Things Get Hot In India. Recap: Naked and Afraid, Udhampur

May 17, 2015 Kellie Freeze

This week we’re taking a long flight and a bumpy ride to Udhampur India. We haven’t visited India since Hakim and Phaedra visited the country (Afterwards, Phaedra told me about her experience). India is an immense nation with extremes in topography and climate and in this adventure we’re in the mountain highlands of India’s NorthWest (The direction, not the person) corner. The survivalists will have to deal with a climate that is hot and dry by day, and cold and windy at night. While this sounds like it may be less buggy than some of N&A’s other locations, the […]

May 17, 2015 Kellie Freeze

Now that they’re not royals, do they need to change the show’s title? Liam’s in the safe room. He wakes up from his night of drunkenness and Ophelia is by his side. We learn that the mysterious dark SUV that pulled up at the end of last week’s episode was Ophelia. Liam remembers something that his father once told him, “Life’s lived, not destined,” and asks Ophelia to run away with him.

CMT is setting sail with the premiere of Pontoon Payday, the first-ever game show on a boat. A boat? Yes, a boat. And thankfully, most of Pontoon Paydays’ contestants come with personal safety devices in the form of inflated egos, pumped up muscles, or buoyant bosoms, and everyone is protected by a healthy dose of alcohol. In the hot and hilarious new series, unsuspecting lake-goers are plucked from their party boats to compete on the floating game show hosted by comedian Frank Nicotero (Street Smarts). If the buzzed boaters can answer trivia questions correctly, they win quick cash. But if […]

Dancing With The Stars Results: The Semi-Finals

May 12, 2015 Kellie Freeze

I’ve been filled with a sense of dread all day because one of the four remaining couples would be eliminated on tonight’s Dancing With The Stars Results: The Semi-Finals. But we all know that there are only three spots in the finals so someone has to go home. The votes are in and I just hope that America is happy with the decisions. Even 24 hours after watching Noah Galloway propose to his girlfriend, I still get teary-eyed every time I watch it. We get another look at his two great performances from last night, and another look at the sweet proposal. Tom […]

Recap: Dancing With The Stars: The Semi-Finals

May 12, 2015 Kellie Freeze

When I posted about Monday’s episode earlier in the day, I knew that Dancing with the Stars: The Semi-Finals was going to be emotional. It. Was. Sooooooooooo Emotional. I may have shed more than a few tears, a fact that I freely admit. Other than Disney Week, the Semi-Finals are my favorite week on DWTS. The stress is high, the talent levels are high, the drama is high, the scores are high. Everything about the night is exponentially greater than it’s been all season. Despite all of the stress that will be going on this week, it was sweet to see a […]

5 Questions With … Anna Friel Of NBC’s “American Odyssey.”

May 12, 2015 Kellie Freeze

Anna Friel is bleeding for her art, literally. To play the role of Sgt. Odelle Ballard, a U.S. soldier on the run in hostile territory, in NBC’s American Odyssey (Airing Sundays at 9pm ET/PT), Friel has undergone grueling military training and endured months of demanding shoots in Morocco’s dust and heat. The actress proudly boasts of the injuries she’s suffered to play her lionhearted character, and lists her bumps and bruises — including torn ligaments in her foot — without much complaint, reverent of her character’s dangerous experiences in her struggle to get home. “I’ve got to put on a […]
