WILL BAD KARMA BE SERVED?

It's official (we hope) that the Singapore based AXN Network will telecast the entire two hour final of the Amazing Race tonight Monday December 10 at 8:05 PM Bangkok time and 9:05 PM in the Singapore, Hong Kong time zones.

As we pointed out last week there is a strange quirk going on this season as there will be four teams as opposed to the normal three in the finals. In our previous tow reports we reviewed two of the finalists the thieving Sri Lankan twins who were raised in New York City. Stealing is not a New York franchise as they do it well in Asia.

The finals also include the Texas University students Trey and Lexi who are dating. There claim to fame is they wanted the twins to share the money they stole form the Rockers Abba and James.

The two remaining teams are Chippendale dancers James and James who are our favorites because they are HONEST, not back stabbing and considerate of others. The other team is referred to as the The Fabulous Beekman Boys stars Josh Kilmer-Purcell and Brent Ridge. The Beekman Boys is a TV show that has a limited USA audience which we know nothing about. Both are polite, meek, on the effeminate but tough enough to run a goat farm and are handy with tools. Their skills have enabled them to finish in the top four. They are considers and being promoted as the ultimate underdogs. Should they or the Chippendales dancers win it will serve justice well.

The strange events that permitted the thieving twins to remain in the race when they finished last in the previous episode is they are the loudest and most despised team in the race. Had they been eliminated the finals two hour episode would be a ratings bore and considered bad television. In reality they are detested for their evil ways in stealing money by many fans of the show that will be rooting against them. Advertisers want viewer's thus evil wins in the almighty race for the dollar by the teams and the advertisers. The producers lost the ethics plot when they didn't eliminate the twins for stealing. They should have been turned over to the police but again networks, producers and advertisers are in it to make money ethically or not.

Apparently The Amazing Race is taking American Idol's lead on lost ethics as was the case last season when they gave Jessica Sanchez a royal screw job. That resulted in the departure of judges Jennifer Lopez and Steven Tyler to pursue other interests. That can't happen to the Amazing Race as the contestants ARE THE STARS while Idol focuses on championing their judges but that's another bitch for another time.

In the past there has been a special two hour reality show episode with four teams in which one team is eliminated half way through after the first hour. Three teams then race to the finish line for the prize. Will this be the case? If the twins are last in the first hour would they permit them to continue? Tune in and find out tonight on AXN.

THE VOICE'S CHRISTINA AGUILERA TALKS LOUD

The final four have been decided and all of our choices in our previous article made it through along with rock singer Terry McDermott. All are good and worthy of winning. McDermott has talent and experience singing with bands. He's good but the best voices remain Nicholas David who sounds like a white Barry White and Trevin Hunte.

Hunte continues to reach for the sky and has a tendency to try too hard in proving himself and stretching his vocal chords. He pushes so hard that he is borderline pitchy. Judge Christina Aguilera is so thrilled with his talent that she said that whatever happens to him win or lose on the show she wants to expose his talent to the world and take him on tour with her, "I would love to show you the ropes personally." That is a bold statement given that Hunte coached by Cee Lo Green. Bottom line is that is a nice gesture should she REALLY mean it.

Cassadee Pope remains the most commercial and marketable of all the talent. She claims that she wants to be a rocker but she sings country well but her heart is in rock.

This week on of four talents singers will be eliminated. As Aguilera pointed out that it isn't the end of the world as she lost in the talent contest Star Search and look what happened to her... she's a star. The same applies to Jennifer Hudson and Adam Lambert who both lost but have successful careers.

Should Nicholas David or Kevin Hunte win it will be Cee Lo Green's 1st win as a coach. Should Terry McDermott or Cassadee Pope win it will be Blake Shelton's 2nd win in three seasons as a coach.

The show is down to its final six and all are good. Our favorites and reason why are as follows:

1. Nicholas David - He has the best quality voice and the most professional experience having been in a band. He's mature and in his 30's which can be an advantage dealing with the entertainment business wars. He makes great song choices to fit his voice. David has been the most consistent performer throughout the competition. He has yet to have a poor performance.

2. Trevin Hunte - Great voice. He's only 18-years old and is shy, lacks confidence and experience. Hunte could be a super star as he gains experience, confidence and matures. Being so young and being exposed to the Hollyweird community can be overwhelming. Should he survive the mental part of the business and be mentored by the right manager he could go far. His weakness is trying too hard in showing what he can do. The result is he reaches beyond his talent and has a tendency to make slight vocal errors.

3. Cassadee Pope - Has improved the most of all the contestants. The past two weeks she has shined with two strong performances. Of all the contestants she is the most marketable being that she is young, attractive, and talented. Her pop/country style is the most appealing to record buyers that tend to be her age or younger.

4. Terry McDermott - A good talent but not great but enjoyable to listen to. Could have a successful career but doubtful that he's good or popular enough to win The Voice.
