Now here's a DWTS rumor with buzzing about!

Many of us reading Matt's DWTS blog probably don't have a lot of love for Samantha Harris. She's about as vanilla of an interviewer as there is. She's quite easy on the eyes, but adds no zip with her backstage interviews.
 

Never be a flagger in street race

Tess has great words of advice for those of you who watched Thursday's show:
 
A different feel. I am not certain what was unlike other episodes of CSI. Maybe the calm demeanor of the team members.  Maybe my frame of mind while I was watching it. The music choices were interesting  and upbeat. Many times I fast forward through the examination of evidence if it carries on too long but the music gave this one reason to sit through it.
 

'Babe' Watch babe joining DWTS cast?

Pamela Anderson will be among the celebs on Season 10 of “Dancing With the Stars,” according to RadarOnline.com.
ABC has not commented on the rumors involving the former “Baywatch” and “Stacked” star.
The cast will be announced March 1 during the "Bachelor" finale.

Tess Says Don’t Beat Yourself Up with this 'CSI'

 Tonight I found that living on a golf course in Norwalk is peaceful and quiet, per se, compared to Las Vegas. Not that I was not already aware of such. 
 
OK, you can’t blame me for this one, it is all Ray’s fault. But when they found the finger prints on the DB’s golf balls, he said a classic that made me laugh and the look on Nick and Catherine’s faces was priceless. “with her prints all over her sister’s ex’s balls”. Ray, you are bad.

Some Thoughts from Tess on "Criminal Minds"

I have been watching "Criminal Minds" since the beginning and have seen a lot of improvement this season. Last week could be summed up in one word.....caareepyyy .. yet with that aside, it was one of the best episodes this year. A crazy homely loner that had been abused by her father as a child was kidnapping women that resembled her doll collection, paralyzing them, and dressing them up as dolls. She would then stage them around her apartment in a tea party setting and continue to put drugs into their veins to keep paralyzed. All they could move was their eyes.
