TV Patrol: Survivor’s Last Thursday

Do you know who this is? Do you know what he does? Did you know if he was a “he”? He’ll definitely make you “BLUSH”. Let’s JUMP…….

I’m blushing.

I have to say that I haven’t seen many shows this week. I’m just now getting caught up with my DVR. I watched “House” this morning. Wasn’t that a sweet ending to a horribly sad show. Cuddy got her Christmas wish & someone else got a kiss & it wasn’t House! There’s a new romance in town. I think I saw that one coming, didn’t you?

The second episode of “Leverage” on TNT last night wasn’t bad. It was exciting & entertaining while fleshing out these thieving characters a bit more. Nate Ford is definitely into pay it forward. He’s a man with a mission. I’m still not liking the he-man dude. He acts about as well as Dexter’s sister.

“Blush: The Search for the Next Great Make-Up Artist” which airs Tuesday nights at 10pm on Lifetime is one of the most entertaining, new ‘challenge-type’ reality shows I’ve seen this season. These make-up artists are so outrageous, especially Maxi! What a trip he is & he’s really good at what he does. He just doesn’t play well with others. You have to see him to believe it. Not to say the others aren’t “out there” too. Nolan is the biggest competition. He & his new BFF, Todd have played this game together. Now we are down to these final three, I have loved this show. Next week we find out who the “Next Great Make-Up Artist” is and I’m rooting for Nolan. Just needed to get that out.

Let’s get on with tonight’s fare, shall we:
