This week in reality TV has brought us a couple of finales (Survivor and The Bachelor) and a couple of finals (Dancing with the Stars and American Idol).
I was really surprised when Parvati took the million dollar prize on Survivor. I truly thought Amanda had it in the bag. However, I wouldn't exactly call Amanda a loser as she was a winner at love. She and Ozzy have continued to develop their relationship now that the show is over. It's a match made in survivalist heaven.
I was quite pleased when Matt, the bachelor from across the pond, got down on his knee and proposed to the blonde 22 year old daughter of Lorenzo Lamas, of Falcon Crest fame. It drives me crazy the way The Bachelor producers edit that show! They always try to fool you into believing that he'll pick one girl and then in the end he picks the other girl. This season was no different. My first impression was totally wrong regarding Shane, Matt's new fiance. I thought she was the typical blonde, high maintenance, totally superficial bimbo, but she turned out to be genuine, introspective, thoughtful, and sweet. It goes to show how wrong first impressions can really be.
On American Idol, Syesha was eliminated, leaving the two Davids to battle it out. I think everyone saw this coming from a mile away. Both are extremely good and both are deserving of the title. I'm not sure who I will vote for next week, but I think I'm leaning toward David Cook. When he performs it is as if he has been doing it professionally for years. However, every time David Archuletta sings my heart melts. He is such a humble and sweet young man, totally without guile, apparently in spite of his father's "stage parent" behavior.
I'm pretty indifferent regarding Dancing with the Stars. It's been a really yawner of a season. Kristy Yamaguchi is so much better than all the others, that it has never been a true contest. She'll win.
