December 20th- December 24th

I can't believe that there is basically nothing on TV right now. It's the only thing I hate about the holidays.

Tabitha's Salon Take-Over: I honestly forgot that this show had started but I love it! It helps that she's from the UK. Just like every reality show, there is drama, and it usually comes in the form of an unruly stylist or uncaring owner. It is on Bravo! at 10pm Monday nights.

16&Pregnant: As always, they have to have a girl who considers adoption for their child in every season. This season, Ashley struggles with the choice. She is hoping her aunt and uncle will adopt her baby but she doesn't know whether or not it's the right decision.

*Friday Night Lights will be be back January 5th on Direct TV's The 101 Network*

December 13-December 17

The only show on this week is 16&Pregnant. That doesnt give me a lot to write about.
*Megan has a hard time getting her gamer boyfriend to help her out with just about anything.

My other fave shows are returning...
  • House: January 17th
  • Glee: February 6th
  • OTH: January 25th
  • American Idol: January 19th-20th
  • Secret Life of the American Teenager: Sometime in January. (As much as I hate this show, I have to watch to see what happens. It's like a car crash!)

Kayla (16&Pregnant)

I think that this has been my favorite episode so far this season. Kayla is a Southern belle from Alabama who does pageants, loves horses and even hunts. Her boyfriend/fiance J.R. works as a mechanic and because he doesn't make much, they haven't moved into their own place yet or gotten married. Both of their parents feel really strongly about them getting married before their little boy, Rylan, is born. Because of her pregnancy, she is no longer able to participate in pageants or go to UAB with all her friends to get her degree in nursing.

As much as she loves J.R., she is worried about moving out of her parent's house and he doesn't really seem to understand that. His parents offer his grandparent's house old house for them to live in, but only if they get married. During  a photo shoot that her mom arranged, J.R. proposed and now they not only have  baby to pay for, but a wedding and fixing up the house. Not long after, she starts having contractions even though she is 5 weeks early. When they arrive at the hospital, they find out that she is already 7cm dilated and thus Rylan Jayce is born.

Kayla takes a month off of school because she is so afraid of leaving little Rylan alone with anyone but her because he was premature. When she finally returns, she realizes that her and her friends have grown apart. All they are preparing for is prom and all she wants to do is spend time with Rylan. J.R. moves in with Kayla and her parents because they haven't moved out yet. She is still very hesitant about moving out and getting married, but is taking things one step at a time and making sure that all of her decisions are what's best for Rylan.

A Very Glee Christmas



The only part of the storyline that wasn't addressed in this is the official end of Finnchel. While Finn and Rachel are on the hunt for a new tree after Sue chopped theirs to bits, Rachel tries yet again to apologize. Finn decides that time is what will heal their relationship and officially breaks up with her. My heart was breaking the whole time but at the very end of the episode, the way they were looking at each other was the glimmer of hope that all us Finnchel 'shippers needed to survive through the hiatus.

December 6 - December 10 Shows

*This week, we have a lot of "Last new episode for a while" happening. Shows in which this will be occurring will be BOLD

Glee: Finn tries to bring a little Christmas spirit and Sue tries to rig the secret Santa. Dramalicious!

OTH: A hurricane hits Tree Hill and Brooke's life is in danger. Clay's creepy stalker that looks like his dead wife returns to terrorize Quinn.

16&Pregnant: I haven't seen a whole lot of what Kayla's story will cover, but she does like horses and her love seems to be a nice guy.

Ann Crowned Winner of Cycle 15

I did not get to watch the finale but I did see on The CW that Ann Ward is America's Next Top Model. I can't say I completely agree with this because I don't think she's pretty at all. I haven't watched but 2 or 3 episodes this season so I can't even say that she has a lack of talent. Nevertheless, congratulations!

Special Education (Glee) Overview

Sectionals here we come! Ok this episode was a very good exposé of the self-centered collective of people that New Directions has become this season. In switching up the typical set list of a Finnchel duet, Rachel solo and then upbeat group number the group was thrown  into a tailspin. Everyone was so worried about whether or not they'd be singing the solos that they forgot their purpose of being a team.

Santana, without reservations, finally revealed the truth of her and Finn's relations to Rachel. It's been a long time coming and we knew it had to be addressed but I wasn't looking forward to it. I am so in love with Finn and Rachel together but Rachel has become a mega-diva drama queen this season. I think their win at sectionals last year and the realization that she is one of the bigger stars of the group has gone to her head. They went to go see Emma in attempt to fix the cracks but when Rachel tells Finn that she made out with Puck to get back at him later in the episode, he breaks it off. Though I am heartbroken, it's for a good cause. To me their relationship has been just a little too good to be true so far and this was a good dose of reality. I don't anticipate it lasting long because of the way they were looking at each other during "Dog Days Are Over" (LOVE LOVE LOVE). They obviously love each other and their feelings are not just going to go away. *See season one*

In happier news, for some, Carl and Emma got married! They went to Vegas and got hitched while the club was away at sectionals. Obviously, Mr. Schue is not in love with this event but I think the Wemma ship has sailed. I mean, they are total opposites and while that screams "let's be together" to most people, I am not sold on why they like each other. It vaguely reminds me of Twilight. Eww, I just made a Twilight reference.

In any event, at sectionals the solo went to Santana with a lovely cover of "Valerie", a song I have never heard of but really like. The show opened with a very cute Sam+Quinn duet of "(I've Had) The Time Of My Life". Basically the same choreography of Finn+Rachel's "Faithfully" from regionals last season but who really notices that. During Santana's solo, Brittany and Mike got to stand in the spotlight with a very large dance number. The Warblers did a cover of "Hey, Soul Sister" which I think I would've enjoyed more if I hadn't played that song a hundred times for marching band. The show resulted in a tie between the two clubs which means they will both be going to regionals. Which makes sense so that Kurt will also get to go. Maybe by then he'll transfer back to McKinley.
