Prison Break - Manhunt
The second season opens the morning after the escape, as Michael, Linc, Sucre, C-Note and Abruzzi barely manage—with the help of a freight train—to elude Bellick. Check out GMMR’s non-spoilery take on the S2 premiere of Prison Break.

Vanished - Pilot Episode
Debut: The disappearance of a senator’s wife prompts an FBI investigation that turns up more questions than answers. A TV reporter (Rebecca Gayheart) throws herself into the case.

Treasure Hunters - Finale
The mystery loot and its winner are revealed during the season finale, which finds the final three teams competing to solve one last puzzle.

How I Met Your Mother
Without asking him, Barney gets Ted a beautiful “escort” (Erinn Bartlett) for Robin’s media-awards dinner in an attempt to make Robin jealous and get his two friends together. This one of GMMR’s fave eps from last season. And look for a cameo from Alyson Hannigan’s (Lily) real life hubby and former Buffy/Angel star, Alexis Denisof.

Kevin Federline on The Teen Choice Awards - Watch Now*

You have to watch it.  You just have to.  Don’t ignore it. Yup, it’s Kevin Federline’s “performance” at last night’s Teen Choice Awards.  I think they should play this constantly over Afghanistan…I swear it would smoke out Bin Laden. He would be begging for The U.S. to take him in, just to make it stop.

Check out my play-by-play of last night’s Teen Choice Awards.

Grey’s Anatomy Recap Redux

Since Sunday’s episode of Grey’s Anatomy was one of my favorite of last season, I thought I’d share my recap of the episode from the night it originally aired back on March 20th (which oddly enough was my way very last night of my 20’s).

So here’s my recap of Grey’s Anatomy: Supersition

2006 Teen Choice Awards are Painful - Kevin Federline is More of a Joke than EVER!

For the record I am only watching The Teen Choice Awards because I can’t possibly miss the train wreck that will be Kevin Federline’s first public performance. And I’m not techincally watching as much as skimming. But since the awards will be handed out to some of our favorite TV shows, I will keep a few running updates of the highlight, and the painful moments that will be forthcoming. Keep refreshing for updates!!!

- Dane Cook and Jessica Simpson hosting. Yeah, already a big mistake. Dane is making inappropriate jokes considering most in attendance are under the age of 16 (which is great news for Wilmer Valderamma). Jessica SUCKS at hosting. She looks uncomfortable and can’t deliver a line without the teleprompter.

- First spotting of Wentworth Miller. He’s not going to show unless he’s giving away or receiving an award, so at least that’s something to look forward to.

- Jamie Pressley (My Name is Earl) and Chad Michael Murray (One Tree Hill) are the first presenters. Ew, this sight of that scumbag just makes my skin crawl. And everytime I see him, I love Sophia Bush more and more. Team Sophia!!

- YAY!! My So You Think You Can Dance kids are in the house!! BF Travis, Cousin Heidi and Benji at least!!

- Ha ha ha…yeah these shows are INCREDIBLE. Wilmer V. just one for Choice TV Actor. Bwah..ha ha

- First K-Fed sighting of the night. And yes, he just said “yo, yo, yo”. Federline is hanging back stage with a bunch of 12 year olds…a few of which are probably his illegitimate children.

- Micha Barton is wearing a clown costume, or so it seems. And Dane Cook mocked her by giving her a sandwich - that’s actually pretty funny.

- I can’t believe I’m going to say this because I’m really a fan, but Adam Sandler’s schtick is getting a little old. And Jim Carrey is still in the running for favorite comedian? Has he done a movie since “Liar, Liar”? I can’t remember.

- Wentworth Miller and Amaury Nolasco just gave out a word. The boys are just too easy on the eyes. It’s almost not fair. Oh and for the record, I’m NOT enjoying this show. I’m doing it for YOU!!! Do you understand me?! Hell, I’m already on my 2nd Jack and Coke and the show is just underway. It’s going to be a long night.

- The people behind the Teen Choice Awards are SO out of touch that they think touting an appearance by Britney Spears is still something exciting. Well, I guess technically it is, but not for the reasons they think. I wonder if she showered before showing up?

- Nick Lachey just won for Choice Long Song for “What’s Left of Me”. So he starts off his speech saying: “Hmm..awkward?” Classic. I kind of liked that he acknowledged it a bit.

- This show is unbelievably over-sexed. I mean masturbation references, teenage girls in bikinis sitting in a hot tub on the stage. Are these the Maxim awards?

- Rianna is performing “Live” for the 2nd time this week (the first on the SYTYCD finale) and again she is lip synching, but it is SO bad. HORRIBLE!!! Britney Spears is backstage. Riana and Brit Brit need to have a sit down on the proper way to lip synch.

- Ok watching this horrible show just became worthwhile. Why? Beacuse I just saw the promo for the new season of The OC, and you haven’t really lived until you see Ryan Atwood cage fighting. Mwah…big kisses go out to OC creator Josh Schwartz for bringing The OC back to its glory. This show is going to go out in classic style. And, no….I’m not kidding. I can’t wait for the The OC to return.

- That kid with autism that hit all those baskets for his HS basketball team just won a special award. Damn, I cry every time I see that clip. Then they surprise him with having his old teammates there. And now Jamie Pressley & Jesse McCartney are crying too…aw.

- We are seeing a lot of stars of The CW tonight. I wonder why Jason Dohring (Logan Echolls of Veronica Mars) doesn’t get the love at these kind of events!? He’s probably one of the most popular teen hearthrobs on the all-new CW. Just a little randomness from me. Oh, and I had to write something while the nausea of watching Brooke Hogan accepting an award for Best Grill (yes for her mouth bling..I kid you not) passes. These people should be ashamed. Thank God the Sox/Yanks are on rain delay or I might have to shoot myself for actually watching this garbage. OMG she WILL NOT SHUT UP. GET HER OFF THE STAGE!!

