To all Readers of this Blog, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!  See you next year!

 

Yes I did quite enjoy Survivor Philippines.

The winner, as most yon readers probably know, was Denise. I am not surprised a bit. Denise played a wonderful game, she was diplomatic, she was tenacious, she was a real politician.

Not that it was easy watching the finale of Survivor Philippines. Goodness there was the actual episode. Following up was the final Tribal Council. Then we had the "AFTER SURVIVOR" show. Goodness if anyone tried to DVR all that they'd have been hopelessly out of sync. If it wasn't the football games, it was the President and his speech.

I did the wise and just tuned in live.

I liked Lisa, goodness, and Skupin also played a good game. But Denise ran circles around everybody and, indeed, Denise one handily.

I'm still trying to understand how this show works, indeed how most of these reality shows like this work. "Big Brother" and "Bachelor Pad" all work under the same premise: the co-contenders vote out the losers and the last one standing wins.

Once you get down toward the end the eliminations make sense. Throwing Malcolm out, for example, at the last tribal council, made a lot of sense. For it was Malcolm who really played the best game. He survived, along with Denise, down to the last two of his tribe. He won many immunity rewards. He was a pleasant fellow and had he been one of the final two I think he would have one.

It isn't always clear to me how the contenders hone in on a co-contender from early to mid-season. At least to me it's not clear. Perhaps other more seasoned viewers catch on right away.

I do know that often, right at the beginning, there's usually a few co-contenders who are not so easy to live with.

In Survivor Philippines I did not understand how Abi stayed in there so long and for sure I don't know why they kicked out Carter when they did. Carter should have been around longer than Malcolm as I figured.

Whatever the case, Survivor Philippines unfolded, much like the universe, as it should.

Great reality competitive series, the granddaddy of them all.

Project Runway All Stars 2012-Casanova, Finally, Goes Home. Are Emilio's Lips Real?

  It's Anthony Ryan and Emilio all the time on this autumn 2012 series of Project Runway All Stars.

Joshua had a few winning looks, or close to them, of late. But he's a drama queen and a bit snarky. In the most recent challenge as of this writing, Joshua designed some kind of weird bikini short set thing and it was ugly. The judges were captivated by the outfit's "bralet" but I thought it looked stupid.

The challenge the week of the Joshua bikini was to make an outfit out of Christmas decorations but to NOT make the outfit look "Christmassy". Emilio (did he have his lips plumped or was he really born that way?) came up with a purple dress he wove from holiday ribbons. It was quite fetching.

The prior week's challenge involved constructing outfits from some kind of modern fabric with a cool esthetic design. Emilio than concocted a billowy orange creation that flowed beautifully on the model.

Uli's design copied by Anthony Ryan

Anthony Ryan dances around running away with this thing. He creates what looks to me like a direct copy of Uli's design for the outfits made from "unconventional" materials. It is pretty but I note that other contenders noticed the resemblance in design as well.

Casanova, a really dumb name, is gone, and even with that he was a bit beyond his time to go. He had a non-serious mannerism about him and I really hate his name.

Keep following this Blog. There are seven contenders left and we will be honing in on the winners very soon.

X Factor 2012 Down to Final Two. Can Artificially Created Musical Groups Ever Succeed?

So there's two contenders left on X Factor  as of this writing. The semi-finalists consisted of two "hand made" groups, created by Simon Cowell, one old cow hand country singer and a cutie pie young adolescent.

First, about these groups created from other contenders, is this really a good idea?

Here we have a bunch of total strangers to each other and Simon picks and chooses and boom, we have a new group. My ageing memory recalls he did this last year but to no avail.

This year, Simon created two musical groups, one is 5th Harmony, a bunch of girls that Simon liked for whatever reasons. They have yet, as my choir-member ears have listened, to reach any kind of discernible harmony.

THAT'S BECAUSE THEY DIDN'T START OUT AS A GROUP!

It's not that they can't learn harmony, or even getting along with each other for that matter. But lots of groups start out together right from the start. They are attracted to join together due to...lots of reasons. Logistically they live closer, they get along well with each other, their music works. Reasons made them join together and by the time they enter a contest (America's Got Talent has lots of groups like this) they are way further along than these two lame creations of Simon Cowell's.

But yes, 5th Harmony is one of the two finalists and I suppose they might win. I've not been terribly impressed by Tate Stevens.

Oh he sings well enough but at this point they all do. He's just not star material to me, he's more an old cow hand. And if he has any sort of X Factor, I don't see it.

So I predict 5th Harmony will win but how sad is that?

True Crime- Perfect Gun Control Dramas, Celebrities/Politicos/Their Kids Commit Crimes; Crimes That Shock or Astound.

