This is the 49 year old before he went on the show

and this,

is Jerry experiencing Survivor while being sick.

All the enthusiasm and positive thinking can’t help you when you get sick and on Survivor it’s usually the last nail in your coffin.

Timbira tribe member Jerry Sims, a 49 year old 1st Sergeant and specialist in Nuclear Operations, just came back from a stint in Afghanistan and thought being on Survivor would be a great way to make a million dollars but when his stomach pains took a turn for the worse, he let everyone know he wasn’t feeling well and that was all the tribe needed. This was great news for Erinn who thought she was a goner.

He’s going to miss the possible alliance which was forming between Taj, Brendan (now with the immunity idol), Stephen, and Sickly Sierra. It sounds like a great way to use the time on Exile Island.

Ghost Hunters International discovered some haunted happenings in the City of Lights. Team members Robb Demerest, Dustin Pari, Brandon Green, Jo Chin, newly engaged Angela Alderman, and Barry Fitzgerald got a chance to visit the underworld of Paris and found nothing paranormal. They did hear sounds from manhole covers that could have been mistaken for scary voices but the tunnels made them sound like they could be from anywhere.

A Chateau in Bordeaux, France was another matter entirely. The group actually spent the entire night in the beautiful and eerie house and found visual evidence of a white mist in one of the investigators bedrooms, someone saying get out, and calling out a name; Pierre. Their equipment also malfunctioned a few times also. This one is worth watching but unfortunately the Paris tunnels were a dud.

The season finale will be on Wednesday on the SciFi Channel at 9/8.

Dave Mordal got wet this week on Wreckreation Nation at the Swamp Buggy Races in Naples, Florida. The water track is the only official Swamp Buggy track in the country. He tried out a jeep and a race car in the water and immediately got “mud in his blood” according to Barefoot Bobby Sullivan who let him try out his cool looking racer.

2008-9 Swamp Buggy Queen Olivia Kathryn Culp

The day was filled with muddy water and loud noise and ended with the good-natured dunking of the Swamp Queen, Olivia Kathryn Culp an 18 year old graduate of Gulf Coast High School.

Heather Ortega drove the Terminator to an easy victory over Barefoot Bobby Sullivan in the V6 Class Championship and Dave Mordal came in last in the first race and fourth in his second race.

Host Dave Mordal always looks like he has a blast and I love to see all the fun and quirky hobbies and competitions Americans create. Bring ‘em on!

Wreckreation Nation can be seen on Discovery Channel, Tuesdays at 10.

The delicious Tyson Beckford (who also hosts his own auto show) will be host and mentor to the male models on the second season of Make Me a Supermodel. It will premiere on Wednesday, March 4 at 10/9 on BravoTV. Australian supermodel Nicole Trunfio (who is currently seen in Gap and BCBG ads) will mentor the female models. Former host Niki Taylor will be missed. She had an unpretentious and easy-going manner about her.

Judge Catherine Malandrino

The judges are new also: Designer Catherine Malandrino, model and mechanic Jenny Shimizu, photographer Perou and international model scout Marlon. For more info on everyone new on the show click here: Bios on judges, hosts and mentors

The contestants will compete for $100,000. and a New York Model Management contract. It sounds like a new season with new faces. 

Jillian, the next Bachelorette?

Jason Mesnick and almost all the women (excluding Molly and Melissa) were present at the Women Tell All show Monday night and Host Chris Harrison was on a roll. WOW! I had never seen him so animated and he asked some really good questions.

Asking Natalie why she was wearing jewelry when she stated that she wasn’t into jewelry? Hilarious.

Asking Jason about what happened in the tent? First Base Jason? I have never made it to first base and ended up with the boyfriends clothes on after…Good job Chris!

And grilling Jason about his soft core porn hot tubbin’ episode with Jillian? lol

And I also loved it when you asked Jillian if she would like to be the next Bachelorette. I hope this works out. She’s a quirky and enjoyable person to watch just cut out the side ponytail. ugh

I don’t care for Jason anyway so I’m not into the ‘ooh, who is he picking and then dumping?’ kinda thing. I just enjoy the show, period. The bloggers who are going crazy with theories about what happens and calling Chris Harrison a pimp need to get a life. For more on his thoughts please click here. He’s great!

