Do not Interrupt the Atomic D-O-N: The Apprentice: Grand Slam Opener: 02-27-06
This Article is written and owned by: Arne
I do not usually write about the apprentice, but after viewing the season opener were “The Donald” comes out fighting and gets tough, I just could not resist!
Last night’s apprentice was an indication that the show was going to have more down and dirty competition then we ever saw on the Apprentice. Already we see the different candidates grouping off and pledging allegiance to each other! However, in the boardroom those allegiances turn into dust, it is more likened to survival of the fittest! Not only do we see these allegiances we see “The Donald”, getting rough and tough in the boardroom.
The show opens and the Donald makes his grand entrance showing what success can buy a person. We have his usual right hand women and man in Caroline and George who lead the candidates in. The Candidates are introduced:
Allie a medical sales manager and Andrea a sticker company owner,
Brent, an attorney and Bryce a homebuilder,
Charmaine, a real estate consultant, and Dan a clothing company owner,
Lee, a business analyst and Lenny, a trading company owner,
Leslie, a realtor and Michael, a management consultant,
Pepi, an attorney and Roxanne, an appellate attorney,
Sean, a recruitment consultant and Stacy, a criminal defence attorney
Summer a restaurant owner and Tammy, a wealth manager,
Tarek, a hi-tech manager, and Theresa, a psychotherapist.

My Response to the Clay Aiken Class Action suit. DUE PROCESS OF LAW LADIES!!!!
This Article is written and owned by: Arne
First, my own perceptions, Clay Aiken is not Gay and the only fraudulent activity going on is that nine ladies want to make some money off of Clay and big money organizations!
I need to ask this, have these Morons lost their minds! They must have very little to do if all they can think of is how they can sue someone to make some quick money!!! This is exactly what their actions tell me!! And I imagine many others!!!
These ladies (and I use the term lightly) actually are going to pursue a class action suit against Clay Aiken. For what? They say they feel they were misled; it was false advertisement of the product ( Clay is a human being not a product) and their investment. Give me a rather large break! Now this is what I was talking about its vermin like this that has created the NEW VICTIMIZATION IN AMERICA! This vermin wants to cash in on a liar’s statement. What is scary is that some lawyers take crap cases like this. You would think that with all that goes on in the world that these people and whatever lawyer they have obtained would be more interested in social issues and social responsibility such as pedophilism! Everyday sexual offenders who rape and cause great harm to very young children are released from western society’s prisons. This includes both United States and Canada! There is no cure for pedophiles that molest children. Why not take up a good cause like this and bring awareness to the grave harm these offenders cause to children and the high-risk offenders who re-offend! Sign petitions for law reform on sexual offenders, specifically the ones that harm young children!!!!

Patrick Hall Gone! Tell me it isn’t true America!!!American Idol Semi-Final Elimination”02-23-2006
This Article is Written and Owned by Arne:
I can understand why Rebecca O’Donahue has been eliminated, she had not performed well. I can see why Bobby Bennett was bid adieu, he had too much fun! and I can even justify why America eliminated Stevie Scott, she was still fluish!I do not understand why Patrick Hall is gone!!! Patrick Hall was an excellent talented singer. Maybe he wasn’t a pretty boy, but he had talent, he had uniqueness, he had it! Apparently he didn’t have enough votes last night! Then to add insult to injury and rubbing the salt in wounds of Patrick Hall fans, we get to see Brenna, yet another week!!!! Another week, of hearing her mouth off, drama queen antics with soap opera value and average talent!!! She is going to quack like a duck, I believe Brenna is a quack! I am comforted in knowing that Taylor Hicks, Elliott Yemin and Sway Penola are still in. I am delighted that Paris, Ayla and Lisa , Kinnick and Katherine are still with us. However the demise of Patick so early I just can’t fathom!

