Now that he's going to be free from Kate, he's looking for a date. Didn't mean for that to rhyme.<br /><br />The funniest part is the screen name they give Jon.

Ironically, I liked <em>The Ex-List</em> based on the screener I reviewed last summer, so go figure. Sometimes a preview can inform you about a show's potential and sometimes it's just the best it'll ever be. <br /><br />CBS has shared previews for <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/05/20/the-upfronts-cbs/">the new season</a> and we've had a chance to take a look. There are star vehicles for Jenna Elfman, Alex O'Loughlin and Julianna Margulies, which would seem logical based on the success of Simon Baker as <em>The Mentalist</em>. CBS is counting on familiar, popular TV stars to win over audiences. Will the strategy work? It's probably too soon to tell.<p><a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/07/02/tv-squad-previews-cbss-new-shows/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>TV Squad previews CBS's new shows</em></a></p><p style="clear: both; padding: 8px 0 0 0; height: 2px; font-size: 1px; border: 0; margin: 0; padding: 0;">&nbsp;</p><p><a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/07/02/tv-squad-previews-cbss-new-shows/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent link to this entry">Permalink</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/forward/19083249/" title="Send this entry to a friend via email">Email this</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/07/02/tv-squad-previews-cbss-new-shows/#comments" title="View reader comments on this entry">Comments</a></p>]]></description><category>Accidentally on Purpose</category><category>AccidentallyOnPurpose</category><category>Alex OLoughlin</category><category>AlexOloughlin</category><category>CBS</category><category>Chris Noth</category><category>ChrisNoth</category><category>Christine Baranski</category><category>ChristineBaranski</category><category>featured</category><category>Jenna Elfman</category><category>JennaElfman</category><category>Julianna Margulies</category><category>JuliannaMargulies</category><category>previews 2009</category><category>Previews2009</category><category>Simon Baker</category><category>SimonBaker</category><category>star vehicle</category><category>StarVehicle</category><category>The Good Wife</category><category>The Mentalist</category><category>TheGoodWife</category><category>TheMentalist</category><category>Three Rivers</category><category>ThreeRivers</category><category>Undercover Boss</category><category>UndercoverBoss</category><category>upfronts</category><dc:creator>Allison Waldman</dc:creator><pubDate>Thu, 02 Jul 2009 14:00:00 EST</pubDate></item><item><title>What You Missed Last Night: Spit and tacos on The Real World</title><link>http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/07/02/what-you-missed-last-night-spit-and-tacos-on-the-real-world/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/07/02/what-you-missed-last-night-spit-and-tacos-on-the-real-world/</guid><comments>http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/07/02/what-you-missed-last-night-spit-and-tacos-on-the-real-world/#comments</comments><description><![CDATA[<p>Filed under: <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/reality/" rel="tag">Other Reality Shows</a>, <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/watercooler-talk/" rel="tag">Watercooler Talk</a></p><img width="425" vspace="4" hspace="4" height="255" border="0" align="top" alt="Real World Cancun" src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.tvsquad.com/media/2009/07/realworldspit.jpg" /><br />And I should add that you should be grateful that you missed this last night.

Or maybe just fortune. <br /><br />This could actually be a fun show, sort of<em> The Amazing Race</em> meets <em>Family Double Dare</em>. You know there's going to be families to hate and families to love. Maybe they'll have a challenge where they tie a dog to the bumper and have to keep him alive on the drive to the next state. It starts July 7.

