Gossip Girl Addict

Most people I know are US TV show junkies, myself included.

Don't mean to diss our local TV shows but I think we all know that they can't compare to the US ones, whether in terms of budget, storyline or acting chops.

I love Grey's Anatomy for McDreamy and the riveting human drama, Glee for the song and dance and recently, True Blood (recommended by Kelly).

But if there's one show i love which contradicts what i said earlier about having a good storyline, it's Gossip Girl.

I like that it's not emotionally draining, unlike Grey's which can have me sobbing too much (like when Alex made his vows to Izzie, yikes) or True Blood which can be too gorey and sexual sometimes.

The eye candy and the Big Apple, what a heady combination. And not forgetting, the fashion.

Good, frivolous entertainment :)

The Amazing Race

The fiance and i had a TAR Season 16 marathon over Youtube in the past two weeks. We didn't realise how much we missed watching the show (i think the last time we watched it was season 8 or 9?) till we caught it again.

Tonight's the season finale and for those of you who haven't been following the series, three teams are in the running for a million dollars.

Jet and Cord - The Cowboys

These cowboys are really good! They came from last to first in one leg and i think they came in first at least 3-4 times. I'm still amazed that Jet's cowboy hat didn't even threaten to fall off when he bungee jumped in Hamburg, Germany.

Jordan and Dan - The Brothers

They aren't the strongest team but they've made it into the top 3. Love Jordan's bitchiness btw :P

Brent and Caite - The Models

Am surprised that the goodlookers have made it this far. Although Caite is proving her critics wrong, i don't think the poor gir will ever be able to get disassociated from that booboo comment she made. Go search Miss South Carolina Teen USA 2007 on Youtube and you'll know what i mean.

Although the cowboys probably deserve to win, I'm rooting for Jordan and Daniel because they aren't your unconventional alpha male winners. For the amount of tears that Jordan has shed, i really think he wants to win this bad.

P/S If anyone knows who won, please please PLEASE don't tell me!
