The Nina Dobrev thing is funny because I remember having the same conversation with you a couple of months ago -- and I'm pretty sure we disagreed then. I definitely think she's better as Catherine (always more fun to play villains!), but I think she does a nice job as Elena, too. Maybe I'm contrasting the character too much with Bella from Twilight, but Elena is so much more interesting to me, thanks in large part to Dobrev. <br /><br />TVD is such a guilty pleasure, but oddly enough I can justify it as more quality TV than Grey's usually is! TVD is better at storytelling and keeping the tension ebbs and flows at interesting levels. Grey's just feels like a soap most of the time, but by golly I love it!<br /><br />I totally see your perspective on The Voice, btw. I just think it's still a little awkward with its mid-performance editing tactics. Honestly, during a performance, I don't want to see family members, hosts, or judges; I just want to see the performance. Idol is a well-oiled machine these days (sometimes too much so), so it's strange to try to shift to a scrappy show like this one. I'm still watching, though, and as I mentioned, Blake Shelton has been a nice surprise.Cathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12362531837161699207noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1494183751287229693.post-62854041245181846432011-05-30T07:50:25.443-07:002011-05-30T07:50:25.443-07:00To start- I read every post you post, so you are n...To start- I read every post you post, so you are not the only one reading your post :P Find them to be quite entertaining actually. Read a few of your awards to a friend who watches Make it or Break it and she agreed and was cracking up! So with that said my thoughts:<br /><br />I totally agree with everything about your comments on TVD. Caroline is so much better as a vampire then she was as a human on the show. I was hoping she would get killed off at the beginning, now she is one of my favorite characters. Nina Dobrev I have come to the conclusion that she is better as Catherine then Elena. When she plays Elena it feels fake and like she is trying too hard, but when she plays Catherine it just feels and looks better for her, more natural and real. And yes Ian's eyes you can totally get lost in and it is so much worse in person! I mean wow, gorgeous lol.<br /><br />When it came to the award for guiltiest pleasure, I would actually say it would have to be TVD instead of Grey's Anatomy, but prior to TVD Grey's was my number one choice. <br /><br />I see you are not liking The Voice too much, it is different that is what I like about it. I can agree it is trying too hard probably because it is trying to make it in an American Idol driven world. There are some great voices on the show though and will be interested to see where it goes from battle rounds. Something to get through the summer months of not enough shows on! <br /><br />I can agree with you when it comes to the awards for the shows I have seen, but some, well many of the shows I have not watched sadly. I do hate Thursday's though because I have had to start using my roommates DVR in the living room to record a show or two on this night lol. <br /><br />Loved reading the awards, awesome! This summer I am going to check out some of the shows you mentioned here, you have never steered me wrong before!TKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12113865710755244107noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1494183751287229693.post-14554526164690326922011-05-29T16:20:07.676-07:002011-05-29T16:20:07.676-07:00@Anonymous: Thanks for commenting. I didn't me...@Anonymous: Thanks for commenting. I didn't mean to offend -- maybe I should have phrased myself differently. I thought the *character* of Rose was annoying, not the actress. I think Lauren Cohen is very talented, as evidenced by the huge differences in the two characters. One woman's opinion was that Rose was obnoxious, although I will concede that her death scene was very sad. <br /><br />@Ern: I'm happy to give you girls props anytime: your blog rocks! Haha, Payson is so me in high school/college! (Except, I would never have kissed my coach, no matter how much special attention he gave me. Eww.) <br /><br />The thing that works for PLL is that there's an urgency to every single episode, just like there is in high school, generally. That's why the mystery thing is so fun to follow. Do you think PLL could survive without the "A" mystery, or would it fizzle the same way Desperate Housewives did after the first season's mystery was solved?Cathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12362531837161699207noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1494183751287229693.post-19144769296606186532011-05-29T16:02:17.602-07:002011-05-29T16:02:17.602-07:00Aww, thanks Cat.
Totally agree with you about Ro...Aww, thanks Cat. <br /><br />Totally agree with you about Rose. Not a beloved character at all. The only reason we were sad about her death was Damon was sad. And her accent was half-and-half. Annoying. Bad haircut too. <br /><br />And when you said you liked Payson Keeler on Facebook, I almost wrote, "That's because you ARE Payson Keeler." I should have, haha.<br /><br />Your awards are great. Also agree about April Kepner and Rob Lowe's character. But we MUST know who A is, at least by the end of season 2. It's time for a new A and a new mystery. They are dragging that out.Ern and Leeardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02222918254913939721noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1494183751287229693.post-75843077465908757772011-05-29T15:41:25.561-07:002011-05-29T15:41:25.561-07:00i'm sorry i disagree.

Rose was not annoying, she was great. Her death was one of the saddest things on vampire diaries this year. Maybe you should take another look.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
