Desperate Housewives Season 6 [END]

Narrated by the late Mary Alice Young, Desperate Housewives takes viewers inside Wisteria Lane, a small section of suburban America that's anything but ordinary. This primetime soap delves deep into the lives of a circle of women with a mix dark humor and drama that helps expose the truth that things are never as they seem.

The tale of these women started with the death of one of their own, Mary Alice Young (Brenda Strong). Even though she is a resident of Wisteria no longer, she guides us through the daily lives of her close friends, family and neighbors from her unique and all-seeing point of view.

The women of Wisteria include Susan Mayer (Teri Hatcher), a single mother and divorcee, struggling to raise her teenaged daughter, Julie (Andrea Bowen), all while going to extreme lengths to find the man of her dreams, who may be her neighbor, Mike Delfino (James Denton). Lynette Scavo (Felicity Huffman) is a mother four who is dealing with the change of going from a stay-at-home mom to a career woman as she helps her husband Tom (Doug Savant) open their own pizzeria. Bree Van De Kamp (Marcia Cross), the quintessential Martha Stewart-esque housewife, presents a calm and collected exterior, but is dealing with the pain of losing her husband, Rex (Steven Culp), the challenge of raising two rebellious children, Danielle (Joy Lauren) and Andrew (Shawn Pyfrom), and her second marriage to the mysterious Orson Hodge (Kyle MacLachlan). Gabrielle Solis (Eva Longoria) had it all -- a successful modeling career, an equally successful husband, Carlos (Ricardo Antonio Chavira) and a large house -- but with the end of her marriage, Gabrielle must learn how to make it on her own. Lastly Edie Britt (Nicollette Sheridan), the self made successful real estate agent whose love life is at the top of everyone's gossip list.

Wiseria Lane has experienced it's share of mysterious comings and goings. From the Applewhite family, including Betty (Alfre Woodard) and Matthew (Mehcad Brooks) who wasted no time in getting tangled up in the drama of Wisteria, to the family Mary Alice left behind: Paul (Mark Moses) and Zach (Cody Kasch).

With Mary Alice watching over her former neighbors' every move, no bit of juicy gossip goes unnoticed, despite how the residents try their hardest to keep it locked behind closed doors.

Desperate Housewives is an American television comedy-drama series created by Marc Cherry, who also serves as show runner, and produced by ABC Studios and Cherry Productions. Executive producers, as of the fourth season, are Marc Cherry, Bob Daily, George W. Perkins, John Pardee and Joey Murphy, David Grossman, Larry Shaw and Sabrina Wind.
The setting of the show is the street of Wisteria Lane in the fictional American town of Fairview in the Eagle State. It follows the lives of a group of women, seen through the eyes of their dead neighbor. They work through domestic struggles and family life, while facing the secrets, crimes and mysteries hidden behind the doors of their—at the surface—beautiful and seemingly perfect suburban neighborhood.
The show features an ensemble cast, headed by Teri Hatcher as Susan Mayer, Felicity Huffman as Lynette Scavo, Marcia Cross as Bree Van de Kamp and Eva Longoria as Gabrielle Solis. Brenda Strong narrates the show as the deceased Mary Alice Young, appearing sporadically in flashbacks or dreams.
Since its premiere on ABC on October 3, 2004, the show has been well received by viewers and critics alike. The show is a multiple Emmy, Golden Globe and Screen Actors Guild award winner, and in April 2007 it was reported to be the most popular show in its demographic worldwide, with an audience of approximately 120 million.

America's Next Top Model S14E10/11

Episode 10/11 - Ugly-Pretty Woman/America's Next Top Model Is... (12/05/2010)

UGLY-PRETTY WOMAN

André gave the girls a surprise visit to advise them about the fashion industry, as well as shed some light on his early career beginnings, including working for Andy Warhol.

The girls packed up and flew for Queenstown, New Zealand for their next photo shoot, but were surprised when they hear Miss J’s voice over the PA instructing them to walk down the plane aisles as part of a runway challenge. Alexandra impressed the Jays by bringing heels on board the plane, but Krista ultimately won her fourth challenge. She was rewarded with $2000 worth of Boh Runga jewelry and the chance to walk at New Zealand Fashion Week.

