The lab is filled with candelabras and models and Elvira. Did I mention Elvira? Yowza, how old is she? Doesn’t matter, she still looks good, I guess. The challenge is to create a new Mistress of the Dark with the assistance of a hair stylist. In two hours. Tate creates a kickass bride-of-Frankenstein-meets-sexy-nurse, but the win goes to Roy’s Elmira, the long lost cousin of Elvira, because it has that spooky sexy humor that is essential to Elvira’s schtick. He gets immunity for the next Spotlight Challenge and a massive makeup collection. Continue reading

How I Met Your Mother, The Final Season
Because I’ve never watched even a single episode of How I Met Your Mother, I thought it’d be a good, no, a great idea to recap the final season. I am told by an avid viewer that this show really is about a guy (Ted) telling his kids how he met their mother, and that after about forty-seven years, he finally gets up to the part of the story where he meets this elusive lady. I suppose that’s one way to write a sitcom. So here goes nothing. Or something. Continue reading
Dancing With the Stars, Season 17: Episode 2
This week, the “stars” dance “passionate Latin routines” before learning who has to exit stage left. First up is a sexy samba from Elizabeth and Val. Her practice on the pole serves her well with the samba, though she can’t quite do a full split. For some reason Steven Tyler is watching, probably because he’s a huge Showgirls fan. Old man was so close and something about a tiny little thing, the squirrelly guy is impressed, and the nice lady chair dances her approval for a score of 25. Continue reading

Survivor Season 27, Epsidode 1: Blood Is Thicker Than Anything
It’s the twenty-seventh season of Survivor, with the first episode airing thirteen years ago. And I’ve watched every last one. All of them. Even that really boring season where they kept the contestants in a fenced in pen in the middle of Kenya, or that other really boring season where nobody fought with anyone. So when Survivor decides to switch up the format a bit, I get a little nervous because do not ruin my show, Jeff Probst! And this is one of those seasons.
Dancing With The Stars Season 17, Episode 1
So this dancing show, this is something that really happens? I kind of thought it was more of an inside joke. “Oh, I just stayed home and watched Dancing With The Stars if-you-know-what-I-mean.” Well, color me surprised and mildly intrigued. Continue reading

Tim says that the modern Southern woman dresses vibrantly and expressively, with feminine details, and is always fashionably put together. You know. For your average tea party. Continue reading
