WEEK OF 1.10.05
Thoughts on the last month or so of reality television.
-Well, it's been a good six weeks since I updated this site, but here we go again. Not too much to get to today because the three main shows, "Apprentice", "Survivor", and "American Idol" haven't started yet. But there are a few other things going on, sort of, so let's get to those.
-The very few of you who are fans of "My Big, Fat, Obnoxioius Boss", no need to worry. It is returning. I just can't remember when. I think it starts up again on Sunday nights in a couple weeks. Maybe I'm in the minority, but that show's hilarious. What's not funny about a fake boss who hits on all the women on the show, and one of his assistants hitting on one of the guy contestants. Don't forget paintball challenges, trying to sell re-usable toilet paper, and you got yourself a night full of laughs. Hey, I think it's funny. So should you. Watch it when it comes back on.
-I missed that "Who's Your Daddy?" show. So did most people. Here's all you need to know about it. The chick in search of her biological father, TJ Myers, was in soft porn about 10 years ago and has her own website. They've also filmed five other episodes of this, they just don't know if they're going to show them. And I'm guessing none of the people looking for their biological parent will be of the unattractive nature. That's just a guess. Shocker that the first episode they rolled out was with a ditzy blonde with fake, giant cans. Never thought that would grab people's attention.
-As for our friends over on the "Real World", I'm beginning to like this season's cast more and more. And every season they just keep getting edgier and edgier. Usually it's just drunken sex between roommates or one of them picking up some trash at a bar. Oh, they've had plenty of that this year (including Landon bringing home one of the local kennel's finest one night), but could there possibly any more guy-on-guy action this year? Geez. I mean, I'm not homophobic or anything, but for the love of god, enough already.
-Landon is gonna go down in history as one of the all-timers on this show. What a drunk. And have him and Willie Ames ever been seen in the same room together? Just checking.
-I thought Trishelle had some emotional issues back during the "Vegas" season, but looks like Sarah hit the Triple Crown this year: Was bulimic, was anorexic, and she's been raped. Quite a life. Can't imagine why they cast her for this show? Usually people like that are so emotionally stable that they just wouldn't cause enough emotional trauma for everyone in the house to be cast on a show like this. Good thing they went out on a limb this season and took a flyer on her.
-Karamo = angry black guy. They couldn't have played into this stereotype any more aside casting Ron Artest in that role.
-When does the blonde chick do anything? At what point does she off herself from the show because: a) they haven't given any cameratime to her, or b) her roommates hate her. This season's Frankie. Without the tats, the piercings, and the penchant for being a "cutter".
-Do MJ and Landon confer every morning to make sure their perms have the exact same poofiness to them?
-The "Real World" just signed a new deal with MTV to do another 5 seasons, bringing their total at the end of the contract to 20. Whoever thought they'd have 20 seasons of the "Real World"? The next one is in Austin, Tx. Austin, Texas? I mean, without repeating cities they've already done, they're gonna be scraping the bottom of the barrel to get another four seasons out of this franchise. Austin, Texas? C'mon. Was Lubbock not available? How about for Season 17, they head to beautiful Watts, California? Maybe Bismarck, North Dakota can throw their hat into the ring? Or is Bismarck, South Dakota? I always get that mixed up. Who cares? Like anyone from North or South Dakota even watches this show. Remember, MTV is cable. Hasn't reached out there yet.
-You know the one show I'm really looking forward to this season? The "Ashlee Simpson Show". She's had a hell of a last few months, huh? Hopefully the cameras caught her lip synching on Saturday Night Live. That should be fun. Did the cameras conveniently shut off when she got booed offstage at the Orange Bowl? That was brutal. And I can't put too much blame on her other than not singing great that night, but she's in a no-win situation there. Everyone was ready to boo her even if she sang her ass off. Football fans don't care about halftime shows. Never have. Never will. And especially someone who just got busted lip synching not less than two months earlier. She should never have been out there in the first place. Honestly, when was the last halftime show at any sporting event that was worth a damn? None. They all suck. But putting her out there should never have happened.
