While the strike may be over, we are still weeks away from most of our favorite shows returning to the air in limited new episodes. In the meantime we are saddled with a ton of reality shows like American Idol, Big Brother 9, Survivor, and Project Runway. Don’t worry though, we still have plenty of time to talk about Lost and newbies like Eli Stone and Unhitched. Plus, Kath gives you an update on where she is in the process of watching all 7 seasons of Buffy before the end of March. Good times.

I’m barely watching. That’s the big shocker. I could care less this season. It’s just not the Big Brother that I know and love and it makes it hard to care about anyone that’s more concerned with getting a blowjob from their bedmate than playing the game. I know it’s odd to think of Big Brother as a game but it is and I don’t want to watch people screw their way through the competition while never trying to actual strategize or manipulate or think about anything. I’m annoyed.
That being said. I’ve actually only watched 2 full episodes so far this season. Sad but true. Joshuah is a bore and a bitch. His new partner Sharon is annoying beyond belief. James is a big mo and his partner Chelsia is a big bore. Natalie and Matt are too busy giving and getting head to actually play. Adam and Sheila still want to kill each other. In fact the only good thing about the season so far is that Adam has been fired rom his job and he doesn’t even know it. I heart that! Who else is left? Who cares…
While I was away on vacation it came out that James from Big Brother 9 has quite the gay porn past. Seems like while riding around the world on that bike of his he did a few favors to earn some cash… I’ve got the pictures to prove it courtesy of some web savvy porn friends and a site called dirtyboyvideo.
The very unsafe for work, very X-rated gay porn pictures are after the jump… (more…)
Wow. Really, ya had to go there? Watch for yourself. E-to the-VIL!
If you’re at all confused, here’s the sitch… what’s her tits Dad killed himself and apparently she revealed that to the house and then he uses that as the punchline to a joke? Seriously?
The BIG BROTHER 9 Premiere just ended and while I love having the show back it went by WAY too fast, right? I needed more time to get to know the contestants and esp. those pretty boy gays, Joshua and Neil.
The WGA Strike continues well into the Day 90s so the television landscape is like no winter we’ve seen before. Kath and I are back to talk about Lost’s return as well as the return of American Idol.
Also on the agenda are Friday Night Lights, Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles, Prison Break, American Gladiators, Paradise Hotel, Project Runway, Torchwood, Pushing Daisies, Comic-Con 2008 and much more.

Last night I posted the pictures of the 16 house guests that would be camping out in the new Big Brother 9 house and today the new “twist” was revealed.
This is the first season in Big Brother history where every contestant is SINGLE. duh duh duuuuh…. OMG, can you imagine… this is shocking! I kid. Who cares, right? Like being single stopped anyone from hooking up last season *cough* Dani and Nick I’m looking at you!
All 16 house guests are being matched with their “soul mate” on the show and paired with that person for the duration (or for a couple weeks at least) of the season. That means, HOH together and EVICTED together.
According to the Press Release:
When this group of 16 singles enters the house, they will be told they are being matched up with their “soul mate,” a stranger who may prove to be their true love or their worst nightmare. Whether there is a love connection or not, once paired up, the Houseguests’ life in the game depends on their partner. They must strategize, plot and scheme together as a couple for a chance at the prize. These “lovebirds” will live together as a couple meaning they will sleep in the same bed, hold Head of Household as a couple, be nominated for eviction as a pair, and if the time comes, say their goodbyes together upon eviction.
So we have a really short season ahead of us, right? WTF! I don’t really care for this twist but whatevs. I’m still happy to have BB back in my life. Now, there has to be one gay couple right? Who do we think it is? Guesses?
Based on appearance alone, here’s my BB9 TV Boyfriend. Joshuah! It’s that smile, I can’t stand it! Watch him turn out to be a huge douche. That will suck.
*UPDATE: Joshuah and Neil are the two gay contestants in the house this season and will be paired up as soulmates. That’s hot.
Thanks to TVGuide for leaking the pictures of the new BIG BROTHER contestants. That’s right folks, it’s winter but we’re about to embark on a new winter themed version of our summer obsession. Big Brother 9 starts February 12th (I believe) and the Chenbot returns as host.
Here are our newest group of exhibitionists house guests. Click on each picture for a larger view and their names.
Wow, check out the boobs on that Natalie! So gross. Boston’s represented in 2 players so that’s always fun. I’m finding Joshuah’s smile to be damned adorable. As for the rest, I’m sure I’ll love and hate them all at some point. Bring on Big Brother!
Happy New Year and welcome to TV in 2008 — something the likes you’ve never seen before. The WGA Strike has completely changed the landscape of television for the upcoming winter/spring season and we’re here to dish about it.
Dan and Kath are back for TV Podcast #18 and while shows are still new we’re covering the latest from Friday Night Lights, Gossip Girl, The Amazing Race, and Project Runway.

