Tonight was a new episode of "16 and Pregnant" on MTV. Sorry that this recap is up so late.
Tonight's episode featured Nikkole. She is 16 years old, a cheerleader and incoming high school junior from Monroe, MI. She lives with her mom, Rikki, and her brother Brett. After she tells her boyfriend Josh that she is pregnant, he breaks up with her because he's not ready for a baby. Her mom and friends support her through the pregnancy. After a heart-to-heart talk with Josh, Nikkole decides that he has changed and they get back together.
Nikkole learns that she is having a boy, and she plans to name him Lyle. Josh seems to support Nikkole throughout the third trimester of her pregnancy, and when she decides to go to homecoming, he encourages her to go and that he'll meet up with her later (he can't go to the dance because he got expelled from school). She goes to the dance and after an hour goes to meet Josh, but he isn't there. She calls him and he says he doesn't want to leave his friend's house.
After Nikkole leaves school for a few weeks, she decides she can't wait any longer and decides to induce her labor. During her labor, Josh and her mom Rikki argue about his immaturity. After 27 hours of labor, Nikkole welcomes her son, Lyle. Rikki bans Josh from coming over to Nikkole's house, so she has to go over there for Lyle to see him. Eventually, she learns that Josh is still seeing his ex behind Nikkole's back, and the two of them break up for good. Nikkole and her mom decide to raise Lyle together.
My grandma is currently in town because of something that's going on with my little brother, and she watched this episode with me. She said that people never change. Nikkole truly believed that Josh had changed. All in all, this episode was really good. I liked Nikkole more than I liked the girl last week, Jenelle. Nikkole was actually nice to her mom and willing to stay home and help with Lyle.
Next week's episode chronicles a girl named Valerie, whose baby has some health problems. I'll be sure to write about it.
Love y'all,

Why does love always feel like a battlefield?
Sorry for the slight delay on my Survivor update, my stepdad screwed up the internet trying to set it up on his new Mac, but it's back up and running now.
So at the Villains camp, their lack of shelter is getting them all wet, and Boston Rob doesn't like it. He wants to take charge and make a better shelter.
The next day, at the Villains camp, the tribe struggles to build a shelter, and Randy doesn't like it and complains about it in a confessional. Boston Rob tries to take charge but gets more tired and dizzy. He goes to take a break and Jerri finds him unconcious in the jungle. She calls for the medical team, and they assess that he has the flu, but is clear to continue.
Over at the Heroes camp, Rupert secretly targets Stephenie for elimination should their tribe lose the next Immunity Challenge due to being strong (she outlasted her whole tribe her first season in Palau). Stephenie is close with her former Palau ally Tom, and also with Colby.
At the combined Reward/Immunity Challenge, the Heroes had a strong lead going into the challenge, but lost it during the staircase assembly. J.T. tried to lead the challenge but everyone talked over each other and James quickly gets frustrated, giving the Villains their second straight Immunity Challenge win. For the Heroes, it's another trip to Tribal Council.
Back at the Heroes camp, James targets Stephenie for elimination for the same reason as Rupert, but Colby and Tom talk with Stephenie and target Amanda for elimination due to being physically weak. The three of them talk to Cirie and Candice and try to sway them over to their side.
At Tribal Council, James is quick to put the blame on Stephenie for losing the challenge, but Tom and Colby quickly come to her defense. After a tense Tribal Council, Cirie and Candice still show loyalty to James and J.T. and Stephenie is voted out 6-3. Stephenie is my all-time favorite runner-up along with Stephen Fishbach. I loved her her first two seasons in Palau and Guatemala, even though I sort of watched those two seasons on-and-off. I also made a video for her that I will share with you in a little bit. Peace out Steph. You're amazing and will be missed.
Here is the video I made for Steph, just yesterday:
I hope you enjoy it!
Saturday Night Live is not on this Saturday, again due to the Olympics. It will return next Saturday with host and musical guest Jennifer Lopez. I'll be there to recap it, along with the next episodes of 16 and Pregnant.

