Last night was officially the Beginning of the End for me…TV season-wise. We passed on Desperate Housewives in favor of the Survivor finale and lucky for us our viewing of Boston Legal from two weeks ago (which has just been renewed…yay!) caused us to start into Survivor twenty minutes late.
Why is this lucky, you ask? It’s lucky because due to the wonder which is Tivo, once we backed up 20 minutes…we were able to fast-forward through all the mucky, girly crying and verklempting between Natalie, Pavarotti (I have to call her that, else I’ll keep calling her Poverty), Amanda and Cirie. I now know why mixed final fours are more interesting…because four girls talking about how amazing and awesome they are starts looking like James’s festering wound. Seriously.
Having said that…I honestly and truly did not expect Pavarotti to win. I figured if Amanda took Cirie to the final two, she’d have a tough time winning. With Pavarotti though…seemed like a lock for Amanda.
And I’m sorry, did Mary (Yeah, I know…who?) say her fiance-friend-of-a-former-castaway proposed after three days? Good luck with that. You know what we need? Survivor - Newlywed Island. Oh wait, we already had that this season.
And today at lunch, I watched the Brothers and Sisters season finale. I love that show. I hated it the first few episodes though…thought it was too clever for its own good. After the writing picked up a bit (IMO), I became a faithful watcher.
But.
Did the Walker clan really have to go there? Is there not enough drama going on? Do we have to rehash the illegitimate child storyline again? Fifty bucks says it’s Ryan Atwood. From Chino to The O.C. to Pasadena. Works for me.
Now…just need to catch up on Desperate Housewives. Don’t tell me what happened…for the time being I’d like to stay in my fantasy world where Mallory Keating isn’t dealing drugs out of Gaby’s house, and Parker and Preston set Kayla on fire.

I haven’t seen the Brothers &Sisters finale yet, but I’m guessing that we’re talking about Rebecca and justin finally kissing? If so, I think it’s because the two actors had such a great chemistry at the beginning (probably b/c they were dating in real life) that it almost became incestuous-like so they just decided to go that route. I also thought the show got a lot better as time passed, and the siblings and mom conversations crack me up b/c they’re a lot like my own family.
Okay, so I watched it. I think they went down that road to clear Holly’s name b/c if William new that Rebecca wasn’t his kid, then she didn’t “dupe” him and commit fraud to get the $$. It’s just a way to keep the character in the family business (esp. since Patricia Wettig is married to Ken Olin). But the reality is that if William new Rebecca wasn’t his kid, then how could Holly really not have known? Anyway, I hope they don’t go down the road of trying to track that Ryan down — just let it go and realize that William was a man-whore.
I know. I was feeling pretty bad for Nora. How much does it have to suck to, every year or so, have your kids sit you down and tell you your husband appears to have yet another illegitimate love child?
