Today's Instant Reactions

'Glee' - Episode 2.02

- Love the 'Glee' 'membersproject.com/glee' ad (link to the ad here). It was definitely written by the show's writers because Sue is witty and rocks as usual! There is a second ad about recycling batteries, etc., where Britanny shines by being, well, Britanny: "I don't know what recycling is but I know what bicycling is!"

'Hell's Kitchen' - Episodes 8.03/8.04

- I would like Ramsay and his assistant chefs to teach some techniques to the 'Hell's Kitchen' contestants, other than during challenges, so that they stop sending raw/burnt/salty/etc. food over and over again. Plus, it would give the show some positive spin to counter balance Ramsay's F**k, no?

- Nice twist Ramsay made at the end of the first hour of 'Hell's Kitchen.' Raj definitely needed to go home because of his negative attitude and his not-so-stellar cooking skills. WTF? at Ramsay not firing Sabrina in the second hour. She is terrible and has a nasty behavior that is counterproductive. She CAN'T lead a kitchen with such a self-centered and hellish attitude. One thing is certain, Sabrina brings the 'hell' in 'Hell's Kitchen.'

'Survivor' - Episode 21.03

- WTF? at Marty for telling his tribemates he got the immunity idol and wanting to share it with everyone! He clearly has not watched 'Survivor' before because he would know to keep it a secret, otherwise it could bite you in the behind quite hard when you need the idol the most.

- Great power move to get Jimmy out. I doubt he could have won since 1) he said he didn't want to win, 2) people know he made big bucks as a coach, 3) he admitted he is one of the weakest players. However, Jimmy was a leader and could have gone far.

'Australia's Next Top Model' Fail

This video is priceless and has been an instant international hit! The host of 'Australia's Next Top Model' announces the wrong (!) winner!!! This shows you how wrong live TV can go especially if the voting for the winner is also done live!

Today's TV News

Here are some of the TV news of the day:

- Kaley Cuoco Drops Big Banging Relationship Bomb - I didn't see this one coming but it's not totally surprising considering the cast works with each other for countless hours!

- Glee-Dux: Everything You Need to Know About the Britney Spears Episode—and What Lies Ahead! - I didn't care much for the Britney Spears episodes but LOVED Heather Morris' performances. Britanny is right, she needs more solos!

- ‘Mad Men’s Sally Draper Not Allowed to Watch Show - Considering the actress' age and the show's storylines, it's not surprising her parents won't allow her to watch.

- First Pic: Who Nabs the Power Seat at ‘Idol’ Judges Table? - I haven't watched 'Idol' past hell week in years. I don't think I will this upcoming season either. However, count me in to watch how this new trio of judges fare when giving feedback. I hope they call it as they see it and not try to be too nice.

- Jennifer Love Hewitt on 'Law & Order: SVU': Wow

- BONES’ Katheryn Winnick: Hannah Truly Does Love Booth - Are you willing to give Hannah a chance? I am as she seems to make Booth happy which is more than what Brennan is ready to do right now.

- Susan Lucci Returns to All My Children — Just in Time for a Love Triangle

- Michael Bolton: 'Dancing With the Stars' Judge Should Apologize (VIDEO)

Pondering resurrecting this blog

Good day everyone!

I'm pondering resurrecting this blog to post instant reactions when I watch TV, share news, etc. In the coming days, I'll be testing some potential ideas for the blog. If you have any ideas for me, please share.

You can follow me on Twitter at @icarreau where I already post tidbits about TV.