And this isn't one of those deals where one show is put in place of another show but that other show is rescheduled to another night during the week, maybe in the slot of the first show. No, <em>Top Chef Masters</em> won't be seen at all this week (except for reruns of previous episodes, of course). <br /><br />Fans will have to wait until next week for the next new episode. (And if you're wondering what's on tomorrow night at 10 in the regular time slot for <em>The Fashion Show</em>, it's a repeat of tonight's episode.)<br /><br />Oh well. I'm not watching <em>The Fashion Show</em> so I guess I'll catch <em>The Philanthropist</em>.<p style="clear: both; padding: 8px 0 0 0; height: 2px; font-size: 1px; border: 0; margin: 0; padding: 0;">&nbsp;</p><p><a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/07/01/do-you-like-top-chef-masters-tough/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent link to this entry">Permalink</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/forward/19083819/" title="Send this entry to a friend via email">Email this</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/07/01/do-you-like-top-chef-masters-tough/#comments" title="View reader comments on this entry">Comments</a></p>]]></description><category>bravo</category><category>chefs</category><category>cooking</category><category>food</category><category>gael greene</category><category>isaac mizrahi</category><category>kelly choi</category><category>the fashion show</category><category>top chef masters</category><category>wednesday</category><dc:creator>Bob Sassone</dc:creator><pubDate>Wed, 01 Jul 2009 15:01:00 EST</pubDate></item><item><title>The Neighborhood is going to go there on CBS starting August 9</title><link>http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/06/30/the-neighborhood-is-going-to-go-there-on-cbs-starting-august-9/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/06/30/the-neighborhood-is-going-to-go-there-on-cbs-starting-august-9/</guid><comments>http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/06/30/the-neighborhood-is-going-to-go-there-on-cbs-starting-august-9/#comments</comments><description><![CDATA[<p>Filed under: <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/reality/" rel="tag">Other Reality Shows</a></p><img width="200" vspace="4" hspace="4" height="182" border="0" align="right" alt="CBS logo" src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.tvsquad.com/media/2009/06/cbs_logo.jpg" />I keep hearing about these summer shows coming up that I didn't even know existed. Like this one. It's a new reality show from Mike Fleiss (<em>The Bachelor</em>, etc) called <a href="http://www.variety.com/article/VR1118005501.html?categoryid=14&amp;cs=1&amp;nid=2565"><em>There Goes The Neighborhood</em></a>. They actually put up a twenty foot wall around a neighborhood in Atlanta, GA and cut off all of the residents from the outside world completely (though I wonder if it's really completely or just enough-to-play-the-game completely). The residents will have to interact with each other more than they probably have in the past and will also try to win money and prizes.<br /><br />This could be an interesting experiment or a reality show-themed episode of <em>The Twilight Zone</em>: "Who Wants To Be A Monster On Maple Street?"<p style="clear: both; padding: 8px 0 0 0; height: 2px; font-size: 1px; border: 0; margin: 0; padding: 0;">&nbsp;</p><p><a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/06/30/the-neighborhood-is-going-to-go-there-on-cbs-starting-august-9/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent link to this entry">Permalink</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/forward/19082950/" title="Send this entry to a friend via email">Email this</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/06/30/the-neighborhood-is-going-to-go-there-on-cbs-starting-august-9/#comments" title="View reader comments on this entry">Comments</a></p>]]></description><category>atlanta</category><category>cbs reality show</category><category>mike fleiss</category><category>neighbors</category><category>there goes the neighborhood</category><dc:creator>Bob Sassone</dc:creator><pubDate>Tue, 30 Jun 2009 18:00:00 EST</pubDate></item><item><title>What should happen to Pitchmen now?</title><link>http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/06/30/what-should-happen-to-pitchmen-now/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/06/30/what-should-happen-to-pitchmen-now/</guid><comments>http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/06/30/what-should-happen-to-pitchmen-now/#comments</comments><description><![CDATA[<p>Filed under: <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/reality/" rel="tag">Other Reality Shows</a>, <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/celebrities/" rel="tag">Celebrities</a></p><img width="250" vspace="4" hspace="4" height="181" border="0" align="right" alt="Pitchmen" src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.tvsquad.com/media/2009/06/pitchmenmayssullivan.jpg" />The season finale of Discovery Channel's <em>Pitchmen</em> airs tomorrow night at 10PM (after a day-long marathon of the show).

