I know I haven't written about Reality TV in a while...but I had to slow down my reality TV-watching schedule the past 2 months because I got a job. So stupid. I should never have gotten one.
So, let's talk about where all of my favorite shows stand:
America's Next Top Model------- Wednesday's 8/7 central CW
Okay so all of my predictions were wrong. I'll admit it. Victoria (the Yale student) went home. Lisa (the stripper) went home (she was my prediction for winner), and my favorite (Janet) went home as well. While it's sad that all of my favorite girls were exiled, what's EVEN MORE sad is that this show has just gotten BORING. And here's why- not enough catty bitching and fights. This season was a real letdown in the catty bitch department. I watch this show for one reason- hot bitches fighting over stupid shit that I find completely laughable. The biggest conflict in the house was that one of the contestants (Heather) suffered from Asperger's Syndrome and all of the girls were annoyed by her. And this legitimately pissed me off. It did. Because they kept calling her "weird" and "awkward" but didn't have the decency to try to comprehend that THAT IS WHAT ASPERGER'S IS! You are socially awkward and isolated. They hated it when she got extra help (like someone feeding her lines for a commercial).....but the fact of the matter is- she has a legitimate DISABILITY! Anyway- the reason that that conflict didn't satisfy me in the catty bitch department is because someone being insensitive and understanding to someone with Asperger's Syndrome actually pisses me off and gets me emotionally involved. The normal catty bitchiness delivered by ANTM is just pointless, arrogant, bickering between hot idiots. That's mindless entertainment, not something that I lose sleep over. But that thing with Heather really pissed me off. So...this season was a letdown. That said- I think Bianca is going to win. She's a bitch. And she's arrogant. And she was mean as hell to Heather. But I think she'll win. I can't say for sure though. Screw this season. I don't care anymore.
Bianca= super insensitive
And on another note- Tyra annoys me more than ever right now. I KNOW that her intentions are good. I know that she's probably a good person. But she thinks she knows EVERYTHING ABOUT EVERYTHING and she also has this amazing way of being able to make every conversation turn into something about herself or her experiences. And then she takes the opportunity to impart us with all of her "wisdom" or some adage that she created. She told one girl this season (almost word-for-word)--- You know what I do when I'm having a bad day and I need to turn it around? I do something I like to call "compartmentalizing". I just take those bad experiences and I put them in the back of my mind and and deal with them later. I put on a happy face for the moment and just do what I have to do. Later I might cry and be depressed. But for the moment I just "compartmentalize" it.
Wow, Tyra. You're such a genius. How did you ever think of that? And you NAMED IT? What a genius. I love it when people take a completely well-known thing and then they make it their own by saying "I like to call". Have you ever thought about being a psychiatrist? You should. You pretty much pretend to be one on your show, The Tyra Banks Show, already. Update! Since I started writing this Saleisha was named the winner. Boring.
I Love New York 2------ Monday's 9/8 central VH1
Okay, so this show makes me groan and laugh more than ever. Could New York BE more of a caraciture of a person than she was in the past? The answer is yes. She is not even a real human anymore. This show gives me so much joy when she says things like
Guys...I am being so sincere right now. If you doubt that I'm being geniune than you can just walk out that door"
New York- I've doubted your sincerity from the moment I saw you. You are an actress playing the role of the craziest most irrational bitch I have ever seen.
And on a similar note...could she BE more gross and skanky? On the show they always talk about how beautiful she is. Am I crazy or is New York the exact opposite of beautiful?
And what makes me most sad about the fact that New York is more disgusting and fake than ever before is that this season she has some SERIOUSLY HOT AND ACCOMPLISHED MEN on the show.
This guy, Pretty, walked out calling her a crazy bitch. I was so happy. He is beautiful. And a law student who worked for Bill Clinton. That the eff was he doing on this show? Thank god he got the hell out while he still could.
But HE'S NOT THE ONLY ONE! This guy, nickname Buddha, is an actor who has had small roles on several TV shows. He is also a life coach and model and he is also beautiful and articulate. I hope to god that he's just playing another role on this show...because if he ends up with that crazy bitch he will regret it for the rest of his life.
This guy, Punk, I don't personally find attractive, but he IS very accomplished. He graduated from Harvard Law. He is a lawyer and body-builder. He also seems VERY SINCERE when he says that he loves New York and wants to be with her. IS HE FUCKING NUTS? Plus- he's got a white momma, and when she visited the show she was VERY UNHAPPY that he was there. All I have to say is- get a prenup.
And what about this Master of Douchbaggery, Tailor-Made. He's a wealthy fashion planner. Honestly, he's the one that I think should end up with her. Why? He's rich. He loves that he's rich. He wants to shower her with riches. He wants New York to tell him what to do and wants her to own his ass. He's a complete character. They are both characters who only want someone to play off of. They are a match made in heaven. Morons.
Update! Punk was eliminated on Monday!
Beauty and the Geek------ Tuesday's 8/7 central CW
I'm glad it's over. I stated in my original Reality TV post how pissed off I was about the fact that one of the contestants was an actor (Sam Horrigan). Turns out it wasn't a twist- he was a legitimate contestant. And he made it to the final 2 teams. Pissed! But he didn't win. I was so happy when Josh and Jasmine won. So cute! Josh was the LARPER from Boston. I loved him.
