getting away with this.  Does he even realize the grave situation in which rape puts their victim?  He just treats it as if, though bad, that it's not that big of a deal.  I think he really does need to stop with the rape storylines.  It's getting old and, more importantly, disrespectful.

Other than that, with regard to Passions, I'm becoming more and more convinced that Chad's lover is either a man or a giraffe.  Every time someone asks if he's cheating on Whit with another woman, he says no.  However, he's admitted to Jared that he has been cheatingg on Whitney, but he never specified the gender of this person, while Jared never asked.  So, like I said, it's either a man or a giraffe.  Or maybe even a male giraffe.

And, since I haven't posted anything worth mentioning about The Amazing Race, I'd like to say how disappointed I was about the last episode.  For one, I didn't even get to watch it because of the football games that janked up the times, which threw my DVR off.  Secondly, I was disappointed that the Barbies weren't in the final three, yet Lyn and Karlynn WERE.  I think the Barbies were the team who worked the hardest and deserved to win the most.  Lastly, I was sorely disappointedd that Tyler and James won.  Well, actually, I would have been disappointedd if any of the final three teams had won, but that's beside the point.  Why should two interchangeable guys with no personality win over two strong women who proved that they could beat down the stereotypes of beauty queens?  Dustin and Kandice were just awesome and I'm just sad they didn't make it to the end.

Well, I suppose that's it for now.  On a personal note - FINAL EXAMS ARE OVER!  I'm so relieved!

That's it for now.  I just wanted to say "What's up with the turkey icon?"

Am I on crack or did Kay FINALLY 'fess up to what Ivy did to Sam and Grace's marriage?  Man, I seriously WAS NOT expecting it!  I figured it was gonna happen sometime - there have been rumors floating around that Charity and Grace are coming back, and earlier in yesterday's episode Eve was telling Ivy that she was going to spill the beans.  But MAN!  All of a sudden like that?!?!  I just kind of sat there with my mouth open for a while thinking "Did that just happen?  Did she just say that?"  I think Heidi did a really good job of acting in this scene.  It was like Kay didn't even realize that she was divulging that secret.  TOTALLY AWESOME!  I can't WAIT to see what happens to Ivy, Kay and Eve now! 

Speaking of secrets, who else thinks that Pilar won't really tell Theresa's secret to Becks?  She'd have to be retarded... which I think Whitney is, so I think, given the right prodding, she's gonna spill it to Gwen.  What a dummy. 

Seriously, it's hitting the fan now on Passions!  And to think, I was thinking about taking a break from it...

Wow, it's been a while since I last posted a blog, and so many things have happened in the TV world.

First of all, TAR.  I started out really liking Tom and Terry, but by last Sunday, I was ready for them to be gone.  Luckily, they were booted.  However, I was not ready for Duke and Lauren to be ousted because I really liked them.  I also like Edwin and Godwin, David and Mary (against my better judgment), and Peter and Sarah.  Well, not so much Peter as Sarah.  She's just effing AWESOME.

And on Passions - what the eff is going on over there?  Is everyone just getting it on and leaving their kids to fend for themselves?  What's the deal?  And if Chris and Spike don't leave soon, I'm gonna scream.  The only problem with Chris leaving is that that would leave Sheridan free to be with Luis, and I really like this Fancy/Luis thing.  :( 

And The Office.  Oh, The Office.  I REALLY REALLY wish Jim would go back to Dunder-Mifflin so he could be with Pam - but that's wishful thinking.  Instead, he's flirting with some other chick at some other company and I'm seriously NOT LIKING IT.  And, there have been some SERIOUSLY funny lines thus far.  "There's no way of knowing what's inside a tiger's head. We don't have the technology."  How funny is that? 

I need a new Deathwatch character.  Any idea who's gonna die on Passions?

Theresa's done it now.  After challenging future beau Jared to a women vs. men baseball game, Jared smacked her in the face with a baseball and she got knocked out (but, thank whoever, not knocked up).  So, years from now, when their grandkids say "How did you guys meet?" Jared can say "Well, we met, and I knocked her off her feet."  Get it?  I can't be that clever at only 8 in the morning. 

And, according to spoilers, Fancy and Luis do some strip-studying, which will prove useless since Luis is a complete dolt; however, I like him, and I want them to hook up.  It beats being with Sheridan! 