This week’s shoot required the girls to portray “ugly-pretty”. All the girls found a certain degree of success, and their photos similarly received both praise and criticism from different judges. Krista’s outstanding photo earned her yet another first call-out. Alexandra's photo got all-loved by the judges, but she is still looked "pretty-pretty" when they asked her to be "ugly-pretty". Raina was castigated for only doing well in higher-end shoots, Angelea's photo was considered average and generally bad by all the judges. Tyra mentioned models from past cycles that have gone on to have successful careers such as Katarzyna while talking about Angelea and where she would go when she went home. In the end, Tyra handed Raina the last photo, eliminating Alexandra and, of course, Angelea.

First call-out: Krista White
Bottom Three: Alexandra Underwood, Angelea Preston & Raina Hein
Eliminated: Alexandra Underwood & Angelea Preston

AMERICA'S NEXT TOP MODEL IS....

The final two girls took a helicopter ride to an overnight stay at Hurakia Lodge on Rakino Island. Miss J. arrived and handed them their CoverGirl commercial scripts. The next day, the girls shot both their commercial and CoverGirl print ad. Krista blanked out during her commercial and was forced to use cue cards, but was praised for laughing off her mistakes instead of breaking down. Raina got her lines out without much fuss, but failed to deliver believability.

The next day, both girls impressed Nigel during their Seventeen magazine cover shoot. When they returned to the house, Tyra surprised them with visits from their families; they proceeded to take a “Top Model” family portrait. After this, the final two proceeded to the Auckland Museum for a rock and roll circus inspired Anna Sui fashion show. It was also revealed that the past 4 eliminated finalists – Alexandra, Angelea, Jessica and Alasia – would also be walking with them. After the show, Tyra had some one-on-one time with Krista and Raina, where both shared their motivations for winning.

At the final judging, Krista’s walk was commended for being both commercial and high fashion at the same time, albeit slightly cheesy, whilst Raina’s smile and freshness were appreciated. Their CoverGirl print ads also received mixed reviews – Raina’s girl next door photo got the thumbs up, but the judges said she lacked a certain spark, while Krista’s stunning photo drew flak for failing to smile with her eyes. Both of their CoverGirl commercials failed to fully impress.

While discussing the final two’s overall portfolios throughout the season, the judges deemed Krista as a more sophisticated and edgy model who would do well on the runway, while Raina was the beauty model who would make waves internationally as a photo model.

In the end, Krista was crowned the winner of the fourteenth cycle of America’s Next Top Model.

Final Two: Krista White & Raina Hein
America's Next Top Model: Krista White


WINNER : KRISTA WHITE

The show was created and is hosted by talk-show host and model Tyra Banks, who also serves as the head judge and executive producer of the show. The first "cycle" premiered in May 2003 and was one of UPN's highest rated shows. The show's seventh cycle was the first of the shows among regular programming on UPN's successor network, The CW, and thus far is the network's highest rated series. The opening theme is performed by Tyra Banks and is produced by Rodney "Darkchild" Jerkins. Banks co-produces the show with Ken Mok and Anthony Dominici, and is an independent production of 10 by 10 Entertainment and Bankable Productions (part of the dummy company/joint venture Pottle Productions), distributed for The CW by Bankable Productions and syndicated internationally by KingWorld (and its successor CBS Television Distribution). For the 2006–2007, 2007–2008 and 2008–2009 television seasons, ANTM was the #1 show in average viewers on The CW.

Ghost Hunters S06E10

Episode 10 - Norwich State (05/05/2010)

Finally!!!

Never before has a paranormal team been invited to investigate Norwich State Hospital. That is- until tonight!

Jason and Grant have wanted to visit this abandoned mental hospital for years- rumors of moving shadows, haunting faces, screams and moans and apparitions of children have attracted many an amateur ghost hunter. Yet the state would never allow anyone in officially to verify the claims before this episode of TAPS.

Jay and Grant start out in the research building and it takes all of two minutes before they see some kind of moving shadow followed by a strange noise and faint light in the stairway. Then the moaning started- like a man in a horror film- and it turns into a whimpering noise like a puppy. Bizarre!

Britt and KJ try to solve the problems of the Earle Building, where the maintenance team reported tools falling and weird noises. They hear this noise like someone is dragging something heavy across the floor #&8212; what WAS that?? They try to track it upstairs but don't find anything. Cut to Kris and Amy in the research building visiting the autopsy room. Frankly, it's pretty creepy.

