"Beauty and the Geek" Reveals Yet Another Twist...

... and I won't be sticking around to watch it.

Is anyone else just totally over this once-fantastic now unwatchable series? Sad.

I don't care about gratuitous twists, skanky contestants that appear willing to bed the geeks in order to stay in the house, or why the producers feel that they need to shake up a winning formula by introducing such drivel and undermining their own brand.

I'm out.

So you stayed around just long enough for them to pair them up and bring back the Beauty and the Geek we loved, doing away with the awful Beauty vs. Geek?!?!
I felt last night's episode finally was heading back to the show I loved. I didn't like the fact that the people who switched sides were automatically out if their team lost, and I didn't like that the girls picked the teams, leaving one poor geek to be left out (brought back too many memories of being picked last for sports, which I'm sure it did for the geeks as well)
But I loved seeing Leticia waiting on the steps for Matt to return from the hospital. And how upset Tiffany was at sending him there. This was the show I signed up for, and hopefully starting next week we will get it back.
Besides the slut who tried to hook up with the completely clueless Tommy is gone, and the rest seem like they might be changing.
But I just can't believe now is where you decided to leave, which makes me wonder, did you finish last night's episode?

Too little too late. Yes, it looks like they are returning to the old format but, sadly, they've annoyed me too much to care.

The American TV viewer is being willingly sucked to the bottom of a pool of televised toxic waste.

Dance With The Stars
Dance Without The Stars
Do It With A Star
Bachelor This, Bachelorette That
Beauty Geek Survivor Idol Race Rock-Star Brother

It's all one show, it reeks of lack of imagination, and it sucks the big one.

At the same time I'm Googling Bret Michaels because I've never freaking heard of him, I'm haunted by questions like "where the hell did 'Alias' go?" and "who's the Einstein that canceled "Firefly" after a dozen eppies?"

People who support crap TV deserve crap TV. The rest of us are having trouble finding something to watch. No wonder downloading movies is so popular.

Springsteen said it 20 years ago, "57 Channels and Nothing On."

Sigh. No, I'm still stuck on it. They almost lost me with the Geeks vs. Beauty direction, but things are relatively back on track. The participants do seem to lack the charm of players in seasons past, though.

What's Done is Done: The Eternal Struggle Between Good and Evil on the Season Finale of "Lost"

Every story begins with thread. It's up to the storyteller to determine just how much they need to parcel out, what pattern they're making, and when to cut it short and tie it off. With last night's penultimate season finale of Lost ("The Incident, Parts One and Two"), written by Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse, we began to see the pattern that Lindelof and Cuse have been designing towards the last five seasons of this serpentine series. And it was only fitting that the two-hour finale, which pushes us on the road to the final season of Lost , should begin with thread, a loom, and a tapestry. Would Jack follow through on his plan to detonate the island and therefore reset their lives aboard Oceanic Flight 815 ? Why did Locke want to kill Jacob? What caused The Incident? What was in the box and just what lies in the shadow of the statue? We got the answers to these in a two-hour season finale that didn't quite pack the same emotional wallop of previous season

Have a Burning Question for Team Darlton, Matthew Fox, Evangeline Lilly, or Michael Emerson?

Lost fans: you don't have to make your way to the island via Ajira Airways in order to ask a question of the creative team or the series' stars. Televisionary is taking questions from fans to put to Lost 's executive producers/showrunners Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse and stars Matthew Fox ("Jack Shephard"), Evangeline Lilly ("Kate Austen"), and Michael Emerson ("Benjamin Linus") for a series of on-camera interviews taking place this weekend. If you have a specific question for any of the above producers or actors from Lost , please leave it in the comments section below . I'll be accepting questions until midnight PT tonight and, while I can't promise I'll be able to ask any specific inquiry due to the brevity of these on-camera interviews, I am looking for some insightful and thought-provoking questions to add to the mix. So who knows: your burning question might get asked after all.

Pilot Inspektor: CBS' "Smith"

I may just have to change my original "What I'll Be Watching This Fall" post, as I sat down and finally watched CBS' new crime drama Smith this weekend. (What? It's taken me a long time to make my way through the stack of pilot DVDs.) While it's on following Gilmore Girls and Veronica Mars on Tuesday nights (10 pm ET/PT, to be exact), I'm going to be sure to leave enough room on my TiVo to make sure that I catch this compelling, amoral drama. While one can't help but be impressed by what might just be the most marquee-friendly cast in primetime--Ray Liotta, Virginia Madsen, Jonny Lee Miller, Amy Smart, Simon Baker, and Franky G all star and Shohreh Aghdashloo has a recurring role--the pilot's premise alone earned major points in my book: it's a crime drama from the point of view of the criminals, who engage in high-stakes heists. But don't be alarmed; it's nothing like NBC's short-lived Heist . Instead, think of it as The Italian
