TV SHOWS.

So, yesterday, I was watching The Bounce.
For those who don't know, it is a new footy show on Channel 7. Hosted by Peter Helliar (aka Strauchanieeeeeeeeeeeee!).
Now, considering that I miss Rove and really want him back, I need another TV show to enjoy, y'know.

So, I watched The Bounce.
Good thing: RICHO RICHO MAAAAAN, I WANNA BE A RICH-- um, yes, Richo was on there. He was so funny. ;).
Bad thing: Leigh Matthews. YOU ARE BORING EVERYONE, BORING! I don't care about your ~awesomeness~ in 1990! That was 20 years ago, you are not awesome anymore. Get with the times!

Anyway, another boring thing: They went through all the games being played this weekend and talked on and on about it. Whut. And at least Richo made some quips during this, because Leigh Matthews didn't. He was talking in his ~boring~ voice. :/.

And sometimes the audience would laugh at something on a segment, and I'd be like, "Noooo! That wasn't funny, go away. Did you have too much laughing gas today?" Crazy people.

And in the newspaper and stuff, The Bounce got described as "Rove meets Before The Game" and "a family show".
Well, just to mention, Rove was (oh god, why the past tense?) not a family show. Channel 10 put it on at 9:30pm! Kiddies don't stay up till 10:30pm! ...Or do they?
Anyhoo, the similarities with Rove and The Bounce: a monologue at the start by the host, funny segments, and live audience.
Differences: A LOT. There was no Rove (as in the guy, you know that awesome guy that would constantly make me laugh and I blogged about a lot?). And some segments just weren't funny (unlike Rove, where EVERYTHING is funny).

And Pete was a good host and all, but he needs a catchphrase at the end or something. Like, Rove says, "Say hi to your mum for me" which is quirky and fun. And Cal Wilson and Shaun Micallef say quirky things at the end, like, "I am, and hopefully in the future, [insert name here], goodnight!" Whatever. It concludes the show. Wraps things up nicely.
Pete should say something like, "Smell you laterz" or "Say hi to MY mum for me". I don't know, I fail at quirkiness.

Oh and at the end of the show, they had a Punk'd-style segment featuring Nick Maxwell and Steele "Rusty" Sidebottom. I was all like, "Omgomgomgomgomg~!" And then, it wasn't funny. I didn't get it. It was just about Nick Maxwell selling some Collingwood merchandise to some eager fans and Rusty was all like, "... Don't take my thongs!" and Nick went away for a minute and then, the police came and Rusty was like, "?" and Nick came back and was like, "Um, whut" and Peter Helliar came and was like, "Hahahahahahaha" and Rusty was like, "Oh, okay. Hahahahahahahaha" and then, they were all like, "Hahahahahahaha" and I was like, "?"

Anyway, while I was watching the Bounce (it went to 8:30pm), SYTYCDA was on and I missed the first 30 minutes. Now, at first, I thought, "Who cares? SYTYCDA is boring, and I won't miss my favourites because I like most of the dancers, lol."
So, y'know what they did? They put Jessie H and Robbie, Matt and Carly, dancing FIRST. Whut. Oh no they didn't! My four favourites and I missed them. FAIL. And the rest of the show was boring, except Ivy and Kieran. (And they weren't dancing together, ugh).

So yeah. Hopefully, the Bounce is better next week.
In the meantime, Before The Game is on Saturday (wooooo~) and TAYG and Sleuth 101 on Sunday. ;).
In conclusion, I want Rove back. Sadface.

NICK MAXWELL AND BALLOON BOY. :D

Okay.
Y'know the guy on Rove who does the KRudd PM voice?
His name is Nick Maxwell and he's getting married today in Byron Bay.
And my bf and Harry O'Brien are going to be there. Because, y'know, they play footy with him. :D

But some Collingwood players aren't going to Nick Maxwell's wedding. Because Chris Tarrant is also getting married so all the ~bad boys~ like Swannie and Didak are going to Tarrant's wedding. FAILLL. wtf. Nick Maxwell > Chris Tarrant.

Btw~, Nick Maxwell was on Rove a few weeks ago, cheering up the Parramatta Eels and Nick was like, "I love rugby, and I would have played but I, uh, have a neck." LOLLLL. (Luckily, he didn't play rugby otherwise Collingwood wouldn't be so good...).

And I watched the 7pm Project yesterday. And they were discussing the Balloon Boy story.
(Basically, what happened was that everyone thought a little boy fell out of a hot air balloon so there were search parties EVERYWHERE because this boy was lost and he was only 6 and anyway, the boy actually was NEVER in the balloon; he was hiding in the attic).
So, anyhoo, Charlie Pickering goes, "YO, BALLOON BOY, I'M REALLY HAPPY FOR YOU AND I'MMA LET YOU FINISH BUT ANNE FRANK HAD THE BEST ATTIC HIDEOUT OF ALL TIME. OF ALL TIME~!" And I lol'd.

And I really hope the episode of TAYG on Sunday is the episode with Rove. ;)

EDIT: Seth Green (some Family Guy dude) is on Rove. ^_____^
