Thing of the Week: TV Twists

Happy Friday, everyone! Hope you made it through the week. I know it was only a four-day week for most people, but sometimes those can be the hardest. Since it is Friday, that means that it's time to pick the stand-out thing of the last seven days... Today's Thing of the Week is:
TV Twists

After a few weeks of some slightly boring action on Big Brother 8 the house guests were rocked when Julie Chen announced that last night would be a "fast forward" show. That meant that someone would be evicted right at the top of the show, then the remaining players would go through a week's worth of competitions in just one hour! The house guests voted to evict Jessica immediately, then they quickly played the other games and voted to evict Eric at the end of the show.

I was really sad to see Jessica and Eric go. They were a great team, and I really think that Jessica could have won Big Brother if she made it to the final two. Unfortunately, I think they both made a bonehead decision to keep their alliance with Evel Dick and Daniele instead of putting them up against each other. IT'S A GAME, PEOPLE! Don't ever put me on Big Brother (or do!) because I will back stab everyone. No joke. The next few shows are all going to be sped up, so make sure you watch!

In other pseudo-reality-show-type news, did you guys watch Tim Gunn's Guide To Style on Bravo? I'll admit that I was very skeptical at first, but I watched the first episode last night and I totally dig it! I assumed that the show as going to end up being a complete knock-off the TLC show What Not To Wear, because the premise is basically the same: Two fashion specialists go into a person's wardrobe, rips it apart, then helps them pick new things. Not exactly! Tim and his cohort, supermodel Veronica Webb, really help out some style-challenged people and show them how they not only dress better, but feel better about themselves. I love What Not To Wear, but Tim Gunn's Guide To Style goes for the same idea, but with more heart and less bitchy comments. Good job, Tim!

Did you watch either of these shows last night? What do you think?!
