My Crystal Ball Needs Tweaking

Oh well, one out of four on the elimination guesses.

I think that the other three I mentioned will be eliminated before the final 12. However, I'm a little concerned that the Sanjaya kid finished 4th among the boys. That just reinforces my belief that a large portion of the American public is stoopid.

In other television news, Survivor has been OK so far, but not great. I'll continue to watch that show as long as it's on the air, much like senior citizens who've stuck with Bob Barker all these years.

Mrs. U and I have been fans of Lost since the show began. Unfortunately, Heroes is now killing the Lost experience for us. The excellence and fast pace of Heroes is really putting Lost to shame and exposing its weaknesses. We've decided to watch Lost until the end of this season, and then have a sitdown family meeting to discuss whether we'll watch Season 4 beginning next fall. Lost always raises more questions than it answers, and I fear that I won't give a crap once they finally reveal the answers. Do I really need to wait until 2009 to have a 2004 question answered? The best thing that could happen to Lost is if they come out and announce that next season is the last, then they can just work toward the climax without stringing people along for years with no end in sight. Take a cue from the BBC, Lost. Sometimes less is more (see the BBC Office and Extras).
