Hawaii Five-0 Season 5 Episode 1 Recap: On Lockdown!

Aloha, television viewers! Is the weather starting to turn chillier wherever you live? Are the cool winds of autumn starting to whip about? Well, fear not: It’s always hot on Hawaii Five-0! (We’re talking about the weather, people. Get your minds out of the gutter!) So it was a pleasure to welcome McGarrett, Danno, Chin and company back into our lives for Hawaii Five-0 Season 5 Episode 1 last night. Watch Hawaii Five-0 Season 5 Episode 1 Online The episode was titled “A’ohe kahi e pe’e ai,” which translate to “Nothing to Hide.” What made this an appropriate name for the first new installment of the fall? It centered on the island of O’ahu going on lockdown as the team hunted a terrorist who began using weaponized drones on civilians. That’s never, ever good, is it? Meanwhile, McGarrett and Danno were forced to go for a mandated review with a psychologist, resulting in a session that came across a lot like couples therapy. And which totally cracked us up. Go watch Hawaii Five-0 online via TV Fanatic if you missed the opener and, if you caught it, grade the premiere now:   A B C D F View Poll »

The Amazing Race Season 25 Episode 1 Recap: Go Big or Go Home!

Friday evening’s premiere of The Amazing Race Season 25 Episode 1 showed us that the long-running reality competition still hasn’t lost much of a step. Kicking things off in Times Square, the Race is off and literally running! Watch The Amazing Race Season 25 Episode 1 Online Sure, Friday night TV is sort of a graveyard for reality shows, but still. Sure, it could have benefited from an extra half hour like CBS gave Survivor Season 29 Episode 1 for us to better get to know the cast, but still. Sure, Bethany Hamilton didn’t get enough screen time, but still. Okay, all complaining aside? It was a solid premiere for a still-solid show, and we briefly break down the contestants in order of how they finished below: 1. Misti & Jim, the dentists, don’t lack for confidence, but were also willing to help out others and proved to be the most competent. First place? Well earned. 2. Tim & Te Jay capitalized on Jim to complete Roadblock and complained a little too much for our liking, but second place is still a solid result. 3. Kym & Alli, urban bikers who talk almost as big a game as the wrestlers they edged out, act like they’re embracing the role of the “target” early on. 4. Robbie & Brooke, wrestlers who might think they’re more famous than they actually are, sure talk the part. Can they back it up with their performances? 5. Bethany & Adam make you want to ride Team Soul Surfer all the way to the end. They need to work out some kinks, but could be real contenders. 6. Maya & Amy, a couple of enthusiastic scientists who specialize in candy and ice cream, did little of note, but that’s a unique hook for a team at least! 7. Dennis & Isabelle weren’t particularly impressive, or noteworthy in any sense that you wanted to root for or against them. Tune in next week. 8. Shelley & Nici, a pair of flight attendants, struggled a bit but made up for it with determination. And provided some comic relief with their frustrations. 9. Whitney & Keith, the Survivor contestants of years past, were not impressive at the onset. They won’t outwit, outplay or outlast many at this rate. 10. Michael & Scott, a pair of Boston firefighters, likely only survived this week because one team was even worse. But that’s all it takes to move on … Farewell, Lisa and Michelle. You’ll be missed for your good looks, but you proved that some of us should just stay home and watch The Amazing Race online . The realtors from Miami vowed to use their good looks to get ahead in The Race, and while that likely works in their day jobs, it didn’t do much here. Not knowing where the sun rises and sets? Never a good sign. Also, karma bit them hard when they left – then dissed – the firemen at the dock. That’s just asking for it.

In case you haven’t already gotten your fill of busty British nobodies at the pool, now here’s reality star Lydia Rose Bright hanging out in a bikini in Spain. I’m not sure who she’s talking to on the phone, but if I had to guess, it’s probably her agent and they’re discussing ways to get Lydia off TOWIE and onto the latest surefire hit show Who Wants to Sleep With a Blogger? I’m telling you guys, it’s going to be bigger than The Amazing Race and American Idol combined, and I’d love to have Lydia on as our first contestant. » view all 11 photos Photos: Fameflynet Continue reading

Desiree Hartsock: Who is the New Bachelorette?

