sorabji.com: Are there any news?: joe millionaire
THIS IS A READ-ONLY ARCHIVE FROM THE SORABJI.COM MESSAGE BOARDS (1995-2016).

By Nate on Wednesday, January 29, 2003 - 07:25 pm:

    i love this shit.

    (yes, i watch joe millionaire. it validates my misogynistic world view. plus, all those chicks have great racks.)


By sarah on Wednesday, January 29, 2003 - 09:37 pm:

    that show is ethically fucked up. those women are
    being LIED to!




By Nate on Wednesday, January 29, 2003 - 09:50 pm:

    so? women should get used to being lied to.


By moonit on Wednesday, January 29, 2003 - 10:42 pm:

    I love celebrity Fear Factor.

    Last night, was Greg from the Brady Bunch (think it was Greg - so cheerful and focussed), Penn and Teller, some chick from baywatch and Rudy from the Cosby Show.

    Swimming with snakes.
    yeah

    I swear I saw Penn and Teller walking the streets of Christchurch a couple of weeks ago, but then again I could of sworn Colin Mochary worked in my building, but its just a lookalike. poor guy.

    I watch the show because it is ethically fucked up. I mean, how stupid are these women going to be? They are all playing catty games and fighting for money that isn't there, not for the guy but for his money. I hope that in the end when he says he's only making $19,000 a year they bitch him out for lying and walk out.

    I also love that this guy is having a show to find the right woman who will want him even though he is broke and then freaks out if the girls poem mentions the words husband or wife. The words "I choose you" seem to be too much for him and that is funny. I guess he is looking for the right woman who will fall for him even though he makes jack shit and then will want a shallow meaningless relationship of just a one nighter after all of that. That's just funny.


By Nate on Thursday, January 30, 2003 - 11:48 am:

    what i want to know is how a construction worker in LA is making $19K. that's like $9.50/hr- he should be making at least $15, unless he's shoveling dirt all day or something.


By Spider on Thursday, January 30, 2003 - 11:49 am:

    I'm pissed that Fox cancelled the excellent "Firefly" for this shite.


By sarah on Thursday, January 30, 2003 - 11:54 am:


    what is Rudy from the Cosby Show doing these days? how old is she now? she was so cute.




By patrick on Thursday, January 30, 2003 - 12:17 pm:

    you guys are all missing the point about that millionaire shit.

    yes those girls look stupid.

    yes that dude comes off like a total schmuck.

    its not about the show.

    its about press, the notority, the possible playboy spread and acting gig that comes afterwards.

    the dope gay guy from survivor a few years ago, the lady who did the marry a million show, divorced, sued or something like that and got a playbor spread?

    the show is the monkey part, its everything to come that makes it worth while.


    its entertainment. they are all actor wannabe's. the show has nothing to do with marriage.


By semillama on Thursday, January 30, 2003 - 01:13 pm:

    They should stop calling them reality shows and start calling them "humiliation shows" because that's what they are all about.


By patrick on Thursday, January 30, 2003 - 01:16 pm:

    those shows simply prove that everyone has a price.

    i think they should be called "how much does it take?" shows because you ultimately learn everyone's price for the humiliation.


By Spider on Thursday, January 30, 2003 - 01:26 pm:

    Last night, I watched American Idol for the first time. I am so glad I missed the initial auditions -- I would have writhed in discomfort. I had to change the channel a few times last night so I couldn't see people get scolded in front of millions. (True, they were idiots and needed to be dressed down, but it was still painful to watch.)

    If there's one thing I can't watch, it's people getting humiliated or embarrassed. I squirm so!


By moonit on Thursday, January 30, 2003 - 03:45 pm:

    Oh yeah, sunday night, american idol - and we're watching it not far behind you guys. Secretly I think the Pandry wishes he could be as nasty as Simon.

    Sarah - Rudy is TINY, and really cute. and she kicked all the others asses. YAY


By semillama on Thursday, January 30, 2003 - 04:08 pm:

    The only one I watched was Tough enough. I like it because if you don't like someone, you get to see them work there ass off and get thrown around and yelled at.