JERICHO fans just went nuts all over again! CBS just unveiled the return date for the 7 episode Season 2 of it’s resurrected from the dead JERICHO. Tuesday, February 12th at 10pm.
A special strike edition winter edition of reality fave BIG BROTHER 9 kicks into gear that same night at 9 p.m.
IT’s Friday morning and it’s damp, cold, and downright miserable here in Boston so I thought I’d chat about some news tidbits given that I didn’t see any television last night. Well, that’s not entirely true. When I got home at midnight I started watching SUPERNATURAL but couldn’t keep my eyes open. Being at work for 16 hours will do that to you.
Let’s start with some SUPERNATURAL news. Obviously there’s the whole Katie Cassidy tried to impersonate someone else to protect her “high profile” acting career after being a drunken mess and underage.
Then, did you hear about this? Apparently SUPERNATURAL is big with the Troops! Could it be all the violence, the hot girls, or the hot boys?
According to TVGuide:
Jensen and Jared were honored on Veterans Day in Chicago, Army Master Sgt. Kevin Wise, First Special Forces out of Baghdad, presented the actors with congratulatory letters and Special Forces coins. It seems the CW series is one of the most popular — some say the No. 1 — DVD request from military members over there. According to a letter Sgt. Wise read, watching the demon-killing Winchester brothers helps soldiers forget the stress of war and reminds them of family and home.
I’ve never asked my brother if he’s into the show… he’s all GI Joe and all so this would be good to know. That’s pretty frakkin’ cool huh? Go Jensen and Jared. Though to be honest, I’m a little peeved at my Supernatural contacts for not spilling that scoop to us earlier.
So up in Vancouver where they film Supernatural, it appears that a number of shows are closing shop this week and telling their actors to get lost. BIONIC WOMAN and BATTLESTAR GALACTICA are ceasing to continue production. Battlestar needs no more barriers… seriously can we just get our final season already! Damn.
Project Runway’s 4th Season Premiere killed over at Bravo! It was the highest rated show on Bravo ever. It’s all because of Tim Gunn, let’s be honest folks. He makes it work. See how I snuck that in, “make it work”… ah, good times.
One of my summer faves, BIG BROTHER has started casting for Season 9 which CBS is not confirming will begin this winter (thanks to the strike). If you’re interested in joining that hamster cage in L.A. now’s the time to submit your application. The Chenbot Lives Even In The Winter!
And finally today, I’ll throw in a huge sigh of relief and excitement over the fact that TLC has asked the ever perky and punctual PAIGE DAVIS back as Host of Trading Spaces. To be honest, Spaces has not been the same since she’s been gone. If we could only find a way to get rid of Frank, it would be the perfect show again. Bring back Doug and Vern too! If anyone questions my love and infatuation with Page and the Trading Spaces of old, you can surely find a Boston Globe article with me in it as a super fan. God that’s gay.
I’m still gobsmacked that Dick won BIG BROTHER 8 over his daughter Daniele but whatevs, it was a great summer. Here is the interview of Evel Dick and Daniele Donato from the CBS Early Show.
Watch Big Brother 8 Winner Dick Donato on CBS Morning Show
BIG BROTHER 8 proved one thing, good does not always beat EVEL… DICK that is.Evel Dick Donato has won Big Brother 8 and to be honest, I am shocked.
Daniele has proven that she was in this game to win it. She was the new Janelle. She won almost every competition you put her into. She tied Jani for the most wins in a single season. She was hard to beat and so many Jury members acknowledged that so I’m dumbfounded to see them vote for Dick.
Don’t get me wrong, Dick worked some magic and some hatred and some strategy never before seen but I still feel that when it boils down to it, Dani was the one winning it all and putting a great number of the plans into motion. I’m surprised, that’s all.
Regardless, BIG BROTHER 8 stood its ground and proved that it’s not just a guilty summer pleasure. What would we have done without Amber’s crying, or Amber’s stupidity, or Amber’s lying drug addicted past? Jessica proved to be another player that surprised me to no end. When she entered the house she came off as a spoiled ditsy cheerleader with no brains and by week 6 she had come out swinging. I ended up loving her before the season was over. Jameka took many a hit on the chin but girl kept it real and worked it out for much longer than any of us expected. Jen, how can we forget the resident Jenius? To be fair, the girl made for some brilliant TV, you have to give her that.
Alas, Big Brother’s end signifies the final nail in the coffin that is summer. We move on to Fall programming and with Top Model premiering tomorrow night, I say AMEN!
