Why was I not informed of this sooner?!

apocalypsosOkay, quite frankly The Ultimate Gift looks like the kind of cheese I would avoid depending on the kind of reviews it gets. Normally the only selling point would be that Abigail Breslin plays the little girl which means she'll probably be adorable in it.
Except Drew Fuller is the lead.
Drew Fuller, all hot and making out with chicks. Drew Fuller, dressed in black and wearing shades and smoking. Drew Fuller, doing manual labor on a ranch while wearing tight jeans and a cowboy hat.
If I lovingly pet the screen during the run of the trailer, does that make me a weird person?

Well, let's see:
David and Mary -- Well, that's one team I hate gone. I'm sure they're very nice people in real life but Mary's consistent nagging and the fact that neither one of them can seem to wrap their brains around their being in a RAAAAACE grated and grated hard. I mean, if someone accepts your help and then passes you on the road that does not mean they're not your friends anymore, it just means that they're doing what they were fucking signed up to do. Idiots.
Rob and Amber -- Sorry, but I like them a lot. I do. They're capable, they're smart, and they don't get flustered. I don't even care when they're manipulative, because they're still entertaining to me. Besides, at least Rob shows Amber more respect than Eric was showing Danielle. I did find it hysterical that when they got to the fish place Amber pointed at Danielle and said, "She's doing it, I can do it." Oh, Amber. I have more faith in you picking up those damn fish than I do in Danielle. (Damn, I would have rocked that challenge. I was a tomboy as a kid and still haven't gotten over the urge to pick up every creature that crosses my path. I used to catch little baby catfish by hand in the pond at the park.)
Uchenna and Joyce -- I was kind of grateful that the others didn't blame them when they didn't come back with tickets for everybody and were smart enough to realize that it was their own damn faults for not giving over the security codes. Aside from that, I'm still a wee bit meh over them this season.
Eric and Danielle -- Oh, my God, Fratard, shut UP. He managed to make Rob look like a classy guy which is truly an accomplishment. And I still don't buy that they're dating. Hell, I barely believe that he's straight. I don't blame them one bit for listening in on the Guidos getting directions, though. You'd think people on this show would learn to get people to write or draw the directions so others won't overhear, and not to get pissy if they do.
Dustin and Kandice -- Two points off for fucking up and missing the Detour clue, but two points added for not freaking out, calmly figuring out where they missed out, and just going back to get the damn thing.
Oswald and Danny -- Oh, boys. *smishes them* I love that they're like, "We don't have to be dicks on the race. We can still be nice to everybody and run the race." YES. This is why I like them. If only other teams had this attitude.
Teri and Ian -- The second Ian yelled for security on Mirna and Charla, I cheered. Dude, I have no trouble believing that Teri and Ian can outbitch Mirna and Charla every day of the week and twice on Sundays. And mucho bonus points to Teri for falling into the river and laughing as they pulled her back into the raft because she was having so much damn fun.
Team Guido -- I'm loving them this time around, even if getting annoyed over Eric and Danielle listening to their directions was a little over the top. But at the end when Joe was crying in the car and on the Bathmat even I wanted to reach through the TV and hug him. Dude, I know.
Charla and Mirna -- GODDAMN IT. Who do I have to pay off for those two to fall off the face of the earth? Is there any possible way the two of them could NOT be annoying? If it's nor Mirna shrieking over the damn fish or speaking broken English (... idiot) or butting in front of Teri and Ian at the ticket counter it's Charla acting like a snot. Man, I really hope they get eliminated next week because at this point I can't even enjoy hating them.
Next week: We'll all be talking about what happens at the Bathmat! Oh, good, 'cause we never talk about that after the episode airs.

Also, yes. Mirna and Charla are quickly passing from "fun to hate" to "I can't even enjoy hating on them, and ACTIVELY WISH THEM ILL".

Date: 2007-03-05 03:04 am (UTC)Mirna and Charla just ... *grrr* There's just no redeeming qualities there, aside from just enough luck not to be eliminated. *sigh*

If you can shock Rob with your bad behaviour you know it is bad.

Oh, Drew, I actually kind of hate you because you made me stop and watch reruns of Charmed the horrible years strictly for your hotassness. The things I do for pretty boys. *shakes head*

Now, what do you think of Drew Fuller all hot in an uniform? He's one of the leads on Army Wives, a Lifetime Tv Show.