Our goal is to do the very best for our children and that will be done as privately as possible."<br /><br />They've even gone so far as to file their divorce in a court that will <a href="http://www.kansascity.com/402/story/1274245.html">keep their records sealed</a>. Unfortunately, it all feels like a bunch of "too little too late" moves. If they're trying to protect the children, why did Kate and Jon spend the last four months talking to magazines like <a href="http://www.people.com/people/article/0,,20286975,00.html"><em>People</em></a> for months on end? Why did they <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/06/22/jon-and-kates-special-announcement-isnt-a-big-surprise/">announce their split</a> in front of 10.6 million gawkers (including me)? Why in the hell did they even start their show to begin with?<p><a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/06/30/jon-and-kate-stop-talking-to-the-media-about-five-years-too-lat/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>Jon and Kate stop talking to the media, about five years too late (UPDATE)</em></a></p><p style="clear: both; padding: 8px 0 0 0; height: 2px; font-size: 1px; border: 0; margin: 0; padding: 0;">&nbsp;</p><p><a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/06/30/jon-and-kate-stop-talking-to-the-media-about-five-years-too-lat/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent link to this entry">Permalink</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/forward/19082570/" title="Send this entry to a friend via email">Email this</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/06/30/jon-and-kate-stop-talking-to-the-media-about-five-years-too-lat/#comments" title="View reader comments on this entry">Comments</a></p>]]></description><category>divorce</category><category>jon and kate</category><category>jon and kate gosselin</category><category>jon and kate plus 8</category><category>JonAndKate</category><category>JonAndKateGosselin</category><category>JonAndKatePlus8</category><category>media silence</category><category>MediaSilence</category><category>sealed</category><category>two years apart</category><category>TwoYearsApart</category><dc:creator>Joel Keller</dc:creator><pubDate>Tue, 30 Jun 2009 13:02:00 EST</pubDate></item><item><title>VH1 keeps tarnishing my cherished celebrity memories</title><link>http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/06/30/vh1-keeps-tarnishing-my-cherished-celebrity-memories/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/06/30/vh1-keeps-tarnishing-my-cherished-celebrity-memories/</guid><comments>http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/06/30/vh1-keeps-tarnishing-my-cherished-celebrity-memories/#comments</comments><description><![CDATA[<p>Filed under: <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/reality/" rel="tag">Other Reality Shows</a>, <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/celebrities/" rel="tag">Celebrities</a>, <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/casting/" rel="tag">Casting</a>, <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/celebreality/" rel="tag">Celebreality</a></p><img hspace="4" height="198" border="0" align="right" width="200" vspace="4" src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.tvsquad.com/media/2009/06/chilli_090629.jpg" thomas="" chilli="" alt="Rozanda " />Salt-N-Pepa and TLC. Two of the most significant and important female R&amp;B groups of the past 25 years. Why couldn't it have just stayed that way? No, VH1 just had to drag members from both groups into their sick "looking for love" reality world. That's right, <a href="http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20090630/tv_nm/us_vh1">Pepa and Chilli are looking for love, on VH1</a> with a camera crew and eight half-hour episodes. Somehow I have a hard time imagining either of these women having a hard time picking up guys.<br /><br />Can I just say to all the other celebrities out there who are looking at this as a good thing, just stop right there. Do you think people are respecting Bret Michaels for his music these days? He's more famous for <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/06/08/bret-michaels-loses-one-round-fight-with-tony-awards-set/">whacking his head on a stage</a>. If the music dries up down the road, I don't want to see Beyonc&eacute; and Justin Timberlake hawking themselves all over VH1 to try and find love. Not to mention: have they seen the kind of people these reality shows find for you to fall in love with?