this week in entertainment

i've been following some of the biggest reality shows and tv series of late and most of them has reach their respective season's end. i must say this time around, not much whomp-bham-slam moment for me in tv, reality or fiction.

let's start with the biggest.

American Idol 6
Jordin Sparks winning American Idol. Could it be anymore predictable? The moment Melinda Doolittle got voted off it was Jordin's game. Heck Blake may be original but he's nowhere close the vocal chops of prior winner Taylor Hicks, or any other idol winner for that matter. Srsly. This season of idol has been meh for me mostly, altho I still catch it every week if i can. I know. I'm obsessed. but its a singing competition! i love singing! melinda should have won she was the best there is this season. altho her winning may be predictable but it was predicted since early on and her flawless performance every week, not to mention few showstopper in between warrant her a win (my funny valentine, all time best idol performance). her leaving is a prove that people today do not appreciate good vocals anymore. how sad. really really sad. at least i do. *pats self*

meh stop acting all surprise

jordin is good and all. but something about her that is missing. i dunno what it is. i love some of her show stopping performances but i dislike the others. in fact she was pitchy throughout the competition more than blake. oh well. and the finale was so meh-worthy. i rarely get to see any top 12 performances, and even though they manage to gather most of the previous idol winner, it was STILL so poorly orchestrated. I don't really care about all those old stars that appear on idol save tony bennett.

Season 3, 4 , 5 result show finale was amazing. they were such good conclusion to a 6 months long show. but not this one.
America's Next Top Model 8

janice dickinson and I are two soulmates, only she's older

Jaslene wins. boo-hoo. i wanted natasha to win altho her covergirl photo was horrible. but throughout the show she was the best out there among the rest, learning and growing and she cracks me up.. they should really just give her the win. but i guess they need a latina girl to win, to represent america's latina population. when is an asian gonna win then? april came the closest to win, i still think she's among the prettiest to appear on ANTM. jaslene looks old sometimes and she reminds me of janice dick-whatever-sen. This season ANTM was fun and funny, but the finale was meh not only cause my favourite didn't win, but maybe i was getting bored of the same ol' same finale style.

Heroes season 1
By far the most disappointing finale. I have high hopes for heroes finale, i thought i'm going to get cliffhanging slam-dunked like lost season 1. but disappointed. srsly. its not THAT bad but ITS THE FINALE FOR GODS SAKE. in fact i was shocked and slam-dunked mentally by some of the earlier episodes in heroes, heck even some of the effects in earlier episodes were much better (5 years back - oozing with plots and effects) why oh why oh why they end it with such a tiny meenie bang. why do they have to kill nathan, i know nathan may not be dead according to speculation but it just doesn't make much sense to me. claire KNOWS that peter can regenerate, noah (mr bennett) can just fucking shoot peter and don't let claire shoot if claire is so afraid. Peter can so fly up and blow up there. Jessica can punch him out cold. ANYTHING. except killing nathan up in the sky. its so cliche, for a series that claims to have xplosive ending, sticking to cliche is not what you call explosive ending. (the renegade brother returns and sacrifice himself for the good of everyone). the battle was so weak. nowhere near the time where sylar battle peter in suresh's apartment. my heart stopped couple times there. not the final battle.

HA-HA, you can't kill me you suckers. I rock and I'm strangely hot.

it seems like the writers couldn't tie up the gaping holes in the plot when all the heroes come together. there were still nice moments. but its the overall ending idea that turns me off majorly.

however, some gold for the next season, "the guy who can see me when i look at him", hiro (I LOVE HIRO) nakamura returns to samurai-era, sylar survival - does he have other powers we don't know about?, peter and nathan - any of them survive? presumably peter, the tracker girl finds a family with cute micah, WHAT is peter's mom's power???, WHAT is the previous generation power??? what are their real plans? do they plan their children's power also, only linderman power has been revealed.

all in all heroes is a good series. the ending just.... ended it horribly for me. but still i was bamboozled so many times in so many earlier episodes and still so many questions, i MUST MUST watch season 2. good thing is the cliffhanger didn't make me jump impatiently so i can wait and let the bad taste of disappointment leave me first.

going to watch desperate housewives finale soon, and catching up with lost season 3, as well as grey's anatomy seasons. whoopee.