In the tunnels Jason and Grant swear they hear voices. And SOMEthing is moving around in the distance, but the tunnel comes to an end! There's a lot of dust and danger and asbestos and there's a fine line between the thirst for the paranormal and personal safety. The TAPS heads opted for the safety.

Why would a spirit hang out in the admin building?? That's what Kris and Amy want to know as they wander through the building and pretend they're lost mental patients. The problem with this place is that it's so old every noise sounds spooky, but there's no evidence of paranormal.

Britt and KJ get startled by a figure moving left to right in the research center! They slowly move towards it as it keeps moving and the light changing- the tension is building!!! Yet there's nothing there and there is no way out.

In the Salmon Building (a residence hall) Jay & G taunt the crazies, and hear weird howling and moaning sounds. Meanwhile the lady investigators take on the tunnels, and Amy is scared to death at the horror movie in the making. They get totally lost and stumble upon a hospital- the building feels different in a hair-up-on-the-neck way. Is someone following them? It feels like it!! Then there's voices and wild noises, the whole freak-out package! Even after they start the EVP session the noises just keep on coming.

So overall the team could verify the claims about the Norwich facility, plus a few more. In the reveal they show all the evidence collected, plus video of a door opening near Kris and Amy as if something was entering the room with them. Bottom line: TAPS is leaving Norwich with confirmation of their belief that the place is haunted.

America's Next Top Model S14E09

Episode 09 - Hobbits vs. Models (05/05/2010)

Tension rose in the house when Angelea felt that her closest ally, Krista, was becoming closer to Alexandra than her. Jessica accidentally burnt a taco, setting the toaster on fire.

The girls arrived at the “Hobbiton” movie set for the Lord of the Rings trilogy and met actress Sarah McLeod, who introduced them to their photo shoot challenge – they only had five frames to pose at the doorway of the Hobbit House. Angelea and Krista excelled, but it is the latter who won $3,000 worth of designer clothes.

Tyra was the photographer for this week’s photo shoot, which required the girls to pose with shadows. Alexandra impressed by pushing through despite having a runny nose. Krista’s knowledge of her angles earned her a third consecutive first call-out, tying the record set by Joanie Dodds in Cycle 6.

Tyra didn't feel enough enthusiasm coming from Raina, and she landed in the bottom two for the first time. But it was Jessica’s lack of high fashion ability which caused her to be eliminated.

First call-out: Krista White
Bottom two: Jessica Serfaty & Raina Hein
Eliminated: Jessica Serfaty

Ghost Hunters S06E09

Episode 09 - Spirits Of The Night (28/04/2010)

Warning! At the end of this episode the team will present one of the most alarming piece of evidence- ever!

First, the investigation. The team visits the home of the terrified Scully family who is ready to move. Mrs. Scully shows the team the hot spots starting in the living room that has confrontational shadows, adult legs walking up the stairs and spirits breathing down people's necks.

The greatest activity is in 4-year-old Tyler's room. He spends his time with the ghosts of 2 small children, and speaks so freely with and about them that Mrs. Scully has taken him to mental health professionals for evaluations. A medium has visited and advised the Scully family not to provoke the spirits- though for $300 the medium could make the problem go away.

This is the kind of case TAPS lives for because they can help a family find peace of mind. And they do it for free.

The night starts in the living room with Jay, Grant and some EVP. They hear a shuffling noise upstairs and track it to the daughter, Samantha's, room where they move a stroller to create the sound. They reposition the stroller within the camera frame in case it moves again. Next Britt and guest investigator K.J. check out Samantha's room where they hear a rustling noise in the corner and the sounds of someone in the closet. Amy and Kris take a turn in the master bedroom to investigate the slamming bathroom door and think they hear a voice. They move on to Tyler's spooky room and bombard the spirits with questions. Hopefully the recorders pick something up.

In the living room K.J. and Britt pick up massive EMF spikes, but it keeps fluctuating. There are no electrical situations that would cause that. Yet suddenly Britt is overcome with nausea. Was it the EMF spikes? Paranormal? Bad lunch?

