Looks like NBC is churning out more reality tv for the new year starting with Superstars of Dance. This will feature master of dance genres from all over the world from countries like Argentina, China, South Africa and Australia who will compete against each other. The host of the series will be Michael Flatley from Lords of the Dance fame.

We’re talkin’ real dancers, so it will be more like Olympic Dancing. According to the NBC Executive Vice President of Alternative Programming, Craig Plestis, “The physical feats these athletes and artists pull are mind-blowing.” It will debut on Sunday, January 4 at 9/8 for two hours.

Because The Estate of Panic is extra scary and gross and tension-filled. This week the seven contestants had to scour through garbage which reminded me of the Star Wars scene where the three main characters get stuck in a garbage hole complete with shrinking walls and stinking garbage.

The second part involved looking for loot in a dark room filled with raw meat and animal body parts. They couldn’t see so a few of them ended up with paper and lettuce instead of money.
Now down to three people, they had the scariest competition. They had to climb through sewer holes filled with money, crabs, spiders, and falling ceilings.
The last part is the one person challenge located in a vault. This one isn’t necessarily creepy just intense because of the time limit and the hand and leg cuffs. I tend to fast forward through this part because it’s not as entertaining to me.

Momma’s Boy will premiere after the finale of Biggest Loser on Tuesday, December 16 at 10/9 according to the NBC web site. Ryan Seacrest is the Executive Producer (along with Andrew Glassman from Average Joe fame) and wants us to question, “Who is the most important woman in a man’s life?”
Jojo and his Mom
Robert and his Mom
Michael and his Mom

The women will have to get the approval of the mothers first which will make for much drama and tension. I can only guess the girls the guys choose will probably not be the ones the moms pick. The guys will get to live with the women too. Sounds like fun for the sons along with plenty of pressure from the moms.

Whiny Corrine said on tonight’s Survivor, “I’m in a camp of mutants.” Well, now she’s gone from the camp because the mutants voted her off. Even her final statement showed her lack of finesse on how to play the game. She was way too arrogant to be a Survivor winner and now that’s she on the jury, I’ll bet she’ll be a bitter, unforgiving juror.

According to Corrine Kaplan’s Survivor web site, she’s 29 years old and “couldn’t care less what people think of her”. It also stated that “she has no filter” and that personality trait was obvious from day 1 in Gabon.

Jeff Probst is busier than usual these days. Mainly because he has a new show in the making.

Live Like You’re Dying will star a terminally ill person who wants to do one more thing before he kicks the bucket. “Whatever it is that you’re still desiring to do in your life, we want to make it happen,” he was quoted as saying on www.hollywoodinsider.ew.com when promoting the show. He also wanted to emphasize the fact that the stories will be about living and should be an inspiration and not depressing.
Production on the pilot will start in January after the latest Survivor (18? wow) has finished.

The most bleeped “actor” on the Elimination series, Scream Queens, got the ax the other night.

She also cried to the judges about not getting Leading Lady status a few days before she was eliminated. A very young 21 year old from San Diego, she is currently a hostess/actor. She is a beautiful young woman with a gorgeous body but unfortunately wasn’t Scream Queen Material.

Tanedra the 28 year old Hooters Waitress,

Michelle the 21 year old student/pageant queen,

and Lindsay the 23 year old Former Child Star are the last ones screaming. My money is on Lindsay the former child star for the win.

According to an interview from the Associated Press, Bret confessed,” My hair is combined of my hair and the finest extensions Europe has to offer.” Now that’s a refreshingly honest answer. Now what about that eyeliner?

Since his breakup with Ambre, Bret has decided to take his love on the road with the third installment of Rock of Love Bus with Bret Michaels. Bret is still looking for someone he can pal around with because according to him, “True love is not going to be found instantly on a TV show.” So we can only guess as to why he’s doing the show for the third time.

This season will show the contestants vying for his affection while on a month long tour across America with his band. The show will premiere in early 2009.

The crocodile tears were running down Lacey’s face on the latest Rock of Love Charm School. Boohoo! The orangey-red head tried to show how remorseful she was by singing a song and later apologizing for the havoc she had raised in the Charm School household. As if she didn’t know how hurtful she was being. Give me a break!

In an online interview with Lacey Connor given by BuddyTV, she shows her true colors. Lacey stated, “I found that being the villain and kind of messing with people is a really good strategy as far as looking at it from the point of view that it’s a competition.”
What could be worse than that? Well, Jessica was upset because all the women told her she didn’t need Charm School. And then SHE cried because she said she was misunderstood? Why would she want to think of herself as a Charm School car wreck? Uh, let me guess? For the $100,000 prize at the end?

Starting in last place, Dan and Andrew began this leg of the race with a dousing of rainwater from a puddle by the side of the road while waiting for a taxi. Then, the taxi they did find took them to the wrong park 40 minutes away. This leg was in Moscow, which is the largest European city making for lots of territory to cover. But they caught a break when a local helped Andrew find all the Lenin and Stalin statues. The speed bump they had to perform was made for them because it was dancing. Soooo funny! It was also good luck for them when the Mother and Son lost their money and passport.

They actually ended up in 2nd place and are now in the final three. Next week’s finale should be good.

All the closeness is wearing on one of the eliminated teams waiting in Mexico. Or I should say part of one team; Tyrone (in particular) is having a hard time spending a long time with his partner Aja. It appears her charm is wearing thin. He doesn’t even want her near him. Uh oh…

According to the Amazing Race web site, the couple’s bio states, “They feel that the Race will help determine if they can truly handle living together on a daily basis.” Well, by the looks of things the experiment is a bust.
The hippie couple is still wearing their tie dye. Let’s hope they have a change of clothes?
At this point it’s been almost a month since they have seen their loved ones.
