The Greatest American Dog is showing just what dogs can do and I’m really excited as it seems the show is becomming a summer hit! On the last episode Brandy was eliminated from the game, giving Travis some room to breath and mingle. Brandy seemed to be holding him back a bit as she was very protective but with Brandy gone, Travis turned his attention to Laura. They had bonded a bit before but now they were full on flirting, through their dogs of course. Too bad the showmance was killed just as quickly as it started.

For the Dog Bone challenge the dogs were tested on their intelligence. They were given the task of finding their favorite foods behind a wall. The quickest dog to retrive the food would win the Bone Suite for their owner plus a leg up in the showcase. With an 8 second find, Star gave Bill his second Dog Bone win in a row but Bill had other plans. Since Teresa gave him the suite last round, he decided to repay her by doing the same for her. This mean Teresa would gain the leg up along with the suite, which her dog Leroy seemed to love more then her.

Along the lines of intelligence, the dogs were put to a painting challenge for their showcase. Each pair had to create a painting that represented their relationship. The dogs were the only ones who could touch the canvas, meaning the dogs would become doggie painters. When it came time for judging, Teresa’s leg up helped tremensously as she was named the best in show. She had a dog painting trainer help her create a piece of art that showed that Teresa and Leroy had a loving relationship but one that also had some down sides. The judges seemed to love that more then the art and that’s why they gave her the best in show.

In the last few rounds Travis and Presley were in the bottom of the barrel. Travis knew he had to pick up the pace this time and that he did. he created a meaninful painting that also looked great. The judges loved his symbolizom and that’s what kept him out of the bottom three. Bill and Star remainined in the middle by creating a painting that looked good but lacked a unique touch. The judges thought he did a good job, but didn’t use enough techniques. The last to not be in the bottom three was Beth Joy and Bella Starlet. The judges loved the symbolizom of the spiral and the painting itself. They also loved the fact that Beth Joy worked through Bella’s fear of her front paws, but that was part of a small controversy.

During her time with the judges, Laura spilled the beans that Bella Starlet yelped a few times during her time with the sponges on her paws. Beth Joy didn’t take well to that as she felt Laura was simply trying to get out of being in the bottom three. The talk didn’t work though as the judges hated Laura and Preston’s blob of a heart that looked more like a “pink pretzle”. Also in the bottom three were Laurie and Andrew since the judges thought their painting looked more like a poster then a painting. JD and Galaxy also made it to the bottom three, thankfully, since JD lied to the judges and their painting was too much of a jumbled mess.

In the end Laura’s lack of ability to control Preston’s painting movements and their very rushed painting gave them the boot. I’m sure her showmance’s backing of Beth Joy over herself didn’t please Laura too much so it would have been fun to see how things went down if she stayed. But we will never know and the fight between Laura and Beth Joy will never be more then we saw tonight. Guess we don’t have much to worry about though as the judges get into a small cat fight next week. Is Greatest American Dog turning into the next Big Brother with all these fights? I sure hope so!

Last time on Big Brother 10 Brian’s two boys Dan and Steven were nominated. On the latest episode we see not only the aftermath of the nominations but the aftermath of the food competition as well. Immediately after the nominations were made Dan asked Jessie to talk up in the HoH bedroom. There they agreed on why Dan went up and both still feel that they should stick together if Dan does stay. On the other end Steven does have supporters even if they are scared to say they are. Angie and Keesha came to his side to let him know that he can still stay in the game and both seemed like they would veto him if they won.

Following the chat between Steven and Angie we finally got to see the birth of the current alliance ruling both the HoH and the veto. While Jessie and Michelle flirted, Memphis came up with a plan to secure Jessie and himself two more players for their group. They both decided that Michelle and Angie should join their alliance, giving them a core of four. Of course this happened awhile ago but CBS is just beginning to let is unravel.