Jason and Grant revisit the living room and continue to hear that dragging sound from upstairs. They hear all kinds of crazy humming, thumping and footstep noises from upstairs. Then it starts talking. They run upstairs- it goes quiet. So they separate- one up, one down. The crazy noises continue- they're coming from Tyler's room! Someone was in there!

In addition to the personal experiences, the tapes have evidence too. (As promised.) First, when Grant and Jason are in the hall, the audio picked up the clear sound of footsteps. They can also clearly hear whispers on the tape as the guys check out the attic. In the footage of Kris and Amy in the bathroom the audio picked up a sound- perhaps that of a child laughing?

Finally there is the moving stroller. Remember Grant and Jay moved the stroller into view of the camera? Well, the video caught the stroller moving all by itself!!! Still, there is no evidence that the spirits have evil intent. But if the family is uncomfortable living with ghosts then they can sit down with the entities and explain to them that it is time to leave.

America's Next Top Model S14E08

Episode 08 - Welcome to New Zealand (28/04/2010)

After an exhausting 22-hour flight, the girls arrived in Auckland, then were taken to Mount Eden and greeted by a traditional Māori Haka, after which they were immediately sent for their go-sees challenge, with almost no time to prepare. Alasia, Angelea and Krista received positive reviews from the designers, while Alexandra, Jessica and Raina received mixed feedback. Only Alexandra, Angelea and Jessica made it back on time, with Angelea being deemed the best, having booked all six of her go-sees. She and Krista won an assortment of designer pieces.

At their next photo shoot, the girls were challenged to wear the same black Lloyd Klein dress, and make the best out of that dress (with sheep as their background). Jessica, Angelea and Alasia struggled whilst Alexandra, Krista and Raina produced highly-praised photos.

At panel, when Angelea's photo was going to be discussed, she showed Tyra and the judges a "little club thingy", which had Krista and Alexandra in hysterics. Jessica was criticized for her lack of versatility but was saved over Alasia, whom the judges felt lacked focus in photo shoots.

First call-out: Krista White
Bottom two: Alasia Ballard & Jessica Serfaty
Eliminated: Alasia Ballard

Ghost Hunters S06E08

Episode 08 - Inn Of The Dead (21/04/2010)

The Orleans Inn in Cape Cod, Mass., was once a getaway spot for gangsters and bootleggers (and a house of ill repute) during the roaring twenties. The problem is, some of them never left!

The claims are interesting: ghosts of naked women, candles lighting on their own, glasses sliding off tables, hauntings by two separate men who hanged themselves and doors opening and closing. The freakiest claim is of Room 5, where two separate guests have checked in and then been driven to the point of insanity inside the room. That's weird.

Some of the claims can easily be debunked, but the mental illness and apparitions are intriguing. The good news is Britt and Joe Chin are able to pitch in on this investigation. Jason and Grant hit Room 5, trying to figure out what would drive 2 people to madness. It feels like a grandmother's house … until a faint woman's scream comes the closet area.

In the basement, Britt and Joe check out the scene of Paul the kitchen worker's suicide with a full spectrum camera. The ghost was quiet, but there was a shadow passing back and forth in front of a window- but when they got closer it stopped.

Kris and Amy speak out to the spirit of Hannah in room 4. They hear a rustling sound from the guest bathroom. It's the curtain moving! So they do the flashlight test, asking Hannah a question and BOOM! Right away the light goes on. Can she turn it off? It goes off. A full-on conversation ensues- and Hannah reveals she was hurt by a customer, she's not the only ghost in the inn, and there is someone moving upstairs as they speak! Kris and Amy run upstairs but there's no one there! What the hell is going on in this place??

Joe and Britt head to the tavern to debunk the moving glass claim, but they can't. Are they ready to call it paranormal? No. So they move on to room 5, where they confirm there are no abnormal EMF readings. An EVP session ensues, and they hear a bang in the bathroom but didn't get much of a response to any questions. While Steve and Tango are checking out the basement the heating unit kicks on, throwing some high EMF at them. This could easily make someone get that eerie feeling. Paul isn't talking, and it seems that people reporting claims could simply be affected by EMFs and the history rather than reality.

Now it's show time in the lobby. Grant and Jason say goodnight to Paul, hoping he'll respond and they wait for the dancing naked lady to appear. Grant sees a shadow rush behind the cameraman- it passed 3 times and there was no way it was headlights from a car! So they head to the dining room and hear a mumbling sound. Like a guy is trying to talk to them!