<p><a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/06/30/vh1-keeps-tarnishing-my-cherished-celebrity-memories/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>VH1 keeps tarnishing my cherished celebrity memories</em></a></p><p style="clear: both; padding: 8px 0 0 0; height: 2px; font-size: 1px; border: 0; margin: 0; padding: 0;">&nbsp;</p><p><a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/06/30/vh1-keeps-tarnishing-my-cherished-celebrity-memories/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent link to this entry">Permalink</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/forward/19082081/" title="Send this entry to a friend via email">Email this</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/06/30/vh1-keeps-tarnishing-my-cherished-celebrity-memories/#comments" title="View reader comments on this entry">Comments</a></p>]]></description><category>chilli</category><category>pepa</category><category>rozanda thomas</category><category>RozandaThomas</category><category>sandra denton</category><category>SandraDenton</category><category>vh1</category><dc:creator>Jason Hughes</dc:creator><pubDate>Tue, 30 Jun 2009 09:02:00 EST</pubDate></item><item><title>SYTYCD trying to pull together a Michael Jackson tribute special</title><link>http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/06/29/sytycd-trying-to-pull-together-a-michael-jackson-tribute-special/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/06/29/sytycd-trying-to-pull-together-a-michael-jackson-tribute-special/</guid><comments>http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/06/29/sytycd-trying-to-pull-together-a-michael-jackson-tribute-special/#comments</comments><description><![CDATA[<p>Filed under: <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/reality/" rel="tag">Other Reality Shows</a>, <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/oped/" rel="tag">OpEd</a>, <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/so-you-think-you-can-dance/" rel="tag">So You Think You Can Dance</a></p><img hspace="4" border="0" align="right" vspace="4" alt="Nigel Lythgoe" src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.tvsquad.com/media/2009/06/nigel_lythgoe_090629.jpg" />Don't look for it this week. As Nigel says, these things take time. At least they should take time. I'm glad <em><a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/So-You-Think-You-Can-Dance/">So You Think You Can Dance</a></em> is <a href="http://www.realityblurred.com/realitytv/archives/so_you_think_you_can_dance/2009_Jun_29_michael_jackson_tribute">trying to put together a Michael Jackson tribute</a> special. I'm even more glad that executive producer Nigel Lythgoe is trying to take the time to do this right. While everyone seems to be trying to throw something together right away, Lythgoe says that it'll happen if and when it happens. Plus, I'd sure rather see a <em>SYTYCD</em> tribute than tonight's <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/06/26/fox-offering-up-a-bizarre-mj-tribute-monday-a-repeat-of-america/">re-airing of the MJ <em>American Idol</em> episode</a>.<br /><br />The more cynical among us may see it as a chance to cash in on the death of the King of Pop, but considering Jackson's significance into the world of popular dance, it makes perfect sense. Lythgoe's even trying to pull in Paula Abdul to help choreograph some aspect of it. I wouldn't mind seeing some synergy between <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/american-idol/"><em>American Idol</em></a> and <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/tag/SoYouThinkYouCanDance/"><em>So You Think You Can Dance</em></a>, considering that Fox is setting them up to air in opposite half-seasons; <em>Dance</em> in the fall, and <em>Idol</em> after Christmas.<p><a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/06/29/sytycd-trying-to-pull-together-a-michael-jackson-tribute-special/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>SYTYCD trying to pull together a Michael Jackson tribute special</em></a></p><p style="clear: both; padding: 8px 0 0 0; height: 2px; font-size: 1px; border: 0; margin: 0; padding: 0;">&nbsp;</p><p><a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/06/29/sytycd-trying-to-pull-together-a-michael-jackson-tribute-special/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent link to this entry">Permalink</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/forward/19081841/" title="Send this entry to a friend via email">Email this</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/06/29/sytycd-trying-to-pull-together-a-michael-jackson-tribute-special/#comments" title="View reader comments on this entry">Comments</a></p>]]></description><category>american idol</category><category>AmericanIdol</category><category>michael jackson tribute</category><category>MichaelJacksonTribute</category><category>mj</category><category>nigel lythgoe</category><category>NigelLythgoe</category><category>paula abdul</category><category>PaulaAbdul</category><category>so you think you can dance</category><category>SoYouThinkYouCanDance</category><category>sytycd</category><dc:creator>Jason