Big Brother 10 Disappoints in Last Night’s Show

Published by lrh2310 under television Edit This

Has anyone seen last night’s episode of Big Brother 10? Kheesha won hoh and the veto competition. She keeps talking about how she is going to set things straight and do things the way she wants them done. She puts up Angie and Jessie. She said part of the reason she put up Jessie (who is the bodybuilder) is that she wanted to seek revenge on Steven’s behalf. Then Jessie revealed that it was Libra who is in Kheesha’s alliance that wanted Steven to go up. She believed him and even talked to the other girl in her alliance, April.

Then what does the idiot do? She leaves both Jessie and Angie on the block because she gave Libra her word that she would remain faithful to her. So what was the point in putting up Jessie? There wasn’t one. Yep, Kheesha is stirring up the house and working her way right out the door.

Kheesha thought she was ruling the game until it is all going to bite her in the ass if Jessie doesn’t get evicted Thursday night. Other people are going to get her out too since she made it known that she gave Libra her word. She is being really stupid!

Wipeout Is Too Corny

Published by lrh2310 under television Edit This

There’s a new game show on the abc network entitled Wipeout. The show can be annoying at times, funny, and sometimes entertaining. I find it funny to see people flying through the air as they try to bounce off a big red ball but at the same time I don’t see how they don’t hurt themselves and it can be disturbing to see how these people practically break their necks.

I also get annoyed watching over weight people trying to get through an obstacle course when obviously they are not going to be able to do very well. The most physically fit people struggle through these courses. I feel as though the people in charge of selecting contestants purposely chose these heavy people in order to get a few laughs. These contestants may not realize how bad they look so it just doesn’t sit right with me. This doesn’t mean that the contestants have to be skinny either. I just ask that they make sure that these people are physically capable of handling such rigorous courses and aren’t there to be laughed at. One woman in particular I remember watching her trying to get up a ladder and the commentators were making fun of her. I didn’t find this funny at all and thought if this woman realized how they were cracking jokes about her weight she probably wouldn’t have put herself through this.

Overall, I think this show could be good if the commentators were switched to hosts of the show. The commentators are really too silly and make the show seem like a joke. It is like a comedian is telling a joke and it isn’t funny but they keep trying to tell it in different ways to see if you will laugh at least once.

After watchinga few minutes of tonights show they also don’t need to have the machinery talking. That is completely stupid.

G’s to Gents is Mtv’s Latest Reality Show

Published by lrh2310 under television Edit This

281x211a.jpg
G’s to Gents is Mtv’s latest effort in creating a reality series. I have to admit I think most of this show is exaggerated. I don’t think any of these guys are for real. The host who is supposed to show these guys how to act and dress like a gentleman rather than a group of idiots tends to have a grin on his face half the time as though this show isn’t for real. There is no way this is a reality show since nothing seems realistic about it.

There were about 14 guys that are dressed with overly large shirts, backward hats, gawdy jewelry or as they like to call it bling, grills or a gold or silver tooth. Then they walk with a dragged leg holding their crotch trying to keep up their pants that is hanging down below their butts. Then don’t ask about their poor speech habits. It is as though they never attended school. I couldn’t take much of this show and I haven’t watched one episode completely through. I get really aggravated with the stupidity of this show and the sad thing is is that they could have an original idea here if they didn’t come across as though they made it up. Kind of like when they get the geeks with the girls that are supposed to be beautiful. It is evident that the guys are geeks. They are not pretending to be whereas these G’s are not really believable since it doesn’t seem to be coming from the heart. They of course are trying to win money. Each week a guy is voted off from the host and who ever is left at the end wins a lot of money. I can’t say that this show has a chance of returning for another season unless they find guys that are really “G’s” and not actors. The show would have more success then.

Brooke Hogan’s Latest Comment Gets Her Headlines

Published by lrh2310 under television Edit This

01.jpg
Brooke Hogan recently made a comment on her show about how a woman should never be president. Apparently many thought that statement was out of line. However, if you watched her latest reality telelvision show you would have realized she was being asked about who she was voting for. She admitted she doesn’t like to vote for President. That should tell you that she isn’t into politics. She didn’t even know that Hillary Clinton was voted out of the running.

