   After watching them together, I figured some enterprising producer would try to float a Penner/Welchel sitcom of some form.

   Makes you quiver with fear at the mere thought, doesn’t it.

   By the way, at the beginning of the Survivor season, I made myself (with the judicious use of alcohol) sit through the first episode of The Nanny. Penner plays the fiancee’ who dumps Fran. If you ever wondered why Penner doesn’t have a bigger career, this sample of his work is truly enlightening.

   Huh. I never realized Penner had done that much acting. Also, if Denise supposedly told Penner about Lisa, why did she look so surprised when he made his big reveal? And why wouldn’t Denise have let everyone know, since it was clear that the secret was an essential part of Lisa’s strategy.

   Something tells me this season was really all about Lisa’s career redemption story arc in order to drum up interest for her/Probst’s lame talk show concept.

   Any day now, someone will confirm that Probst, Burnett and Lisa are all part of the same church — and are probably all shareholders too. These people are sneaky and evil.

   I’ve been thinking all along that this was just one big audition for Lisa. She makes me not want to watch Probst’s talk show now. Oh wait, I already don’t watch it.

   “He still has till April to pull something out of his ass.”

   And then you have a picture of Lisa covered in brown stuff.

   CLASSIC LOLZ.

   love, J-Mo

   Two gag-inducing thoughts in one day.

   I used to like Alan Alda on M.A.S.H. before he got all full of himself and became all preachy and totally PC and smarmy. One of the things that turned me off about Penner was that he sounded so much like an Alda clone, besides the fact that he could be such a douche-bag, as demonstrated by his jury speech. Glad I never caught one of his paid acting gigs.

   It figures that Probst fancies himself as a talk show host, just like every other loser Bravo hosewife out there. So he needs help and we’re pulling in the lovely Welcher as his co-host. Isn’t that special? Let’s get some hot sauce and celebrate. That just sounds so contrived.

   CBS/Survivor posted videos of the jury members’ thoughts pre-vote and Artis’ is worth watching. His views on Lisa and Skupin are absolutely hysterical. Lisa apparently broke her word with him too. He says they promised not to write each others names down and that unlike Lisa, he was not going to break his word, ergo he was not going to write her name down and was going to write down Denise’s name. He was still pissed at Skupin for eating so damn much. Now if Artis was the co-host, I might watch.

   itchy – I read an interview with Denise. She stated she knew immediately who Lisa was, but she didn’t reveal it because it wasn’t beneficial to her own plans. She acted surprised because everyone else was and she needed to play along.

   I didn’t know about Penner being an actor either, so it’s really strange that he would call Lisa out about it. He was nominated for an Oscar, even. I don’t know whether being nominated is different from being a contender for the award. Some radio infomercials trying to sell snake oil will say that the guy promoting it was nominated for a Nobel Prize, but anybody can be nominated. Actually having a serious chance for the prize is something entirely different. One that I heard actually claimed that the veterinarian pitch man/inventor for some miracle pill had been nominated for the Nobel Prize in medicine.

    That winter Big Brother was one of my favorites! Wish they’d do that again.

    Big Brother Canada starts Feb. 27th on SliceTV. They have enlisted Dr. Will and Mike Boogie to help promote their premiere. Maybe we can all watch that. No word yet on whether they’ll have live feeds or internet viewings of the show.

    What happened to that Jeff Lewis/Tori Spelling talk show the TV gods promised us a year or so ago? What happened to it!?! I would totally have watched that.