Steven’s trial to stay is an interesting one as he’s playing somewhat of a Brian role in opposite. He’s trying to get people upset for him leaving and tried to find friends that would fall into his “poor me” trap. First up was Renny who he used the Hurricane Katrina bond with. They both talked about what they went through and although it may not have secured a vote with Renny it surely didn’t hurt. Next up was Keesha who flat out said that she didn’t want Steven to go. Thanks to that she told him that if she did win the veto that she would take him off, something she would deny a little later.

When it finally did come time for the Power of Veto choosing the six who were competing were Jessie, Michelle, Dan, Libra, Steven and of course Keesha. Before the challenge began Keesha let is slip to her gal pals that she would probably veto Steven if she won the PoV. Michelle was in the room when that went down and she immediately went to Memphis and Jessie to let them know. This turned the group against Keesha and it almost seemed like if the veto was used Keesha could go up. Although Michelle pushed the issue Libra would get the blame a little later.

For the Power of Veto the six players had to decipher Big Brother phrases spelled out in license plate slang. If they got the phrase right they would gain whatever points it was worth, if they were wrong they would be out of the challenge. During the first phrase given both Dan and Jessie were taken out for wrong answers. Keesha finally scooped up the correct answering, giving her a quick 10 points. For the next phrase Steven buzzed in early and took himself out, taking the two nominees and the HoH out. Michelle then answered correctly, tying it up with Keesha. For the third phrase the three girls weren’t playing for points but rather a slop pass. If they did take the pass they would be out of the competition and no longer able to win the veto. Although Libra and Keesha have been on slop for two weeks now, neither took the slop pass. This put a thought in Libra’s head that Keesha was in deed going to veto Steven if she won and that’s the reason she stayed in the game. For the fourth, and last, phrase both Libra and Keesha answered incorrectly which gave the last person standing, Michelle, the win of the veto.

Following the Power of Veto competition everyone started talking about Keesha wanting to veto Steven. When Libra, Steven and Keesha were in the 70s room together Keesha mentioned to Steven that she felt bad since she took his life away. Libra then went outside to let the others know what was said and Steven wasn’t too happy either. He didn’t want Keesha saying that in front of others and told her that Libra was saying things on the bench of the challenge about Keesha trying to save Steven. Keesha didn’t like what she was hearing so went out to confront Libra who denied saying anything at all. This turned Keesha against Libra who she called a “liar” and “shit starter” and ultimately would create the massive fight that went down between Libra, Renny and Jerry.

While Renny and Jerry were sitting in the sauna room, Keesha began bashing Libra. The two others agreed that Libra had to go and Renny let it slip that Libra wasn’t happy with having the two older people on her team for the food comp. Jerry didn’t like that too much and the next morning he let Libra have it. Although I said the last fight in the house between Keesha and April was bad this one was even worse. Libra went off as well as Jerry and Renny ended up joining the fray a little later. In the end it was one crazy fight over nothing really and made Libra look like the bad guy. In my eyes it was Keesha as she’s the one spreading the rumors about Libra. Guess that’s what happens when the houseguests can’t watch the feeds like we can!

Since he knew he was probably going Steven made a move to save himself by asking Jessie and Michelle to veto either himself or Dan. He wanted them to put Libra up in his place or Dan’s place since he felt that everyone would vote Libra out. I caught this entire conversation on the feeds the other day and have it posted at http://youtube.com/bigbrotherloop. If you want to see the unedited version then check it out, it gets rather interesting since they didn’t show Dan’s side of the conversation on the show at all.

When it was finally time for the Power of Veto ceremony we quickly learned that Michelle wasn’t using the veto. From the feeds we saw that she didn’t trust Steven’s word about people wanting Renny out and didn’t feel she had a reason to put her up in any way, shape or form. I’m not sure exactly how the vote will go tomorrow but I’m excited to see who wins the HoH. A shake up in the power would be nice and if the challenge goes the right way we could be in for another week of craziness!

I Love Money may not be the most sophisticated of reality shows but oh will it be insane! With the craziest all stars from your favorite VH1 reality shows it’s sure to be good as they take on competitions similar to the MTV challenge shows. It seems like all the reality staples are here for it to be an amazing show and hopefully it doesn’t disappoint! With Pumkin, Heather and Midget Mac you can’t go wrong!