At the reveal, the owner, Ryan Mass, reveals that the walls in room 5 were soundproofed, so that scream Jason and Grant heard was probably louder than they realized! Then new evidence comes forward that Steve and Tango were not alone in their investigation of the cupola. A voice was caught saying either "let me out" or "get me down" (that would make sense given someone hanged himself up there). Ryan seems shocked upon seeing the flashlight conversation! Don't forget, Grant assures him, these spirits are just people. There's nothing to fear.

America's Next Top Model S14E07

Episode 07 - Big Hair Day (21/04/2010)

The girls received a surprise visit from model Pat Cleveland and fashion designer Whitney Port, who dolled them up for a night out at Lucky Cheng’s drag queen cabaret. There, they met Ms. J, who introduced them to their runway challenge. Krista’s personality on the runway won the audience’s vote and she was declared the winner. She and Angelea won specially designed pieces from Whitney Port’s collection.

While leaving for the photo shoot, the other girls finally had enough of Alasia's tardiness, and decided to leave her (with the elevator hanging up on Alasia, she resorted to use the stairs instead). The girls were split into two teams – Angelea, Anslee, Krista and Raina with their mentor Weaven Steven, and Alasia, Alexandra and Jessica with Derek J. They had to model in dresses made entirely out of hair, with the other team will try to distract them. Krista embodied Grace Jones and she produced a stellar film. Alexandra's performance was once again deemed lukewarm.

At panel, a shepherd arrived with sheep, which lead to the revelation that the final six girls would be going to New Zealand for the remainder of the competition. Krista received the first call-out, and she won a surprise first-class ticket to the country and chose Angelea to join her. Angelea's shot was universally criticized, however, at the end it was revealed that her shot is the second best shot. Raina was praised too, while Jessica was praised again for her ability to jump, move and make her face look great at the same time. Alasia's shot didn't receive praise, as it was surely an admirable photo.

The judges saw Anslee as purely a beauty model, and didn't feel enough passion from Alexandra. In the end, Anslee was sent packing as Alexandra joined the other five girls bound for New Zealand.

First call-Out: Krista White
Bottom two: Alexandra Underwood & Anslee Payne-Franklin
Eliminated: Anslee Payne-Franklin

The show was created and is hosted by talk-show host and model Tyra Banks, who also serves as the head judge and executive producer of the show. The first "cycle" premiered in May 2003 and was one of UPN's highest rated shows. The show's seventh cycle was the first of the shows among regular programming on UPN's successor network, The CW, and thus far is the network's highest rated series. The opening theme is performed by Tyra Banks and is produced by Rodney "Darkchild" Jerkins. Banks co-produces the show with Ken Mok and Anthony Dominici, and is an independent production of 10 by 10 Entertainment and Bankable Productions (part of the dummy company/joint venture Pottle Productions), distributed for The CW by Bankable Productions and syndicated internationally by KingWorld (and its successor CBS Television Distribution). For the 2006–2007, 2007–2008 and 2008–2009 television seasons, ANTM was the #1 show in average viewers on The CW.

Spartacus : Blood and Sand S01E13

Episode 13 - Kill Them All (16/04/2010)..

Spartacus and Crixus are to battle at the ludus for the well-to-do of Capua. Bent on revenge, Spartacus enlists help for an uprising, but there is one man who can stop him.

Spartacus: Blood and Sand is a Starz television series that premiered on January 22, 2010. The series is inspired by the historical figure of Spartacus (played by Andy Whitfield), a Thracian gladiator who from 73 to 71 BC led a major slave uprising against the Roman Republic. Executive producers Steven S. DeKnight and Robert Tapert focused on structuring the events of Spartacus' obscure early life leading up to the beginning of historical records. The show has been rated TV-MA for graphic violence, strong sexual content, and coarse language.

The show was initially renewed for a second season but production was delayed because Whitfield was diagnosed with early-stage non-Hodgkin lymphoma. Due to the delay, Starz produced a six-episode prequel series, entitled Spartacus: Gods of the Arena. Pre-production of season 2 began following the announcement that Whitfield was cancer free, however his cancer recurred. Starz has since replaced Whitfield with actor Liam McIntyre, who will play Spartacus for season two

Ghost Hunters S06E07

Episode 07 - Ghosts In The Attic (14/04/2010)

Imagine if your dream house turned into a house of horrors! It happened in Amityville, and it's happening in Plymouth, Mass.

