Survivor:Phillipines is back yayyy!! I haven't seen it yet - [livejournal.com profile] shirebound, have you? - but I just found out that Lisa Whelchel is in it. The Lisa from The New Mickey Mouse Club of '77-'78 ( I think ) and the actress who played Blair from The Facts Of LIfe. Not that I'm much of a fan of her - Allison was my favourite mouseketeer -, but I did watch Facts of Life regularly, so it brings back lots of fond memories. I remember very well watching the Mickey Mouse Club on TV, waiting avidly for Allison especially!

Did you watch that show when you were a kid? Other than Lisa and Allison, I remember Kelly very well, and it seems that she went on to become a beauty queen? Though I guess nobody made it as big as Britney and Justin. I didn't watch the one with Britney and Justin though and I only just knew that Justin Timberlake used to be in the club when I was googling for Lisa and his pics kept turning up lol.

I've downloaded Downton Abbey 301 but haven't watched it yet. I'm so afraid that Mary and Matthew *still* won't get married. I wouldn't mind Mary getting back with Ser Jorah Sir Richard but Mary/Matthew is still my OTP!

I wasn't very keen on series 2 of Downton but 301 was GOOD!

Yeah, the second season was not that good for me either though I still enjoyed it. Very soap opera-ish with eveyone being paired with everyone else.

I haven't seen 301 yet but now that you have said it's good, I'm going to watch it tonight!

Series 2 was silly. They did WW1 in something like 2 episodes???? And Matthew was in a wheelchair then out.... silly.

301 was good. 302 not quite as good.

I watched almost all of the new "Survivor" episode (fell asleep before the end!) and was delighted to see Lisa Whelchel again. She's such a fan, I hope she gets the full "Survivor" experience and gets to stay a long time.

Sorry to be so brief, still having internet and computer problems.

I hope she'll last a long time in Survivor, too!

Btw, one of the contestants reminded me of Claudia. Did any of them make you think of her? :D

I hope you'll get your internet and computer problems sorted out soon.

I'll have to watch more closely next week!

Do tell me if anyone there make you think of her!

Is it the older lady on the team with Roxy and Russell? I think she does look like Claudia will appear in about 10-15 years.

Denise :DDD

I haven't seen the 2nd episode yet but in the first ep she was cosy with, I think his name is Malcolm, the blond guy.

I'm waiting for the Downton DVD. I wasn't too impressed with series 2 but hope they did better for 3. :) Let us know what you think of the first ep when you have seen it! :)

Yes, the second season was a bit disappointing for me too, though I still enjoyed it. Arabia above said that 3x01 was good so I'm now looking forward to watching it. Hopefully I'll be able to wattch it tonight!
