Rescue Me 4.01 Spoilers

This episode should air in summer of 2007.

The episode opens with Jerry jogging, who has apparently recovered from his stroke. Jerry is pretty happy and stops to pet a dog who then bites his hand, the owner offers no apologies. Then we see Lou at an early mass and still with the nun Theresa, who seems to have left her duties as one. We find out that they are only at church to sneak sex during mass because it thrills Theresa.

Franco is still with Natalie and appears to be living with her and Richie at Natalie's place.

Cousin Eddie is at a doctor's office going over some blood test results that are "positive". There is also a shot of Sheila's life insurance policy with Tommy's name on it. This information seems to satisfy Eddie.

Tommy is at the firehouse and is on the phone with Janet who had had the baby. Tommy is giving Janet advice about adding a little medicine in the baby's bottle to calm him down. Janet isn't sure this is the best idea but Tommy assures her that its fine and if she were breastfeeding she'd be passing medicines on to the baby anyway. Janet hangs up as she mentions they still have no heat in the place. Everyone at the firehouse is giving Tommy strange looks.

The crew arrives on a call at an empty warehouse where a guy tells Lou that there is a group of cats stuck at the top and need to be rescued. While on the call, Tommy and Sean discuss Maggie's taste in porn, which usually ran other men away.

Tommy is talking with the guys about how he hasn't had sex in a while because of all the baby stuff and they have no hot water in the house. A guy named Espo (new guy perhaps?) tells the guys that the basketball hoops have arrived as he is turning the basement into a full basketball court. Tommy isn't happy because he thought they were going to do a hockey rink and a work out area instead. They all tell Tommy that it was decided in a vote they had that Tommy was too distracted to be aware of. Then Tommy finds the remnants of the baby boy naming pool that the guys had, looks like James was the favorite among the guys.

NEW Veronica Mars Tonight!

All you amazing spoiler readers, will you please do me a favor and watch Veronica Mars tonight at 9pm et/pt on the CW tonight? Unless you plan to watch the State of the Union, there are absolutely no other shows on tonight and I think the world can sacrifice one hour of American Idol auditions. Veronica Mars is one of the best shows on TV and it is returning from a long hiatus to start a new mystery arc, so this is the perfect time to jump in and give the show a try. Even if you usually watch something else at this time on Tuesdays, your show won't be on tonight and even if you only watch Veronica Mars this once there are many ways to catch up at a later time. Just do me this favor and watch Veronica Mars tonight! I'll be happy to answer any questions or discuss the show with you. You won't be sorry, I promise!

The OC 2.16 Spoilers

This episode will air February 22, 2007 and is the series finale.

I have to start off this post by saying that the season finale spoilers on the OC have usually been very wrong, as the writers like to write up some fiction to lead the spoilers in the wrong direction. However, nothing in these spoilers to follow is too earth shattering and does not give away the ending or anything like that, so I'm going to have faith that these are going to be accurate.

Taylor is at the airport and talking to a customs agent. The agent asks her if she is there for business or pleasure and Taylor has a very long answer about how its both business and pleasure. Taylor mentions how she is on the other side of the Atlantic ocean at this point and is there for a funeral.

Veronica is talking with a building inspector at her house about the some damage the house has received. The inspector tells Veronica that the house is too damaged to be repaired and she will either need to sell the lot or rebuild. Veronica does not seem to understand this and thinks money will change the inspector's mind.

Taylor and Veronica are at a house in San Diego, apparently a house that they had live in before. Both the ladies seem to think that the person who currently occupies the house is going to let them buy back the house. This guy is named Patrick and he says he isn't going to move. Taylor mentions how her handprints are in the concrete and this softens Patrick up a bit but he still isn't budging.

A young southern guy who is a lot like Bullitt hits on Kaitlin. She isn't that impressed and the guy retreats.

Friday Night Lights 1.18 Spoilers

The episode should air in spring, 2007.

Tim gets woken up by a kid named Bo who's playing football outside his window and singing. Tim tells the kid to be quiet but then the kid says he lives next door and knows all about Tim, his stats and everything. Tim then goes back to bed.

