Reality Check

Time to give my analysis of the Reality TV shows I watch. First, Celebrity Apprentice. Annie Dukes should have won. Annie played the best game throughout the show and raised more money for her charity than anyone else, including the winner Joan Rivers. And this includes the $500,000 Joan won on the last task, which was changed so she would stand a chance to win. Donald with the "sympathy" win for the loud-mouthed Joan Rivers and her daughter.

Next was The Amazing Race. For the first time I did not have a clear favorite to win it. All three finalist couples had their good and bad moments. The winners, Tammy and Victor, had a huge advantage in China where a lot of the race took place but everything was even when they left China for the U.S. so can't say it helped them win.

Survivor. Each "season" I say I am not going to watch but end up doing so, because nothing better to watch on TV. JT definitely was the best player and derved the win. Wasn't anyone else even close, including Steven, his "shared brain" with JT. I would like to have seen the "most popular" (and $100,000) go to Taj, or someone other than the $1,000,000 winner, JT.

Dancing With the Stars. Best season. Ever. Anyone of the three could have won without an argument from me. Melissa overcome a last-minute start as a repacement. Gilles danced to perfection. Shawn was a competitor and Inproved the most during the season of the three finalists, so she would be my pick as the winner, so I am glad Shawn won.

American Idol. My favorite of the Reality TV shows. Watch every episode every season. Alos probally the best Top 10 and Fian 4 ever. I was a big Danny Gokey from the beginning an I predicted a Danny and Adam final, after the first couple of weeks of the season. But, Danny ran out of steam, and Chris Allen kept charging the last few weeks and made it to the final two with Adam Lambert. Adam was the most consistent throughout the season and is definitely the most marketable of this season's cast. Adam should win tonight, but don't count Chris out of it. Both are deserving of the title. Both will have singing careers, as will Danny.
