a.k.a.a.k.a. TV

Now that the Yema Adik is temporarily immobile in terms of cash flow and blood flow (a.k.a. moving around and paglalakwatsa), she has temporarily assumed the revered position of Sofa Potato (sorry, no couches here....). She now presents you her list of 'favorites,' the ultimate guide to Sofa Potatoship:

CSI:Las Vegas
oooohhh the plot thickens as Gil and the gang were split into two groups. Now I'm beginning to hate Catherine Willows. I still love Greg!

CSI:Miami
Stopped watching it a looooong time ago because (1) Horatio's acting's too scripted, and (2) the show always ends with Horatio striking an FPJ-like pose or wearing his shades a la Ray-Ban or Oakley ad.

CSI:NY
BUT OF COURSE IT HAS GARY SINISE IN IT!!! Of course, the show's distinct NY-flavor gives this new series a different feel, more urban and less methodical than LV or Miami.

The Contender
Blame my brother Jay for 'tipping' me to watch this new show. Watched one episode (Sergio Mora vs. Ishe Smith) and man, was I HOOKED! I really liked the match between Alfonso Gomez and Ahmed...ang bilis ni Alfonso! Astig! For that, bet ko na si Alfonso. OK din si Sugar Ray, you feel humbled when you see him on TV, so soft-spoken yet so great.

LOST
Blame my kuya for recommending this show. Since this show is created by J. J. Abrams, creator of Alias, expect the show to be more than a lost-in-the-island theme. I bet that an Alias-like conspiracy is behind the airplane's crash, and one or more of the survivors are involved in this (conspiracy). Just my theory, though; I expect Abrams to come up with a thicker and more complex plot.

Xtra Challenge
Kahit corny si Paolo, kwela naman si Ethel. Minsan dragging yung show, but once in a while it keeps you entertained while I wait for....

All About Eve
Go Nicole! Always root for the underdog, hehe. When the show started, Warren's gwapo and Kenneth's jologs. But as the show progressed, nagmukha nang bonjing si Warren, and cool naman si Kenneth! I guess their roles affected my perception of each character's attractiveness. I like Nicole, if she would just change her oh-so-big pouty lips.

Darna
Duh. wala lang. Maganda lang talaga si Angel, not to mention her sexy costume. Yun lang.

Amazing Race
I pray to the highest heavens that the bickering teams Ron & Kelly and Rob & Amber be eliminated from the game, and let the two other teams (the one with Uchenna and Meredith in it) win. Between Ron & Kelly and Rob & Amber, though, I like the engaged Survivors better, coz they have the right attitude and drive to win (compared to the constantly irritated Kelly and the stingy-tongued Ron).
