So I am catching up. I’m Busy!
New Girl is still one of my favorite shows and I constantly rewatch episodes. Nick is totally bringing it with his face this season.
I have to say, I am adding Parenthood and Homeland to my must watch list. I have seen some episodes of the first seasons of each. The way you guys discuss really makes me want to watch!
ANTM – OMG. Amrie, you are so correct. It’s an awful show but you have to watch right? But I am super excited to see the train wreck of a coed season.
TAR – meh, did the Beackman Boys really deserve to win? I am torn.
Survivor – I am shocked that I am still watching! I have never watched a whole season! But it’s so good! The fact that they never know what’s going to happen is great! However, TAR makes me scared that Abi will win Survivor now. there is no way that can happen right?