Hughes</dc:creator><pubDate>Mon, 29 Jun 2009 20:01:00 EST</pubDate></item><item><title>Remembering Michael Jackson on America's Best Dance Crew</title><link>http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/06/26/remembering-michael-jackson-on-americas-best-dance-crew/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/06/26/remembering-michael-jackson-on-americas-best-dance-crew/</guid><comments>http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/06/26/remembering-michael-jackson-on-americas-best-dance-crew/#comments</comments><description><![CDATA[<p>Filed under: <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/reality/" rel="tag">Other Reality Shows</a>, <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/oped/" rel="tag">OpEd</a></p><img hspace="4" border="0" align="top" vspace="4" alt="Fysh N Chicks reinterepret Michael Jackson." src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.tvsquad.com/media/2009/06/fyshnchicks.jpg" /><br />A year ago I was enthralled by MTV's <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/tag/americas+best+dance+crew/"><em>America's Best Dance Crew</em></a>. It was a concept that actually fit MTV: dancing to music which was often influenced by <em>music videos</em>. For episode five of the first season, Mario Lopez announced Michael Jackson week. I cringed because I knew that the crews were going to have to use things like the moonwalk and the zombie "Thriller" moves. <br /><br />The contestants were celebrating the 25th anniversary release of <em>Thriller</em>. Luckily the crews didn't have to use the horrible remixes that were added to the rerelease. When the episode ended, I was happily surprised.<p><a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/06/26/remembering-michael-jackson-on-americas-best-dance-crew/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>Remembering Michael Jackson on America's Best Dance Crew</em></a></p><p style="clear: both; padding: 8px 0 0 0; height: 2px; font-size: 1px; border: 0; margin: 0; padding: 0;">&nbsp;</p><p><a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/06/26/remembering-michael-jackson-on-americas-best-dance-crew/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent link to this entry">Permalink</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/forward/19079448/" title="Send this entry to a friend via email">Email this</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/06/26/remembering-michael-jackson-on-americas-best-dance-crew/#comments" title="View reader comments on this entry">Comments</a></p>]]></description><category>ABDC</category><category>americas best dance crew</category><category>AmericasBestDanceCrew</category><category>jabbawockeez</category><category>michael jackson</category><category>MichaelJackson</category><category>MTV</category><dc:creator>Michael Pascua</dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 26 Jun 2009 15:29:00 EST</pubDate></item><item><title>Reality shows for people who hate reality shows</title><link>http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/06/26/reality-shows-for-people-who-hate-reality-shows/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/06/26/reality-shows-for-people-who-hate-reality-shows/</guid><comments>http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/06/26/reality-shows-for-people-who-hate-reality-shows/#comments</comments><description><![CDATA[<p>Filed under: <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/reality/" rel="tag">Other Reality Shows</a>, <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/oped/" rel="tag">OpEd</a>, <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/the-amazing-race/" rel="tag">The Amazing Race</a></p><img hspace="4" height="155" border="0" align="right" width="200" vspace="4" alt="So You Think You Can Dance" src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.tvsquad.com/media/2009/06/so_you_think_you_can_dance.jpg" />I'm not a fan of reality shows. I know that's not a bold statement to make, and that reality shows are a fairly easy target. But I think they're boring after the first episode, for the most part. You pretty much know how it goes from there. Which one of the needy, self-esteem deficient bachelorettes the arrogant bachelor ends up with doesn't interest me (nor the opposite - which arrogant idiot catches the fancy of the bachelorette). Talent shows are usually just as bad, preying on their contestants' desperate need for recognition, and with wildly erratic and cynical judging.<br /><br />So it's a surprise to me that there are two reality shows I actually do enjoy. There is <a href="http://www.cbs.com/primetime/amazing_race/"><span style="font-style: italic;">The Amazing Race</span></a> on CBS, which is currently in between seasons, and <a href="http://www.fox.com/dance/"><span style="font-style: italic;">So You Think You Can Dance</span></a>, which is in the beginning third on Fox. Generally, I don't feel stupid watching these two shows. I don't feel like I'm wasting my time. In fact, every once in a while, I feel like I'm learning something.