Half of my heart's got the right mind to tell you that I can't keep loving you with half of my heart.
Tonight was the premiere of season 2 of "16 and Pregnant" on MTV. My friend Lauren got me into this show last summer and it's now one of my addictions. I will be recapping the episodes of this season on this blog, along with "Survivor" and "Saturday Night Live".
Tonight's season premiere highlighted Jenelle, a 16-year-old party girl from Oak Island, NC. She is currently dating Andrew, a former model who is currently out of a job, a heavy drinker, had his driver's license taken away from him and still lives with his parents 4 hours away from her. Things in her world change when she discovers she's pregnant. Her mom, Barbara, and Andrew don't get along, and she and her mom argue a lot about Andrew not stepping up to help her. As the baby's due date gets nearer, Jenelle begins to realize that her mom has a good point, and she gets into a big fight with him one night when she's out with her friends.
Andrew does show up in time for Jenelle's baby to be born, and after 12 hours of labor, she gives birth to a baby boy named Jace. Andrew and Barbara ignore each other and Jenelle and Barbara argue about Andrew once again. After she is allowed to go home, Jenelle continues to go out with her friends and go to parties while Barbara takes care of Jace. This doesn't sit well with Barbara and she and Jenelle get into several more arguments about her behavior. All the while, Andrew hasn't been in contact with Jenelle and when he finally does call her, she learns he spent a week in jail for DUI, and he is continuing to drink even after spending time in jail. This is the final straw for Jenelle and after one last argument, she breaks up with him.
Barbara and Jenelle get into a huge argument about her behavior. Barbara thinks that at some point Jenelle will get up and leave Jace behind and never come back. Jenelle argues about it and threatens to move out with Jace and disown her family once she turns 18. Her friends Lauren and Amber come over and they talk for awhile, and they tell her that she needs to stay home with Jace more often, and Jenelle sees the light in that. She makes up with her mom, stays at home more often and tells her mom that she would like her help to take care of Jace. She plans on graduating high school early and getting a job to help support her and Jace.
I think this was a pretty good premiere episode. I liked Jenelle although I do agree that she did need to take responsibility and take care of Jace more often, and she did that in the end. I do hope she finds something that helps her and her mom and Jace get through life together. And I applaud her for breaking it off with Andrew because even she had some doubts that he was the right one for her. She was strong and broke it off with him.
Next week's episode will feature a girl named Nikkole. I can't wait. The new episode of "Survivor" will be on Thursday. SNL will not be on because of the Olympics, but will return on the 27th. I will keep you posted on anything that happens in my life between now and then.

A foxtrot above my head, a sock hop beneath my bed, a disco ball that's just hanging by a thread.
Tonight kicked off a new season of "Survivor". This is Heroes vs. Villains. And so far, it looks like it's gonna be great.
The 20 contestants arrived in Samoa via helicopter, and were divided up as Heroes and Villains. After giving their first impressions, they go into their first challenge. The challenge was first done in "Survivor: Exile Island". The Heroes emerge victorious despite Stephenie dislocating her shoulder and Rupert breaking his toe, and win flint to start a fire.
The Heroes get a nice start at their camp, by building a nice shelter and catching some hens and a rooster. Over on the Villains side, Russell builds alliances with Danielle, Parvati and Boston Rob, while Coach and Jerri build an alliance. The girls tease them about possibly developing romantic relations. Rob manages to get a fire started despite not having flint.
Back at the Heroes, Tom manages to get a fire started using the flint after Rupert was unable to get one started. Stephenie and Tom, and Cirie and Amanda, manage to rebuild their alliances from their respective seasons. That night, Sugar manages to annoy Colby by following him around and chatting him up, in the process waking up the whole tribe. The next day, J.T. catches and kills the rooster they had previously caught, and the tribe enjoys a nice breakfast.
At the Immunity Challenge, which was originally done in "Survivor: Cook Islands", the Heroes start off strong by taking an early lead, but quickly fall behind when they assemble the puzzle, and the Villains make a huge comeback and win the challenge. The Heroes are left with the task of deciding who to vote off first. It seems like Sugar is the clear choice due to annoying the tribe and breaking down after losing the challenge, but Cirie has some second thoughts and thinks about breaking up the alliance of Stephenie and Tom. She talks to Amanda and Candice about it. Tom also has some second thoughts of getting rid of Sugar and instead getting rid of Cirie, who has a reputation for being a brilliant strategist.
At Tribal Council, there is a lot of discussion about reasons to vote people out, and Jeff points out that there is a reason to vote out every single person. At the end of the night, the tribe goes with their original plan, and Sugar is the first person voted out of "Survivor: Heroes vs. Villains". I really enjoyed watching watching Sugar her first season in Gabon, and have talked to her on her twitter a few times, she's a sweet girl. My friend Rachael made me a graphic of her that I use on a website I visit every day, she thought it was sweet. Peace out Sugar. Sorry to see you go so soon.
Next week there's a preview of Rob going down. My good friend Melissa and I hope he's gonna be okay. Usually, someone every season is pulled out of the game for medical reasons, that's at least been the case the last few years. We wonder who it will be this season, if it happens.
That's all for today. This Saturday, Saturday Night Live is not on due to the Olympics. It will return live on February 27th. And this coming Tuesday is the first episode of 16 and Pregnant. Can't wait!

