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.

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.
