When I was sick Part II



"One Meatball Stands Alone" Air Date  3-8-12

Mike tells Gianni about him and Nicole then he goes upstairs,  as he passes the mirror he lifts his shirt to get a good look at his abs.  What a Douche.

I wonder if they have to call in a deep cleaning crew like they sometimes have to on the fix-a-restraunt shows to clean the house after they leave, because from the looks of it there is filth everywhere.

For the past two seasons of this show there has been one and only one running storyline and that is Mike and Nicole and what really happened before Italy.  They have been building to this ultimate confrontation and conclusion and what happens? Gianni hears about it and then goes and takes a nap and then later Mike and Nicole have a food fight.  Talk about the most underwhelming outcome, it was like buying fireworks and after lighting them having them all be duds.  The only way this should have ended is with fisticuffs and a trip to the hospital.

Did Vinny and Pauly not go camping because they didn't want to camp or because they wanted to pull this prank, either way it should be a classic prank that can't be topped.

Did they go and ask Danny for help or for permission?  I'm pretty sure he owns the house that they are living in, so they might have needed his okay before moving everything around.

Well, it didn't take them long before they had completely trashed the woods.  What a bunch of savages.

Was anyone else kind of hoping they all got eaten by a bear.


 "Love and Marriage"  Air Date  3-7-12

I really don't like it when shows do the whole flash forward flashback thing, where they show something that happens later in the episode and then rewind to the beginning and put a graphic on the screen saying something like "24 hours earlier".  It's basically a warning sign that the producers are telling us the first half of the show is going to be boring, but stick with it because after that there are going to be fireworks.  They did it the other week on walking dead, "yeah, they are going to the school bus parking lot, and there will be a lot of talking, but stick with it because soon ZOMBIES!!!"  and all it did was take away the element of surprise when the zombies showed up.  It just smacks of poor storytelling whether its a reality show or a scripted show.

They seem to be letting the contestants leave the house an awful lot this season.  Usually there are never any scenes where they are out of the house and this season it seems like they are going out every night.

Well I guess they didn't spoil the ending in the first episode.  But it did give away far too many of the teams that went very deep in this competition.

 That's a lot of cake they had to eat.  For as body conscious as most of these people are it has to be more sugar than they normally eat in a month.  It might not seem like much but trust me, they will be feeling the effects of eating that much sugar in one sitting.

The challenge would have been better if they had to get married at the end of the competition. 

If you know that you are going to go in next time unless you win, wouldn't it make the most sense to put the strongest team possible in this time.  If they come back you know that they had planned to put you in next anyway, and there is the possibility that they might get eliminated.

I think it is one of life's unwritten rules that if you are about to do something and you think to yourself that what you are about to do might be offensive and racist, don't do it because more than likely it is offensive and racist.  And it doesn't help your case if someone from the race that might be offended says its okay.

If I were Ty i would have been more offended because what they did wasn't funny. Putting chocolate pudding on your face to pretend your black is one thing, after doing it, then doing nothing but walk around is another.  It's like on Seinfeld, Jerry wasn't upset that his dentist converted to Judaism just so he could tell Jewish jokes, because Jerry was a Jew, Jerry was upset because he was a comedian and his dentist wasn't funny.

I watched this episode about two weeks ago, but my TiVo cut off the ending and I had to wait for another airing so I could see the end before talking about it.  They finally aired another viewing of it and what did I miss?  Them cutting to black and the screens saying "To Be Continued."  Thanks a lot MTV.