Brooke said she felt that a woman shouldn’t run for president since women tend to run on emotion. She was right. Yet that does’t mean that every woman is going to be the same. Has she seen Hillary? That woman doesn’t have one emotional bone in her body. She lies and pretends and says what you want to hear like every other male politician. Therefore, Brooke wasn’t out of line by saying what she felt but she was wrong regarding Hillary. I wouldn’t vote for Hillary anyway. I must admit I hated people thinking that just because I am a woman that i must want Hillary for President. Get real! They are all the same at this point. There’s no real separation of parties anymore and it has become a sad race for the past three terms. Thanks President Bush! You ruined everything.

America’s Best Crew Almost Had Their Finale Last Night

Published by lrh2310 under television Edit This

jc-cha.jpg
The latest on America’s Best Dance Crew was a show down between Super Crew and Supreme Soul. America voted these two as the bottom two groups while Boogie Bots, So Real, and Fanny Pack are still in the running.

Jude Lil Mama made it known how disappointed she was to see these two dance groups in the bottom two. JC said he felt it was the finale last night. Obviously the judges were rather upset. I am curious to see who is going to make the final. The last show will probably be between Super Crew and So Real. Boogie Bots will probably leave next week and then Fanny Pack.

I’m curious to see what will happen if Super Crew ends up in the bottom again. I would hate to see how ticked off the judges will get if they see this happen. It is very evident they want them to win since they chose them over Supreme Soul and they both “killed it” last night.

Mortgage Lenders Are a Crock

Published by lrh2310 under Real Estate Edit This

Has anyone gone through a refinance for their home? Have you noticed how they put you through the ringer just to find out if you could afford a lesser mortgage? Is this not a joke? I am having to prove that I can afford to pay more than $200 less a month.

They tell me I don’t make enough money to fit into their criteria yet I have never been late on a payment. They tell me I can’t consider my part time jobs since I haven’t had them for two years. I can’t, I can’t, I can’t is all I hear. The proof that I have never been late on anything in the past two years should be evidence enough that I can afford to pay less for my home.

Maybe I am just ignorant to the lenders and banks reasoning behind such stupidity but I know if I saw evidence that this person has lived in a home for two years and has never been late on anything for two years and has had the same job for multiple years I would not give this homeowner a problem in refinancing what so ever. The mortgage lenders are a crock and what it comes down to is that they don’t make enough money off of me since I am not getting a large loan.

Brooke Hogan Has a New Show

Published by lrh2310 under television Edit This

The latest person to have her own reality show is Brooke Hogan who is the daughter of Hulk Hogan. They had a reality show about the family last season but since Brooke’s parents divorce they turned the focus on Brooke. VH1 wanted to continue to follow the Hogan family around and without the agreement from the Hogan parents there would be no way such a show could continue.

I watched two shows of Brooke’s new life in her new apartment with her gay roommate. It can be rather funny with how Hulk reacts to his daughters escapades and how Brooke tries to give the impression she is the woman of the world. This is supposed to be a reality show though. So, I am curious to see what will happen. Will they touch on realistic issues or will they just follow Brooke with a camera all day?

Hopefully they will keep the viewers updated on the process of the divorce between her parents. I think that is actually something people should see in order to understand or relate to something so hard as divorce.

Strangers is One Horrible Film

Published by lrh2310 under Movie Edit This

I went to see the movie, The Strangers last night starring Liv Tyler. I was told by a friend of mine that the movie wasn’t that bad. It was ok. Even though it has been a while since the movie has been out I thought I’d see it since it was still in the theatre. Yeah, it was in a dollar theatre, but it’s still a theatre. I mainly wanted to know if the couple in the commercials got killed off and I was told by my friend that they weren’t. I guess she didn’t stay until the end. I also wanted to see how they would kill off the killers.

For those that haven’t seen the movie please don’t waste your time. Please! This film left me angry and pissed off among other things. I was extrememly disappointed that Liv Tyler would play in such a horrible film. I thought that there would be no way that Liv would get killed. I was wrong.

The story began with a couple. The man asked the woman to marry him and she didn’t think she could since she felt she wasn’t ready. The man drives the two up into a remote area and calls his best friend to come get them in the morning. Don’t know why they couldn’t take the car and leave at that moment.

