The DVR: A Story of Heartbreak and Hope

So our computer broke.  . .then we couldn't afford the Internet . . .now we have a computer and Internet. . . we were going to write something clever . . .but who has the energy. . .let's try this again.

For those of you who don't know. . .we are addicted to the dvr. We only watch recorded TV. And we watch lots and lots of recorded TV. So that's the background that you need to know. There will also be dramatic emotions described. They are exaggerated. We know there's more to this world than reality TV.

A couple of years ago, I conned Snae into watching "Glee." She thought it was okay but I loved it. And she would've quit long ago, but it is one of my favorite shows. So when "The Glee Project" came, we had to watch it. Well. . . I had to watch it and didn't give Snae much of a choice.

But it was much better than expected. We recently gave our friend Cindy a huge explanation of what other shows could learn from "The Glee Project." As with all shows we have chosen a favorite, and we chose Damian. Cute, Irish, sings like a crooner, bad dancer, long shot to win. We love him. Honestly I think when we see him, we actually are pretending to see other Irish guys. Horrible font aside, Westlife is a very talented and popular Irish boy band all over the world and a one hit wonder in the US. PS-- Snae likes that ordinary brunette at the end. I like the third guy who is obviously very religious and smirky. Okay, okay, I'll post a video so you can enjoy Irish awesomeness.

Yes, I am getting to the point. Sunday night we were watching something on the dvr. And then the unthinkable happened. When our show stopped, the tv was playing the show it was recording which was "The Glee Project." It was a couple of minutes from the end and I saw a look of horror on Snae's face and I looked up and Damian was obviously going home. We had no idea what happened and it was horrible. We had already decided to go to bed so I just said that we would watch it tomorrow.

We mourned Damian all day. It was like living under a rain cloud. We decided that without Damian, we would put our full support behind Cameron. Quirky, from Fort Worth, has an unwavering stand on his morals (a very odd characteristic for reality TV). We watched the show on Monday night, we said our goodbyes to Damian throughout the entire episode. We repeatedly talked about how Cameron was a good choice. How he could maybe make it to the end. We were sad but Cameron was our new golden boy.

Then the Glee Project miracle of 2011 happened. (The show is already in talks for season 2 so there's a good chance for a miracle in 2012 . . .hence the date reference.) Damian was NOT going home. The thirty seconds we saw was just a misleading moment when taken out of context. Shocking that we would jump to conclusions. You will never believe who went home instead. CAMERON! So it was an odd feeling. Our "old" favorite was staying and "new" favorite was gone. So we sadly said goodbye to Cameron and hopped right back on the Damian bandwagon. I leave you today with Cameron singing "Blackbird". . .  until the video gets taken down for copyright reasons.
