Wednesday night is still reality night

Before I get started, OMG how boring is On the Lot? I mean, I keep thinking I could not possibly care less about that show and then I watch it again and lo and behold, I DO. Adriana Costa wears horrible sack like baby doll dresses and is a terrible host. Carrie Fisher and Garry Marshall almost never say anything that is actually interesting, and the guest judge is often useless. The films are fine, but there are probably only two or three directors that I'm interested in (Zach and Sam, and I liked Shalini until this week). But in looking at the website I think I see the problem. On nearly every other similar competitive reality show, the contestants are prominently displayed on the front page. On this one, you have to click through to "contestants." I don't need to know these people's life stories, but surely Burnett if not Speilberg understands that in order to vote for these people I have to care about them, that a lot of what happens on shows like Idol or SYTYCD is my giving a contestant I like a sympathy vote on a week that they mess up. If you want it to be only about the work, "fuck up and you're gone," then just have judges and make it like a Magical Elves show (PR/Top Chef/etc.). But if you want audience voting, then you need to give me the drama.

I so rule

I came home from a freelance job interview to find out that I won tickets to a supr sekrit Crowded House show! (Thanks to heidi8 for the link!) The show will be taped for future broadcast! I'm so looking forward to this!

And it's the day before HP&DH comes out! What a week!
