Let's get into it...
Worst Song: Jukebox hero
This episode is why I love this show. It was a fast paced story driven episode leading to other things. This was a setup to the Glease episode next week. It included the tryouts for Grease, with directors Artie and Finn, choreographer Mike Chang and music coach Mercedes!First off, I am so excited they are doing Grease. I'll admit I loved Blaine's version of Hopelessly Devoted to You and I went completely nuts when they broke into the Hand Jive, a dance I never thought I would see on Glee. The fact that Glee did the Hand Jive before Gangham Style is amazing to me.
As for the other stuff, usually I don't like Unique's songs but damn him and Marley (!!!) singing Pink's Blow Me (One Last Kiss) was amazing! That song makes me so giddy every time I've listened to it since the show aired. It was just so much fun and exciting and something we haven't had yet this season.
Now we get to our Glee Project winner, Blake, making his debut. I'm still not a fan that he won the show but he did a good job here. I like the fact that it looks like Finn is going to be his mentor. I just wasn't a fan of Jukebox Hero, I think he could have done something else for his first song on the show, even if it's not going to be a Grease song. Everybody Talks was better, and I'm just shocked that Kitty can sing.
I am so excited for next week's show. Just get to that one!
Grade: B+
Elimination: Kirstie and Maks & Gilles and PETA
Melissa and Tony right now are the couple to beat, 99 out of 100 in a two week span is amazing.
Moving onto next week, the couples picked the dances for the others again, but this time around it was alot more ridiculous, even Tom admitted that. I really just want to say the names of these dances.
Melissa & Tony-"Cavemen" Hustle
Shawn & Derek-"Knight Rider" Banghna
Apolo & Karina-"Big Top" Jazz
Emmitt & Cheryl-"Espionage" Lindy Hop
Kelly & Val-"Surfer" Flamenco
I really can't make any of that up.
Personal note, seeing the cast of Newsies never gets old. They are amazing.
So next week's semifinals consists of those strange dances and an awesome tribute to Michael Jackson's Bad.
Episode: The Sidewalk Stash
This week's show was actually a very low key episode, but very good.
First off, I want to see that wheel that Ming was made for the sidewalk sale, for no other reason but to see what he wrote on every slot. They didn't show it cut I guarantee Walt wasn't happy with the "Free Comic" slot.
As for transactions, I did enjoy hearing the history of TMNT and Star Wars laser discs. The highlight of the show was definitely the Superman vs. Muhammad Ali, it's very rare and cool to see.
Good show overall.
Samoa Joe defeated Magnus to retain the TNA World Television Championship
ODB and Eric Young defeated Tara and Jesse
Rob Van Dam defeated Joey Ryan to retain the TNA X Division Championship
DOC defeated Joseph Park
Chavo Guerrero and Hernandez defeated Christopher Daniels and Kazarian to retain the TNA World Tag Team Championship
James Storm defeated AJ Styles and Bobby Roode to become the #1 contender for the TNA World Heavyweight Championship, AJ Style cannot get a title shot till Bound for Glory 2013
Kurt Angle defeated Devon
Jeff Hardy defeated Austin Aries in a ladder match to retain the TNA World Heavyweight Championship
Wow. A match actually makes sense for storyline reasons, yet it didn't get announced right away. Going into this match Punk will on his 364th day as WWE Champion, as much I want to see Ryback or Cena to win the belt, it's not going to happen here...
Winner and still WWE Champion: CM Punk
I'm really looking forward to this match up because I didn't get to see the first match up last month. This should be awesome. As much as I would love to see Sheamus win back the belt, I have a feel there are bigger things in the works for Show down the road.
Winner and still World Heavyweight Champion: The Big Show
This is interesting match up, especially since the point of Team Foley is now that Punk is no longer in this match. Honestly this might actually be the most unpredictable match on the card. This could end two different ways, Miz could turn on his team or...
Winner: Team Foley Sole Survivor: The Miz
Wait what? What the hell? This is a weird match up. I thought this supossed to be Justin Gabriel not R-Truth. If it was Gabriel I wouldn't say...
Winner and still WWE United States Champion: Antonio Cesaro
Now this is a really good matchup. I do have one question though did the storyline of who attacked Kaitlyn at Night of Champions? Maybe they did I don't remember. If they did, and I just forgot...
Winner and new WWE Diva's Champion: Kaitlyn
11/9/12-Chicago at Milwaukee
What a crazy game. It was already 3-2 Ads halfway through the first period, and they held on for a 7-4 win over their arch-rival. Taylor Beck got two goals and an assist, even though the crowd thought he got a hat trick. Ads are now up 1-0 in the Amtrak Rivalry.
11/10/12-Milwaukee at Rockford
Look at that the Ads CAN win two in a row!!! Mike Moore's two goals lead Milwaukee to a 4-2 win against the Ice Hogs.This ended the six game losing streak against Rockford.
The Admirals are just beginning a long seven game road trip. Friday and Saturday night they are playing two games in Oklahoma City against the Barons. Then on Tuesday they head to Chicago for the first time this year to take on the Wolves in the second game of the Amtrak Rivalry.
Quick Hits
- I'll admit that I got a chuckle that Justin Bieber & Selena Gomez broke up. When I read that I think I hear millions of tween yell in glee all at the same time
- Maybe I'm old school but the news that Annie reopened on Broadway made me smile ear to ear. I might not get to see it, but I would love to. Hopefully they at least get to perform at the Thanksgiving Parade this year.
- Congrats to Mats Sudin, Joe Sakic, Pavel Bure and Adam Oates on being inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame. It's too bad the ceremony was in the shadows of the lockout. They deserve better.
Last year when Glee did West Side Story, I, much like alot of Gleeks, wanted a full soundtrack like they did for Rocky Horror. Even if the full songs weren't on the show, take them and put them on an album. We didn't get it. This year they are doing Grease and get the full album.
First of all, Grease is in my top three musicals of all time with Rent and West Side Story. It was the first musical I fell in love with. So you can imagine how giddy I got when Glease was announced. Now the tricky part, making it work in 2012. Grease might be rated PG but it's very racy at times and I was curious how they were going to work around it. So I broke my personal rule and listened to the soundtrack early. Wow simply wow.
First off was the editing of Greased Lightning. I'll admit I got a nice laugh out of the edits. I mean I know they can't get away with lines like "That ain't no shit, we be gettin lots of tit", "The chick'll cream" and "she's a real pussy wagon", but the censor jobs were beyond strange.But if you get past them it's alot of fun. Also it sounds like Rizzo doesn't sing Look at Me I'm Sandra Dee in this version, but it works for the story of the show, just an unexpected change.
As for the rest, awesome job. I'm so giddy and happy with the album that I found my new obsession for awhile.
Only thing it's missing is We Go Together, that is disappointing but hearing Darren Criss sings Beauty School Dropout makes up for it.
Grade: A
That's it for this week. As always check out my Week 11 NFL Picks. Next week I will be covering Glease, the semi finals of Dancing with the Stars, what happened at WWE Survivor Series and there will be a review of Green Day's latest album ¡Dos!. All that and whatever else happens this week going into Thanksgiving. 
Till then, have a good week and thank you for reading!
