  1. The only show I know I’m missing is The Lying Game so any requests before I see those will go in the post. Everything else will go in the comments.

  2. What were the ratings for the oscars?

    1. 39.340 million (11.7)

      1. A little better than last year :) thanks!

  3. Tabitha Takes Over is having a great season by the looks of those ratings.

    Is anyone here still watching Jersey Shore on a weekly basis? I mean really? These past two seasons have been about nothing but The Situation threatening to tell Snooki’s BF about them, Snooki and Situation fighting, and the same old getting drunk and having random sex with strangers. It annoys me how much they get paid for simply living in a crappy house and acting like fools.

    Missed BGC last night, need to catch it.

    1. “It annoys me how much they get paid for simply living in a crappy house and acting like fools.”

      I guess that fits bad girls too. LMAO. But then again the tricks on BGC ain’t getting paid worth nothing.

      1. Started watching JS at the beginning but just like last season it got boring watching pretty much the same thing so I’ve stopped watching.

        Also, who is that fine ass guy on your avi Khy?

        1. My problem with Jersey Shore is there haven’t been any good drama since season 1. The crazy fights with people in public was epic. What happened to that? Weird how they don’t show that anymore. Makes me think it’s even more scripted.

          Isn’t he the most beautiful creature that ever walked the earth? He’s a brittish(faints) actor named Lucien Laviscount.

          *fans self*

          Guurrrl.

          1. He is cute. Puurrrrrr!!! LOL!

            Ok let me stop. I love older men but every once in awhile my daughter will show me a young cutie pie that makes me want to be a “Cougar”! Nick Jonas, Tayler Lautner and some other guy. can’t remember who it was right now.

            1. I’m in love with Taylor Lautner. He’s going to be my husband one day. I know it.

              *eye twitches*

              But I like me some older men too. I like all types of men. All races. Men are beautiful regardless.

            2. @ Khy

              Besides being older I don’t have a type. If they are an actor or singer they may not be classically handsome by Hollywood standards but they have a style or swagger that makes them sexy as hell to me. For instance (CJ and I discussed this on here a long time ago), I find Tommy Lee Jones sexy as hell. There is just something about that country man that just makes me sigh. Sean Connery is sexy as well. Denzel of course and I used to have a crush on John Amos (James on Goodtimes). So as you see I lust with no rhyme or reason. LOL! And all these guys are old enough to be my daddy!

            3. What about Daniel Craig? Sexy ass.

              Age just isn’t a big deal to me. Everyone has preferences and that’s fine, but sometimes you have to be careful. Your “must list” may be so long and your standards may be so high that you might be shutting a good man out.

            4. Oh yeah DC is another one!

              Yeah I know about the list which is why the man I’m with and I have been together off and on for almost 19 years now. Regardless of what may cause problems between the two of us and no matter which of us says “You know, I think I need a break from you” (usually me saying that), we always somehow end up right back together like we were never apart. He’s not my daughter’s father but for the last 11 years of her life he has been a constant so she tells everyone he’s her dad!

            5. “we always somehow end up right back together like we were never apart.”

              Sound like soulmates. That’s beautiful! ^^^

            6. Thanks! He’s my best friend and can be my worst enemy because of course he knows where the bodies are buried! LOL!

            7. Out of all of the Disney Prince’s I believe The Beast is the best looking one! but that’s my opinion! LOL!

          2. I agree that boy in your avi is cute but a cute face doesn’t do much for me. I mean you can’t see a face when you’re sitting on it. I prefer Gaston. Not that underwear model. That lumber jack from Beauty and the Beast. You don’t have to worry about feeling with a man like that.

            1. I think the Beast would be more gentle than Gaston.

            2. I would prefe rthe Beast. Did you check out those shoulders and that chest when he transformed? Good Lord!

            3. LMAO @ where this conversation has turned to!

            4. The beast would be too gentle. He’s all nice and shit. What a pussy. No, but if you fuck Gaston you’re gonna feel it for a while.

  4. I started watching the voice this season..i like it..its new…never been into American Idol.
    Two and A Half Men is starting too suck…no one can replace Charlie. I forgot to see the river last week did it get better ill see it tonight finally.. With Jersey Shore, less partying and more fighting please thanks:) Grimm is getting boring too :/ This week on BBW was a filler episode :/ The challenge was ok hopefully nxt week will be better. PR All Stars is almost over :( Glad to see BGC ratings are finally picking up!

    1. The Voice is a good show and I hate talent shows. But Grimm is my shit I can’t hate on it they can do nothing in an episode and I will love it. Not to mention I still remember the lead actor when he was on Road Rules.

      1. oh crap really?? not that many people from reality tv make it as a real actor.

  5. Battle of the exes is doing good this season, did it got renew? Or no?

    Bad girls club when up, I am suprised

    1. MTV hasn’t made any decision on the challenges. It isn’t renewed after this season like Real World but MTV generally waits until the end of the season to make a decision.

      The show is doing well so if they want another 1-2 seasons they will get them.

  6. I always thought Adele looked way older than her years but it may be just cause of the make up-

    PICTURE LINK

    She looks more her age here.

  7. The Lying Game now in the post.

    1. It doesn’t look like it’s so good for renewal.

      Honestly wouldn’t be too upset anymore these last few episode went downhill and Revenge is where it’s at now.

      1. Haven’t watched and scared to start now because of the ratings but I hope they at least renew for another 13 eps or makes sure everything is tied up at the end of this current season. As long as fans gets a solid conclusion.

