Really People?

SO disappointed by the American voting public today...I mean I GUESS I could see how they MIGHT be dazzled by the youth and flashy teeth of Apolo Ohno and his partner Julianne Hough, but in the end I thought reason and logic (hahahahahahahaha) would prevail and Joey or Laila would win Dancing With The Stars. I have been a Laila supporter this whole season but after the freestyle numbers on Monday night my vote was leaning in the Joey direction. I've been kinda ambiguous about Apolo but I just could not get behind Julianne. Maybe it's because she's 19 but when she talks you know she thinks she is the greatest thing to wear trunks and the others just might as well go home now. Even if the other professionals are lying through their teeth when they say "all the competitors here deserve to win," "everyone puts a lot of effort into this competition" at least they say it. Julianne's comments consist of how good she is and how Apolo should win because he's dancing with her. Especially as she danced around him in a lot of the early numbers. Yeah, yeah, youth and immaturity and all but I didn't like it when Tara Lipinski behaved like a spoiled twerp at the 1998 Olympics and I didn't like it from Julianne this season. (And yes, of course I think the Olympics and DWTS are comparable in serious-ness) It was amusing to see how relaxed Ian was for his returning-celebrity dance...after all the judges' comments on his tenseness. Irony thy name is all over this show...I totally would not watch it except for the professionals

Exciting new thing discovered on the trip to Middleton...Ninja Warrior!! OMG - it is the most addicting show I have ever been addicted to. 100 competitors start at Stage One, running over an obstacle course in a set amount of time. About 95-99% of the people fail the first level, but the ones who go on have four stages to pass and the physical skills required get harder. Part of the fascination is that the station G4 (145 in The Jungle) is in English but the show is narrated in Japanese, so there are long portions of unintelligable excitement with the name of the stunt in the middle...imagine: @#$^%$%^#$%-Spider Walk-#$$%%^@&*^* This is the great stuff that you will find on TV in Middleton on a Sunday at 2am. Awesome.
