Can You Duet?!
I know. Sometimes, you’re flipping channels and you end up wondering just WHAT the hell you’re watching and why. Can You Duet is one of those shows, and my oldest daughter and I are completely hooked. I have a deeply hidden love of country music anyway, but we still just kind of hide when we watch it – except when we’re yelling at the top of our lungs “CAN YOU DUET? I CAN DO IT” because we are complete dorks.
Anyway – we are down to the final five duets – some who started the competition together, and at least one couple that was placed together by the judges in an odd looking mixture that COMPLETELY works. I adore them – and want them to win soooooooooo much. Which means they won’t, but whatever.
With only three more episodes left, I’m still holding out for my favorites to make it. Rory and Joey have that old fashioned authentic country sound, but I much prefer the Rocker Country sound of Caitlin and Will. Maybe it will shake down to the old vs. the new in the finale – who knows? I only know that We’ll be watching, and yelling that WE CAN DO IT like the dorks we totally are.
Can't get enough HSM?
Then this one’s for you! Starting June 20, Nick Lechey will host the search for the chance of a lifetime for someone – the chance to Get In The Picture, appearing in a music video shown in the end credits of the feature film, Disney’s High School Musical 3: Senior Year, which will open the fall. It will run on Sundays and Mondays for three whole weeks, then continue on just Monday through mid-September.
Contestants will participate in a summer music program, and one talented newcomer will become part of the HSM history.
Oh. Goody. Tell me – are you even going to WATCH the latest installment of the HSM franchise? In Theaters? Heh. Me either. But – you know we’ll be keeping an eye on the winners of HSM: Get In The Picture!
Coming Soon: Dance Machine!
Coming June 27 – yet another Dancing Show! Dance Machine will feature six real people (as apposed to fake ones) from all walks of life, who will face off in a series of one on one dance-offs to popular music. It’s SYTYCD for all ages – a 70 year old grandma may have to face off with a 25 year old grave digger (JAMES?! OH PLEASE) and dance to Thriller. Ha. The audience will vote off the contestants by voting, and at the end of the night there will be 2 left standing who will challenge each other in a final dance off. The winner will be named Dance Machine and take home $100k. Jason Kennedy from E! News is the host.
Innnnnteresting.
Will DeAnna find love?
DeAnna received a heartbreaking rejection at the end of last years Bachelor when Brad Womack tossed her aside at the last minute. This summer, it’s her turn to be woo’d by guys determined to get laid on national television. You’d think it was BB9, hm?
Anyway! We’re two weeks in, and several of the guys have been sent packing. In the first episode, as the boys bullied their way in and tried to steal just a couple minutes of DeAnna’s attention, it was a night of anything goes – and those that go overboard, went. She sent home 10 of the 25 men the first episode, and Greg was rebellious and ripped off his shirt and howled. M…kay. Inside, DeAnna, completely oblivious to all the tattoo’d noise she’s missing, toasts the remaining men with the Greek OPA!
Episode two saw another 3 men leaving after a day at the ball field, more jockying for position and attention and a division among the men. Some of them get to live in the house by invitation, while the others have to stay at the guest house – with a gratuitous outside shower they must use. Thank you ABC. Rawr! In the end, Chris, Eric and Ryan go home. They cry a bit about being rejected, and lament that DeAnna doesn’t know what she wants since she doesn’t want them. Ha. DeAnna has to run out of the room to dab her wee little tears with a tissue because the elimination ceremony was so hard. Aw. They boys just stand there, uncomfortably, and I waited for one of them to at least attempt to go comfort her – but no. Poor boys. Can’t handle tears. She wipes them away real quick, though, and toasts to her future husband, who she is certain is in the room.
Umhm. Tonight, more heartbreak and rejection. yay!
