Lauren’s Best Song – Bachelor
Written by: JohnLauren definitely had the best song on the Bachelor tonight and it’s such a mistake that Jason chose Molly over Lauren. Ok, I get that Jason probably doesn’t like Lauren as much as Molly, but it would have been fair to take Lauren with him, because her song was 100 times better than all of the other girls songs.
Of course, it would have very likely meant that it was the end of the show for Lauren. I’m not sure that Jason would have given Lauren the rose on the individual date. I could be wrong, but I could see that Jason wasn’t feeling it at all for Lauren.
Since Jason just did away with Lauren, my new favorite is Melissa. I think she’s going to make it to the end of the show and win it all.
Also, it was really time for Nikki, Shannon and the Lacrosse Coach (I can’t remember her name and don’t really care to remember) to go home.
Oh man, I just saw Lauren singing during the outtake of Bachelor and I like her even more. I’m sad that I won’t get to see another week of Lauren on the Bachelor.

Written by: JohnI just finally was able to catch up on my TV back log and watch the final 2 episodes of Momma’s Boys. I must admit that I think Momma’s Boys was one of the best reality shows I’ve seen in a while. They did a great job with the editing and the casting. They provided amazing situations that really made you think.
Plus, it didn’t hurt that they had at least 3 playboy playmates and a Penthouse Pet of the Year either. I can’t mention that without posting at least a few pictures right:
Erica Ellyson Penthouse Pet of the Year
Brittany Fuchs Playboy Playmate
Meghan Allen and Michelle Kopasz were the other Playboy Playmates.
Anyway, the pretty girls were nice, but they were put in really interesting situations. Anyone that is considering doing Playboy or Penthouse should watch this show, because it gives an interesting insight into some possible challenges you’ll have with dating after posing for Playboy or Penthouse.
The funny thing is that Erica Ellyson really was my favorite on the show. She was real and natural. More than any other person on the show. Michael made a mistake not picking her. Sure, he had a good choice with Amanda, but Erica had something really special.
The cool part is that I found out on Erica Ellyson’s myspace that she now lives in Las Vegas (you might also check out her blog post after the show). She’s even working with a company called Platinum Tees that has models go golfing with people. The problem I have with that is that Erica would kill me at golf. I wonder if she’d take me golfing in return to promotion on my site. I can always dream right? I’m going to have to watch for her on UNLV’s campus assuming she still decided to go to UNLV for architecture or nursing.
Well, I’m looking forward to Momma’s Boys two. Unfortunately, I don’t think there’s a way they can make it better than the first season of Momma’s Boys. Thanks Erica for making it a really great show with an interesting ending.
Oh yes, and Camilla Poindexter should have been picked by Robb. Ridiculous that he didn’t and even more ridiculous that JoJo even considered taking his mom.
Check out the full streaming video of Momma’s Boys if you missed it.

Grey’s Anatomy Quotes and Comments
Written by: JohnTonight’s Grey’s Anatomy was as good as any I’ve seen. Except for little Grey. I hate that her and Sloan are together. Sloan can never go back and be the nice guy, but now little Grey is no longer the good girl either. They’re going to have to introduce a nice new girl, but I digress.
The following are my favorite Grey’s Anatomy quotes from tonight’s show:
“I loved you so much I thought being with you was heaven.”
“Am I an executioner or am I a surgeon?”
“You’ve got some problems, some big problems.
Will you go out with me anyway?”
The first one is what I tell my wife.
The second one was just stunning to think about.
The third one makes me laugh since Yang is the last person to talk about someone not having problems.
Very interesting episode. I can’t wait for 2 weeks when they have the combined Grey’s Anatomy and Private Practice episode. That has truly never been done. I can’t wait to see what they do. Makes complete since why they’d do it.

Lost Returns to ABC
Written by: JohnI’ll admit that I haven’t gotten into Lost. My plan is to eventually get the DVD’s and watch all of Lost without having to wait for the next episode. Everyone I’ve talked to told me that the waits for Lost are killer.
Of course, considering its popularity, I think that most people are watching Lost and are excited for tomorrow’s Lost premiere. Today, I found this interesting mini Lost spoiler that talks about Lost filming in Honolulu
On the eve of the broadcast premiere of the first two episodes of Season 5, veteran “LOST” spotter Howard Hsu sent word of a location shoot in downtown Honolulu. They recreated, on a smaller scale, the Widmore Industries exterior seen in Episode 3×08, “Flashes Before Your Eyes.” The signs were back, as well as the mysteriously omnipresent green newsstand. Background extras, dressed up and dressed warmly, swarmed the breezeway, as Alan Dale (Charles Widmore) talked on the phone. Meanwhile, a second unit was filming near the Waikiki Yacht Club at Magic Island.
Maybe this isn’t as interesting to other people, but it’s interesting to me because I use to live on Oahu. The link above also has a list of places in Hawaii where they’re doing Lost premiere parties. Looks like a lot of fun.

Written by: JohnFORMER MODELS:
Tara Costa (Model/Finance manager), 23, New York, New York, and her friend Laura Denoux (Model/Sales director), 24, Miami, Florida.
Man TV shows are great at spin. I thought the idea of bringing a couple of models on the Biggest Loser was a great storyline. Of course, I had to search the internet to find some pictures of these models so we could see how their model look compared to how much weight they lose on the show.
Well, it turns out that Tara and Laura are plus size models. That’s not nearly as interesting a story. I was hoping for some models that were really skinny and then became fat. Then, the show would be them returning to their previous form. Now Tara and Laura are going to be without jobs at the end of the show. The beauty is that Tara and Laura will probably be very happy about that result.

Written by: JohnI’m always interested to see the ways people we love on TV are using technology. I recently came across the ballerina on Superstars of Dance, Maria Kochetkova, on twitter. If you don’t know what Twitter is you should start playing with it. It’s easy to use and kind of awkward at first, but once you start following a few interesting people you’ll fall in love. You can follow the Pure TV Blog network on Twitter as well.
If you’re not into Twitter, you can follow Maria Kochetkova’s blog. It’s kind of fun seeing what a principal dancer for the San Francisco ballet is saying and doing. Plus, lots of good links to videos.
Of course, if you don’t know who Maria Kochetkova is, you can check out this beautiful ballerina video:
I wonder if Maria Kochetkova would do an interview for this blog so we could learn more about her and her time on the show. I’ll send her a tweet and see what she says.
