First of all, let me ask this: Is it just me or is Safeguard‘s new TV commercial for their promo raffle a little off? It’s starting to make my head itch. I mean, come on, we’re in the middle of El Nino and their commercial seems to be encouraging people to waste water!
I’m trying to find the video on YouTube so I can post the TV ad here. Does anyone have a link to that video?
Anyway, this is the time of the year when I am usually irritated by insensitive TV ads hooked to reality shows. Allow me to talk about them.
AMERICAN IDOL Season 9
Almost every year I hear my friends say “this is the worst season ever.” They said that about Carrie Underwood’s season, also Chris Daughtry’s, and Jordin Sparks’, and David Cook’s. And I was always like, “That’s so not true.” My favorite so far is still Season 5 (Taylor Hicks, Katharine McPhee, Elliott Yamin, Chris Daughtry) and Season 7 (David Archuleta, David Cook).
What can I say about this year’s American Idol? I have three words: WORST. SEASON. EVER.
Especially after this week’s elimination? Gooosh. If it weren’t for Didi Benami, I’d stop watching this show. I mean, Alex Lambert and Lily Scott got eliminated!!? What’s wrong, America?
<insert frustrated sigh here>
Darn. But my love for Didi Benami is greater than my hatred towards the entire season. So I’m still in.
THE AMAZING RACE Season 16
The latest season of my most-loved reality show has been airing for a month already and I am sooo enjoying it. I honestly am surprised why I still love the show when my favorite team never wins (except for Tyler Denk and James Branaman, they’re so hot, I was rooting for them since Day 1 and I almost threw an Amazing Race party when they won).
Last season, I was so in love with Maria and Tiffany but they quit. Season 10 (All Stars), beauty queens Dustin and Kandice got all my loving but they lost. Season 4, Colin and Christie failed to win the race, either. Still love the show, though.
This season, all my cheers and prayers go to the cowboys Jet and Cord. Smart, smart players, I love it. Here’s hoping they win.
And I’m loving Caite. Her boyfriend Brent is a piece of wood but I love her. Hope they make it to the final 3.
PILIPINAS GOT TALENT
When I first heard Ai Ai Delas Alas would join Kris Aquino and Freddy “FMG” Garcia to complete the judging triumvirate for this reality franchise, I was disappointed. I was never a fan of Aiai’s. I found her corny and her humor, forced. Especially after that bullshit called “Ruffa and Ai.”
But now, she’s my favorite judge. She’s a lot funnier. Spontaneity is something I didn’t expect from her. She’s one hilarious judge. I love her.
I just hope they stop showing the first round auditions now and move on the next round.
MY OWN REALITY
Television has become my default sanctuary. I’ve been very, very unhappy lately. God, I just want this season to end.

Wait till you see the TIDE commercial, it has the same concept with Safeguard because of their promo… tsk tsk tsk…
On the other side, Hope you will overcome whaterver you are feeling right now.. hai… I feel you!
saw na the Tide Commercial. pati yung Ariel.
Grabe naman. OK yung campaign eh, wrong timing lang talaga.
Have to agree with you that Taylor Hicks is the best thing AI has ever seen! Very talented, very down to earth. But I need to correct you on one thing: Taylor’s season was season 5 not 6. His season (5) still holds the record for the highest ratings for AI in the last decade. Idol has not nor will ever be quite as good as that season. Taylor is the man!
i don’t really like taylor that much but that season was the best!
And I also have to correct you that Season 7 was David and David.
haha. thanks for this, i got lost in numbers!
True. I saw the commercial ad of Safeguard and TIDE.
My gosh.
Kinda pissed me off there.
i also saw it… but it isnt so bad…
good that you like aiai now…:-)
True. Sya yung inaabangan ko sa Got Talent ngayon. haha
kaloka talaga ang ads na yun! hahaha