<p><a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/06/26/reality-shows-for-people-who-hate-reality-shows/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>Reality shows for people who hate reality shows</em></a></p><p style="clear: both; padding: 8px 0 0 0; height: 2px; font-size: 1px; border: 0; margin: 0; padding: 0;">&nbsp;</p><p><a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/06/26/reality-shows-for-people-who-hate-reality-shows/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent link to this entry">Permalink</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/forward/19078520/" title="Send this entry to a friend via email">Email this</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/06/26/reality-shows-for-people-who-hate-reality-shows/#comments" title="View reader comments on this entry">Comments</a></p>]]></description><category>amazing race</category><category>AmazingRace</category><category>reality shows</category><category>RealityShows</category><category>so you think you can dance</category><category>SoYouThinkYouCanDance</category><dc:creator>Nick Zaino</dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 26 Jun 2009 13:04:00 EST</pubDate></item><item><title>Will winning I'm A Celebrity kill Lou Diamond Phillips' career?</title><link>http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/06/26/will-winning-im-a-celebrity-kill-lou-diamond-phillips-career/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/06/26/will-winning-im-a-celebrity-kill-lou-diamond-phillips-career/</guid><comments>http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/06/26/will-winning-im-a-celebrity-kill-lou-diamond-phillips-career/#comments</comments><description><![CDATA[<p>Filed under: <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/reality/" rel="tag">Other Reality Shows</a>, <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/programming/" rel="tag">Programming</a>, <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/oped/" rel="tag">OpEd</a>, <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/celebrities/" rel="tag">Celebrities</a></p><img hspace="4" height="148" border="0" align="right" width="200" vspace="4" alt="Lou Diamond Phillips gives up some of his dignity." src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.tvsquad.com/media/2009/06/loudiamond.jpg" />All is well with the world: Lou Diamond Phillips won <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/tag/im+a+celebrity+get+me+out+of+here/"><span style="font-style: italic;">I'm A Celebrity, Get Me Out of Here!</span></a> He's the only contestant out there that deserves to be called a "celebrity."<br /><br />Why did Lou Diamond Philips pick a show that anyone could see was going to be a train wreck?

He may be a little aged now, but he still gets parts and plays them well. If he did the show for his charity (I love him for supporting <a href="http://www.arthasheart.org/">Art has Heart</a>), he probably agreed because he knew he had the most celebrity and probably was the most sane person out there.<p><a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/06/26/will-winning-im-a-celebrity-kill-lou-diamond-phillips-career/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>Will winning I'm A Celebrity kill Lou Diamond Phillips' career?</em></a></p><p style="clear: both; padding: 8px 0 0 0; height: 2px; font-size: 1px; border: 0; margin: 0; padding: 0;">&nbsp;</p><p><a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/06/26/will-winning-im-a-celebrity-kill-lou-diamond-phillips-career/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent link to this entry">Permalink</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/forward/19078217/" title="Send this entry to a friend via email">Email this</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/06/26/will-winning-im-a-celebrity-kill-lou-diamond-phillips-career/#comments" title="View reader comments on this entry">Comments</a></p>]]></description><category>im a celebrity get me out of here</category><category>ImACelebrityGetMeOutOfHere</category><category>lou diamond phillips</category><category>LouDiamondPhillips</category><category>nbc</category><category>reality tv</category><category>RealityTv</category><dc:creator>Michael Pascua</dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 26 Jun 2009 09:03:00 EST</pubDate></item><item><title>So You Think You Can Dance: 2 of 16 Voted