30 Rock Liz ”Reality TV” Quote Mug
From 30 Rock Season 2, Episode 12 Subway Hero : ”If reality TV has taught us anything, it’s that you can’t keep people with no shame down.” - Liz Lemon

What makes a person truly beautiful inside? Kindness? Empathy? The ability to work with others? Not to mention a rockin’ body on the outside? That’s what worked for True Beauty winner, Julia Anderson last night on the season finale.

Born and raised in Dallas, the 23 year old is a former pageant winner is a dancer/performer/magician’s assistant with plenty of southern charm and grace. She beat out Joel the perfectly chiseled Adonis with enough confidence for two people and Billy (my fav) the slightly older (yah, 31 is ancient) yet extremely handsome vitamin store owner from Idaho.

True Beauty Winner Julia Anderson

True Beauty runners-up; Joel “looks good naked workout routine” Rush and Billy “vitamin smoothie” Jeffrey.

I don’t know how they can make a successful second season because the hidden camera premise is out of the bag but kudo’s to Tyra Banks and Ashton Kutcher for their attempts at a more thoughtful reality show.

Mel and Mike

On the second episode of the Amazing Race, Father/Son Team, Mel and Mike, thought they were goners when all the other teams ran down the hill instead of waiting for the winds to change in the ParaGliding/Run Down the Hill Challenge. Yes, I’d rather watch the Amazing Race rather than the Oscars. The dad chose to do the challenge because he thought all he would have to do is fly through the air to the bottom of the hill without having to strain his groin muscle even further. And yes, I also hate writing about elderly men’s groin muscles.

I also hate writing about how inspirational Luke is! Yes, he’s deaf. Get over it! He’s trying to say he’s no different than anyone else so let him be like everyone else and stop pointing it out.

Steve and Linda

What I will write about is how sad it was to watch Linda get lost going down the hill at the first challenge. She looked like a lost lamb from the first episode and I hope she and Steve enjoyed themselves on the show.

The Bachelor Host, Chris Harrison

Chris Harrison was interviewed in this week’s Entertainment Weekly 2/27/09 by Lindsay Soll. He was asked “Burning Questions”? I found them very easy fluff questions, in my humble opinion.

Like,

(1) they make the ‘girls’ have options for evening wear on the first night so they won’t wear the same thing as another ‘girl’. Their stylist Cary Fetman goes to each room and makes suggestions.

(2) The producers purposely put women who aren’t getting along a group date, so the bachelor can see that for himself.

(3) What do the women do all day when they aren’t on a date? They work out, lay out by the pool…blah, blah, blah.

(4) The producer always know who the guy is kicking out so they decide the order for added drama.

(5) The taping lasts for 2 months. The exotic dates are an entire week and the hometown dates are a full day.

But, why didn’t she ask;

(1) Why wasn’t there one woman of color this season? Is Jason a racist? Was it the producers responsibility?

(2) Do they purposely pick women with drinking problems (at least one a season)?

(3) How much of this is scripted? Do you nudge the guy towards keeping the insane ones longer for added drama?

Bridget Marquardt will star in her own show on the Travel Channel called “Bridget’s Sexiest Beaches“. She will search for the worlds sexiest beaches and go cliff diving, hang out with the locals, all while wearing a bikini of course.

Some of the spots she will cover are Australia, Florida, Spain, Croatia, Jamaica, Thailand, Hawaii, Barbados, Turks and Caicos, among others.

The show premiere’s on March 12 on the Travel Channel .

Gordon Ramsey

Will Gordon Ramsey have a heart attack? Will he be arrested for assault with a deadly filet mignon? 

Charlie the Ousted

We might never know because on this seasons Hell’s Kitchen , anything can happen. This group of contestants swear more, smoke more, hate more, and just plain don’t get along with each other and/or Gordon Ramsey.

On this weeks episode the guys won the “pick the cut of beef” contest but lost at the elimination challenge so poor inept Charlie got the boot. Next week looks like more of the same yelling with supposedly the “most controversial episode yet.” We’ll see…

Hell’s Kitchen can be seen on Thursday’s at 9 on FOX