  8. Its actually 3rd best rated show on MTV and number one new show on cable ratings for Wednesday so i wouldn’t be surprised
    Plus some of the cast have stated on interviews that their is rumor going around that’s theirs is a summer challenge
    My guess would be that they are waiting to filmed that next season of real world at the virgin islands so they will get some of the cast on it.

    Is it true that they want o do a bad girls challenge show?

    1. Probably won’t happen for a long ass time. Right now fans are really pushing for an All Star themed season and that has yet to materialize. I fail to see why Oxygen would pump out 3 seasons of Love Games at the drop of a hat but won’t do what fans really want to see.

      1. “I fail to see why Oxygen would pump out 3 seasons of Love Games at the drop of a hat but won’t do what fans really want to see.”

        Maybe it’s fear. I mean you have these girls who have been labled as “Bad” and they acted a fool in someway or another on their season. And you have girls from the following seasons trying to out do them. So the fear comes in when you actually put these girls in a house together. They might start feeling they have something to prove and seriously try to hurt another.

        And then there is also the fact that I’m sure some of these girls saw themselves on tv and and since then have matured and won’t go that route so the fans are disappointed. whatever the case may be if teh producers get thirsty enough they may try something along teh lines of a challenge or putting old girls back in a house together but I wouldn’t hold my breath. I would love to see a BGC’s I Love Money or Money Hungry . It would truly be good tv if done right

        1. I sometimes used to think that Love Games was a “test” and that if it did really good then more interesting spin-offs would’ve came along. But the whole Love thing is dead and the only successful franchise that is still running off of that is The Bachelor, which sorta created it in the first place. Not to mention a lot of the girls they picked for Love Games were lame.

          I have a feeling they’re waiting for season 10. S9 should be filming now and by the time that airs it should be clear as to what S10 will be. If Oxygen posts Audition information like they always do then we’ll know it’s a regular season.

  9. Well this sucks balls.

  10. I will say this episode of TLG wasn’t as good as previous episodes, but I really hope the finale numbers next week are good enough for renewal. :/

    1. The problem with American show producers is they like to drain a show into the dust. This show should be ending after 20 episodes.
      Just let them find their mother and live happily ever after already.

      1. Stations have been trying to pump out shows that only lasts for a certain amount of episodes(like a miniseries) but it hasn’t taken off yet.

        1. I think TLG would be perfect at around 3 seasons, but I am a fan. I am not tired of the show like PLL which is truly just stalling.

          1. I had to stop watching PLL. I forgot what was so intriguing. Doesn’t anyone ever get laid in that town? Boring.

            1. Yeah,I am pretty sure this season will be my last watching it weekly. The mystery has really left the show and it’s just a bunch of dumb girls running around. They can’t reveal anything so it’s just fillers every week.

            2. I have never heard that phrase.

          2. Three Seasons?
            What are they going to do for three Seasons

            1. Kill people and find out who is behind it. Duh. And along the way find their birth mom and everything else.

            2. The characters aren’t that interesting.
              Outside of the DA and Sutton’s mom, none of the others is that interesting.

              Ethan, especially, is surely one of the worst characters in the history of television.

            3. Whatever, I love Emma and I love to hate Sutton. Charisma has also done a great job. Thayer is awesome. I just love the show. Maybe it’s not as great as I feel it is in my mind, but I can’t help that.

            4. How do I brown a chicken?

            5. A whole chicken or is it cut up?

            6. Lol, does he mean fry it ? make it looked cooked? I guess I am too Spanish to understand these sayings sometimes

            7. Cut up.

              Massie, cooks only please, lol.

            8. Uh Huh, well don’t burn down the kitchen. Good luck, chef

        2. Most shows should last about two seasons unless it reboots… like Skins or Spooks.
          Glee should be like that. They should be kicking out people consistently (the Seniors)

          1. Glee should’ve lasted only one season. It should’ve been about a grout of outcasts trying to make the best of their senior year so they join the Glee Club and the 22 episode season follow them to their eventual winning of Nationals. End series.

  11. WAT IS THE BGC MADNESS IS IT LIKE A SNEAK PEAK OF BGC ALL STARS?… IS THIS GOIN TO A SPECIAL OR LIVE WITH BGC CAST??>…

    1. It’s nothing. Just a voting thing where you go on their facebook and vote for your favorite bad girl and after a few weeks the girl with the most votes wins.

      Some fans are thinking it’s a casting strategy for All Stars but I highly doubt it. If so why not just come right out and say it was for All Stars?

      1. That guy’s neck is scary.

        1. Stop being jealous Skonka.

    1. I just saw it too. The world must be coming to an end.

      1. I just saw that she and JWOWW are shooting a show for MTV in Jersey City, which is an odd place for me to see them at. SO I guess their show is underway after all

  12. SNOOKI IS PREGNANT

    LINK

    1. A girl does that much drunk banging it was bound to happen. This is why I am pro-choice. I choose to abort her baby.

    2. And well her free ride has reached its end. I for one don’t feel sorry for her. With all the bank she’s making from acting a damn fool she could afford a whole country full of condoms.

      She might get a series on VH1 about her raising her demon spawn and that might last two seasons and then she’ll disappear forever.

  13. Going through this computer I see a pic of a man in underwear and I am like, wtf? How did this get in here.

    I am wondering who the fuck this is… turns out it’s It.

    1. LOL. My DropBox is full of vaginas and I am always forgetting why I put them there.

    2. Post that It pic steupz.

      1. Oh nooo, it wasn’t named properly so I have to go through a bunch.
        Are you sure you haven’t seen it? He has a beard

        1. I got it. Just googled it. No idea why I wanted to see that. It is disgusting to me.

          1. Who is your avatar? He looks like a combination of Justin Bieber and Chris Brown.
