Here are the programs I watched in TV today.

1. The Psychic's Secret Revealed. The show explains how psychics fake spoon-bending telekinesis and mind-blowing telepathy. I don't believe in people who claim to be psychics and this show gives me a reason why. The stunts they perform to trick the people are quite ingenious. But they are fake nevertheless. Do you know that the psychic's reading of your life is scripted. They tell you the same thing. People believe that the readings are specific to them but actually they generally apply to anyone. Psychics are good actors but the stuff they do are fake.

2. WWE Smackdown. Psychics are fake. Wrestlers are not. It's obvious that the matches are planned and the lines they say are scripted but the punching, the pedigrees, suplexes, archaeos... the act of wrestling in general is real. My sisters say that the punches are faked but they don't watch WWE so they don't really know. They're not fake. The only reason why the wrestlers don't seem to flinch whenever they are punched at is because they're bodies are built for that stuff. The more muscles you have the less pain you would feel during brawls. The match I saw is a three-person battle for the heavy weight championship. It's between Chris Benoit, Shawn Michael, and Triple H. It's a non-disqualification match so anything goes. At the end of the match Shawn Michael's face is covered with blood, Triple H has a cut in his forehead, while Chris Benoit may have suffered from a back injury when he was thrown at his back on the steel table used by the commentators. Christ Benoit won after Triple H tapped out.

3. Amazing Race 6. The best reality show ever. The others are good not because they're "good" but in a way, by watching these reality shows, it makes you feel superior over the people who make idiots of themselves. There's a lot of these shows actually. Most are from MTV like Wild Boyz, The Assistant, One Bad Trip... and so on. Given the chance, I would join the Amazing Race. Not only do you compete for a million bucks, you also travel the world in the process. Even if you didn't win, the places you get to visit are equally rewarding. Too bad only American citizens could join.

4. Sponge Cola on MYX Live. The band rocks. I especially like their song Lunes and their cover of Madonna's Crazy For You. Mabuhay ang OPM!!!
