rerun?

when’s the replays scheduled? QTV is barely off it’s feet to answer these questions. They don’t have definite scheds. I missed the pilot episode. Would it be possible to purchase a copy of an episode? I can’t TIVO. ….damit.

Murder She Wrote

Who knew Pinoys were so darn good at setting up murder? Hollywood Boot Camp proved to be more fun than ever the third time around. The campers seemed to bring out their A-game for the third challenge inflicting bloody wounds and dressing the perfect crime scene.

Miguel was left in the dust this time, but I couldn’t help to notice how close this challenge really was. Both teams fought neck and neck based on what they learned earlier in the episode. It was nothing but fun to learn how the best in the business get down and dirty, crafting the perfect gore! I think my favorite part of the whole show was when Shereen asked how to cover up a zit on Apple’s face as she modeled for the make-up artist. Or to be more specific, it was Apple’s reaction that was the best part.

I was also keeping close watch on Denise and Miguel throughout. With Miguel out now, perhaps there is nothing more to watch on this front. Maybe she’ll try and fan the flame with Minco?

Three things I learned while watching episode 3:

1) I would have traded Miguel in a heartbeat for the chance to see Chitoy go just one more round.
2) I want to destroy shirts for a living and get paid for it!
3) I admit that I’m hooked on that damn theme song. “I’m going Hollywood”…

… till next week

Denise and Miguel?

The second installment of Hollywood Boot Camp was more technical this time around. Perhaps in a preview of things to come, it was challenging to navigate through the industry jargon (between scrims and the 2nd 2nd A.D). Good thing they had occasional definitions (anyone know what a P.A. is? Our group is still in the dark on that one.) Just goes to show that the world of behind-the-scenes Hollywood may be less than glamorous (thank goodness we have Google Maps to help navigate!)

Arvin Gets His “Freedom”

Before Arvin even had a chance to complete a sentence without his incessant (dramatic?) pauses, he was gone. And so seven are left to contemplate the consequences of plagiarizing Mel Gibson. Perhaps Private Arvin should have employed his “outside the box” thinking a bit smarter.
