Eli Stone, Big Bang Theory, HIMYM, Real World Awards

Eli Stone aired 3/27/08

This week George Michael is back! But for real this time, he's hired Eli to represent a girl who has been expelled from school for playing one his songs during an abstinence rally. Apparently the principal didn't feel "I Want Your Sex" was appropriate, of course if he understood the song, he might have felt differently. Who knew that Jordan Weathersby was a George Michael fanboy? That had to be the best part of the show, Victor Garber playing a distinguished lawyer, who loves George Michael and sings Elton John. Plus, Taylor and whatshisface lawyer guy hooking up! Eli sees them singing "I Got You Babe" confronts Taylor she denies anything happening and then ends up hooking up with him. What a dumbass! This is still one of my favorite new shows of the year!

CBS Comedy night The Big Bang Theory and How I Met Your Mother 3/31/08

This week on the Big Bang Theory, Sheldon is sick and everyone else is in hiding. Poor Penny is left to deal with him. She's forced to care for him while the boys hide out in a theatre for a Planet of the Apes marathon. Disaster strikes when Leonard's glasses are broken and he must go in to the apartment without being caught by Sheldon, who has taken Penny hostage in his misery. She's rubbing vaporub on his chest and singing the Soft Kitty song. In the end Leonard is busted by Penny and she sells him out in order to make a quick escape. Sheldon is one annoying sick genius.

On How I Met Your Mother, Barney creates a bracket of the top 64 women he's hooked up with to figure out who is bad mouthing him to the women of NYC. The scene where they are going through the bracket is hilarious. "Evil twin trumps 12 hours to live!!" After tracking down the final 4, we discover a Cinderella story in the making. The mystery woman is not in the bracket! We still don't know who she is but I imagine will someday!

Plus one girl still thinks he is Ted Mosby and created a website!

The best part of the whole episode was the last minute. When Barney is writing his blog and the music that played over him as Doogie Howser came on. I laughed hard, for a few minutes. It was awesome.

Real World Awards aired 4/2/08

Lame, obviously who ever was allowed to vote on this didn't watch the first 7 season or so. Which by the way are the best. Tyrie and Davis are best fight over Kevin and Julie from season 1? Austin cast is favorite? Johnny Bananas is hottest guy? (Have they seen Jason from the Seattle cast?) Overall, it was cool to see people from the past seasons, but the awards were lame. I wish MTV would stop casting people who are competing for biggest whore, or who can consume the most alcohol without being arrested. It used to be about young people looking to the future and now it's about who can party hardest in the present. LAME!

RW/RR Challenge: The Gauntlet III, Finale

Aired 3/19/08 Spoilers if you haven't already seen it!



This concludes the crappiest challenge MTV has aired. The Veteran team dominated the challenge this season. They won 10 of the 15 challenges prior to final "Army Strong" fiasco. Most of the 5 losses were due to the guys throwing the challenge in order to "trim the fat" or get rid of some female contenders. If only they had trimmed Eric like Johnny Bananas suggested early in the game. He told them Big Easy would be dead weight and hurt them in end, and he was right.

The Army Strong challenge was a foot race along the beach in Mexico. It started with a 1/2 miles swim to shore. Once they reached the shore the teams became linked with chains and can only disconnect when instructed. There were 4 checkpoints, each one based on a previous game.

Big E could barely make the swim without the assistance of CT. How he expected to make the rest of the race is beyond me. After the 2nd checkpoint Big Easy fell and Ev, CT and others became upset with him for causing them to lose 300,000 or 30,000 per person. What is more imporant, your friends life or money? Clearly for most of these douchebags it's the money. Brad seemed to be the only one who cared that there was something wrong. The medics take Eric away, Evan rallies the vets to finish for Big Easy, even if the rooks are sipping wine and celebrating.

To the vets surprise the rooks have not yet finished the "I Dig You" checkpoint. The vets renewed with excitement manage to unearth the chest containing their flag and raise it first. However, TJ doesn't sound the horn, the rules stated that the beginning that all members of the team must complete the race to win. Because Eric didn't the vets were disqualified.

The rooks celebrate their "victory" and the vets weep sadly. It was lame finale, MTV needs to find less douche-y people to play. Bring back some old school cast members.

Coming soon on MTV, The Hills 3.5
