Duggars, Racing and Dancing

It's right in the middle of the fall TV season and I am loving.  There is almost always something for me to watch on the DVR.  My current reality favs are 19 20 Kids and Counting, The Amazing Race and Dancing With the Stars.  I have also been catching Survivor.

Lets start with Dancing With the Stars.  My current favorite is JR.  I am so glad he was the one to get the first 2 perfect scores of the season.  For a couple of weeks I have felt like the first 30 was right around the corner and it was between JR and Ricki.  I would have been happy for Ricki too if she would have got the first 30 but I was happy it was JR.  I especially like his instant dance this week.  I am not loving Hope or Nancy at this point.  I don't see Nancy taking the dancing very much farther.  I am finding Hope and Maks to be irritating.  I wasn't loving them in the first place so when Maks had his little melt down a couple of weeks ago it was the last straw for me.  I am so over them.  And then there is Rob just trucking along, doing better every week.  I think some "stars" were eliminated before there time leaving others in longer than they should have been.  Its getting down to the nitty gritty now.  Who is going home this week??

I LOVE The Amazing Race.  I seriously would love to be on the show some day.  My favorites this season are Andy and Tommy (the snowboarders) and Bill and Cathi.  Who would think the Grandparents would still be in at this point?  They are still doing great.  I think my favorite part of the last show was when Andy and Tommy beat Ernie and Cindy of the mat in a foot race.  That to me is what the show is all about.  I also don't really like Cindy very much, she just bothers me with how controlling and anal she seems to be.  Is it show editing or is she really like that?  In my opinion she is really like that.  And Jennifer, girl,  you should have just gone back to the bus station when you weren't sure what was next instead of just sitting around hoping you would see another racer.  You just eliminated yourself right there.

Finally the Duggars.  They announced just this morning on the Today show that they are expecting #20.  Crazy business I tell ya!  I am going to tell you how I really feel about that on my main blog over here.  Tonight is the season finale.  In the previews it appears to be a question and answer session so it should be interesting to see how they announce that to the whole family.  I don't feel like anything really remarkable has happened this season except for one of the boys falling into the orchestra pit in Atlanta.  I am looking forward to their world tour.  It should be interesting seeing them travel in a large group with small children.  I have traveled in a large group with People to People so I kind of know what it is like but we were all the same age with 4 or 5 chaperons.
