Saturday Night Live is on tonight, with host Zach Galifianakis and musical guest Vampire Weekend. I am unfamiliar with both of these acts, so this will be an interesting episode. The skits will appear in chronological order, altho most of the cold open I missed because I was cleaning up a mess I made in the kitchen.
Cold Open: Like I said, I missed most of this because I was cleaning up a mess I made, but what I did see of this was okay.
Monologue: The extended clapping at the beginning was funny. Zach did a good job with this, just expressing all his different "looks". He seemed nervous, or perhaps that was just part of his act. His piano playing was a nice addition as well.
Kissing Family: This skit was in James Franco's episode, and it was decent. Jenny Slate was effectively uncomfortable.
Bodea: If I heard the words "and the bodea....." one more time, I would have probably pulled my hair out. But at least Andy Samberg played the straight man role in this one. I love him.
Zach Drops by the Set: Nice to see Zach popping up in random places. An interesting idea for a sketch.
The Today Show: Jenny played the straight-man role here as Hoda Kotb. Kristen did a good job as Kathie Lee. Zach hardly appeared in the sketch, but when he did it was awesome.
Weekend Update: I always enjoy Weekend Update. Seth Meyers cracks me up like no other. Kenan as Mo'Nique was pretty good. Will Forte popped up as himself to talk about National Women's Month. His song was very catchy and will most likely be stuck in my head the rest of the week.
What Up With That?: I was wondering when this sketch was gonna be on again! This is one of my favorite SNL sketches and it's always fun. I always jam out to Kenan's little song. Paul Rudd and Frank Rich made cameos in this sketch. Paul seemed a bit confused as to what was going on. Zach has some mad flute-playing skills too.
The Situation Room: Jason Sudeikis's impression of Wolf Blitzer is always fun to see, and The Situation Room is a good show. However, this sketch was kind of awkward.
Pageant Talk: Finally, Zach gets a little more screen time. He had some good lines in this. And Jenny Slate, even tho she didn't say much, did a good job in this as well.
Next week's episode is going to be hosted by Jude Law, and the musical guest is Pearl Jam. I love Jude Law, so I am looking forward to seeing it.
Love y'all,

If I had just one wish, only one demand, I hope he's not like me, I hope he understands.
I apologize for lack of updates. Due to a medical emergency on American Idol, the performance dates were switched, so due to concentrating on voting for my favorite contestant, I have to re-watch "16 and Pregnant" so I can blog about it.
However, tonight, I was able to watch Survivor, so here is that recap for you.
After the Villains return from Tribal Council, Coach is very upset over some things that Sandra said about him and wants to quit the game. He turns to his former Tocantins ally, Tyson, for support, and Tyson, along with Boston Rob, convince him to stick it up and he remains in the game.
The reward challenge is won by the Villains, redeeming their loss at the last challenge, and wins tools and a tarp, which they selected from a Sears catalog. Inside the tools, once discovered back at camp, is a clue to a hidden immunity idol at their camp. Russell immediately goes off and looks for it, for which Boston Rob targets him.
The Heroes also discover a clue to a hidden immunity idol at their camp, and the entire camp searches for it. Tom discovers the idol and hides it inside his sock. Amanda suspects he found it and targets him for elimination.
The immunity challenge is the only challenge in the history of Survivor that has never been completed. The challenge was originally done in Survivor: Samoa, but was stopped due to a medical emergency. The Villains win the challenge, forcing the Heroes to vote out another member.
At camp, Tom is the obvious target due to having the immunity idol, being a strong competitor, and having already won the game once before. Another target is Colby due to being a strong ally with Tom. Tom wants to target Candice due to her being scatterbrained, but Amanda and Cirie don't want one of their alliance members to be voted out. J.T. overhears Cirie freaking out over voting out Candice, and turns to Colby and Tom about it. Tom comes up with the idea of using the idol he found and voting out Cirie. J.T. is unsure on who to trust.
At Tribal Council, issues of trust are raised. Before the votes are read, Tom plays the immunity idol, negating the votes that Cirie, Candice and Amanda cast against him. J.T. ultimately sticks with Tom and Colby, and Cirie is voted out 3-2-0. I knew that Cirie would be an early threat in this round of the game due to her being one of the greatest strategists ever to play Survivor, so I wasn't surprised that she got voted out this early on. That said, I have always loved Cirie and was bummed to see her go. Peace out Cirie, you will always be one of the best to ever play.
As soon as I re-watch 16 and Pregnant, I will recap that episode. Saturday Night Live's new episode is this Saturday, with host Zach Galifianakis and musical guest Vampire Weekend. Both of these people/artists I am unfamilar with, so this will be an interesting episode.