Likeability factor and Some Serious Strong Competition: American Idol
2-21-2006
This Article is written and owned by Arne:
Ladies night proved to be a serious strong competition. I was very impressed with most of the girls tonight and their level of singing talent. However, there were two outliers that were not up to par or speed with the performances that the ladies brought! The judges were better at their feedback, however from the middle to the end, they seemed to struggle with conveying their points of view. The song choices were different and refreshing! We heard renditions of the greats and Icons, Stevie Wonder and Gladys’s Knights, Icon Barbara Streisand. Icon Jennifer Holiday, Heart, Musical Genius Christina Aguilera ,Natalie Merchant, Martina McBride, Josh Groban., Diana Ross, Faith Hill, and Alita Adams.
The show opens and Ryan comes swaggering out! Ryan looks perky, his attire is still drab, I absolutely, without question hated his checker shirt! Perhaps Ryan fans should start up a website called Dress Ryan.com Like the site DressKevin.com that made the news. In this way fans could choose what Ryan would wear when he was hosting. Ryan Thanks!!! Idol viewers for watching the show. ( Glad to see you taking my comments seriously Ryan!!!) Ryan’s open line is, “The judges job is over and now you are in control. Tonight we begin to build the Top 12. Ladies first!
It’s a new level of the competition It’s performance time!!! Twenty-four will become the top twelve and six places are for the girls and here they are!! Ryan introduces the twelve girls performing tonight. The guys (Randy’s Dawg pound) are watching from below and they will perform for you tomorrow. Each week two girls and two guys will be headed home until we reach the top twelve. Ryan then announces and of course the judges are here! He intro’s dumb, dumber and dumbest. We get to see some spirited verbal jousting with the Judges ( I guess they were suppose to be setting the tone!!!! Of the show.) Ryan then asks Simon, How he reacts to the criticism. Simon being the elusive he man he wants us to believe him to be, responds “I haven’t had any”.
Ryan looks at him a little fazed and prods “you haven’t been harsh?”. Simon replies, I was defending you! So there we have it, Simon is in denial! It’s not surprising if you ask me. Simon knows he has been criticized for his razor sharp tongue, he was booed tonight and will continue to be booed. Yet, it eludes dumbest that he has been criticized. Ryan moves on and relates to us that Paula is tougher, I would have to agree with that, she was not as lenient as she has been in the past, but she shows signs of reverting back to her old form. Ryan then asks Randy Jackson who he thinks will be American Idol. I really felt that this was an unfair question to ask at the beginning of semi-finals to Randy( for putting him on the spot) and for the competitors. Of course dumber ( Randy) responded that he thought a guy would win it. Yes, Yes we always have to start the season with trying to balance out gender. A girl won it last year, so a guy absolutely has to win this year! Really why bother to have females in the competition if you want a guy to win!

Kiss Me Your Through! The semi final 24 are chosen: American Idol 2-15-2006:
This is article is written and owned by Arne:
The show opens and Ryan goes through his usual dramatic summery of the events, the intensity, the drama! Ryan announces to us in a most stark tone , “that it takes serious courage for the competitors to hold it together today! You know Ryan your monologue on strength, courage and survival does not help the competitors when they are anxiously waiting!
We saw a series of competitors get rejected with no, no, no, no, no, sorry, thank-you , it was nice meeting you, be proud, congratulations for coming this far! According to the Judges it had to be an unanimous decision, which means that all three had to agree. At least that is what Crystal Stark was told, yet, as the show proceeds, at least one person gets to the semi-final without it being an unanimous decision? There seems to be some confusion with what dumb, dumber and dumbest related to us. It is either unanimous for everyone or it is not!

All that Bling,Bling, Shine On and Drama Queen’s- Hollywood Group Round- 02-14-06:
This Article is written and owned by: Arne
The show opens and Ryan draws up all his zeal and strength to characterize the drama of the group round. Ryan quipped in his darkest melodramatic tone. “ It has been an intense week and only the strong will survive!” When Ryan Seacrest made this claim, I thought that I was watching a military boot camp instead of American Idol!
In my opinion it was a night of Drama Queen’s, crying and whining!
We then fast forward to one competitor (sorry didn’t catch her name) saying she was exhausted, thirsty and hungry. Where’s dinner she asks! Dammed if I know, KFC anyone? Then we are rewinded back to Mr. Drama, Searcrest( I notice we only saw Ryan from the waist up) I was wondering if Ryan had holes in his drawers! Ryan exclaims, “ There have been personality clashes and arguments over the chorography, we then zoom in and see Marcie crying! It’s two am and some of the competitors head to bed while others stay up and rehearse. Oh the intensity of it all!

The Heat is on! Hollywood Auditions Recap:American Idol: 02-10-2006:
Article is written and owned by: Arne
After more boring auditions then I cared to write about, we finally get to Hollywood. For the exception of a few familiar names we get to see who the judges have given a chance to and yes we got to see hollering, whooping, yahooing, Dave. The first and second day of Hollywood gave us joy, happiness, upset, tears, and anger with the competitors. We saw Paula becoming more of a hard liner for a change, although she attached herself to yet another male that she is a fan of again!, this year! I am sure before the season is over we will see Paula weeping and drooling over yet another young man, telling him she loves them ! The best chuckle the home viewers could get is seeing Simon’s reaction to what he considered bad talent. He looked puzzled, pissed, disgruntled, annoyed, confused ,ready to throw something and even relieved as he heard some of the auditions. We heard all the excuses in the world to why some of the competitors did lousy when they sang, much to my amusement.
The show opens and we see all of the contestants making their way to Hollywood, Ryan’s narrating was dramatic on how the competitors got to Hollywood. There were contestants that were nervous and contestants that were very self assured that they were going to make it to the end. Ryan introduced the ever so elegant Debra Byrd and someone new for the Pianist in Michael Orland. We glimpsed the background singers who were going to back up the competitors. Ryan dramatically advised us to imagine travelling all the way to Hollywood, sing one song and then go home! I thought when Ryan said this that Simon may have been so fed up that he gave everyone the bum’s rush and sent everyone home!

Just watched the first episode pf Survivor Panama Exile Island last night and I wanted to say I enjoyed watching it and feel it is on track to be another great season!
The 4 groups of Survivors could have been a bungle but it seems to work as the 3 teams that win get imnmunity/reward and the losing team either gets an exile or sends someone home.