Tim sees Bo playing in the street while he is working on his truck. Bo asks Tim to play some football with him and Tim says he's busy. But then Tim notices that Bo really could use the help and companionship. Plus some teenagers almost run Bo over and yell names at him. Tim decides to help throw the ball around with the kid.

Later on Jackie's son Bo comes home late and him mom is now worried. Tim says its ok, they have been playing some football together. Bo is really excited and sounds like he had a great time so Jackie isn't too upset at this point. Bo then asks if Tim can stay for dinner. Tim and Jackie are a little hesitant but eventually agree.

Meanwhile, Tami is getting ready to attend some UT function and it seems like Julie has to hang out with Buddy Garrity. Later on it seems like something has happened as Julie calls Tami to come help her with someone who is bleeding.

Dinner goes well for Bo, Jackie and Tim. Bo is very excited to show Tim all kind of stuff and gives him a small school picture to keep. Tim mentions to Jackie that she needs to do some work on the house and she mentions that she doesn't have a lot of time. Jackie also asks about why nobody lives at Tim's house and he tells her its just him and his brother. Dinner ends and Jackie watches Tim head back home.

Matt, Julie and Landry are at the hospital in the waiting room. Landry then declares that he thinks Tyra is interested in him.

Edited to clarify: Coach and Tami appear to attend the UT function together because Coach recieves a phone call from Alan inviting him somewhere for that evening. Coach seems happy about this phone call.

Smash is a bit dressed up when he leaves the house, which his mother comments on. Smash says he is just going to the diner but confesses that he is picking up Waverly on the way.

When Smash is apparently picking up Waverly the pastor asks him something to which Smash contemplates replying with some midnight swim that took place. He decides against brining it up. Pastor asks Smash a "favor" to keep an eye on Waverly and to let him know he he picks up on anything. Smash does NOT know what this is about but decides to keep his questions to himself. Smash then sees Waverly and she looks beautiful. Smash has no idea what could be wrong.

Julie has to call Tami and asks her not to be angry with her at the moment and to just please come right away. It is a woman who is bleeding and is getting stitches. Tami is not pleased as she hangs up the phone but is on the way.

Friday Night Lights 1.17 Spoilers

I just discovered the beauty and genius of this show and to my surprise I am able to obtain spoilers for it. I apologize for not being able to have spoilers for a soon to be shown episode but I can offer some spoilage!

This episode should air in spring, 2007.

Jason likes the design and as the previous moment is almost forgotten.

My Plea to America

This is a break from the normal spoiler posts that I write to talk about something that I feel particularly strong about. Please humor me by reading the post below and know that we will get back to spoilers very soon. Thank you in advance.

Unless you live under a rock you know that America Idol starts next week. And in order to prepare the masses for what is sure to be a very popular season, I am here to enlighten the television viewing audience and put in a plea to save our collective dignity.

Please do not watch the audition shows. Its as simple as that. If you love the show or are just a casual viewer please do not tune into the American Idol until at least the Hollywood round starts. I can't believe that 30 million of my fellow citizens continue to tune in and have a nice big laugh at other people's expense. I am disgusted that as a society we continue to act this way and I am here to do my part to put a stop to it.

This is the sixth season for American Idol and the audition round and seriously it is not funny anymore. We have all seen the bad singers, the ones with delusions of their singing ability and we have all heard the judge's comments, particularly Simon's. Do you realize that these contestants have been chosen to be put in front of the camera? There is an initial audition round that everyone must go through that is just in front of producers and those that are really good and particularly bad make the cut. So when Simon, Randy and Paula roll their eyes and expasperate about how their time is being wasted, its all a come on. The judges know what's coming and even have insults prepared. Its all a set up to get you to tune in and boost the ratings. Also at this point most the people who are getting made fun of on TV know what's coming. Its all an act to get their face on TV and their 5 seconds of fame. The ones who really do not understand that they do not posses any talent at singing are clearly delusional and will get their hearts broken in front of millions of people. Those are the people who make my heart hurt because their dreams got stomped on in front of the world.

