Tina Fey as Sarah Palin and Will Ferrell as George Bush

The fifth Saturday Night Live sketch featuring Tina Fey as Sarah Palin. This include George Bush and John McCain. Funny as always.

Sarah Palin on Saturday Night Live

Yes! Sarah Palin finally appeared as herself! It was a little difficult to tell her apart from Tina Fey sometimes. She was also a little stiff, although so were Lorne Michaels and Alec Baldwin.

I Still Think Dancing with the Stars is Fixed!

OK. So Cloris didn't go. Rocco had the lowest score, but he wasn't sent home because Misty had ruptured her Achilles tendon.

My previous post had two scenarios:

1. Cloris went even though there was no reason to send anyone home. This meant I was right. But it didn't happen.
2. Rocco was sent home - this didn't happen either (although he was singled out with the lowest score). This would have meant I was dead wrong, but it didn't happen either.
   

Why weren't the votes carried over? I believe that is what happen before. My paranoid mind now thinks that Cloris will be marked VERY low by the judges next week.

Conspiracy theory lives another week! (Although it IS looking a little ill.)

Is Dancing with the Stars Fixed?

It's probably not - it would be a PR disaster if it came out that ABC were fixing a competition - but a thought did occur to me that there is something strange going on. And ABC want to get rid of Cloris Leachman.

First of all, since Misty May-Treanor's injury has put her out of the competition, the "normal" thing to do would be to have no-one kicked off this week and carry the votes over to next week. This has happened before with Dancing with the Stars, and with American Idol too.

Secondly, although Cloris doesn't really dance but sort of march around the dance floor, she has consistently got 15 or 16. Rocco DiSpirito, however, put in a typical performance last night (no rhythm, unsure of steps) and got 20 points - more than he deserved I think. That means that if Rocco gets 10% of the viewers votes, Cloris would have to get 12.5% (by my guestimate) to stay on the show. Not inconceivable (she did a similar thing when Ted and Kim were voted off) but still difficult.

Why do ABC want to get rid of Cloris? Well, the act is getting a little tired and it's starting to distract from the dancing. There seems to be a polarization of views - some love her, and some, well, don't.

Now - here's my conspiracy:

1. The judges were deliberately generous with Rocco.
2. ABC are waiting to see the results of the viewers vote. If Cloris gets enough points to knock Rocco out, they'll carry over to next week. If she doesn't, she will go tonight.

If, however, Rocco goes tonight, then I need to see my therapist.

What do you think?

Tina Fey as Sarah Palin in the VP Debate

This is the funniest so far I think. Despite not having a lot to work with I thought they did a good job with Joe Biden, Queen Latifah was excellent as Gwen Ifill and Tina Fey was amazing as Sarah Palin (although she did sound Irish occasionally).

Here's the SNL sketch of Tina Fey as Sarah Palin in the Vice Presidential debate.

What people are looking for on a Monday

So, Monday morning. I discover that Heather Locklear has been arrested on suspicion of DUI, that people are concerned about the financial bailout plan, there is actually something called "Brazilian fart porn" (amazing), there is an internet hoax about Eminem dying and that it's hard to spell Rosh Hashanah.