And I can't wait for Kay to get her memory back.  I'm getting annoyed with the whole amnesia thing.  Besides, Miguel doesn't deserve Kay.  He's a jerk, and Kay needs someone who won't go chasing after some blonde chick every time she come around.  Someone like Fox, who likes dark skin and hair.  Besides, Miguel is two inches away from having a mullet, and who wants to date a mullet?

CHRIS DEATHWATCH:  Not yet.

Well, it's finally over between Ethan and Theresa.  I thought for a moment that it was all a lie - while Theresa was being consoled by Noah, Gwen saw them and naturally thought Noah was Ethan, because she's got an EFFING BRICK FOR A BRAIN and practically mauled Theresa.  Then, Theresa went into her "You're still afraid Ethan will come to me because he's really in love with me" thing, and I thought the whole "It's over" was a sham.  But no, it's really over.  Lindsey showed some really good acting, except for the parts where she said "Don't touch me."  She got a little whiny there.  But other than that, I was impressed. 

I'm really glad Theresa's getting a new love interest (Jared), but I'm a little disappointed that they haven't hooked her up with Noah.  I've thought, pretty much ever since Noah came back to Harmony, that they would make a great couple.  I think they have good chemistry, and if Dylan could just step up a bit on the acting, they'd be great together.  And I can't wait to see if Liza's real-life pregnancy will make its mark on the show in a Gwen pregnancy - who thinks she'd give birth to something furry and horned?

I can't think of anything else to write, except that I hope that Katherine's appearance doesn't mean a comeback for her, and that I hope TC bites the dust sometime soon.

Well, they've finally brought TC back on to Passions.  He's gone and gotten drunk and pretty much killed himself.  Now he's just barely hanging onto life, ready to kick th bucket any second now.  And, to that, I say a big "That's too bad!  Darn it!"  Let's face it - TC needs to be off of that show.  What else is there for him? He's lost Eve, his dreams for his daughters have been dashed, and he's grandfather to a baby born of incest.  No wonder he got plastered!  Life right now sucks the big one for him, and if I were him, I'd go and kill myself too.  Now, go along and leave us TC.  We'll be all right without you.

Actually, today's episode of Passions impressed me, as surprised as I am to admit it.  We finally saw some decent acting from Fox and Miguel (even though Miguel definitely said something like "I can't help it if Kay wants to get it on", which made me laugh really hard).  Siren seems to have some murderous temptations - hopefully she'll turn back into a mermaid and become cat food for Fluffy so that I won't have to look at her anymore.  Eve and Julian were on today, which I always enjoy.  AND WE GOT A MONTAGE!  Seriously, how long had it been since we had a good montage, complete with a sappy song from some singer we've never heard of?  I just hope that when TC wakes up, he catches Eve and Julian in a big wet liplock.  That'll be fun to watch!

How fast did Theresa talk today?  "I'vegottogetGwenandJTbecauseforsurehe'sgottheproofthatit-wasGwenandRebeccawhosenttheinformationtothetabloidsand-uncoveredEthan'struepaternitytherebycrushingallhishopesthathe-hadasaCraneandhe'llfinallyseethatIdidallthatI'veeverdone-becauseIlovehimandhe'llfinallybeafamilywithmeandLittleEthan-andJanejustlikefateintended."  Honestly, she could be one of the people on commercials that say the fine print crap. Like I said on AlanShore's blog, I propose that all of us who are of drinking age should play a drinking game with this:  Each time Theresa says "tabloids," "paternity" or "fate," we'll take a shot of whatever-liquor-you-have-lying-around.  Every time Gwen lets that vein in her neck get too big from anger, we'll take 3 sips of a Martimmy.  And, every time Ethan makes a huge hand gesture, we'll chug a can of beer.  Can you imagine?  Within an hour, we'd pass out.

Can't wait to see tomorrow's episode!

I seriously thought Frank Lomax was back on Passions today.  That guy Chad was talking to today looked an awful lot like Mr. Lomax, but upon further inspection of this guy, I concluded that he was way too white to be Frank.  I thought "Wow, that's cool, Frank's wokring in the same church where Whitney is doing crap for Big Al, is that NOT a coincidence?"  But, sadly, my hopes for an even bigger conspiracy were dashed.

Poor Fancy, getting all sprayed with mud and stuff.  That sucks.  That's happened to me before and it bites the big one.  And, can I ask what kind of dead animal Beth had on her head?  If that's the new style in hair nowadays, count me out, I'll stick with the bangs that I hate. 

Now that you've wasted your time reading this, I'll stop now.
