Most Tuesday nights I am working or catching up on other shows from the DVR, especially since we returned from China. The only thing I have to catch up on now is Chuck, and the DVR is down to about 20% full!
I had the day off yesterday and I began with watching 24. Granted, it's a Monday show, but I watched it on Tuesday.
24 - Jack Bauer has always had a good bit in common with John McClain, Bruce Willis' character in the Die Hard franchise. This week it really kicked in with the elements of "how can this guy keep standing after the physical toll his body has taken?"
We now know for certain that Jonas and Starkwood are NOT the end of the mega-conspiracy to usurp our government which NO ONE has a clue about. Tony is back to being a bad guy, now responsible for killing many FBI agents. Jack caught on, but of course his nerve agent exposure kicked in right as he was about to take Tony down. What's more? In the preview for next week we see Jack running around like he has zero physical problems again! The storyline is better than a few of the more recent seasons, but I'm about ready for it to end.
American Idol - We're still at 7 after last weeks Judge's Save, but we drop two tonight. Tonight we will likely see the departure of Lil (who the judges have been openly working against for over a month despite her trying to and sometimes actually doing what they have told her) and probably Anoop.
Lil - opened the night, a major strike against her. Only Adam and Danny can open a show and be guaranteed to be safe.
Kris - made Disco night bearable by making a disco song Santana-like. Good move.
Danny - nothing out of the ordinary or unique at all, but solid.
Adam - Takes the BeeGees in a totally different direction and it seems to work. I like the rock Adam better.
Matt - I like this guy. He may be channelling Timberlake too much, but I like his style.
Allison - the most OVER-rated performer this year. She's bettter than the skunk-haired nurse from last year, but she is not the talent they think she is and I can't look at her fake red hair.
Anoop - Last to perform and did a song I did not recognize. I won't miss him or his desire to be an R&B singer. V-103 in Atlanta would never play him.
Biggest Loser - From 6 to 5 and Kristin is gone!
Kristin has had so much more camera time than anyone else and Amy and I were tired of listening to her. Congrats on being the biggest woman ever on the show. She got SO very annoying at the end of the episode repeatedly telling Mike that he is "taking the easy way out to win the show" by eliminating her. Well, DUH! Ultimately it is a game to be won. His only real threats are Kristin and Tara, and Tara is a freaking machine! So yeah for the kid who has lost more than any other contestant in the history of the show and to his dad for helping him. I just hope that when they get home they can help brother Max who is left as the only big guy in the family.

Good wrap up, dad.
Now that Tony's bad again we may start watching "24" again, but only as long as Jon Voight's cool cat somehow sticks around.
I didn't really mind Kristin that much, even with all the drama. She didn't make excuses for her weight gain, but yeah, we thought it was a copout to call out Mike at the end of this week as if he's being weak by voting her off. I didn't see her as much competition, though. She wasn't losing a ton of weight and wouldn't have won the finale, any more than Ron could. Helen, however, is already getting pretty thin and looks rockin'!