Then a knock comes on the door. Then a pound. It was a girl who was part of the three killers. She asked for a person that didn’t exist. Then the girl disappears. The couple looks at each other and say that was weird. Then suddenly the guy decides to go out to the store to get some cigarettes. Of course they don’t go together. Things start happening to the woman left in the house played by Liv and then the phones are cut off, her cell phone disappears, and so on and so on.

The guy returns to an extremely upset woman and acts as though she is over-reacting. Eventually their car is distroyed, the house is destroyed, they become injured trying to run away, and the best friend arrives early to only be killed by the couple. Ok. The worst is yet to come. The couple is captured and stabbed to death and for absolutely no reason. The three killers leave in the morning and you never get to see what they even looked like. There was absolutely no point to this film! I can’t say enough bad things about it. Just don’t bother renting it and don’t waste your money. The movie industry has got to come up with better horror films than allowing the innocent to continue to die as part of the entertainment. It’s not entertainment. It’s not enjoyable. It’s not creative. All it is is grose, aggravating, disappointing, and extremely annoying. I want to change everything about this film. The only thing the director succeeded in doing was make me mad! It’s not even worth posting a picture.

I love Money

Published by lrh2310 under television Edit This

ilm-cast-whiteboy_77_1.jpg
The latest reality television show is I Love Money! This is where they take several reality stars from different shows and have them compete for money. They team up and then do challenges against the other team. From there, the team that loses has to vote off someone.

Some interesting characters have been chosen to try to win $250,000. Most of the reality stars are from I Love New York and Flavor of Love. There’s about three from Rock of Love and I think that about covers it. All of these people are unusual in their own way and make the show outrageously humorous. They had about 17 contestants and the first one to get eliminated was Midget Mac from I love new york. He didn’t want to do anything and didn’t seem to want the money badly enough. All he did was sit around and disrespect all of the women in the house and drink, drink, and drink. He thought he was too cool to do anything constructive and maybe he thought they would feel sorry for him for being a midget but instead he was just surprised they voted him off and left.

This leaves Toastie, pumpkin, hoops from flavor of love and white boy, chance, mr. boston, 12 pack, the entertainer, heat and real from i love new york. Rodeo, Megan, and heather from rock of love. Oh yeah, Nibblz was voted off last week.

I’m curious to watch this show to see how it evolves and to see if they end up with another season. If they do have another season they are going to have to wait awhile before they find some more reality stars. I think they used up all of them from the three shows that had several seasons.

Identity Theft and What to Do If It Happens to You

Published by lrh2310 under education Edit This

After experiencing identity theft one of the ways to help prevent fraudulent accounts from continuing to open is to have a fraud alert on your credit report. Understanding what the fraud alerts are for and what freezing your credit can do will only help preventing further problems with others stealing your identity.

There are two kinds of fraud alerts, initial and extended. An initial fraud alert will remain on your credit report up to 90 days. Creditors must use a procedure that is stated by law that requests personal information to identify if it is really you that is requesting information about your account or trying to open a new account. An extended fraud alert stays on your credit report for seven years. This can happen if you reported identity theft to the police. You would have to mail in a copy of the report to the credit reporting companies (Experian, Equifax, and TransUnion) in order for it to be extended. When trying to open a new account the creditors will have to either meet with you personally or contact you rather than an online or mail service. The credit reporters will also remove your name from a listing for pre-screened credit offers.

Depending on which state you live in will depend on whether or not you can freeze your credit. Some states will not allow you to freeze your credit unless you have proof of identity theft happening to you. If the state allows a person to do a credit freeze without proof of identity theft then chances are they will also charge a small fee. Once you request a credit freeze then this will limit access to your credit report from being viewed by potential creditors. You can still have access to your credit report and score, but it just won’t allow any potential or current creditors or third parties to view it. If you want to apply for new credit the only way you can do this is if you lift the freeze temporarily by using a PIN number. In order to lift the freeze you may also need to pay a fee and it will take about three days before it is lifted. You must also realize that if you decide to do a credit freeze then you must contact all of the major credit bureaus and if you decide to lift it you will have to do it with each of the three bureaus as well.

Even though using a credit freeze may help in most cases of protecting yourself from further identity theft it cannot help in some areas. For instance, if you didn’t have new accounts opened and someone has been using your credit cards then the credit freeze will not help. Also, new accounts can be opened such as bank accounts that don’t require a credit check. Despite this fact a credit freeze will help protect you from most credit thieves.
