Destination Truth

Destination Truth returns for it’s 5th season premiere on Tuesday, July 10th.

It opens with two special back-to-back episodes, as Josh Gates and his team lead viewers on a chase into one of the world’s biggest caves in the jungles of Vietnam to search for Bigfoot.

Yea… Bigfoot hitched a ride on a liner and is vacationing in Vietnam now.

Warehouse 13

Warehouse 13 kicks off it’s 4th season on Monday, July 23rd and picks up after the shocking events of the climactic season three finale – the loss of Agent Steve Jinks (Aaron Ashmore), Mrs. Frederic (CCH Pounder), H.G. Wells (Jaime Murray) and the destruction of the Warehouse itself.

-

Alphas

Season 2 of Alphas will return on Monday, July 23rd.

“Season 2 picks up eight months after last year’s finale with the stage set for an explosive turn of events at the Binghamton facility (the Guantanamo of the Alpha world) that could have devastating, far-reaching consequences. Dr. Lee Rosen (Emmy Award-winner and Academy Award-nominee David Strathairn), having exposed the existence of Alphas to the unsuspecting public, finds himself discredited and imprisoned by a government desperate to cover up his revelation. The rest of the core team has disbanded and some, without Rosen’s guidance and care, have regressed to their old, destructive ways. They must now battle their individual demons in order to reunite and try to save their own.”

Brusimm Cinema Static TV NewsI came into the 2nd season finale of The Voice on NBC fairly excited.  I enjoy their format along with some of the moments when the judging talent actuall gets up on stage and shows us why they’re top of their class.

It’s a great and original approach that I appreciated.  It also introduced me to the talent in those spinning chairs… I was never exposed to CeeLo Greene or Blake Shelton.

But The Voice‘s season 2 finale was a bit disappointing, or at least confusing.

During the show, we had two modern-day songs and the rest of the performances were of classic, older, soft rock songs than anything else.

I’m not sure what demographic was being appealed to with this selection of music.  Flo Rida and Justin Bieber brought the new music while Daryl Hall and John Oates, Lady Antebellum, and the combined forces of contestants from the show belted out other classics.

The Voice Winner is Jermaine Paul (Which means Blake Shelton’s guy won and next season, we’ll never hear the end of it between Blake and Adam.  LOL.)

As voting goes, Juliett Simms was 2nd, Tony Lucca 3rd, and Chris Mann was 4th.

Well, definitely no more background singing for Jermaine,  that’s a fact!!!   He thanked his family and the man above then gave a victory song of “I Believe I Can Fly,” dashing off to hug his father, then holding his wife on stage during several verses… I think this was one of the most emotionally inspiring reality TV competition show wins I’ve seen in a long time.

Me, personally, I’m more a rocker than anything else and was looking for Juliett Simms to win, but hey, I think CeeLo will be signing her up pretty quick.
