Today was the end of the CBS shows that we have been watching all summer. We had to tape BB6 since we had running club tonight but got to see both season finales (sp?). Here are my thoughts on the show winners.

Big Brother 6

Two words: Nerd Herd. Between Maggie or Ivette, I am glad that Maggie won the prise. I guess I really didn’t care for either one to win but since there had to be a winner Maggie was the less annoying of the two and she had my vote. The best part of the finale was watching the rest of the nerd herd realize they were played all season long by their own leader and of course Janelle’s comments. Best part of the show? Jedi Howie

Rock Star INXS

We watched this one from day one, to me it was the grown up version of that idol show so many other people like. I really enjoyed the combination of styles and talents and how the progressed through the show. The top three were not necessarily a surprise and Sarah and I picked Mig being the first one to be eliminated tonight.

JD had the attitude, mostly driven by confidence and passion, from day one but the was able to deliver on stage. Marty truly became a performer while on this show and he has a lot of talent but his attitude and his I-know-what-is-best sort of demeanor got a little old. On stage both knew how to delivery powerful performances but Sarah and I both agreed that JD was a better artist. INXS was not looking for a good person, they were looking for someone to lead their band and I think JD was the best choice.

Although the true winner of this show was INXS. I am not sure how many 18 year olds knew of the band before this show. I am not sure how many would become fans because of the show, but I am sure a lot more “kids” will know the name INXS from now on.