I read a lot of articles about how people felt concerning actor Sam Horrigan being a contestant. He's a legitimate actor who has appeared on Desperate Housewives and several other shows recently. A lot of people felt that it was okay that he was an actor because the rules of the show don't require that the "Beauty" contestants be unintelligent- the only qualification is that they are hot. So the fact that Sam is an actor and obviously a fairly intelligent person (who can at least grasp the idea of playing a role and memorize lines and, consequently, be something he is not and play the role of a "beauty" on the show) DOESN'T MATTER because he's hot- and that's the rule of the game.
But....I don't agree. I think we all know that the insinuation on Beauty and the Geek is that "Beauty" the contestants are hot and REALLY STUPID and traditionally get by on their looks....just like the "Geeks" are very smart but not very attractive (from society's standards..not mine. Nerds are hot!). I mean- the producers would never cast a really hot nerd on the show. Because we all know that when we watch the show we want to see nerdy, socially awkward, generally unattractive "Geeks". That's the name of the game. That's the spirit of the game at least even if it isn't in the "rules."
So I remain pissed about the season. We'll see what happens next season and if I continue to watch it. Stupid Ashton Kutcher (he's a producer).
The Biggest Loser--------- 8/7 central NBC
I still love this show. I'm not going to recap it or talk about it because it's pretty boring from a "what happened on this episode?" standpoint. The exciting part is the weigh-ins and the weight that these people lose. It's amazing and I seriously sometimes tear up when I watch it. I don't know who's going to win and I don't care. Because they all pretty much win, don't they?
Ugh. I love Biggest Loser. I can't wait for the finale! I think it's next episode? Not sure. I hope so though.
The Real World- Sydney---------10/9 central MTV
Wow. What a crazy season. So many things have happened since I last blogged. First of all- Shavon...the girl with huge boobs and a "journalism career" in California WENT HOME. Her ex-boyfriend gave her an ultimatum- come home and we can be together or stay there and there's not chance. She left. Nuts. Can I say though that I would have made the same choice? I mean...what means more to you- the person that you could spend the rest of your life with or a stupid reality show? The choice is obvious to me. Cameron disagrees. He thinks the guy was being controlling. Whatever. We agree to disagree.
Anyway- the most AWESOME thing that happened this season is that the Christian hypocrite Trisha (remember her?) physically assaulted a cast member, said some really cold-hearted shit afterwards, and was sent home. Hmmm... that doesn't seem very Christian does it? A Christian acting like a huge hypocrite? Weird!
But on a happier note...the more I watch the show the more I want to hang out with Isaac. How cool is that fucking guy? I want him to be my best friend. I really do.
Isaac- I want to party with you!
So, now that Trisha is gone...the season is actually starting to be interesting. Dunbar cheated on his girlfriend back at home with the new roommate, Ashley. So that's...par for the course on Real World I suppose. Cohutta thought he got Kelly Anne pregnant last episode. Basically- everyone is getting laid by someone in the house...except Parisa. That poor girl. At least she can leave knowing that she didn't act skanky I guess.
Kid Nation--- Wednesdays 8/7 central CBS
The finale was this Wednesday...and it was so adorable! These kids were so adorable, and while most of the shows I watch just make me feel a little disgusted about the world and the shape it's in- Kid Nation makes me feel all snuggly inside. They gave $50,000 away to 3 kids at the finale...and it was pretty heart-wrenching. I loved it. If they have a second season of this show I will definitely be watching...
Project Runway---- Wednesdays 10/9 central Bravo
So glad this show is back! It's more awesome than ever. The craziest thing about this season is that it began with 7 guys...and only one of them was straight. I know what you're thinking- "it's fashion design...aren't they all gay?" The answer is no! Last season's winner- Jeffrey- was as straight as an arrow. And really good. But, personally, I think that the gay makes you a little better. So I think this season has potential to be really good. I am picking my choice for winner- Rami.
Rami. He's good. Really good.
And who gets my vote for most gay? Christian. Christian is more feminine than any girl I have ever met in my life. That's saying a lot I think. He's adorable...but bizarre to listen to and watch because you don't feel like you're watching a gay man...you feel like you're watching a girl. He's good too. He's only 19. And he's super-arrogant. It's that extra gay that put him a cut above the rest!
Christian = the fiercest bitch ever!
Intervention----- 9/8 central A&E
That's right babies- my favorite show is back! If you're not a watcher, you must start immediately. You know what this show makes me think? It makes me realize that when I teach my kids about drugs I'm NOT going to say
Don't do drugs. They are bad.
I'm going to say:
Don't do drugs...because they are SO GOOD. So good, in fact, that they will make you give up your friends, family, job, assets, and life. So don't even try them once because you will just want to get that amazing feeling again...and it will consume your life.
Anyway- the show doesn't only deal with interventions regarding drugs. It deals with alcohol, and eating disorders too. It's an intriguing show. Truly is. Watch it. The season just started.
That's it. TV is evil and consumes my free time.
Hugs.
