Have you all heard the new Sureshot song yet? If not, download it now and listen, it's great! Hearing Chris sing has given me the hugest smile today.

Story of my Life Thanks to Jilly for capturing at first.

I've just watched the third episode and


I think Jeff made a good point. Performing at the half time show was insane when they hadn't even sung together more than a handful of times. I mean, the first time it was mentioned they hadn't sung together at all. It's nuts, sure they got exposure, but it was of totally the wrong kind. They all knew they were going to get booed, and of course they did, leading to the saddest picture in the world!

What I'm most surprised at is how much I like Bryan. Out of them all he seems the most damaged, and I ached for him when he went to the photo shoot and he said they wouldn't have clothes to fit him. Then the whole drinking thing. I know there was a lot of negativity that Chris held a party despite Bryan admitting to being sober for only 2 months, and I get that. But I think there's a problem in definition here. Chris said he was a recovering alcoholic, and maybe he is, but his problems seem to be different to Bryan's. In that Bryan's problems were more visual and immediate and were hurting him and his family, and he admits that.

Obviously I can't say what Chris was thinking, but I wouldn't be surprised if he didn't realise at that time how bad Bryan's problems were. Chris is surrounded by people who drink and party and I suspect he treated Bryan the same way he does his friends, which was the wrong approach to take, and I think he realised that.

The scenes where Chris was facing Bryan about his drinking hurt to see, and I have so much admiration for Bryan that he allowed that to be shown. I can't imagine facing up to those kind of problems while watched by a camera. Especially away from his friends and family, because he's known the other three all of a few days. Bryan isn't a clown at all. He's anything but. I just hope that he wasn't railroaded into airing his demons like he did, and he was allowed the choice to veto scenes if wanted.

I was commenting to brighton_girl about how some of the show seems staged. That wouldn't surprise me at all. The X Factor started here this week and it was revealed that some of that show was staged so key scenes could be filmed. I think that's the case here. I wouldn't be surprised if the four have been directed to an extent. Not what they're doing as such, but re doing conversations if the cameras didn't catch them the first time. Like Bryan throwing away the Jack. Admission here, I saw that and laughed because all I could think was someone boating on the lake and a bottle zooming out of the darkness and clocking them on the head.

Other things. When Chris stepped onto the set for the photo shoot I almost swallowed my tongue. Just damn. *fans self*

It's interesting to see how the body language differs between these guys and Nsync. I know Sureshot have been together days at this point, but they're very much four separate individuals formed into one group, as opposed to Nsync who always seem as one to me. Even now when Nsync are apart they seem more connected that these four do. That may change, and I hope it does. I miss the lack of personal space, the lounging on one another and casual touching. Though Chris gets a good start by draping himself over Rich at the photoshoot.

I did like Miss Katie better this time. I still think her plan for the half time show sucks, but I agree, names like Plan B aren't good at all.



In conclusion. Love the song. Bryan is becoming an actual person to me, and Chris remains the most beautiful man in the world!
