Tonight is it

Oh yes tonight Big Brother alrighty this is awesome and I cannot wait for it and I must say another certain person that resides with me cannot wait either. The jury is still out on paying for live feeds chances are we will not since we can get enough information from the web.

Now to continue the good news, if you recall back in April I went and ranted about my wonderful daytime soaps ending and yes I have to admit I was/am upset about it. Now I am not over it I am still upset HOWEVER, there is good news. Prospect Park a production and media company founded in 2009 has purchased the rights and leased agreements for One Life to Live (OLTL) and All My Children (AMC). What this means is that the shows will be able to stay and keep coming to the fans once their "end" date comes. It will be mostly online and I am hearing some possible internet based TVs should be able to catch them. Yeah I am sadden that they are even moving but the fact is that they are still alive...this is because don't mess with soap fans WE RULE!

Now back to the game of life...

Almost time

As the days get closer to Big Brother time the news and rumors grow. This is actually part of the excitement. I recently took a tour of the new Big Brother house (via video tour ) and it looks very beachy. It's actually decorated to Venice beach so this means that there is bright colors, surfboards, graffiti and oh yes a fortune teller machine. This should be interesting...at least I surely hope it will be.

One of the news flying around is that there will be a duo coming back into the house to compete for the money and CBS has placed a few former HGs as possible duos. I see Jessie the bod is back on the list and I hope not how many times can they get that jerk back in there? The dude is so stuck on himself that he has a hard time walking straight. Although word has it that is a persona he plays and that when one really knows him away from the cameras he is not like that. Sorry this guy walks around kissing himself and body and acts like a total idiot who barely remembers the alphabet and I am suppose to believe he does that on purpose?? Reaslly? Seriously? So I really hope he does not go back in. Another is the Brendon and Rachel or as the BB groupies call them Brenchel. I think I can tolerate him but her voice and laugh can be a bit annoying after a while so I hope not. Dick and Danniele Donato is another on the list and while Dick won first place and Dani won 2nd I am not so sure they could make it a second time. Now another on the list is Dr Will and Boogie aka Chilltown...Really again? Both have won so how in the world could they con a group to keep them in there?

The one thing I do know is that there is something we have not seen yet left to happen and I suspect there may be more then a duo going back in the house because of what we do know already. Here is what we know they have released the names and videos of the 8 houseguests. Yes 8 this is far short of the usual 12-14 players so does this mean we will get 3 sets of duo's going back in? Or another duo such as twins...oh dear will BB try that twin thing again? I don't think it worked out too well last time they did it so yeah lets try it again!

Whatever it is I am getting all excited about it.

Big Brother is right around the corner

Ok so it took Big Brother being days away for me to post. Sorry I actually meant to do it earlier but just never remembered. But July 7th marks the start of our summer house watching sensation Big Brother. No we NOT going to get the Live Feed this year ...well not yet.

Ok so CBS has put out there some interviews with Houseguests plus they state that there will be a "couple" that are going in to try and win the money. So I can only hope its not Brendon and Rachel or Jessie and Natalie. I so hope not!

In the meantime I looked at the videos and here are some impressions of the people I saw interviews on. This is interesting because this is just a first glance 2 minute interview and it will be interesting to see how it changes as the summer starts. So here are my comments/impressions:

Shelly- Not sure how I feel about her but she looks like at one time in her life she was a man. Yeah even her voice sounds manish but she claims she is married with a daughter. Lets see how that goes.

Lawon - Hate him! Oh no no he needs to go and I have not even seen him in there! He reminds me of Marcellas. He claims he will bring fashion sense to big brother because his fashion sense is sick sick sick. Ok I am sick just listening to him.

Keith - Keith is doing what so many do before meeting their fellow HGs he has a plan and knows exactly how everything will work out. According to Keith he plans on aligning with 3 girls who will be called "Keith's Angels" and the 3 girls will do all the dirty work plus he will have a showmance with at least one of them.

Kalia- Is planning on telling lies the whole time. She said she will lie lie lie and go in believing everyone is also telling lies. Ok how far will that work?

Cassi - Like her. Looks like a biker chick. I hope she goes far. Well I hope for now I may change my mind once I see her in action in the house.

Dominic - Seems "ok" a little boring

Adam - Seems nice. Dude needs to shave. He fears his unique personality will get him evicted first.

So there are some impressions. What do you think?