- Kristin Cavallari is doing a good job of extending her 15 minutes of fame. She seems very comfortable on stage, but I’m always a bit disappointed when she’s in public and doesn’t use the opportunity to say “Ste-phen”. Just once? Come on. Quick question…I seem to be the only person who hasn’t seen High School Musical. Am I missing out? Is it really that good?

- Kristin Bell is on stage. I have such a girl crush. And she’s presenting with Tom Welling, who I’m so happy to say is looking good again after his brief stint as a mountain man this summer (see pic). You know, I have to say that I am impressed that Johnny Depp took the time to accept his award. I’m not even joking…he’s probably the biggest star in the country, and I think it was nice. Now if the damn teen girls would just shut up and let him talk.

- Is this the first time that one of the Olsen twins has appeared in public without the other? Ashley, you are looking good girl. I’ll let you in on a little secret, Ash. You were always my favorite. Mary Kate couldn’t hold a candle to your “You got it dude” when you were 3 years old.

- We are minutes away from seeing Kevin Federline perform live for the first time. In case this is armeggedon, I just want to thank you all for visiting GiveMeMyRemote.com. It’s been a wile ride, and it’s been great knowing you. To Mom and Dad GMMR - you’ve been great parents, never forget it. And if this world spontaneously combusts due to K-Fed’s suckitude, let me take this moment to tell JK that “I love you and I’ll never forget you or the special times we’ve shared.” Peace out.

- Aw shit, Britney is on stage and chewing gum. This chick is classy if nothing else. Someone brushed her extensions. Oh god she is introducing Federline. Dear God, I’m scared.

- Here we go…K-Fed is having little kids lip synch his song while he’s faking to play the piano. Ha ha ha ha ha. This is so funny, it’s sad. This is SO BAD!! I mean, REALLY BAD!! HORRENDOUS. This guy should stick to knocking up chicks with money. He is sucking so hard. But the good news, is that the we are still living. Jokes on us. I’m still laughing, but relieved at the same time. I was secretly afraid that the the song might have a good hook or something and I was going to like it. You know…like the Paris Hilton curse. But no worries about that. There was NOTHING even remotely entertaining about that.
-Ok the show is DONE (THANK YOU GOD). I’m going to cleanse my pallete by watching quality television…yes, I’m talking to you Entourage and Grey’s Anatomy. GMMR over and out!

Big Brother Spoilers: POV, HOH & Eviction

For those of you who look down on fans of reality TV, you don’t know what you’re missing out on.  Big Brother: All Stars is so much fun to watch.  The lies, the manipulation, the deciet - and that’s just Dr. Will.

Queen TV just gave me the inside scoop on who won this week’s POV, who got evicted and who took the coveted Heah of Household.  It’s juicy…so get ready.

First let’s start with a brief recap of this week… (no spoilers)

On Thursday’s show Marcellas was evicted unanimously and George won the HOH competition in a tiebreaker with Danielle. Boogie found out what his special power is and chose not to use it. George nominated James and Erika right on the spot during the live show because it will be a double eviction week with the next evicted houseguest leaving on Sunday.

 …but here’s what you didn’t see (SPOILERS)

After the nominees are announced, everyone is freaking out because George has the power and they all think they can manipulate him. So far it seems that George is most loyal to Janelle and Howie but James is George’s real target.

The POV competition was held late Thursday night as George, Howie, Danielle, Erika, James and Will participated. James ended up winning the POV. The entire house is manipulating George to put up Janelle and they may have actually convinced him to do so. Will suggested that he go on the block because he has the votes to stay just to guarantee Erika’s eviction. George is really traumatized by all this and isn’t sure what to do.

Friday morning George came up to Janelle and Howie to offer them a deal. If they promise to vote out who George replaces James on the block then he will not put up Janelle. Howie and Janelle take the deal and don’t even question who the person is who George wants out. Later on it gets out that Will was the person George had in mind but Will quickly declines. George feels he has no choice but to put Howie on the block and does so once James saves himself in the POV ceremony. By the end of Friday night Howie is evicted in a vote of 3-2 and Boogie is the new HOH.

Just to note that this is the fifth straight week where the original target has won veto and the replacement has been voted out of the house. Jase, Diane, Kaysar, Marcellas and Howie were all not on the block when nominations were announced but went out the door on eviction night while the targeted George, Boogie, Janelle, Danielle and James respectively remained in the house.

So You Think You Can Dance Finale - Say It Ain’t So

I love watching TV with people that love TV as much as I do. When my friend Jess, Ducky and I gathered at my place to watch the SYTYCD finale, I knew it was going to be a fun night. I wasn’t wrong. We laughed, we cried, we ate pizza and ice cream, we laughed some more. The dances were fierce, and it was comforting to see that my little Jailbait Ivan has only imporved since leaving my life the show. For a full recap of my night, head over to DuckyxDale and get his take on the finale and the inside scoop on what it’s like to watch a show with 2 TV bloggers. It’s not pretty. (Part I) (Part II)

I send Benji Schwimmer nuthin’ but love for taking it home. Personally, I had hoped it was BF Travis, but that’s just because he blew me away with his style over the past few weeks. When the other dancers started breaking down, BF Travis stepped up his game. But I love them both and I’m happy that in the end it was all about Tranji.

Now that the finale is over, the countdown to the So You Think You Can Dance: The Tour is on. Ducky and I have out tickets and we are trying our best to land some interviews for all of you. If you have tickets to a show and would like to be a special correspondent, click here to let DxD know! And check back soon for some really cool So You Think You Can Dance scoop!

I thought it would be appropriate to end this post with my two favorite routines from the entire SYTYCD season.
