Must See TV

by Marilyn on May 4, 2006

Wednesday is the new TV night.? Everyone says it’s Sunday these days and while this is true to an extent (I have a good four hour block of television that I watch on Sundays), it’s Wednesday night that I truly look forward to.? Why?? Because the combination of Amazing Race and Lost is too delicious to resist.? And last night?? No exception.? It was FABULOUS.

Amazing Race
Yeah, my annoyance towards MoJo has escalated towards true hatred this week.? I understand they simply find the hippies foul and a lot of people do, for some reason.? I enjoy them and have from the start.? They’re fun to watch, plain and simple.? Yeah, threatening to Yield people if they don’t give them money?? Is a little silly.? And I wager that it was silly when they said it.? As in, they were joking.? But MoJo chose to take extreme offense to this.? What I would have done in their shoes?? Leave them $1.? That way some money was left so the hippies couldn’t say I didn’t leave them anything.? But I wouldn’t really be helping them out either.? Also, the assuming MoJo were the ones to call off the cabs?? I would have thought so too, given the same circumstances.? And honestly, MoJo didn’t do a lot to dissuade the hippies when they brought it up at the airport.? The snarky, curt response Joseph gave didn’t instill a lot of confidence in me.? If I hadn’t *known* it was the frat boys, I would have started to really wonder.? And people?? Ray and Yolanda thought MoJo did it too.? So don’t get all uppity about the hippies being the bad guys here.? Because EVERYONE loves them some Ray and Yolanda. :)? I was SO happy to see them come in first.? They really deserved it.? I adore that team.? And I knew the hippies wouldn’t be eliminated because the AR finale always starts with four teams.? So I wasn’t real worried.? But this time?? I’m willing to bet NO ONE leaves them any money. ;)

Lost
This show is SO freakin’ good I can’t hardly stand it. I enjoyed the fact that the episode was done from Ana Lucia’s perspective, however, her flashbacks didn’t make a whole lot of sense.? I did enjoy the sneak peek of Sawyer and the juicy clue of Jack having a sister (Claire, anyone?) being dangled in front of us.? I knew Michael was lying about the Others when he said they were all low-tech and whatnot.? I mean, that much was obvious.? And I was on guard ever since NotHenry said he was originally coming to the Lostaways to “recruit” Locke.? It gave proof there’s an intricate plot involved that we have no idea about.? So what with Michael’s surprise reappearance… at the end when Ana gave him the gun I was yelling at her not to (they never listen).? I just knew it wasn’t a good plan.? What I expected was Mike to knock her out or something and then let Henry out.? So I didn’t really expect him to KILL her, but okay.? Libby REALLY shocked me and I hope she’s not dead.? I’d like her to be the one to eventually let it out that Mike was the one “who done it”.? Oh and yes, he just shot himself in the arm to make it look like NotHenry shot him.? Duh.? I cannot wait to see what the next couple weeks contain.? I can’t believe we’re at season finale time already!
