#TheRoundUp by Enzer - No. 41




HOT ON TV

I love Unreal! We love Unreal! You should love Unreal too!




Unreal (airing on Lifetime) has a unique storyline that has me glued to my screen. It’s that kinda show that you could watch over and over again. Remember the sitcom Friends which aired on NBC and continues to be a ratings chart topper? Yea, that’s what you should expect from this show if you haven’t watched it yet. 

The cast is not the best I’ve seen on TV but they keep the show going. I haven’t identified an outstanding lead actor or actress yet but I do love how the supporting cast livens up the series. Now that is a supporting cast. The plot is like no other. Forget the other shows, the people that made up this story (Sarah Gertrude Shapiro and Marti Noxon) are ridiculously talented. I could have never imagined watching a show that creates scenes of how a reality television dating show is produced and not only that, the drama that makes the show, well, a good fictional series makes me want to knock on Hollywood writers doors and ask them this question:

Why Now? Why Not Earlier?




I am so impressed, OMG. The lead actresses Shiri Appleby (Rachel Goldberg) and Constance Zimmer (Quinn King) are not so bad (as mentioned earlier) but they need more help in the acting department. It’s like they never received any formal training but just simply showed up for an audition. That is the only flaw. 

Otherwise, I’m hooked.






HOTTER:

MTV has released the nominee's list for the 2016 MTV Video Music Awards (VMAs) which will air live on MTV later this month. I personally think that Beyonce is going to win everything. As for Adele, on one hand, I don’t really think she deserves to win anything. She only has two hit singles on high rotation! How did she beat Rihanna? On the other hand, I think they probably included her because she is Adele, the famous one, with a comeback that rocked Hollywood – blah blah BLAH. I can’t wait to see what they pull off though.






THROWBACK:

Who Do You Think You Are? U.S.A. ended its 8th season in May. I enjoyed watching the season  (aired on TLC) mainly because of the cast. It gets boring in between ‘this and that' but overall I can tell that a lot of time, effort and money went into the production of this series. I’d definitely try to catch the next season. 

P.S. The U.K. version made me sleep, LOL.

SPORT CHECK

It was all about European soccer for the past couple of weeks as Europe’s soccer giants battled it out for the Euro Cup. What caught my attention were not the players, the venues or the official song (This One’s For You by David Guetta ft. Zara Larsson) but the hype. Everybody was talking about all that was happening and I could feel the excitement even though I wasn’t in France. I really hope the next tournament is as exciting. Congratulations to Portugal (the 2016 champs).



Are you as excited for the upcoming Rio 2016 Summer Olympics as I am? I can’t wait for it to all begin on the 5th of August in sunny Rio de Janeiro. I really hope that the bosses don’t call off the event considering how many athletes are continuously being banned from competing. Fingers crossed. 











FLICK PICK


Looking: The Movie premiered on July 23 on HBO. Sadly, the film’s writers didn’t blow me away because I skipped most of it. The sex scenes were amazing (as usual) but the rest was average. The movie made me look at the show in a different light. When the television series got canceled in 2015, I couldn’t get it but after watching the ‘send-off’ I then understood why many people weren’t watching. The movie was probably a message from the executives telling 'us' that it was never going to happen again. If you have time, watch it.

ON SOCIAL MEDIA



A couple of Hollywood celebrities began following Enzer’s World (E.W.) recently. Joey Cook (former American Idol contestant) and many Youtube stars and Hip-Hop/Rap artists have taken a little interest in what we do. We appreciate the LOVE. :)
