GTL is Back!

August 7, 2010

Yes, everyone the orange tanned fist pumpers from New Jersey are back.

Whether you love them or hate them the Italians are in one of the biggest party areas in America… Miami.

GTL stands for Gym, Tan, and Laundry, which was made famous by Pauly D and the Situation.

Run down on each character from my favorites to least favorites:

1. The Situation- He’s got his own nickname and he has his own lingo that have become classic.

For example, a Grenade (an ugly girl with a group of hot friends) and this season the land mine (an uglier grenade).

2. Pauly D- he’s the situation’s wingman and he’s a DJ.

3. Snooki- She’s short, chubby, and now wears diamond sunglasses.

4. Vinny- He”s the best fist pumper in the house and never is in any drama.

5. JWoww- she’s hot and can fight really well, which was shown in the first season.

6. Ronnie- he’s a total meathead that can’t get over Sammi.

7. Sammi- she’s cute, but always causes drama with her and Ronnie.

8. Angelina- she’s a drama queen and everyone in the house dislikes her.

The show is on every thursday on MTV at 7 PM.

This video shows clips of season 1, but it incorporates GTL and fist pumping with cool background music.


Get Ready for Wipeout

August 5, 2010

Wipeout is possibly one of the most hilarious and underrated shows currently on TV.

Wipeout is an American game show series in which contestants compete in what is billed as the “world’s largest obstacle course”.

It’s called Wipeout because when a contestant falls off one of the obstacles they usually land in mostly water or wet mud.

It’s hilarious because it takes crazy people and makes them look like a fool while they try to win money.

Wipeout is hosted and commentated by John Henson and John Anderson while Jill Wagner acts as the “on-location” presenter.

Anderson is the smart witted broadcaster, Henson brings the humor, but in a childish manor, and Wagner brings the sexiness and just everything you look for in a sideline reporter.

My two favorite obstacles on the show are the “Sucker Punch” and “Big Balls” because they show people getting beat up and thrown in the water in nearly impossible obstacles that are always on show every week.

On March 18, 2010, Activision announced the show would be made into a video game titled Wipeout: The Game, set to be released along with the show’s third season.

Please watch Wipeout on ABC on Tuesdays and Thursdays at 8 pm.


Roc Nation’s New Star

August 1, 2010

Jermaine Cole aka J. Cole is getting big on the scene because of his smooth rap flow and chill beats.

Cole is best known for being the first artist to be signed to Jay-Z’s label Roc Nation.

Cole started rapping at the age of 12 when his cousin showed him the basics of rhyming.

Inspired by Tupac Shakur,Canibus, Nas, and Outkast, J. Cole developed a love for telling stories in his lyrics.

Cole released his debut mixtape, The Come Up, in late 2007 after graduating college.

Jay-Z signed Cole after hearing one of the songs, “Lights Please.”

Prior to releasing his second mixtape, Cole released the single, “Show Me Somethin’” for promotional purposes.

He released his second mixtape, The Warm Up, on June 15, 2009.

My favorite songs by him are “Lights Please”, “I Get Up” and “Heartache”.

J.Cole’s debut album Cole World will be coming out later this year.