Those of you who profess that you watch the show only in the audition period, just to get those laughs at someone else's expense and choose to skip out once the cheesy competition begins, you are the worst offender because it is you who encourages FOX and the America Idol producers to continue this disgusting charade and not just get to the point of the show which is supposed to be a singing competition.

Some of you are going to tell me you watch the auditions for the good people, to perhaps pick out the eventual winner of American Idol, and I do respect you position. But I have to tell you that they hold back audition clips of many of the 32 final contestants and you will see everyone good at the Hollywood rounds. You will not be missing a thing by skipping 5 weeks of humiliation.

Others are going to tell me you just don't take the show that serious and that you just watch for fun and its ok to laugh everyone once in while. I'm not going to lie and say I'm above all this, I'm a curious person and I'll check something out if everyone is talking about it, I'm not a saint and I do not profess to be. But seriously, none of this is new or even remotely interesting or funny. The shock factor is gone and people are seriously looking forward to unwinding in front of the TV and making fun of someone else for two hours. You are not going to hear one comment you have not already heard or miss out on anything noteworthy. By continuing to watch the audition rounds you are telling FOX and all the the television industry that this is ok and that putting this type of crap on television is what will get you to watch and increase ratings. Think about all the scripted shows you liked that were cancelled and part of the reason is because this type of television is being watched and is very cheap to produce. FOX has built their entire network and strategic plan around American Idol as well as showing weeks and hours of meaningless and pitiful audition rounds. When in its place could be more episodes of a show that was cancelled or a new pilot that might catch on a become a big hit. You can't be an ignorant viewer and think that your viewership doesn't mean all that much, because it means a great deal in the grand scheme of things.

Are we going to tell the world this is who we are as a society? Is this as low as we are going to go in the name of entertainment? Please tell me that someone else out there feels the same way as me. I can't be the only person who is embarrassed to be an American Idol viewer. Who is going to help me step up and be a bigger person and inspire change? And who is going to put their foot down and tell the networks that our time will not be wasted on this? I hope I hear from someone else who refuses to watch the audition rounds.

The rumor is the cast will comprise 2 from RR Extreme, 2 from RR South Pacific, 1 from Campus Crawl and 1 from Semester at Sea. There is some differing opinions as to who these people are but it seems 3 are pretty much assured. Those would be Veronica from Semester at Sea, Derrick from Extreme and Abram from South Pacific.

The OC 2.15 Spoilers

Super Bowl XLI Odds

As the football season comes to a close and we enter the playoff chapter of the season, I thought I would share the current odds and offer some predictions. Odds are courtesy of bodog.com.

12-5 San Diego Chargers
18-5 Baltimore Ravens
9-2 Chicago Bears
13-2 New Orleans Saints
7-1 New England Patriots
10-1 Indianapolis Colts
10-1 Philadelphia Eagles
21-1 Seattle Seahawks
23-1 Dallas Cowboys
25-1 Kansas City Chiefs
38-1 New York Giants
40-1 New York Jets

My take on these odds: First of all its mental that the Patriots have better odds than the Colts who handily beat them. The Pats also struggled against the Jets and other lesser opponents this year. I'm not convinced New England is going to win the game this week and these odds are more than over confident in them. San Diego is the clear favorite in the AFC but they have zero playoff experience, this usually come back to hunt teams in the later stages of the playoffs. Although Indy has struggled, this could be the time for them to piece together some decent games and find themselves in Miami. For some reason I'm still not impressed with Baltimore, who will find some way to falter. I'll pick Indy at this time and I absolutely love the odds for the Jets who are getting no love, they are a good roll the dice bet on a team that's better than most people think.

As for the NFC, Chicago is the clear favorite and I wouldn't exactly bet against them. However, New Orleans is playing well this season and can surprise a lot of people. But the problem of playoff inexperience may come back to bit them just like the Chargers. I absolutely am not impressed with any of the teams from the NFC East but if I had to choose one it would be Dallas. I just don't believe the facade the Eagles have built up and its going to crash sooner than later. I like the odds on the Cowboys too for a good value pick. Seattle just looked bad the last month but they do have the experience and could make it further than people expect.

If I had to put my money on one team right now it would be the Colts. 10-1 are great odds and they do have the talent and experience to put a run together.

