Most of the basketball mania is gone and CBS reality show fans can cozy up to their favorite shows once again. Plus, of course, ratings machines American Idol and Dancing With the Stars are in full gear, too. Not to mention Celebrity Apprentice … after all, how did you think Dennis Rodman would react to being a business bro? Yes, that’s him (probably) passed out under the coat on the couch.
Without further ado, let’s get into the goings-on from the reality side of TV!
That was the week it was
On Celebrity Apprentice last week (not last night), Dennis Rodman finally got the boot. While I enjoyed having him on the show for the entertainment factor, it was obvious that he might not want to be there as much as Trump wanted him to be there. Drinking problem? Well, yeah. But I think his heart didn’t seem to be in the whole thing, either. He definitely wasn’t a team player although he once played one on a court.
Even though I was an early supporter of Megan Joy Corkrey on American Idol, I shed no tears when she was cut this past week. To put things bluntly, I thought she truly sucked singing the Bob Marley song. Since she runs hot and cold, that was her last hurrah. She didn’t do herself any favors by being rude to Simon, but I doubt they would have saved her anyway. What is surprising me is that Allison ended up in the bottom three. Why was that little power rocker kid there instead of Scott?
Sigh. The team I thought most likely to be my least favorite team who ended up being my favorite team were Philiminated from The Amazing Race. I had been so intent on abhoring Mel on the team. When I read up on him, I was sure he’d be my target for derision. Instead, I adored the guy. He has a quick wit and was a determined racer. I say “feh” to jerk cabbies!
When is Taj going to come to her senses on Survivor? Get that idol back, girl! The voting at Tribal Council this past week was one of the biggest nailbiters in the history of the show. Had Stephen and JT decided to blindside her, she would have goon poof. She’s too trusting. It’s one thing to tell people you have the hidden idol, another thing to let them take possession of it. In the end, it was Sydney voted out. The merge is on for this coming week. It’s going to be interesting to see how the four member cross-tribe alliance is going to work. Will Sierra and Brendan stick with their tribemates or will they get rid of Joe and JT, then turn their focus on Coach? I can’t wait!
Holly Madison and Steve Wozniak were eliminated from Dancing With the Stars. No surprises there, none at all.

I was rooting for Mike and Mel too!!
Yes, that was one sad Sunday night. First, my Mel and Mike were Philiminated. We then had one of the most sad boardrooms in Apprentice history, celebrity or otherwise. Not that Dennis did not deserve to go, but it was very sad to watch the “intervention” take place in front of millions of viewers.