There are many types of crime across the fruited plains. I do, on occasion and as my psyche propels, cover the crime from time to time. Many crimes cause a national discussion. Some crime involve celebrities and politicos, or their offspring. There's always at least one Muslim in the fray, either killing their daughters for being normal or their wives for whatever reason they want as there are few limits to wife abuse in Muslim law.

There are then, of course, the crimes that astound, shock or make me laugh.

Below, a compendium, the last for 2012, of True Crime.

The liberals are very desperate to invoke their agenda of gun control.

Efforts to take away Americans' guns stopped abruptly right after the events of 9-11-01. That's the day America realized that box cutters almost brought us down. Silly and useless attempts to take away our guns seemed futile.

Now we have three crimes this year and the hounding libs will be baying at full moons on until they either get their way or America just says no.

The most notable, of course, is the recent, horrifying events in Connecticut. 20 young children shot dead, brutally, and six adults killed for trying to save or protect them. One evil son of Satan also died in a confusing cloud of bullets, gun-toting mothers and gun control laws which worked but doggone it the criminal didn't obey the laws.

For the alleged perp, one Adam Lanza, was a human nut case, pure and simple. As of this writing it's been revealed that he regularly burned and mutilated himself, that he was a loner and quiet. Law authorities have been hinting widely that the reasons why Lanza did what he did will soon become clear.

Then there is the Zimmerman case down in Florida. This was chosen by the left to be their defining case but the left is always getting fooled about their silly agenda because….well it won't work.

In the Zimmerman case we have a young man serving as civilian watchman for his apartment complex. He had a legal concealed carry permit and what better place to carry a concealed weapon than during the night while watching for crime?

Another young man was acting very suspiciously, lurking around the backs of the buildings until he finally leapt upon Zimmerman and began to pummel him.

What happened next is known mostly by Zimmerman but there's pictures of him after the assault by Trayvon Martin.

It was the perfect gun control drama but it's fizzling. Trayvon, it would seem, was not a model citizen.

Finally we have the fine and upstanding Jovan Belcher who waited for hours for his girlfriend to return from a night out with friends. He shot her eleven times but didn't sports writers of all damn things feel some need to lecture us on the evils of guns.

So okay ladies and gems, the libs got three big drama cases to take our guns.

We've got twenty dead children, a young black man coulda been the president's son out casing homes to vandal when he was shot by Zimmerman in self-defense and then there's the fine, fine Jovan Belcher, man whatta guy, killing the mother of his child, shooting her eleven times.

Let's see how the libs do because if they don't manage to take away our guns with all this emotion (libs GOVERN by emotion) then they never will.

And anybody who thinks taking away our guns will stop all of the above, well I gotta bridge to sell real cheap.
--------------------------------------------------
Now We Move On to the Crimes of the Celebrated and Political Class.

I'm not claiming that the political class or even the silly celebrities of our world have any larger guilt in the crime statistics around us. I just like to point them out as we should watch them. They think they own DC and they think they own Hollywood.

So DEMOCRAT Jim Moran, Representative in America's House, had a son who encouraged voter fraud.

Man what a kid he is. His father must be so proud.

Because this same liar and cheat beat his girlfriend and fractured her skull

What a guy!

Then there's Senator Menendez, a DEMOCRAT, who himself had some time with a prostitute while overseas. His defense is that prostitution is legal in the country where he had it and, of course, we fully want our senators having sex with foreign prostitutes, duh.

So now an intern serving in Moran's office was arrested for being a sex offender. It's unclear what the intern did but what is clear is that offender is from Peru and Mendenez did got a big contribution from a Peruvian PAC.

The senator said he had no idea that a)the intern was an illegal alien much less b)a sex offender.

We'd get fired for being so stupid on our jobs.
===========================================
And then there's the obligatory Muslim male kills wife as is his religious right crime.

What's so sad about this story, the murder of this Muslim woman, mother of four children, was at first believed to be a hate crime.

The Muslims, man they go through life thinking every American is out to get them. Most Americans know few Muslims and are not likely targeting them for hate crimes, come on.

Since this is California, so okay, it was a perfect vehicle, much like the gun control dramas above, to create the lie of Muslim persecution by Americans.

This guy meanwhile kills his wife, brutally, and he gets the benefit of stupid Californians defending his honor.

This was True Crime 101. And this ain't Iraq. You kill your wife you don't a free pass here in America.
===========================================
We'll end with the absurd crime that we always come across in this column.

Dear Lord, here's a man who carved a pentagram into his 6 year old son's back.

Indeed it was this fine fellow himself who phoned police and told him what he did. When the responder asked why he did such a thing, he responded "it's a holiday".

Police found the young child clad only in pajama bottoms, shivering and scared of course, with a bloody back carved with a box cutter. The cuts weren't deep enough to require stitches, thank goodness.

Can you imagine how scared that little guy had to be?
