The basic premise of the show is that it has transformative powers. In that way I find it very hard to believe that Will and Jen will win. In my mind Josh and Shay, and Jasmine and Dave are the most transformed. Sam and Nicole seemed ready for the game and have not had any great transformation. Sam's streak of winning appears attributed to his "studying" or producer involvement, if the TV club is to be believed. Either way, the latter would imply that Sam and Nicole will and the former would imply that Jasmine and Dave will win. Now in 2 of the past 3 seasons the underdog came back to win against the favorite once again tilting the win in favor of Jasmine and Dave.
I'm talking as if it's the finals already but in my mind Will and Jen are a foregone conclusion. I was surprised that they managed to stick around this week let alone last week. Will is such a horrendous person so sold on himself that he basically refuses to accept any criticism. We haven't managed to learn much about Jen since Will is a black hole of negative attention.
Nip/Tuck
Glad Portia de Rosi is a cast member. Although It'll be hard to shake the specter of Lindsey Bluth for me. I keep expecting her to say something funny.
In LA most of the people they encounter seem to be a lot more plastic than in Miami. Not just clients, but almost everyone. Even Ollie's daughter struck me as built out of fake plastic body parts. I guess the point is that this is a virtue in LA. I wonder how they manage to find actors to play their clients. Was the man addicted to plastic surgery an actual plastic surgery addict who was also an actor or an actor with a lot of make up on?
They seem to find good twists to keep themselves going. Julia coming out seems fairly tame compared to the previous seasons. More intrigue to come I'm sure.