Thirty years ago, John and Pauline Grzelak moved into a house that seemed to have permanent residents. Recently, the spirits have turned mean- one shadow even punched a relative in the stomach! The family has seen several shadows, a woman in red, orbs of light, a little girl walking around and Pauline reported a woman putting extreme pressure on her chest as she was sleeping.

Pauline is frightened to the point that she wants to leave her home. The team is definitely anxious to get in and help this family out so they can be at peace in their home.

Jason and Grant begin investigating the first floor with aggressive EVP work. The whole living room is suddenly filled with a blue light, but it goes out as soon as the guys entered the room. Is the light leading them upstairs? Jason and Grant move to the master bedroom, and they hear someone moving downstairs. Then a rattling sound comes from upstairs. As Jason says, this thing is in control and wants them to know it can lead them wherever it wants them to go.

Taking a turn on the second floor, Amy and Kris hear an outrageous hissing noise but they can't figure out what that noise is! Eerie!

Back on the first floor, Jay and Grant see a shadow popping in and out by the window in the corner as the family had reported. Grant went outside to recreate that effect, to no avail. Whatever they are seeing is INSIDE the house with them.

At the reveal, Pauline reports that she had that pressure on her chest once more! Grant tells her about his experience with sleep paralysis, which may explain her situation. Meanwhile, Jason reveals the team's experiences with the moving shadow, the bright light and the hissing noise.

Jason also plays the most interesting find: a woman's voice saying "Do you see me?"

Pauline still appears to be uncomfortable, and who wouldn't be? So Jason and Grant reassure her that these spirits are just people and she can talk to them directly. Don't forget, Grant reminds Pauline, they are only an hour away and can always come see her in a time of need.

Next it's the NJ Bar and Grill where a man was once murdered by his mistress while playing pool. In the bar area, two wine bottles had levitated and hit the ground. A shadow has taunted one of the owners, and oddities have frightened workers out of the basement more than once.

Jay and Grant attack the main claim in the bar area. Every step and movement vibrates the bar, but would it be enough to move 2 wine bottles? Before they can address it they are distracted by odd sounds from the kitchen. Darn, it's just a compressor fan.

Taking a turn in the bar, Britt and Amy play the flashlight game, asking the ghosts to turn the light on and off ONLY on command. The spirits light the light each time. They tighten the screw top, and the spirit continues to control the flashlight. Whoa.

Kris takes a stroll through the basement. Zip happens. But the audio later reveals a voice joining her in reading her EMF devices aloud.

So the evidence points to a haunting in NJ.

Episode 06 - New York Women (14/04/2010)

The girls visited Ann Shoket at the Seventeen Magazine headquarters, and Alasia’s insistence on taking a shower beforehand caused them to be late. Ann taught them about how to dress in order to flatter all kinds of body types. They were then given 5 minutes to dress themselves up, and as a surprise, all of them got to keep the outfits they chose. The next night, the girls were invited to Tinsley Mortimer’s launch party of her new line of handbags, and were given the opportunity to mingle with the guests as well as to have some one-on-one time with Tinsley. Jessica’s sunny personality and cute outfit impressed Tinsley the most and she won a photo shoot in Seventeen Magazine, which she shared with Brenda and Raina (since Jessica was first call-out at the previous judging, she got to choose two people instead of one).

The photo shoot took place in the subway and at Grand Central – 42nd Street station, which was also their first CoverGirl assignment. The girls had to portray different facets of New York women.

At panel, Angelea finally received the first call-out, after three second call-outs. Krista and Anslee met with very positive reviews, while Alexandra and Raina was a bit criticized for being playing safe. André harshly criticized Jessica’s choice of shoes, and her combative responses displeased the judges. Alasia’s bad photo and lack of focus and Brenda’s lack of chemistry in front of the camera and looking old in her photos put them in the bottom two. In the end, a teary Alasia was saved again as Brenda was eliminated.

First call-out: Angelea Preston
Bottom two: Alasia Ballard & Brenda Arens
Eliminated: Brenda Arens
