Dec 13th Baby!!

The top rated drama Smackdown!

Brand new er vs Brand new CSI!!!

Unless NBC chickens out and throws on a re-run.

Totally unrelated...I'm sorry.

I was very disappointed. I was thinking last week they teased up with the whole Lex interrogating everyone deal. I guess the big ostrich egg was cool, but that was about it. I liked getting to find out about some of the luxury items though.

It's still the most-watched reality series going. Averages 20 million a week. It's incredibly cheap to produce, and they'll keep going until old folks become the largest share of the audience. They did a clip show last year at this time. Everyone breathe.

Does anyone like Frank at all?

The antler thing was incredibly stupid, and the elephant thing he did just made me think he's a bigger idiot than I thought.
Maybe it's just me, but dayum, he sucks!

I like Frank he is one of my favorites, but he isn't going to have a chance.

Like the other guy said they had a clip show last season too. Next week it will be back.

I was looking forward to new content, but I still enjoyed seeing some of the things we were not shown. Some of the things change perceptions a little bit, like when Linda apologized sincerely to Lindsey. They only showed her acting all flipped out on the regular show.

And Frank. I think he is kinda complex and has some issues. I admire some of his work ethic and drive. I also think it's kinda cool that he does not care that people might laugh at him as he plays with the animals or his antlers. But man....that is still odd. And if he put in the same amount of energy into getting along with people, as the energy he puts into wood gathering and getting water, he would be way ahead.

He needs to understand that to win, he needs people on his side. Not just alliances.

Brandon will be soon gone. And probably Lex and Ethan. I like Ethan, but his strength will now work against him post-merger. Who will be there at the end? Probably someone that flies a little under the radar but plays the game well. Maybe Teresa unless her start with Samburu plays along old alliances and her and Frank and Kim P. get voted off.

Kim J? Kelly? Tom? One of those three would be my guess. And I am thinking Tom will be there at the final two.

A recap of the first 3 weeks. Now, you can see what you may have missed and why it's so irrelevant. This show is in trouble.
