140 - Bulging?!

There's a new show on over here called Bulging Brides. The new thing from the States. They find women who have an upcoming wedding and need to lose some weight. I watched one episode.

It's disgusting.

The woman had a body to be envious of. A size TEN for crying out loud. And they told her she needed to shape up and lose a few inches to make her dress look right. So for six weeks they put her on a diet and a training regime and she lost something like 3 inches off her waist and one off her chest and hips.

I felt like throwing my TV out the window. And I don't mean in a hardcore rocker kind of way.

The girl was just over 150lbs and 5'6 tall. That's NORMAL. That's HEALTHY. And they told her she was chunky and she lost THREE FRICKIN INCHES! I'm all for losing weight to feel or look better but seriously? And they wonder why people have eating disorders!

120 - Supernatural

It’s kind of funny... my internet is down and to pass the time before I can check my emails I decide to write a blog. This is the world that we live in, I suppose.

I just watched the season 5 finale of Supernatural.

I know most of my friends don’t actually watch this show, which is fine because there are plenty of other shows that we have in common to talk about instead. Why my friends don’t watch Supernatural and I do, I don’t know....

Actually, I do know. The people I used to watch it with are either in London or I don’t talk to any more. Oh well.

Supernatural is fantastic. I’ll push it on anyone that will let me. If there’s anyone reading this that wants a show to get in to and doesn’t want to have to wait forever between episodes, pick up Supernatural. You’re already a hundred shows behind.

Without spoilers, I’ll just say that it was written like a show finale, not just a season finale (you know what I mean?) I was bawling for the last 20 minutes, and when it ended I had to text my sister to ask her if they had actually finished totally or if there was going to be another season. It was amazing. It was heartbreaking. It was funny (if I ever call you an ass-butt you will know where I picked it up from).

040 - Television Vision

Yesterday I watched the last few aired episodes of Dollhouse. Today I watched the season finale of Being Human. As well as leaving me wishing I had more to watch of both it made me wonder if it's possible to tell what kind of a person someone is by what TV they watch. You know, like the way sporty people watch sports, and idiots watch reality TV.

I thought I'd give you guys a list of all the shows I've watched to fandom and see what you think.

I've watched EVERY episode of:
Dollhouse (two seasons in total)
Being Human (two seasons so far)
Supernatural (nearly five seasons so far)
Glee (one season so far)
Skins (four seasons so far)
Firefly (one season :( )
The 4400 (four seasons in total)
The Big Bang Theory (nearly three seasons so far)
The O.C. (four seasons in total)
True Blood (two seasons so far)

I lost interest in:
One Tree Hill (in it's seventh season... oy)
Chuck (in it's third season)

I'm catching up with:
Heroes (watched season one)
Battlestar Galactica (watched seasons one to three but need to rewatch)
Flash Forward (need to rewatch them)
Eli Stone
30 Rock
Cougar Town
Warehouse 13

I want to start watching:
How I Met Your Mother
Doctor Who (the new one, and I want to watch all of the previous generation too)
Lost (maybe...)


I also love watching dorky ghost shows, like Ghost Hunters and Most Haunted. Sshh, guilty pleasure.

I know I'm forgetting some...... tell me what I'm forgetting?

036 - New Who

Three very good friends of mine told me I had to watch the new Doctor Who, and then to report back to them.

See, I've always had a soft spot for David Tennant in everything he's done, and for the most part it was all for him that I wanted to watch the last generation Doctor. So when people started talking about a new Doctor I was mildly curious but wasn't pushed to watch. Then I was ordered to by other sceptics. I could hardly say no, could I?

And I'm glad I didn't. Say no, that is. I mean, I watched it!

I was hoping he would be cute, and I'm sure I wasn't the only one hoping he was going to be at least attractive. He isn't. Not by a long shot. Here's the thing though - I like him anyway. (Shallow? Nay!) He's not too far removed from D.T.'s version of the Doctor that it bored me, but he wasn't a direct copy of him either, which is what I was afraid of. Naturally, he has to grow into the part and everyone has to get used to him, but I think he's going to be great! And I actually want to keep watching.