It seems their first challenge wasn’t even a challenge as half of them couldn’t even get off the boat without even getting wet. Midget Mac has a flashback moment as he has to get in the water, once again, and we all know what happened last time he did that. 12 Pack came to his rescue though and picked him off the boat, giving him a reprieve from drowning this time.

Next up they all met their host, CJ and tells them they are playing for $250,000. Everyone then ran into the house and sprinted for their beds. It seems Nibblz and Toastee have some beef while Toastee has an ally with Pumpkin. Another alliance is 12 Pack and Heat, who have the “party boyz” alliance. Heather and Destiney became friends in Rock of Love 2 and are a perfect alliance in my eyes. The two groups then combined and formed the 12 Pack/Heat/Destiney/Heather alliance, I think I’ll barf now. Whiteboy then tells us that he and Chance/Real grouped together as well.

One thing was then realized as there are 17 people in the game while only 16 beds. Boston was the one without a bed and wanted to share with Toastee, who seemed to just laugh it off. He went to a few others who basically ran away from his offer as well. When CJ returned to the house everyone was given a check for $250,000. We all know they won’t all get it but at least its fun to see them skwirm. They are using the checks to eliminate the players similar to clocks and chains in other VH1 shows.

While they were doing the checks drama began already. Meagan told Pumpkin she had “saggy boobs” after she said she would buy new boobs. They yelling began since Pumpkin wanted people to know she was “ghetto”. Heather on the other hand wanted to remove something, her Brett Michael’s tattoo. Others wanted to help their family, which was nice. But I highly doubt ANY of these people will give money to their family.

It was then game time as the players had to be divided into teams. The news was then revealed that someone would be leaving that night, duh. Bikini’s were then given to everyone to wear… both guys and girls. It was a bit disgusting but what else would you want from VH1? Midget Mac was the only one to not put on the suit which angered Hoopz a bit. He called a word I can’t mention here but it sure did cause a ruckus as he continued to go off on all the girls.

The first challenge then took place to find the two team captains. The two people who could catch the most money in the Money Booth would became the team captains, choose the two teams and also would be safe from being “bounced”. Midget Mac still wouldn’t do the challenge, after babbling a bit, and it was time to begin. Meagan and Brandi C got DQed first since they took the money from the floor. Needless to say nobody else did that then. In the end Hoopz and Whiteboy became the largest money grabbers and became the two team captains.

Everyone was then given a few hours to decide how the teams would go down. Hoopz used the time wisely to see who wanted to be on her team while Boston went around and talked to both Whiteboy and Hoopz to make sure he wasn’t the one going home. With Whiteboy he worked the Jewish angle while he worked the “charm” angle with Hoopz. Not sure how well it worked but who knows. Meagan on the other hand wanted to be on Hoopz’s team but of course that wouldn’t work since Hoopz will obviously pick Pumpkin. Since she knew that was out she had to work on Whiteboy to make sure she didn’t get kicked out first. Nibblz has her own strategy, to lay low and talk on the phone. Not sure if that will work considering how many people can’t stand her lisp to begin with.

Midget Mac then continued his downward spiral by not saying sorry to Brandi. Although Rodeo tried to help him do so, he wouldn’t and it put him even more on the chopping block to leave. With that it was time for the team picking and bouncing to take place. Hoopz and Whiteboy got to choose their teams pick’em style with Hoopz being first. In the end the teams ended up as follows: Hoopzs’ team - Rodeo, 12 Pack, Entertainer, Heather, Toastee, Pumkin, Nibblz / Whiteboy’s team - Chance, Real, Boston, Heat, Destiney, Meagan, Brandi. That means that Midget Mac is the one getting bounced first. He kind of deserves it though, considering he gave up not once but twice! I Love Money sure seems to be one of the craziest, trashiest and hilarious Reality TV shows in a LONG time. And that’s why I think so many people are going to love it!

Read the rest and discuss with fellow fans!