Off</title><link>http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/06/26/so-you-think-you-can-dance-2-of-16-voted-off/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/06/26/so-you-think-you-can-dance-2-of-16-voted-off/</guid><comments>http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/06/26/so-you-think-you-can-dance-2-of-16-voted-off/#comments</comments><description><![CDATA[<p>Filed under: <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/reality/" rel="tag">Other Reality Shows</a>, <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/oped/" rel="tag">OpEd</a>, <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/episode-reviews/" rel="tag">Episode Reviews</a></p><em><img hspace="4" height="178" border="0" align="right" width="200" vspace="4" alt="Mary Murphy &amp; Nigel Lythgoe" src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.tvsquad.com/media/2009/06/nigel_lythgoe_mary_murph_090625.jpg" />(S05E09)</em> Oh my god, a group number? Who knew?<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Group Number - "I Know You Want Me (Calle Ocho)," Pitbull </span><br style="font-weight: bold;" />(Hip-Hop, Dmitry Chaplan and Napoleon &amp; Tabitha) Cat got a more dramatic entrance after this busy little number. I found myself enjoying the piece as we got into the middle of it. The beginning seemed overly long with the close-ups of the dancers undulating around in the dark. It was more posturing than dancing at that point. But when we got into it there were some nice moments, though no particular breakout stars.<br /><br />Which actually sums up some of the problems with this season so far. Brandon is a force to be reckoned with, and I like Ade but I think by this point last season I was already seeing a lot of fun personality from Twitch, Joshua, Katee, Chelsea, Courtney, Gev and so many more. Where are those strong dynamic and unique performers this year? We have a lot of great dancers, but a real dearth of stars.<p><a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/06/26/so-you-think-you-can-dance-2-of-16-voted-off/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>So You Think You Can Dance: 2 of 16 Voted Off</em></a></p><p style="clear: both; padding: 8px 0 0 0; height: 2px; font-size: 1px; border: 0; margin: 0; padding: 0;">&nbsp;</p><p><a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/06/26/so-you-think-you-can-dance-2-of-16-voted-off/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent link to this entry">Permalink</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/forward/19079044/" title="Send this entry to a friend via email">Email this</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/06/26/so-you-think-you-can-dance-2-of-16-voted-off/#comments" title="View reader comments on this entry">Comments</a></p>]]></description><category>asukah kondoh</category><category>AsukahKondoh</category><category>caitlin kinney</category><category>CaitlinKinney</category><category>cat deeley</category><category>CatDeeley</category><category>jason glover</category><category>JasonGlover</category><category>jonathan platero</category><category>JonathanPlatero</category><category>karla garcia</category><category>KarlaGarcia</category><category>mary murphy</category><category>MaryMurphy</category><category>nigel lythgoe</category><category>NigelLythgoe</category><category>so you think you can dance</category><category>SoYouThinkYouCanDance</category><category>sytycd</category><category>take me on the floor</category><category>TakeMeOnTheFloor</category><category>the rage boys crew</category><category>the veronicas</category><category>TheRageBoysCrew</category><category>TheVeronicas</category><category>toni basil</category><category>ToniBasil</category><category>vitolio jeune</category><category>VitolioJeune</category><dc:creator>Jason Hughes</dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 26 Jun 2009 03:57:00 EST</pubDate></item><item><title>You're going to have More To Love on FOX (and more to hate too)</title><link>http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/06/25/youre-going-to-have-more-to-love-on-fox-and-more-to-hate-too/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/06/25/youre-going-to-have-more-to-love-on-fox-and-more-to-hate-too/</guid><comments>http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/06/25/youre-going-to-have-more-to-love-on-fox-and-more-to-hate-too/#comments</comments><description><![CDATA[<p>Filed under: <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/reality/" rel="tag">Other Reality Shows</a>, <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/video/" rel="tag">Video</a></p>A while back we told you about a new FOX reality show titled <em>The Fatchelor</em>. That was actually a cute nickname for the show <em>More To Love</em>, which features an overweight guy looking for love with an overweight gal. Or maybe any gal, though this preview below does seem to say that he wants one with more meat on her bones. But the question is, will you watch this? And if so ... why?