Big shake to the land that's falling down, is a wind makes a palm stop blowing, a big, big stone fall and break my crown.
Okay. Like I promised, I am going to do a blog talking about all the shows I watch. Some of them you know about because of my commentaries. Others, you might not know about. But here you go.
There are shows of all different varieties which I watch. Some are scripted, some are reality. And I'll also include shows I watch over the summer.
American Idol is the show I've watched the longest. I started watching this show in 2003, and I thank my cousin Bonny for getting me hooked for life. I always end up rooting for the runner-up, except for seasons 4 and 6, where I rooted for the winner (Carrie Underwood and Jordin Sparks, respectively). The show discovers undiscovered singing talent and puts them through a competition every week. Last season didn't end in a victory for Adam Lambert, who had been my favorite since the end of the semi-finals round, but it was still a great season. Lots of unexpected turns.
Survivor is the show that changed reality television. I didn't start watching this until 2005 (this coming season, season 20, will be exactly 5 years since I started watching the show), but I've stuck with it pretty much through and through. I was happy with the way the last season ended up (my favorite got eliminated right before the final 3, but after he did, the person I wanted to win won). Next season is "Heroes vs. Villains" and it premieres this Thursday night. And as you know, I do commentary for the show on this blog, so be on the lookout for my thoughts.
The Amazing Race is a show I got into, fell out of touch with, and then got back into. I took 2 seasons off this past season, but I decided to get back into it this past season. It's very unique and a lot of fun to watch. This season ended up being good. Two of my favorite teams since the beginning made the finals, with one of them coming out victorious. The next season premieres next Sunday, Valentine's Day, and since I have no man to hold, that's what I'll be spending the holiday doing.
Grey's Anatomy is my kind of soap opera. I had heard a lot about this show before I started watching it, then decided to start watching it to see what all the hype was about. And I immediately fell in love. I own the first 2 seasons on DVD so I'm caught up, and I need to get the rest of the seasons. I fell out of touch with it seasons 4 and 5 (I did see a few episodes of season 4 tho), but now I'm back in it. It's a great show.
Private Practice, a spin-off of Grey's, is also really good. I wasn't too sure about this show when I heard about, but decided to give it a shot. And I ended up enjoying it. It's another one that I fell out of touch with, but decided to hop back into. It's a great show and I get wrapped up in the petty drama of it all.
Dancing With the Stars is a show I started watching about this time 2 years ago. My grandma got me into it, and now I've only missed one or two episodes per season at the most (I didn't miss any of last season tho). This show takes regular celebrities and shows how good their dancing skills are. This past season didn't end in a victory for singer Mya or model Joanna Krupa, two of the more talented dancers, and was also the first season I didn't vote for the eventual winner at all throughout the season, but it was still a crazy, great roller coaster ride of a season. And I thank my buddies at Idolforums.com (particularly Wallace and Denise) for helping me keep my composure and giving their thoughts.
I Survived a Japanese Game Show is a summer show. I first saw the preview for this show one day in the summer of 2008, and decided to check it out. I missed the first episode for some reason (I think I was working), but watched it online and was instantly hooked. When they renewed it for a second season, I KNEW I had to tune in. And I follow the blog of one of the contestants from this last season, Dan Barbour. If you care to read it, feel free. He has some good stuff to say. My friend Stephie liked him too and she declared the two of us (me and her) "Team Dan". So far there's no word yet on this show being renewed for a 3rd season, but I hope they do renew it because it's always one of the highlights of my summer.
16 and Pregnant is a relatively new show on MTV. My friend Lauren said she liked the show, so I decided to check it out. I've only missed 1-and-a-half episodes of the first season, but I loved it nontheless. And the new season premieres on February 16th, so a week from this coming Tuesday. I will be doing commentary for it on this blog.
Paris Hilton's My New BFF is a show that I will admit I decided to watch out of boredom. There wasn't anything else on TV that night so I decided to give it a try, and I fell in love. This past season was a good one. The eventual winner, Stephen Hampton, was one I liked from the time I started watching, and who I've talked to on Twitter and stickam before. He's SO nice, and he's called me baby and sexy and has told me I'm cute. And the lovely Paris Hilton herself tweeted me back once. She's actually a nice person despite what the tabloids say about her.
The Hills is another one of those shows that I had heard a lot about, but never considered watching until this year. I get wrapped up in the petty drama of it all. I follow several of the cast members on twitter, and two of the more well-known ones, Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt, follow me (they follow their fans). Heidi's tweeted me back once, Spencer's tweeted me 4 times and also gave me a shoutout on Ustream. And two of the tweets and the Ustream shoutout were him telling me that he loves me. When I told my friend Wallace that he said "wow, that's actually nice of Spencer. I didn't know he had that side to him".
Teen Mom, the spin-off of 16 and Pregnant, is also a good show. The show features 4 of the original girls from 16 and Pregnant as they navigate their first year of motherhood. One of the girls, Farrah Abraham, is from my home state, so I sort of have a connection there.
Saturday Night Live is another show that I never watched until now, but have heard a lot about. You know I do commentary on it on this blog. I started watching this show in October 2009, and I love it. I grew up watching variety shows like "All That" and "The Amanda Show", so I just naturally love SNL as well.
That's all for now, I hope you enjoyed my rambling.

