Looks like I picked wrong on Big Brother 5: Drew won. In the end, the jury of ex-houseguests decided the clueless Michael didn't have a strategy.

There's always a certain mellow sadness at this time of the year, when my favorite semi-weekly time-waster has come to an end. Oh well, there's still The Apprentice, where Trump, based on last week's episode, appears to be ratcheting up his cold-bloodedness.

I know, I know, I shouldn't watch. I have better things to do. What was it Beckett said about reality TV? "I can't watch any more. I must watch more."