Band shuts down at 2 but we're hanging out til 3, you hate to see her go but love to watch her leave.
Tonight, since Saturday Night Live was on, I felt the need to do a blog about one of my favorite cast members, plus some stuff he's done prior to SNL.
Andy Samberg has been a cast member on the show since 2005, and the first time I watched the show I was immediately drawn to him. He was really gorgeous, and as I watched I thought he was funny as heck.
As I kept watching I started developing my crush on him. I realized that he was part of the group The Lonely Island, and that that group has done the song "I'm On a Boat". My friend Hayley showed me that video last year and I loved it.
the video, which features rapper T-Pain, has reached over 42,000,000 views on youtube and has become one of my favorite videos.
My friend Amanda told me to look up some of their older stuff, and I found the theme song for their show "Awesometown", and I loved it.
Andy's part of the song in the solo's is so random that it's funny, and Jorma Taccone's part just cracks me up because he's being contradictory.
Some of their videos, for example the one below from the set of their upcoming movie MacGruber, are really random and silly.
That one just cracks me up the whole time. They're really hilarious.
Another one of their earlier videos is really epic and I jammed out to that song for weeks (youtube disabled the embedding option).
Finally, I thought I'd post their most popular video, and one of the most popular videos on youtube (as of today, has over 78,000,000 views). The subject of the song is WTF-worthy and kind of random, but I admit that I love the song. So here it is for your viewing pleasure:
That's all for tonight! Hope you enjoy this.

So much to do, so much to see, so what's wrong with taking the back streets? You never know if you don't go, you never shine if you don't glow.
It's Saturday Night! So time for me to blog about SNL. Tonight's host and musical guest is Jennifer Lopez. I love her music.
Cold Open: nice to make fun of the new "We Are The World". Nice to see host and musical guest Jennifer "J-Lo" pop up as Rihanna.
Monologue: Kind of strange, but fun. J-Lo is awesome. Her delivery is pretty good.
Ladies Curling: always good to see Twinkle and Stink, but the sponsors always make me cringe. Plus my grandma always likes to watch curling.
SNL Digital Short: very interesting subject, but funny.
Hollywood Dish: I remember this sketch from Taylor Swift's episode. It was kind of strange then, and kind of strange now. And Jen did a good job of ranting in Spanish.
Telemundo coverage of the Olympics: Funny, and interesting. Glad to see they handled this.
Undercover Celebrity Boss: I love the real show this skit is making fun of, so it was nice to see that pop up. Kristen Wiig's one-liner was awesome.
Weekend Update: Seth Meyers is amazing. Bobby Moynihan is awesome too. Nice to see him cameo as himself. Fred Armisen's gravelly voice was a nice addition to his impression of David Patterson.
Besos y Lagrimas: I loved how over the top this was. Very dramatic and fun.
Eternal Spark of Love: I remember this from Taylor Lautner's episode, and I loved it then, and I still love it now. Kenan does some good commentary for these skits.
Smash Mouth in the closet: a clever idea and I loved Jennifer and Nasim jamming out together at the end.
Car Horns and More: Jenny Slate did this in another episode, only with doorbells. It was a cool concept then and kind of cool now. Nice to see Jenny Slate do a lot of stuff in this episode.
Closet Organizer: weird concept before, still weird now.
That's it for my SNL commentary, but I'm going to do another blog tonight about one of the cast members of SNL, and his comedy group, and share some of my favorite videos of theirs.

It's like my iPod's stuck on replay.
Tonight Survivor was on. I chose to watch that over American Idol because I do commentary for this blog about Survivor.
Anyway. The Heroes are looking for a miracle since two of their members have gone out. James just goes on and on about how he wants to win. It's annoying.
Over at the Villains side, Russell and Parvati confirm their alliance, while Coach and Randy worry about Parvati's past relationships with people who are on the Heroes side. Russell hides the machete used to kill chickens and open up coconuts.
Candice and J.T. talk about forming an alliance, and J.T. plays over to the dark side a bit by lying to Cirie about how Candice doesn't trust her. Cirie talks with Candice about it, and Candice makes sure that she didn't really say it.
The combined Reward/Immunity Challenge is won by the Heroes by a blowout. They are granted safety from Tribal Council, which means the Villains are attending their first Tribal Council of the game.
After the challenge, Coach and Randy talk about voting for Parvati due to her ties to the other tribe. Boston Rob brings up Randy's name for being the weakest member of the tribe. Jerri also wants to vote for Parvati for her potential ties to the other tribe.
At Tribal Council, camp life conditions and past relationships are discussed. Jerri and Coach put their vendettas against Parvati aside for the night to vote out Randy 9-1. I never liked Randy. His first season in Gabon, he really irritated me with his bad attitude. This time around he just complained too much. So peace out and good riddance to Randy.
That's all for tonight. A new episode of Saturday Night Live is on on Saturday, with host and musical guest Jennifer Lopez. Will definitely write about that.

I don't care what they say, I'm in love with you, they try to pull me away, but they don't know the truth.
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.

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.
