AGT 2010: Final 4 Perform for a Million Dollar Prize

Tonight the America’s Got Talent 2010 final four faced off for the title of “Best New Act in America”, and a million dollars. The final four are: Jackie Evancho, Prince Poppycock, Fighting Gravity and Michael Grimm.

I think Prince Poppycock and Jackie Evancho lead the talent area, but all four acts have huge followings so it’s anybody’s contest.

1. Prince Poppycock - Opera singer
What can you say about Poppycock? I don’t think he will run away with this contest. I think he’s good and verging on great, and perfect for Vegas. I’m just not sure he can pull the young votes needed to win. Tonight will have to be amazing in the first position. He went back to his original opera. I think it was a good choice. The costume screamed Vegas, of course. It was a little boring, especially by Prince Poppycock standards. Piers Morgan buzzed him, wow.

BB12: Which Final Four House Guest Should Win? Jury House Update

Big Brother 12 has been full of highs and lows, like any other season. The drama was surprisingly low for what might have been a good cast. The lies were still there, but for the most part they were white lies (sans Matt's big fat lie).

After Ragan left the BB12 house tonight, evicted by Britney and Enzo, the only fun part was watching the jury house.

This was the first glimpse inside this season.
Rachel was shown basking in her own glory before Kathy arrived to keep her company. Rachel got the rundown of Kathy's demise after Matt played his Golden POV from Pandora's Box.

To Kathy's delight, Matt followed with the first CD (showing his Golden POV move) and did not tell Rachel it was a double eviction. The CD showed Brendon getting his head shaved for the Veto he won. Matt said, "He looks like a penis." He also thinks Britney is evil.... for lying to him. Why do I not feel bad for Matt the Rat? 

The Amazing Race Final 4 in 2 Parts

Cara & Jaime lead the first leg
CBS Sunday 8/7c 4/26/2009

This season of the CBS hit The Amazing Race is getting down to the wire. With only 4 teams left in the race it's becoming another battle of wills. Who wants it more this time? The final 4 teams of The Amazing Race are: Lakisha & Jennifer, Victor & Tammy, Margie & Luke, and Cara & Jaime. That is the order the teams started in tonight.

The only constant in The Amazing Race is that everything changes by the end of the hour...everything. The teams had to endure the cultures of China tonight, including a foot massage and a swim in the Olympic pool. Sounds fun... nope!

In the fashion of every Race Roadblock, tonight's turned out to be harder (read more painful) than they looked.

First a 'cleansing' foot massage. I felt sorry for Luke on this one. He volunteered eagerly (almost demanded) and could not hear the screams and moans of anguish the ladies before him were enduring. See, the key to this foot massage is to push ones thumb up through the center of the receivers foot with all of your strength. The tiny ladies administering these sadistic looking 'massages' looked like they were enjoying it way too much.

After everyone survived the first Race Roadblock, it was on to the Olympic site. The Amazing Race final 4 hit the detour (where 2 tasks are available and they must choose and complete one). This week's was all about swimming and Michael Phelps, or diving like the Chinese.

Only Victor and Tammy chose to dive. Both divers had to jump off a spring board and hit the water at exactly the same time, and receive a score of 5 from both judges. It turned out to be a bad choice for Victor and Tammy. They eventually gave up and went to the other task, but not before dropping to a far 3rd.

The other teams all chose to swim like Michael Phelps...well, not quite. Each Racer had to swim the length of the Olympic pool twice. It was not pretty. Jennifer had a major meltdown, as a non-swimmer. Her sister Lakisha stayed with her and talked her through it, assuming they were out of the Amazing Race. "Finish strong" became their montra.

When the last place starting team of Jaime & Cara showed up at what they thought was their first 1st place pit stop Phil Keoghan told them it was just the first leg and gave them another clue. Wow, bummer for them!

Margie & Luke are hot on the heals of Jaime & Cara. Victor & Tammy are in 3rd with a larger gap. Lakisha & Jennifer do not know they are still in it yet, let's hope they do finish the 'leg' strong.

Next week we'll see the end of this double leg of The Amazing Race, and find out who is in the final 3. And who is Racing for $1,000,000.00!
