Ramblings about entertainment and other things
This was bound to happen. Donald Trump fired himself.
It looks like The Apprentice didn’t make the schedule cut, and when Trump found out about this, he quit.
The real estate mogul issued a statement on Friday saying he has informed the U.S. television network he is “moving on from ‘The Apprentice’ to a major new TV venture,” though he declined to elaborate.
After the shoe incident at Dave’s Blog, I couldn’t resist. Wes suggested this, since Andy did a great job with his motivational posters for “24”, I thought I’d give it a shot:
Thanks to Remote Access for hosting the Carnival of Bauer this week!
Remember the love of Sayid’s life, naomi Nadia?
That was the woman that Charlie helped in the alley
thanks to Sthnbelle for the correction!
CBS has canceled the darma, “Jericho”. They’re blaming it on losing audience after the long hiatus that took place midseason.
Jenna Fisher, who plays Pam on “The Office”, broke her back on Monday, but is expect to make a full recovery in four to six weeks.
OK, we have a couple of hours until the next episode of “Lost”, “Greatest Hits”, airs, and I got to thinking. A few people are supposed to die in the final episode. Probably a few in this upcoming episode too. My bets?
815ers:
Sawyer finally did what he wanted to do a couple of episodes ago, and killed the real “Sawyer”. The main thing he has at stake on the island now is his relationship with Kate. You can bet that if push came to shove and the camp was attacked, or Kate came within harm’s way, Sawyer will be there to try and save her. If that does happen, I don’t think he’ll survive.
Charlie’s luck has run out. Desmond isn’t going to be able to save him every time he cheats fate, and there are going to be a lot of opportunities to die coming up.
I hope that whoever dies, the writers make it a meaningful death, and not just a random shot. Those are shocking and have impact, but they always leave a “that was useless” feeling.
Others:
Mikhail nearly died once, but since the fence wasn’t set on full power, he didn’t die. I think he WANTS to die at this point, since he even thanked Locke for it when he got pushed in the first place.
That leaves Ben, Juliet, Richard and Tom. We really don’t know any of the other “Others”.
Juliet is still important, because she holds the key to helping the pregnant women on the island.
Richard was just revealed as one of the original “Others”, so I doubt he’ll be going any time soon.
That leaves Tom and Ben.
I like Tom’s character a lot, but since he doesn’t have anything compelling going on with the story right now, I think he’s a goner.
That leaves Ben.
I’m really on the fence about Ben. On the one hand, there’s probably a lot more story to tell, and there’s a nice conflict brewing between Locke and Ben. Yes, I think Locke will be OK, despite the bullet to the gut last week. Now, on the other hand, someone (or, after last week…. something) might want to get rid of Ben, realizing that Locke might be the one they were really hoping to get put in charge of things. If he does die, I think it’s pretty likely it’ll be at the hands of Locke. That will put Locke in the predicament of how to deal with Jacob, and what’s really happening on the island.
From the previews, this sure looks like a Charlie centric episode. Desmond even says something like “You have to die!”, to Charlie in those. The Lost podcast this week even featured Dominic Monaghan being interviewed, saying that he didn’t mind if his character died on the show.
It sure doesn’t look good.
Tonight’s “Lost” episode, “Greatest Hits” will be aired tonight as usual. We’ll also be getting “Lost: The Answers” tomorrow night, at 10:15 Eastern. Tomorrow night’s show will be a recap show, and will be hosted by Carlton Cuse and Damon Lindelof.
Looks like Jack will be back!
