Welcome one, welcome all! Yep, it's a new season of Survivor at hand! Zoetawny was kind enough to create a new blog logo for the show and, knowing what she's been going through, she rocks indeed! Lifeguard Laurie is running the pool -- the random draw has these picks: Troy Robertson -- Lynn1, Margo Sabrina Thompson -- Leigh, meb Nina Acosta -- Laurie, ML Monica Culpepper -- Jenna's mom, Monty

The Amazing Race begins this Sunday! Who's gonna be here? While I have no favorite team just going over the bio videos, I do have a least favorite team for the win. Can you guess who it is? Is there any interest in a pool this season? If so, respond to this post. And, of course ... stop back tonight for the Survivor blog party!

Yes, it's another Sunday. That means it's time for another off television topic reflection on the week gone by in both words and photographs I've taken. Never fear, TV fans --- Survivor returns this Wednesday! As usual, I'll have the blog party going on as the show airs here on the east coast. Everyone is welcome to join in! The esteemed Lifeguard Laurie will be running the blog pool. If you

It's Sunday morning once again. Odd thing, that. It seems like it comes around once a week or so! But, because it's here again, it's time for my weekly off television topic reflection on the week gone by in both words and photographs I've taken. First, let's talk a little about television. I'm tired of the American Idol auditions. I'm glad they're over and it's onto Hollywood next week. Perhaps

Yes, yes ... it's already Sunday once again. Time flies when you're on a staycation! I meant to post about television this week. I realize I've been woefully negligent in that regard. Obviously, I will kick it in gear once shows make their return for the "winter season." Huh. I remember when there wasn't a winter season! I'm already enjoying the return of Southland on TNT. It's a gritty urban

It's Sunday morning, time for my weekly reflection on the week gone by in both words and photos I've taken. On the whole, this past week has been uneventful for me. I received the part I ordered for my best point and shoot camera and fixed it. And, once again the weather was a bit disagreeable for taking the newer fancy-schmancy DSLR around with me. I took it along to work one day only to have

The new season of Survivor premieres on Wednesday, February 15, at 8pm ET/PT. The cast was announced today on the CBS show website with an intro video hosted by Jeff Probst and individual cast videos. For me, the best news is that there will be NO Redemption Island! Sure, it was interesting for its first season, but I didn't think we needed a second go of it last season.  As for this season's

It's Sunday morning, time for my weekly reflection on the week gone by in both words and photographs I've taken. This hasn't been one of the best weeks for me. I managed to cut my foot which has made walking literally a pain. (Ow.) Yet I have so much I need to get done at work, I didn't want to take time off. So, ow. The weather hasn't really been cooperating much this past week either. I had to

It's Sunday morning, time for my off television topic reflection of the week gone by in both words and photographs I've taken. Of course, since we've been in television doldrums, I haven't had any real television posts lately. I did set up a discussion post for The Bachelor, but can't comment much because I don't watch the show. I have a few posts planned this week for SouthLAnd and The Celebrity

Yep, it's that time of the year again -- time for The Bachelor! While I don't watch the show and won't be able to post about it weekly, here's a place to discuss the happenings. The show's official website is right here. This discussion post is linked on the sidebar or just search on the blog for The Bachelor to get back here each week!

Happy New Year! I'm posting this a bit earlier than usual -- at midnight, for some odd reason! My best wishes for a happy and healthy 2012 (or, I believe, 5722) to all. Over the years, the community on this blog has become a part of my life ... and definitely a welcome part! I can only hope each and every one of you have a wondrous and amazing year ahead. Thinking back on this past year, 2011

As it's Christmas morning, I'm going to skip the photos this week. They will return next week!  I want to wish everyone a happy holiday and hope you can spend some time with loved ones. Thank you all for being a part of the blog this year! In closing, here's a bad video of clips I took while looking at Christmas in NYC ...

Survivors ready? It's the two-hour season finale followed by the reunion show! Alas, since it's Sunday night and CBS is a %$#, football has delayed the show. Sigh. I'm not sure when it is to start. I believe football was still on at 7:30 PM (I'm not fan). When I checked at 7:42 PM. 60 Minutes was on. So, I'll get this post up for 8 PM but the show won't be started then. Once it does begin,

It's Sunday morning, time for my off television topic look back on the week gone by in both words and photographs I've taken. My apologies to the Plainfield folks who come by looking for photos of our town. I'm only posting a few this week -- I'll make amends next week! The reason I'm not posting more Plainfield photos is because it finally wasn't raining on a Tuesday night. Yep, that's why!