Desiree Hartsock may not have won The Bachelor, but the fourth-place finisher will be handing out the roses as the new Bachelorette starting May 20. The cutie said on The Bachelor: After The Final Rose special that she is “ready and open” to “to meet the man of her dreams” come this summer. Despite the fact that she made it far and became a fan favorite, we still don’t know that much about her. So here are some fun Desiree Hartsock facts: 1. She is a bridal stylist and a designer in Los Angeles. That will certainly come in handy if, as she hopes, she’ll be wearing her own before too long! 2. She designed her own dress for the opening rose ceremony when she wowed Sean Lowe . Who is now engaged to Catherine Giudici, but still! 3. She’s outdoorsy. Loves hiking in particular. Hope you’re in shape, guys! 4. She grew up in Colorado before settling in Newport Beach, Calif. 5. Like Sean Lowe, Desiree is a loyal and devout Christian, whose Twitter often refers to God and his will. No wonder she made it so far with Sean. Her Twitter has been quiet since March 11, of course, since filming for The Bachelorette is underway! Sounds like it’s going well so far, too. “OMG just saw Desiree on her first date for The Bachelorette! S he’s so cute omg & we talked & the guy was so hot” tweeted a Twitter user this week. Des was spotted “on the freeway in Sherman Oaks, California” at “like 2:00 pm” on March 16, driving with a very cute guy in a very cute convertible! Life looks pretty good for her right now, for sure. “Excellent first date for Dez!!! So important to get off to a good start!!!” tweeted producer Mike Fleiss. “Dez is doing great. Already a first kiss!!!” Excited to see Des as The Bachelorette?   Yes! She’s like perfect for the show! No, I prefer Lindsay/Catherine! No, someone new entirely! View Poll »

Amazing Race B-52 Bomber Prop Sparks Outrage From Vietnam Veterans

CBS is under fire for using a wrecked B-52 bomber as a prop on last Sunday’s episode of its long running reality hit The Amazing Race – in Vietnam. Last week’s leg of the Race featured a segment in which the contestants raced around the wreckage of a B-52 shot down during the Vietnam War. The downed plane was then put on display in Hanoi as a “memorial.” Earlier, the contestants sat under a portrait of communist leader Ho Chi Minh and sat through a musical concert by young people singing a patriotic song . For Vietnam. The lyrics included: “Vietnam Communist party is glorious … Socialism is growing more beautiful with time. Follow the party’s step. Be loyal. Be pure.” The segment in the Vietnamese capital city, while only a part of the episode, sparked outcry from the American Legion, among other organizations. “The show is called ‘The Amazing Race’ but I call it ‘The Amazing Gall,’” American Legon National Commander James E. Koutz said in a letter to CBS. He called the segment a “disgraceful slap-in-the face administered to American war heroes” and scolded CBS for showing the Vietnamese singing group. CBS officials declined to comment yesterday when contacted by The Post.

Drugs Are Bad M’Kay: Amazing Race Producer Died After Snorting Up A Bunch Of Bad Yayo, Assistant Is Paralyzed

An American television producer found dead on a hotel balcony in Uganda last week died after taking contaminated coke, police and a private investigator said on Saturday. An official toxicology report confirmed the narcotic was in Jeff Rice’s blood, dispelling initial suspicions the father of two known for his work on the U.S. show “The Amazing Race” had been poisoned by attackers. Rice, who was found slumped over a table bleeding through the nose and mouth, died of asphyxiation, a post mortem showed. Drug users who fall unconscious risk inhaling vomit. “Rice … used cocaine which had lethal additives and that’s what killed him,” Uganda police spokesperson Asuman Mugenyi told Reuters. Brad Nathanson, a private investigator and friend of Rice, said he had been shown the toxicology report by police and there was no evidence of foul play in Rice’s death. “In fact it was as a result of buying bad drugs, coke to be specific … it was a bad concoction,” Nathanson told reporters. “I have read the toxicology report … it shows that there were small traces of coke in their blood and urine,” he said, adding he had traveled to Uganda as a friend of the Rice family following rumors he had been poisoned, and not for payment. Rice’s assistant, identified as Kathryne Fuller, was found unconscious when Rice’s body was discovered Feb. 18 at the Serena hotel in the capital, Kampala. She is now reported to be conscious but paralyzed down the right side of her body. Early on, there had been speculation that the two had been poisoned, then that they might have been forced to consume the drugs, because of the high amount of coke in Rice’s stomach. NBC News contributor Clint van Zandt said on the “TODAY Show” on Saturday that it seemed unlikely that Rice would have willingly taken that amount of coke. If Rice and Fuller were believed to have voluntarily consumed the drugs, Fuller could be prosecuted under Uganda’s drug laws. Ugandan police said on Saturday they had arrested a man who confessed selling drugs to the pair who had been in the east African country working on a documentary. SMH.
