More rambling from "
Primetime in No Time" host
Frank Nicotero:
"
Girls Next Door": I've been lucky enough to be at the Mansion twice. It was for a few afternoon affairs so it wasn't that exciting. I did wander the property and ended up in the video game room. It's where they do a lot of Kendra's interviews, I've noticed. I swear to you the high score on one of the pinball machines is still James Caan. He lived there for most of the '70s and he must have concentrated on playing pinball all the time. What else is there to do? Can you smell my sarcasm? Good.
"
Wife Swap": That dad Richard had to be an actor. His outbursts seemed like he was reading from a script...a bad one. I think they try to manipulate this show to make conflict. A lot of people watch this show because they want to imagine what it'd be like to have a different wife. Luckily our friends at ABC make it look awful so people stay together. Good looking out. (

"
Amazing Race": This show constantly makes me feel anxious and always makes me want to drink water. It's exhausting to watch all that running. I don't know if I could do this show. My job of sitting on a couch watching shows gives me all the exercise I need. Seriously...find someone with a more conditioned thumb from all my channel surfing! (

"
Desperate Housewives": That whole storyline with Edie's husband stealing Mrs. McClusky's cat until she apologized to Edie was creepy. And I'm sorry to burst everyone's bubble but that storyline is a repeat! Yes, that's right. They've already done it before. Susan stole the neighbor's cat (or was it a dog?) and hid it in her garage in hopes that when she "found" it, the new neighbors would like her. And this was only one or two seasons ago. Sorry "DH" writers. You're not gonna repeat stuff past me. (

"
I Love Money": If Megan didn't wear a bikini 24/7 I wonder if she would've made it to the final three. Since this show is pretty much a discount version of "
Big Brother" anyway, I wonder if Keesha would've made it to the final three if she didn't STOP wearing bikinis mid season. Megan quit before the "jury" got to rip her apart. Smart move! BTW, did it seem like we watched more promos for the Hip-Hop Honors than the actual show tonight? Did anybody else notice that editing note bottom left corner of the screen just before Hoopz was told she got them all right? It said "crew remove." Nice edit, VH1. (

"
The Ex List": This feels like a high-concept romantic comedy pitch that someone had the bright idea to turn into a TV show. Elizabeth Reaser is definitely cute and likable, but the premise is just such a stretch and I saw every "twist" coming. I wonder if they will show her mole on the DVD version.
"
Ghost Whisperer": So Melinda and her husband are trying to have a baby, which definitely makes me wonder: What would a child of a ghost whisperer be like? Would he/she be able to see ghosts too? Or would they possess some kind of other strange, supernatural power? Like walking through walls? Or x-ray vision? Or being able to predict reality show winners? Now THAT would be cool.