I'm ready to give up watching any CBS show airing on Sunday evenings. I've had it. CBS seriously needs to work out a dependable schedule for its Sunday night primetime block. Once again football has delayed the show. And we're talking a season finale. I don't like football, not at all, not anyhow or anyway. However, if CBS wants to continue to air games, they need to start the primetime shows

It's Sunday morning, once again time for my off television topic reflecting on the week gone by in both words and photographs I've taken. It's hard to believe that Christmas is only two weeks away! When I was a child, the time between Thanksgiving and Christmas seemed to be an eternity. Nowadays, I blink my eyes and another year has gone by. I didn't really take a lot of great photos this week

It's Sunday morning, time for my weekly off television topic jaunt through the week gone by in both words and photographs I've taken. We've really been lucky temperature-wise here. For early December, we're definitely warmer than average. In the beginning of the week it was almost warm. Now we're back to temperatures in the low 50s going down into the high 20s in the overnight hours. I could

This past week was a shortened work week for me due to the Thanksgiving holiday. However, unlike many office workers, government and factory workers -- I worked Black Friday and Saturday, too. My days off were Sunday, Wednesday and Thursday. Thankfully, unlike some unlucky

I hope everyone has a wonderful Thanksgiving full of family, friends, food and love! Although the times aren't easy these days, friends and family are something that we're all thankful for everyday. While in no way a compete list, I'm thankful for many things this past year: Having friends and family I care about and who care about me. Knowing so many GOOD people who keep my life interesting.

I just found out that longtime blog community friend Jeannemarie Ahrens passed away last month. She has been an active commenter on the blog for several years. In one of my last contacts with her, she was offering to give me a ride to my surgeon's office as she's from the area. I'm not too sure what happened, but I do recall that she was being admitted to the hospital yet again. For those who

It's Sunday morning, time for my weekly off television topic reflection on the week gone by in both words and photographs I've taken. Unlike last Sunday when I was powerless due to the freak nor'easter which passed through, this week I have power and heat. Thankfully I was out only about a day; others didn't fare that well. Even so, I'm spoiled. It's incredibly annoying to be without power for

The show is delayed AGAIN here in the NYC area. 60 Minutes is starting at 7:29 PM ET, so we're talking a half-hour. Grr. Once it starts here, I'll update this post with the major happenings. But the real fun is in the comments; please pipe in with your thoughts! See you there! The teams are flying off to Africa! They're all on the same flight, so it will be an even playing field once again.

Yes, yes ... it's late for my weekly off television topic reflection on the week gone by in both words and photographs I've taken. I have a valid excuse, though. Due to a freak (yet not major) snowstorm, my power was out from about 1:30 PM yesterday until almost 10 AM today. I didn't go out for photos yesterday, nor yet today as the power outage messed with various plans I had and I'm playing

It's Sunday morning once again -- time for my weekly off television topic  reflection on the week gone by in both words and photographs I've taken. I've had yet another quiet week on the home front. I seem to have picked up a cold. That or perhaps just really bad allergies. I'm congested and sneezy. But, no. I haven't been hanging around Snow White. The weather here has really seemed to become

Remember now, returning reality "stars" on some of my favorite shows aren't necessarily my favorite casting choices on said shows. I've seen these people already and, in some cases like this, I've seen them more than one season. Folks are dying (figuratively, not literally I hope) to get in on the more popular reality shows. So, why do we keep getting retreads? I don't really care if the

Commercials. They're the bane of existence to folks watching television shows live as they air. Of course, that's probably fewer and fewer folks every year thanks to zapping them on DVR recorded shows. While some commercials can be entertaining, others just irk me to no end. I'm here today to share but a few observations. An example of the irksome would be the FiberOne commercials. Fiber in

It sounds like a rough one -- Porsche and Adam are all beat up, scraped and bleeding. They apparently were underwater bringing up hamster names to solve a puzzle, then filling in the puzzle underwater.Oh.And Porsche won.Adam is telling both of them he'll sacrifice the $500,000 if one of them will take him to the final two. He'll tell the jury to give it to whomever takes him.

10:39 PM -- Feeds are back and Rachel won this first HoH round.10:35 PM ET - Porsche asks Adam if he'd make sure she doesn't drown, but then says she's scared to let go. Rachel, meanwhile, is solid as a rock. The mixer spun about five times more then to trivia. I think she dropped, but need the feeds to come back before I commit to it. What wusses this bunch are! In previous seasons, this would

The feeds returned at midnight (ET). Gee, now they have real playing cards to make things more boring than their tea bag cards! Here's the skinny from inside that Big Brother House of Cards:Adam got a stuffed clown in his HoH stuff.Porsche joked about cutting off it's foot (shoe) to send with Jordan to give to Jeff.Jordan was packing, then called to the Diary Room and is now ironing a

Since I last reported, not a heck of a lot went on on the feeds themselves:Crystal (the fortune teller) repeated all of the premonitions she already told them, thus keeping them up until around 6 AM their time.At around 9 AM their time, BB gave them champagne and crafts ... to put on a rather "fake" show for the Showtime audience tonight.It should be an obvious ploy unless they really edit things

Her name is CrystalThe fortune teller has come to life, this time talking. First she said hello to Porsche by name. Porsche screamed and called in Rachel. They both screamed and got everyone else in there.The fortune teller told them first that one of them will be the winner of Big Brother. (Well, duh.)Then she said she had premonitions and they would have to hear all of them to win HoH. She

As expected, Adam did NOT use the PoV -- Kalia and Porsche remain on the block.Jordan thinks that Kalia has actually played the game and taken chances, unlike Porsche. However, both Rachel and Jordan are sure that Adam will vote out Kalia. So they remain discussing which will go. But I'm going to bet it will be Kalia.

