The "What are you Watching?" Thread

[PurpleParrot319]

I'm watching AGT too. After season 5, I said to myself I wasn't going to watch season 6, but here I am, watching it. >_>

So TBK, what did you think of iLuminate? With that performance, I say they're already better than Fighting Gravity from last season. I mean, they're very similar. However, iLuminate is way more technical than FG, and I like that. This might be the act that could very well prevent a singer from winning AGT for the first time ever.

They're pretty good...but personally, I like the guy that juggles the stun guns.

That was amazing too. Thing is though, what else can these two acts do? For the taser juggler, what other death defying things can he do? Is this guy a one hit wonder? As for iLuminate, they're just like Fighting Gravity in another way. Last year, when I first saw FG, I wondered if they were a one hit wonder. I'm glad they proved me wrong. I wonder the same about iLuminate. What else can they do? I hope they don't disappoint. Also, at the end of this show, I saw a sneak peak of some of next week's acts. One of them looks similar to iLuminate. These guys might have some competition this year. FG didn't have to deal with another similar act last year.

All I can say is because of iLuminate, I now plan on watching this show all the way to the end of the season. I just hope the Fall classes for my community college later this year don't interfere. I'm going into more technical, hands on classes this August.

I also find it kind of sad that the Double Dream Hands man didn't even make it past the auditions. The man's dances are very popular on Youtube and he got booed by the audience and got 3 X's from the 3 judges (although Sharon pressed Howie's buzzer button). The man has appeared in a Sprint phone commercial too. Talk about a fail. I mean, what he does is great, but it's not worthy of winning $1 million. It's just not what the show is looking for. Acts like iLuminate is what the show is looking for.

The Scripps Spelling Bee finals, and the words are extremely varied this year.  There's some that are ridiculously hard, and some that I remember studying when I was in middle school.

I was in the Scripps spelling bee in middle school!

I've actually been embarrassed to admit it, but me too... and I did make it to the nationals (not that I was the champion, but still).

But it was weird because, like I mentioned, some of the words from the televised rounds this year, I remembered studying for the REGIONALS when I was eligible.  The rest were as hard as I'd expect, but I'm still surprised how long the final five managed to keep going (at one point, they each made it through four rounds before the next contestant was eliminated).  I'm a little disappointed that the one I was rooting for (an eighth-grade girl from Ontario) only placed second, but oh well.

I was also in Washington as part of the nationals. I was knocked out in the 4th round, but I still came in 40th out of 296, so I'm not complaining.

Oh, I'm jealous now. You two made that spelling bee? That's awesome! I loved the spelling bees. I entered them starting in the 3rd grade all the way to the 8th grade (9th grade on up didn't have a spelling bee for my district). The highest place I got was 2nd in the 7th grade. I wish I never misspelled "dilapidate" that year. Getting a chance to compete in the Scripps s.b. would've been awesome.

Full House - "But Seriously, Folks"

Oh, come on, ALF: it's a little soon to be calling that.  We just happened to have conversation based on one thing that we were watching.


Currently I'm watching a few Millionaire vids from the new season, including some of the bigger winners from this season and funnier moments like the "Uranus" slip-up (see the innuendo thread).

A preview for a game called Never Dead... which contains a preview for a new song off of Megadeth's upcoming album.

The Fifth Element on "Swye Fwye," as I can't help but call the channel ever since the spelling change.

Why is it called SyFy now? Sorry for making this topic go overboard again. >_>
