LADIES and Gents

It’s been a big week, Super bowl Big! It’s been a week of ups and downs, winners and losers and heartache and joy. For women and men around the nation the Super bowl of TV finales were aired this week.
In the Rose bowl there was a great match up with team Bevin and team Tessa playing for Andy’s heart on the Bachelor. It was a season of player differences, great performances and victory of the heart. Bevin left it all on the field like Peyton Manning and Tessa withheld emotion like Bill Belichick. In the end Tessa won with the Patriots playbook; give little, stay consistent and reveal yourself when it matters most. Men, if you don’t know what I’m talking about ask your wives, or maybe you do because you know you were watching.

Next up was the American Bowl. A season of talent came down to a beatboxer and a seventeen year old phenom. No I’m not talking about the Contender, but the one and only American Idol. Now I didn’t watch the entire season, kinda like NCAA basketball, but I did watch the final two weeks for all the good action. It was a tough year of talent, but in the end the girls came through with the victory. Jordin Sparks, from Arizona took the honors. She’s getting a mega contract with a signing bonus of inevitable success.

And not to leave out the Dancing Bowl. The show that has mesmerized America and my parents did not disappoint this season. Legit athletes such as Laila Ali and Apolo Anton Ohno put on their dancing shoes, tight clothes and learned how to dance…all for a silver disco ball trophy. Sweet. The Olympic Gold speed skater, Apolo Anton Ohno won and now he’ll be known as a dancing champion instead of an Olympic Gold medal winner.

Now we can look forward to So You think You Can Dance, America’s Got Talent and On the Lot for our reality tv fix. My question is when are we going to see a show called American Athlete or So You Think You Can Dunk?

In conclusion, TV watching is a sport. We live and die with reality TV and that ever constant, “each vote counts” mentality. Women and men (you know you watch) sit in front of their TVs with a Super bowl spread of chips and dips and watch to the end. It’s about dedication, it’s about heart and the strength to keep it together when your favorite idol gets kicked off. Christian stayed in bed for three days after Sanjya was voted off. Reality TV teaches the life lesson to give it our best and dreams really can come true.

p.s. The Spurs are winning it all this year.

Be Better,
Christi