If you're looking for the latest Big Brother 13 live feeds update, it's this post, not THIS post. It's Sunday morning and, unlike last Sunday, it's time for my (usually) weekly look back on the week gone by in both words and photographs I've taken along the way. I didn't post last Sunday due to an extended power outage due to Hurricane Irene. My power went out late Saturday night and didn't

Kalia crashes and burns In the beginning of the season, I would never have predicted this final five. Of course, at the beginning, I was thinking Evel Dick would be entertaining me all summer. Instead we have Adam with his metal persona gone standing and weaving while smoking cigarettes. Oh well. Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Whine and Cheese: As I posted earlier, Adam

Rachel reads her HoH letter and DOES NOT CRY. At least after the live show, we have some action for a couple of days before the doldrums set in again. I'm dreading when it's down to two of these hamsters for the last bunch of days. But, that's not now and now actually has stuff going on! Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Krazy Koi: Last night, after the HoH comp ended,

As I get this posted, the feeds are still blocked. I want to thank Joe and Eviction Updates for their tremendous show updates on the blog party post. When I know who won, you'll know. Keep checking back! 10:17 PM ET -- Feeds still blocked. 10:25 PM ET -- Feeds return, still waiting for confirmation on winner. They're all coughing a lot and clearing their throats.

Here in the NYC area, tonight's live eviction show won't be airing until 1:37 AM due to a Jets game. I'll be watching an East Coast feed online. But, since it's hard to watch the show on the computer and update the post on same said computer at the same time, I ask that commenters fill in updates! If you're in the same delay boat as I am, just Google the term "Big Brother east coast feed" and

As exciting as it gets ... all sleep during the HoH lockdown This group is really not entertaining. A hecka lotta nuthin' been goin' down in the house. Thus, I don't have much to say and I'm handing off screen caps from the feeds instead. Shelly is resigned that she'll be leaving tonight and blames it on the one big move she made in the house.

Perhaps they should just shut it down. "Go home. None of you deserve to win this year." Here's what happened today in that Big Brother House of Pain: Rachel is having cramps and has now decided that she's not

I'm still trying to catch up here as my Irene-related power outage set me back. I watched last night's show online today and have been going through Flashbacks on the live feeds. In some ways, I feel I lost a whole lot of nothing, but I can't guarantee I didn't miss something! Here's all I have for you at this point: In today's veto meeting, Rachel used the veto to save herself and Jordan.Adam

My power went out sometime after 1 AM Saturday night (Sunday morning, technically). It just returned about 6 AM today. Irene-related, of course. My street was flooded and closed down until yesterday afternoon with boat rescues being necessary for medical emergencies at the apartments across the street from me. I fared fine with the exception of my power outage. I had cooking gas and running water

She comes to life! Tonight's report is going to be on the short and sweet(?) side. Just a while ago they finally started the PoV comp, delayed several hours due to the heat in California. I plan on posting a bulletin with the winner announcement late tonight, circumstances permitting. Yes, I'm here in New Jersey with Irene bearing down. So far, where I live, it's been quite a bit of rain and

I'm at a loss for words here. I don't know ... things are getting very weird. Whether it's good, bad or production-assisted, I don't know. Here are today's happenings from inside that Big Brother House of Creepers: Jordan looks horrible.

Hmmm ... a long feeds block. They're back to duos? Apparently Rachel and Jordan are on the block and plan on pulling themselves off as a duo. Rachel's calling it the biggest twist of the summer. Adam and Shelly are one duo, Kalia and Porsche the other. They say that BOTH of them (Rachel and Jordan) would come off the block if they win veto. Very odd. But at least they stopped crying. There

A very sad Jordan Now, we all need to remember that this is a game. Sure, it's an important and probably life-changing to some extent game for the hamsters themselves. But it's Big Brother. Betrayals and backstabbing are the norm. Winning competitions or being perceived as a strong competitor puts a target on your back. Yet, when there's an upheaval, there is drama.

Tonight's show won't air here in the NYC viewing area until after the Jets game (which started at 7 PM). So, they're saying 10 PM, but who knows? There are sites online with the east coast feed, so that might work. Anyway, I'm getting this post itself up on time and ask folks to give brief updates if the show is airing on time in your area. Jeff won HoH, Kalia and Porsche are on the block.