Next Real World Location

There is a good chance that the next Real world location to begin filming in 2007 will be in Sydney, Australia. Casting is underway and passports are a requirement. Some other possible locations include Detroit, Washington DC, Atlanta and Montreal.

RW/RR Duel Winner Spoilers

Word is out now on who are the final pairs in the current airing edition of the Real World/ Road Rules challenge The Duel. There will be 2 guys and 2 girls left standing to battle each other. The final pairs are Brad vs. Wes for the male crown and Jodi vs. Svetlana for the female title. Wes and Jodi end up winning.

Amazing Race All-Stars final 3?

Wrapping up the spoilers on the upcoming season of Amazing Race, there is evidence to suggest the final 3 of the All-Stars cast. A plane from Guam to Hawaii contained many of the racers and producers but did not include the Beauty Queens, Charla & Mirna and Eric & Danielle. This could quite possibly mean that there are 2 female teams in the finals. Other evidence shows that the final 4-6 placing is Danny & Oswald, Uchenna & Joyce, and Guidos in that order. The series will begin in February and I can't wait!

The OC 4.14 Spoilers

This episode should air early 2007.

Sandy and Kirsten are talking to Spitz and some girl named Kari who is explaining how she was a big party sorority girl in the past but is happy now that she is pregnant. There is also someone else (Summer?) at some bithing classes talking to other pregnant woman.

Survivor 13 Episode 14 Spoilers

The final week has arrived and for the final Thursday show we will eliminate one survivor and take the final 5 into the finale.

In this episode the rewaed challenge is a very muddy paired up obstacle course involving water (aren't they all?) and the duo of Ozzy and Parvati wins handily. The two get sent away to freshen up and eat as Parvati hopes to talk strategy. It looks like Yul and maybe one other gets sent to exile. It looks like Parvati wins immunity as well which is not held under water for once and also includes a puzzle. This result would send Adam home. There is also a chance Adam wins the immunity and the fab 4 sends Parvati packing. The nonsense of getting rid ofOzzy is just that, nonsense.

For the finale the fina lboot order is supposed to go: Adam, Ozzy, Becky, Yul and Sundra.

Big Amazing Race All-Stars Spoiler

So the Amazing Race All-Satrs edition is about to wrap filming and while I do not know the identity of the final 3, I have uncovered a huge spoiler regarding who some of the final teams will be. You have been warned because this will reveal quite a bit of information!

Ok, now that we got the disclaimer out of the way, I can tel lyou that 4 of the final 5 teams were spotted in Malaysia over the weeked. Photographed evidence shows that those teams are Charla/Mirna (cousins), Danny/Oswald (season 2), Dustin/Kandice (beauty queens) and a new hybrid team of Eric/Danielle who were one of the alpha males and "double d's" a couple seasons ago and are now a couple. Word is also that the 5th team was an African-American couple who were behind the pack.

Regarding the route, it sounds like the teams went to Ecuador, Argentina, perhaps Antactica (fingers crossed), South Africa, Poland, and now Malaysia. If they are doing the 7 continents theme then there probably is only time to visit Australia before heading back to North Ameirca for the finale.

Stay tuned for more updates and especially when CBS officially releases the cast and the premiere date is announced, suposedly February. I can't wait!

One Tree Hill 4.12 Spoilers

Jonathan then says that its not the sex Rachel likes, its that she wants to feel loved. Rachel says no, she just really likes sex. Jonathan asks Rachel if they can just talk and Rachel agrees. She asks him about his last girlfriend and Jonathan says that she cheated on him with his best friend.

Survivor 13 Epiosde 13 Spoilers

Its really the family episode this time as each of the remaining contestants has a family member help them in the reward challenge. It looks to be some sort of blind fold game where the family member helps the survivor retrieve something from the ocean. Its pretty obvious that Pavarti and her father win the challenge and get to go on some sort of luxury day trip with waterfalls. Pavarti sends Johnathan packing to exile island. For the immuntiy challenge its another water based obstacle course and it looks like Ozzy wins this one. Speculation is that Pavarti is the one getting the boot tonight but we know it aint anyone from Aitu.