Venting regarding Daytime TV

Ok be warned that this will most likely be a book in itself. It has been a while since I have written and I have a feeling I am going to make up for it right now. Back in around the 1st week of April the devil also known as Brian Frons decided in his wisdom to shut down the 3rd highest rated daytime drama (One Life To Live) and one of the longest running shows on daytime with loyal followers (All My Children). Recently he said that the women of today no longer want to escape in the afternoon oh gee Mr Know It All what do women want? Oh what they want is a Mario Batelli cooking show and Life Style Living show (currently going thru name changes because the one they have SUCKS) focusing on excercise. Hum...so let me get this straight todays women who may or may not be home during the daytime hours want to eat fatty foods and then excercise their brains away because watching a drama on tv is just not what they are into right now? Hum...I suppose the loyal followers for these shows (who BTW has been on for 40+ years) just did not know that is what they wanted. I always thought if I wanted to see a cooking show I would go to oh let me think Food Network? OMG no really there is a Food Network? Get out of town who knew! So yes I am a wee bit upset my shows are leaving. Right now as a daytime soap viewer it is important to keep watching the shows to show that we do support them and I hope Mr Brian Frons has diaherra for as long as One Life To Live and All My Children were on air. Yes I said it so there.

Now this leads to question what is to happen to the daytime emmy awards. Afterall this will leave 4 daytime dramas on the air? If there is one thing I have noticed with awards shows is that when a show is ending their run during awards time they will get nominated and win a ton of awards. It is almost like a pat on the back well done. SO now Daytime Emmy Awards announced their nominations...and come on...what are you all thinking? Ok I think I know what you are thinking, I want to say that they know it is too late for the canned shows so they want to try to focus on the shows that have not been canned -----YET. So with that being said this is just my opinion on what they missed the mark on:

On Outstanding Drama while it was nice to see All My Children and General Hospital nominated One Life to Live had some awesome ground breaking stories that really should of had a nomination.

They also missed the mark on outstanding supporting actors. I am sorry some of the work that the guys on One Life to Live have been doing has been awesome.

I could go on but I decided to spare you all. Needless to say I am very disappointed that schmucho decided to put on reality based shows because they are cheaper to make. I have suggestions for this, I think he missed the mark by cancelling the shows. Here is a thought Mr Frons we know that a majority of viewers watch these shows on DVR and fast forward thru the commercials ( I know I do). So why not incorporate some brand messenging into the show for example while Erica and Jack are in the restaurant deciding if they will marry for the 8th time show Erica (aka Susan Lucci daytime icon) drinking some Lipton Iced Tea? OMG what a freaking concept! Or when Natalie goes to change her son's diaper hum what can we do there - Huggies or Pampers anyone? Do not tell me those companies will not go for that of course they will! Oh no that would be too easy lets instead cancel scripted shows that have been on for 40+ years with loyal followers. Yeah that makes good business sense because everyone knows reality TV Shows will never be cancelled. Can you think of the last reality unscripted show that has been on for 40+ years?

Keeping up

Here we are another day in Paradise. I hear it will be in the 80s again as the rest of the country is enjoying spring. In the meantime my new Avon business is moving nicely along. I am enjoying sampling products. I am happy I did not have invest thousands or hundreds of dollars and I am getting the thrill of testing products. Some yes I know are good I have had them in the past but others are new to me and I am liking this. In the mean time while all this testing is going on the new season of DWTS started and yes I am once again watching it. No need to go over each and every pair lets just say I am once again disappointed in the judges. I am ok with giving critical harsh judgements but provide some constructive feedback for example do not say "Oh that was a train wreck it was horrible you are in trouble." How about some feedback like "Hey look your feet were pointing in the wrong direction and you need to concentrate on your posture." You know something. Oh I am not saying they never say that but it appears they say that to certain celebrities while others get the you suck dude response. So to me it tells me that they know who they want to win or at least advance. I just found the judges, especially Len Goodmen, down right rude and nasty and I think they do it on purpose. I think they like it when people in the audience boo at them. So does that make a good judge? Yeah I agree NO. But will I keep watching..yeah I will. I don't watch the whole 2 second show just because I do not particular care for the fillers (like last night was Chris Brown) I just want to know who is going...oh BTW the first star (if you can call him a star personally I never heard of him) to be kicked off was Mike Catherwood. He is suppose to be some radio DJ. Yeah I was like huh who? The first time I even heard of this guy was a month ago when he entered some contest to guest host on the Regis and Kelly and he won. That was it and now he is considered a Star? Go figure. So who will advance? Stay Tune

