When I was sick Part I

Well I'm back and feeling better, I've got a glut of show to talk about (I think 34 in total).  The best way I have though to get through this immense back log is to do double posts until I've worked my way through all that I've watched.  So if everything go according to plans I'll post once around 1 P.M. and then again around 7.  I had originally planned to have one post be old stuff and the other be current and then I realized that I would end up skipping over episodes I had watched and taken notes on to talk about newer episodes I had watched E.g. If I was doing it this way today I would talk about the episode of Biggest Loser I watched last night but would still have last weeks episode to talk about.  Hopefully I will be able to burn through this rather quickly and it doesn't turn into a vicious circle where I constantly adding more things to the backlog than I am talking about.

"Me? Jealous?" Air Date 2-8-12

I don't know why but for all the shows I watch this one is the one I have the hardest time writing about.  It always seems like anything I would write is either retelling a joke from the show or criticizing minor details that feels more like nit picking than anything else and it's one of my favorite shows and I hate doing that.

The scene in the restaurant with the DJ must have been shot in an actual diner because they were shooting from outside through the window.  It was barely visible but if you looked closely you could see the reflection of the glass.

I'm glad the episode came together as well as it did, because it didn't look like it would get there until the very end and the show is the best when they intertwine all the story lines.

"The St. Valentine's Day Maxssacre" Air Date 2-8-12

Man, the jokes were so rapid fire in the first few minutes of this episode they probably had more in it than most sit-coms have in a whole 22 minutes.  I like that about this show, it feels like they are real friend sitting around talking and cracking wise on each other not your standard show where no one talks over each other and the next line isn't spoken until the laugh track stops.

I found it amusing that all of Max's prices were $69 except the spa package which was $169.  I like the way they portray Max as gay but still an immature idiot male.

On the side of Dave's food truck in very small print was the web address for his company.  www.steakmehometonight.com, so obviously I had to pause the episode and go check out the web page.  I must say they have done a great job of making a truly amateurish hack web page.  I always love silly little viral stuff like this.

"Dangerous Beauty"  Air Date 2-8-12

Pretty smart of SyFy to cross promote the start of the second season of Being Human by having one of the actors be a guest judge on Face/Off.  And he was really into it, usually guest judge actors don't really care too much about these competitions.  It was nice to see how much fun Sam was having with the whole thing.

I thought all the werewolf makeups were really well done.

If you have immunity you shouldn't have to compete in the challenges.  There is no real advantage and if you end up paired with a poor performer all that will happen is your stock will end up lowered.

Where do you even go to get a Rhino?  It's not like you can call a pet store and order one.

There were more options as to what animal the teams could pick than there were teams.  This wasn't the case  in the challenge with the sneakers.  I don't like it when shows are inconstant with how they work challenges.  I wouldn't care which way they did it either always have extra or always have just enough, but pick a way and stick with it.

Because they have to incorporate the flowers into their design the guys that picked the chameleon would seem to have a natural advantage.

Beki is doing everything that Sue wants her to do, the way that Sue wants her to do it.  I don't see how Beki could be sabotaging her.

That snake is a hot mess.

The spider looks like it has rolled up poster board for talons.  I don't know what they were thinking, but it didn't come together they way that it should have.

The judges were hard on all the contestants.  It was a hard challenge to incorporate the flowers into the animal design and the judges were critical of every way that the contestants attempted to accomplish it.  I'm not exactly sure what the judges were looking for.

You are not really being thrown under the bus if everything that is being said is both true and accurate.

Athena was the right choice to send home.  She has been one of the weaker people since the very beginning and the only reason she made it this long is because others kept messing up worse.  There was no possible way that she was ever going to win this show,
