Survivor Micronesia: I’m in Such a Hot Pickle!
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Prime Time, Reality, CBS, Survivor, Editorial, Features,
For the first few weeks of Survivor: Micronesia, there was an obvious division between the Fans and Favorites. Later, things started getting murky when members were switched and alliances stretched out. This week, the two tribes finally merged and a whole new level of intensity entered the game.
With the competitors now fighting for individual immunity, this episode turned out to be quite an emotional roller coaster for those watching at home. In Week 9, one of the funniest scenes in Survivor history was followed up by one of the most cringe-inducing moments ever.

American Idol: What Ramiele Had to Say
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Music, Prime Time, Reality, FOX, American Idol, Gossip,
Diminutive American Idol contestant Ramiele Malubay displayed more than the usual elimination emotion, but this endearing contestant will be remembered for more than her tearful exit. What did Ramiele have to say about her exit, her future plans, and her relationships with fellow Idols?
First things first, Malubay will do the Idol tour this summer. But when that’s all over, Ramiele plans to work toward her own career goals (possibly going to the Philippines to sing) and says she will move in with another AI contestant when the whole dog-and-pony show is over.

Survivor Micronesia: Lost Puppy Dog
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Prime Time, Reality, CBS, Survivor, Editorial, Features,
When we last left Survivor: Micronesia, the Malakal tribe was having a hard time winning any of the Immunity Challenges, camp life at Airai was horrible, the Fans were getting picked off one-by-one and Ami kept confusing her fellow tribe mates (and the audience) with her constant waffling. Let me assure you, not much changed this week.
After knocking off Tracy at the last Tribal Council, Erik – and surprisingly, Ozzy – were both feeling a bit unsettled. Since he was the only Fan remaining at Malakal, the ice cream man figured he had a very short shelf life in the competition. Meanwhile, Ozzy was feeling incredibly frustrated by the recent turn of events. Since Tracy nastily called him the ‘leader’ of their group (a title he refused to accept), he knew that he might now have a large target on his back.

American Idol: Another One Bites the Dust
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Music, Prime Time, Reality, FOX, American Idol, Editorial,
The American Idol contestants were all smiles as they performed the Dolly Parton hit “9 to 5,” but tensions seethed just below the surface as this group was quickly shuffled backstage to await their respective fates. The routine was peppy and poppy, with the singers gathering around the judges’ island to finish the number. Joy was short-lived, however, as attentions quickly turned to talk of elimination.
Idol very cleverly turns information which might take less than a minute to deliver (“hey, by the way, you just got kicked off the show”) into an hour-long spectacle replete with stage performances, video clips, and of course the endless cross-promotions. Elimination action is always very cleverly placed, little tidbits leading up to what is supposed to be a dramatic end. Were you shocked?

Gone but Not Forgotten: Eliminated American Idol Speaks Out
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Music, Prime Time, Reality, FOX, American Idol,
David Hernandez, who impressed judges Paula Abdul and Randy Jackson early in the season, has been talked about more for his somewhat shady past than his singing - but that’s generally how it goes with American Idol scandal. The stripper-turned-reality contestant was the first to leave the Top 12, but many attribute this more to bad press than bad singing.

American Idol’s Amanda Overmyer: A Long and Winding Road
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Music, Prime Time, Reality, FOX, American Idol,
I immediately adored Amanda Overmyer. When she started to sing her first note during her audition, I hoped right away that she would get a golden ticket. Not only did Overmyer win this much-coveted prize, but she sailed through Hollywood Week and managed to out-last thirteen of the Top 24 American Idol contestants. And listen, that ain’t bad.

American Idol: Another Post-Beatles Elimination
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Music, Prime Time, Reality, FOX, American Idol, Editorial,
The second post-Beatles elimination night on American Idol began with the usual name-dropping, as host Ryan Seacrest named such megastars as Dolly Parton, Mariah Carey, Andrew Lloyd Weber and Neil Diamond - all of whom are slated to be mentors during the upcoming weeks. The song-writing contest was touted again, where anyone and everyone can submit a tune to be sung during the season finale. The Top 11 Idols then launched into a Beatles medley, including “While My Guitar Gently Weeps,” and “Here, There and Everywhere” in the mishmash.

Survivor Micronesia: Like a Wide-Eyed Kid in the Candy Store!
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Prime Time, Reality, CBS, Survivor, Editorial, Features,
On tonight’s episode of Survivor: Micronesia, the castaways were really starting to feel the effects of their long stay on the island. After over two weeks in the game, the survivors were starting to grate on each other’s nerves. The miserable weather was also taking a toll on their psyches. Who was able to power through – and who just had to throw up their arms and quit?
Frustrated by the lack of eggs they were receiving, a hungry Tracy suggested killing off one of Malakal’s three resident chickens. If they weren’t going to put out, she was going to cut them up. Ozzy, knowing that he could always fish for more food, thought that this was a ridiculous idea. The birds were still producing, just not as many as she would like. Why would she get rid of a renewable source? Ozzy’s bossiness, of course, frustrated underdog Tracy because he was acting like a “kingpin”. Not only was he the retriever of the food, he was also the decision-maker on when they would eat it as well.

Survivor Micronesia: It Hit Everyone Pretty Hard!
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Prime Time, Reality, CBS, Survivor, Editorial, Features,
Tonight’s episode of Survivor: Micronesia really gave us an idea of how the game can take a toll on competitors physically. It also shone a light on the survivors’ true characters. How badly did they want to win the million dollars? What were their breaking points? How fairly did they like to see their fellow challengers treated?
Although most of the Malakal tribal members were happy with Joel’s elimination, Erik was left stunned by the events at Tribal Council. He finally realized that the Favorites were not ones to be trusted and knew that it was important to make a move soon. Even though she was integral in the firefighter’s dismissal, Tracy was still bothered by her status in the game. Keeping Chet around really didn’t help with the numbers; the Fans were still down 3 to 4.
