Greek Episode 27 Review


Initial thoughts, more soon.

Good ep! Thinking his friend Evan cheated on Frannie, Calvin did cheat on Michael with Heath. And Heath being emotional and hopeful was refreshing. As he just seems like a background character when not interacting with Calvin. I do like that he doesn't act stereotypical gay with his brothers. I love how the gay characters are complicated. Last week, Michael has been corrupted by Evan for money and hasn't told Calvin. Now Calvin has cheated on Michael.

Cappie jealous of Max was priceless. I never really noticed Cappie never met Max, so now that they did, it was awesome. I also liked the line Cappie said to Dale, "Chip. I knew it was one of them."

They give Lizzie a not-so-awesome but nice makeover. Charisma Carpenter is an excellent presence, in her young age, she brings some gravitas to the show. Yes, her role is very close to her previous roles. But she does she does good and she does it well.

Not a PC

I got to say, for those people that don't pay good attention, that new PC commercial with a guy that looks like the guy that plays PC in the Mac commercials is not the same guy. He sounds like him, more than he looks like him. Those that are familar with the actor, they will obviously know he is not the same.

Clay Aiken FINALLY OUT

After years of proding by comedians, press, tv shows, MADtv, and Kathy Griffin, Clay Aiken is finally being true to himself and admitted he is gay. I believe if you are in the limelight, you should be true to yourself. I can understand if he is southern and everything. I hate when Gay guys come out and they say they don't want to be an advocate. I guess they feel deep down that they will burnt at the torch. If you are a positive guy and don't do drugs, then what is wrong with being a positive role model? If people look up to you and want you to speak at a couple events, what is the harm in that? As for Clay, I think he has big steps here and there to get there. He's not there yet. I mean, he just had a kid through artificial insemination. How obvious you got to be there. He didn't go the Tom Cruise route. I mean, Tom Cruise went the Tom Cruise route and people still suspect he is gay. Yes, people's business is people's business. But stop kidding yourself and be true to yourself. Stop being ashamed, I'm not.

If he is afraid that he is going to loose his country music fans or fans from the red states, he can think he can make a difference. The difference is showing that gay kids come from the red states too. You can be raised with good values and still be a person with good values. That your sexual orientation, shouldn't matter. Just be openly gay from the beginning, it has worked fine for Jim Verraros, John Barrowman, and Peter Paige.

Emmy 2008: Don Rickles and Kathy Griffin

Kathy Griffin was paired with Don Rickles for the Emmy's last night. Kathy Griffin was trying to be civil and Don Rickles, but he was going off script and be hiliarious. She was nervous. She had everyone stand up for him and he berated them for standing up. She read the script and said they were pairing like McCain and Palin, he didn't like it. When they announced the winner, he kept talking as they came up and stood with them. He later went up alone when he won the Emmy Award 2008 for outstanding individual performance in a comedy, variety or musical program : Don Rickles, Mr. Warmth: The Don Rickles Project but I changed the channel because I grew tired of his attitude, I thought he was gonna make a fool out of himself. Kathy is always the contreversal one, now it was him, the master.

Emmy 2008: Jeremy Piven pokes fun at five Host opening

Oh, Ryan Seacrest sucked at hosting last year... so what is the Emmy's solution? Let's put four other hosts with him! Oprah opened the show and they supposedly had nothing planned and just rambled and rambled. And then three of them (Jeff Probst, Seacrest, and Howie Mandell) ran off, leaving Hiedi Klum left with that host from Dancing with the Stars and America's Funniest Videos. William Shatner came up and he and Tom pulled off Hiedi's akward tuxedo and another akward moment, revealing a short dress. Jeremy Piven won Supporting Actor in Comedy award and seemed to not really kiss Tina Fey and said he came off an airplane. He then said what it would be if he just kept on talking for 12 minutes... it would be the opening sequence! It was pointed but good. I think Tina Fey and Amy Poehler would have been better as the hosts, they were funny.

Project Runway: Snap Kenley out of it

I was all for Kenely in the beginning, but now she is getting on my nerves. She seemed really cool and her style was great, but now her outfits are seeming like more of the same. And she has the same problem as her pal Daniel, in which she doesn't respond well to criticism and DOESN'T LISTEN. Daniel didn't listen and neither does Kenely. She has openly said she won't listen. I feel sorry for Korto and Leanne, that they have such great talent and they have to listen to that sniveling whiny-puss. I am getting tired of her laughing, she reminds me of an acquaintance of mine, who I think is beautiful, smart and like her style, but she is just a great big bitch and doesn't know how not to be mean. So I am happy she gets what she deserves next week, it looks like she is crying and whining. The challenge is a hip-hop challenge with LL Cool J as a guest judge and there is a funny clip where she thinks something is 'hip-hop' and Korto said that she and Jerrell were not going to tell her that what she had was not hip-hop. And just because they are black, they know about hip-hop? Korto is straight from Africa and Jerrell is a gay oreo. Kenley didn't listen last week and did whatever she wants and did the gravest mistake... not listen to Tim!

Even though Tim was not completely right on Jerrell's design, which Jerell won, Tim is there for a reason. You to listen and learn and incorporate. Hasn't Kenley ever watch the show before? When other designers don't listen to his advice and then get kicked out. As for Joe, he didn't listen either. I knew Joe was gonna get kicked out soon, his dress for the spy movie/old designer challenge was bad, in poor taste. Unfortunately he suffers from straight guy-don't know much of fashion-itis. Sticking too much to stereotypes and general ideas. The Chinese dress he did was too cliche-y, this one he did for this challenge was way cliche-y, and even the dress he did for the drag queen... he said he had to think of it like making a halloween dress for his daughters and went with pink, which was very stereotypical for girls. And the outfit he did for this challenge was badly constructed. I liked what he said about going for your dreams and proving that to his daughters, that's great. He just wasn't for this competetion and his level is not at the level it has to be for Bryant Park. The funny thing is that he mentioned it alot as if he actualy thought he had a chance of going.

As for Suede, I think the kid is sweet but the whole 'Suede this, Suede that' is annoying and like Michael said, he is not at the level that he can be saying that. His outfit didn't look at all for the girl, it looked great but it was way too overworked. Korto's was great but I get disappointed that she always ends up at second place and Molly Sims... I'm sorry what's her name? German Beer girl? She always says, "Nice work, Cut Toe. You're in." One thing I am not going to miss about Joe is how in every challenge when Hiedi would say what the challange was, he would have his mouth open and have an empty look in his eyes and blink constantly. Also when he would do it as well when standing there on the catwalk listening to the judges. Close your mouth! You are getting flies in there!