By the end of <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/american-idol/"><span style="font-style: italic;">American Idol</span></a>, I'm just hoping that Ryan would stop interviewing contestants and just get to the singing. Eventually the confetti falls, we have a winner, and Ryan Seacrest disappears from my television until January.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/tag/so+you+think+you+can+dance/"><span style="font-style: italic;">So You Think You Can Dance</span></a> rolls around and we're greeted by the wonderful Cat Deeley. I have to admit that she's light years ahead of Ryan Seacrest. She may not be as witty as <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/dancing-with-the-stars/">Tom Bergeron</a>, but she brings a flair to her hosting duties.<p><a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/06/25/why-cat-deeley-is-better-than-ryan-seacrest/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>Why Cat Deeley is better than Ryan Seacrest</em></a></p><p style="clear: both; padding: 8px 0 0 0; height: 2px; font-size: 1px; border: 0; margin: 0; padding: 0;">&nbsp;</p><p><a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/06/25/why-cat-deeley-is-better-than-ryan-seacrest/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent link to this entry">Permalink</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/forward/19078203/" title="Send this entry to a friend via email">Email this</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/06/25/why-cat-deeley-is-better-than-ryan-seacrest/#comments" title="View reader comments on this entry">Comments</a></p>]]></description><category>american idol</category><category>AmericanIdol</category><category>cat deeley</category><category>CatDeeley</category><category>host</category><category>reality tv</category><category>RealityTv</category><category>ryan seacrest</category><category>RyanSeacrest</category><category>so you think you can dance</category><category>SoYouThinkYouCanDance</category><category>sytycd</category><dc:creator>Michael Pascua</dc:creator><pubDate>Thu, 25 Jun 2009 15:04:00 EST</pubDate></item><item><title>Ice Road Truckers iPhone app lets fans hit the frozen road</title><link>http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/06/25/ice-road-truckers-iphone-app-lets-fans-hit-the-frozen-road/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/06/25/ice-road-truckers-iphone-app-lets-fans-hit-the-frozen-road/</guid><comments>http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/06/25/ice-road-truckers-iphone-app-lets-fans-hit-the-frozen-road/#comments</comments><description><![CDATA[<p>Filed under: <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/reality/" rel="tag">Other Reality Shows</a>, <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/documentary/" rel="tag">Documentary</a></p><img width="200" vspace="4" hspace="4" height="153" border="0" align="right" src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.tvsquad.com/media/2007/08/iceroadsmap.jpg" alt="A new iPhone app lets fans of Ice Road Truckers hit the road." />It's doubtful the tough guys (and gal) driving north to Alaska on the current season of <span style="font-style: italic;">Ice Road Truckers</span> are big video game players.

I must say I was quite impressed with Lou Diamond Phillips from the start. I loved his leadership qualities and his helpfulness towards his "junglemates." He is one of the main reasons why I watched the remaining episodes and even caught up with the week 1 <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/06/08/heidi-pratt-tortured-on-reality-tv-show/">Speidi drama</a>!

Even though it's a big deal to be receiving a prestigious award, I still found myself dozing off when she started talking about it.<br /><br />This year, the competition is so tight that it's hard to figure out who's going to be in the bottom three from week to week. So many of the contestants are really impressive in picking up the different styles, and that continued tonight.<br /><br />What also continued was couples who were great last week being not so great this week. And there are still so many couples that there are only a few favorites sprinkled throughout. In other words "What have you done for me lately?" is in full effect.