No one on the corner has swagga like us, hit me on my burner prepaid wireless
Tonight was the premiere of a new TV show on CBS called "Undercover Boss". I'm going to blog about that tonight.
But before I do, I must extend my congratulations to the New Orleans Saints for winning the Super Bowl. The first time in the history of the franchise that they have won a Super Bowl. So that was a big event.
Okay, now on to Undercover Boss. This show takes the CEO of a big company, and they go undercover to see what it's like to work at the company they are the CEO of.
Tonight's episode featured Larry O'Doyle, the president and COO of Waste Management, which is a trash and recycling company. He went undercover and worked all aspects of the job, while figuring out what improvements to make.
I thought it was a very good idea for a TV show, it's something that everyone can relate to. I can't wait to see what other kinds of jobs that will be featured. Next week is the CEO of Hooters, so that should be pretty fun. I'll keep you updated on anything else that happens.
And, inspired by a message board post I made, I think I'm going to blog about all the TV shows I watch. I'm gonna post this, then post another entry shortly after that, talking about all the shows I watch.

But before I do, I must extend my congratulations to the New Orleans Saints for winning the Super Bowl. The first time in the history of the franchise that they have won a Super Bowl. So that was a big event.
Okay, now on to Undercover Boss. This show takes the CEO of a big company, and they go undercover to see what it's like to work at the company they are the CEO of.

Pressure, pushing down on me, pressing down on you, no man ask for, under pressure that burns a building down, splits a family in two
Today is Saturday, which means Saturday Night Live is on. Tonight's host is Ashton Kutcher, and the musical guest is Them Crooked Vultures.
I will do the commentary as the skits go on. I will write my reviews after the skits air. This will include Ashton's monologue and the cold open.
Cold Open: talking about the "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" policy. I never really followed it. Kristen Wiig always does well in these cold opens.
Monologue: Very very funny. I almost spit out my dinner laughing (yes, I ate dinner at 10:30 pm. I needed something do to besides blog). Ashton held his composure together until the end and it was hilarious to see him try. But it was VERY unexpected to see him rip his pants off at the end.
Last Will and Testament: Ashton, Jason Sudeikis, and Jenny Slate had some good lines in this. It was kind of nasty because of all the STDs listed.
The View: I like Kristen Wiig as Elisabeth Hasselbeck and Nasim Pedrad as Barbara Walters. Ashton was good as Mel Gibson too.
The emperor that keeps eating grapes: Ashton's high-pitched voice was annoying, but Andy Samberg, who I love dearly, did very well in this.
Weekend Update: Seth Meyers is one of my heroes. He makes me laugh and smile, and he's not too rough on the eyes. I loved seeing my Andy turn up as "Liam, the teenager who just woke up." Bill Hader had some good lines, altho a lot of them made me roll my eyes. His laugh was annoying too. "Bon to the jour", as stated by Kenan Thompson, may be my new catchphrase. Nice to see Seth gettin' down too. Fred Armisen and Kristen Wiig's characters Garth and Kat made me irritated the first time the first time I saw them, and didn't impress me the second time either. I just shook my head in disbelief.
What Is Burn Notice?: Having not being familiar with this show, I didn't really understand it. Ashton and Will Forte both had some nice moments.
Access Hollywood: I love Nasim Pedrad with all my heart, but she does some voices that irritate me. Ashton's Billy Bush was funny and spastic, like he is. And it was funny seeing some popular movies that actually weren't nominated for Best Picture get nominated.
An Even-Tempered Apology from Rahm Emanuel: Andy is amazing and hysterical. I love him. That's all I will say.
Cadena-Norton Wedding: this sketch was awesome. Not the typical wedding band. Nice to see Them Crooked Vultures' drummer Dave Grohl appear in this one.
SNL will not have any more live shows until February 27th due to the 2010 Vancouver Olympics. As of now, I am not sure if they will be showing reruns during that time, but I will keep you posted as I find things out. Nice to see Ashton Kutcher ringing in his 32nd birthday by hosting SNL, he did a fabulous job. He was representing my home state of Iowa (he grew up here), and he was awesome. Happy birthday Ashton!
That's all for tonight. This Thursday is the season premiere of "Survivor: Heroes vs. Villains" so I will be writing about that. If anything else worth writing about comes up, I'll let you know!