Twins be gone Boy stay

So as I sit here and write and think about the last week or so and my new expected arrival I started thinking oh wait I predicted twin girls - this is not good not good at all. Why you ask well because financially it will just kill me. Think about it I spoil my little Princess already I will have to spoil the other two as well and then of course while doing that cannot allow the first Princess to feel neglected. Oh the pressure! Perhaps then it is best to make it a boy and yeah lets just stick to one. I have not told my sister in law this yet I kind of like the look of terror on her face when I mention twin girls. Although she did already tell me my brother said the same thing. Lord help us all if another Princess comes into the fam.

So now here I am putting together ways of making money - I am going to need extra cash with the new arrival and I went into an old favorite - Avon. Years ago I use to purchase their stuff and quite frankly I liked it. To this day I swear Skin So Soft does repel mosquitos while keeping your skin soft and smelling nice. I decided to investigate, and was hoping there was not a large start up cost because well that would count me out. Lucky for me the cost was minimal and no inventory to keep unless I want to. So a sign up here and there on the web and now I am an Official Avon Rep. I will be getting a website soon. I would show it to you now but the not so quality oriented leader of mine decided that even though I spelled my name Dolores that the real spelling was Delores. I mean seriously I am sure she thought I made a mistake. When I brought it up to her attention that the name was misspelled I got the line "Oh I am sorry they misspelled it" Ah yeah ok never mind that before the Avon sign up you replied to a couple of my emails with that incorrect spelling. I decided that any further contact with will be minimal I will simple go above her head or directly to Avon.

If I sound petty well maybe I am but it just makes me mad that I am here all ready to promote and even in the emails I sent her I put in all CAPS - DOLORES like hello you still get it wrong so now I have to wait 10 days until the website is done. Which means I cannot promote the website. Yes I can still sell but not promote. Oh and one more reason not to talk to this person is I have asked her a particular question FOUR times and she has yet to answer it. So yes in my head for now I am DONE with her.

So for now I am taking some online Avon course and I am enjoying them. Learning a lot about their products and I plan on testing a few.

Stay Tune.

Tia ----- Again

Before we get to the title of this post a little Bachelor news since I watch the Bachelor. Ok ah Brad the cad ops I mean Brad made his choice. The final two were one woman named Chantal who from pretty much day one he looked like he connected really well to her. They got along so very well they laughed at the same things. He even said how he felt like he could be himself with her and not have to worry and feel he could tell her anything. He had that nice peace when they were together. Then there was girl number two Emily who at age 19 found herself a pregnant widow and now raising her 5 year old daughter as a single mom. Emily and Brad did get along too but Emily had issues. I say issues because Brad seemed to be frustrated with her more then anything. Heck there was a time when he almost did not give Emily the rose because she kept having doubts and needed constant reassurance. Apparently when Emily signed up for "The Bachelor" it must of not dawned on her that he would be dating other women.. The choice would seem simple doesn't it? Well our ever so clever bachelor picked Emily! Yee pee..

They finally were able to make their first public appearance as a couple because they had to wait 6 weeks until the show ended and well Emily has issues with all those women he was kissing. Really Emily? The show is called the bachelor ..ah what did you think he was going to do just hold hands and sing Kumbayah My Lord? Well their interview together was well ..cold. You could sense the tension her insecurities and constant need for reassurance was like wow way out there. Now as a mom I get it because its not just about you its about your child but come on girl look at the show you signed up for. We learned that in those 6 weeks they did actually break up once but now were back together and I now read that oh my they have broken up - again. Yeah Brad you made a great choice there way to go buddy!

Now on to the great news and things that make you go hummm.. this is happening for a reason. I have my favorite sister in law Nerbey (yes she is my only sister in law). Well Nerbey and my baby bro Albert have 3 kids together. Love my kiddies. Nerbey decided in Dec to get her tubes tied so she can well relax after all the youngest is 7 years old. Well this past week she informs me that I am most likely going to be an aunt again because she has taken 4 pregnancy tests and all have come back positive. I am like wait a minute what happened well apparently there is a 1% chance and of course Fertile Myrtle aka Nerbey is in that one percent chance. So Nerbey went to her doctor who did a blood test and sure enough yesterday she told me yes its official she is pregos. So there you have it I am going to be an aunt aka Tia again!

I suspect a girl...or twins...