    I also highly enjoyed "Celebrity Bootcamp" and think that needs to be a regular series.


By patrick on Thursday, January 30, 2003 - 04:43 pm:

    i dont know how any of you can watch that shit.

    but then again i have a shit load of channels and can usually find something a little more "intelligent".


By moonit on Thursday, January 30, 2003 - 05:02 pm:

    If you don't have cable in NZ you have access to three, possibly five channels.




By patrick on Thursday, January 30, 2003 - 05:05 pm:

    its pretty much the same here.

    i have direct tv, they put one those satellite thingys on your roof, calibrate it and bingo.

    10x better than cable.


By agatha on Thursday, January 30, 2003 - 07:17 pm:

    shit, why would you watch tv for intelligence? you are totally fooling yourself.

    i've already picked out my favorites on american idol. dave makes fun of how interactive i make the "watching reality television" experience. i limit my humiliation to survivor, american idol, and my new favorite, the surreal life! cory feldman is so annoying!


By patrick on Thursday, January 30, 2003 - 07:26 pm:

    i dont watch it for "intelligence" but i don't understand how you could watch those shows and not feel pathetic. i do.

    i suppose, since angry sam produces that shit, and i hear his perspective on reality shows all the time, im cynical about them and find the banality revolting.

    i admit to digging the Osbornes, but its fucking Ozzy for christ sakes.




By J on Thursday, January 30, 2003 - 07:28 pm:

    No shit,and he wants to get married on the show,what a has been won't do for attention.


By J on Thursday, January 30, 2003 - 07:29 pm:

    To Agatha's post.


By moonit on Thursday, January 30, 2003 - 08:27 pm:

    Back in the 80s, I lusted after the Coreys.

    Now I aim for the Diesel.


By wisper on Thursday, January 30, 2003 - 08:39 pm:

    Frenchy has to win American Idol.
    HAS to.
    She's amazing in every way.

    I can't believe those idiots who couldn't learn a song in 12 hours. How long does it take? I can memorize a song in 10 minutes, sing it in key and never forget it. And i'm not the one on tv. AND it wasn't a new song, it was a damn hit song by Seal. WTF.
    Go Frenchy!

    Tough Enough is the shiznit! Wasn't it sad when that dickass Holly beat the shit out of Matt? He's such a good guy. I look forward to watching him and his work, he's a talent.

    I find the Ozzy's so fucking boring. It's not their fault, it's the editing. The editing is terrible. It's a frustrating mess. There's never a point or a plot, just a half hour of meaningless clips, without explination. Like they think JUST the family will make it fun to watch... well, no. No one's family is like that. It takes *good editing* to make something like that work.
    Like if they're standing in the living room talking to some guy, who IS that guy? why is he there? Follow HIM! Tell a story! Don't just cut to the dogs shitting on the rug again and then suddenly it's 3 days later.

    PLOT! EDITING! IMPORTANT!


    Patrick, don't you understand the idea of 'so-bad-it's-good' ?
    tv is full of shit. But to be the WORST shit, now that's a triumph.


By J on Friday, January 31, 2003 - 11:20 am:

    Joe Millionaire will probably pick the bondage porn gal he porked in the bushes.Spider sometimes for people like Simon you just have to be cruel to be kind.Some of these people must be out of their minds if they think they can sing.


By patrick on Friday, January 31, 2003 - 11:31 am:

    i still feel pathetic watching other pathetic people.

    like i said, with the osbornes, i can at least justify its one of the creators of some the most bad ass rock and roll in the last 30 years.

    the plethora of pets in the Osborne house is enough for me. did you see the episode where the one of the dogs was humping one of the cats? any episodes that center around jack or that brat of a daughter are of no interest. its all about ozzy and his pets.


By eri on Friday, January 31, 2003 - 11:39 am:

    I don't know if Joe will pick the bondage chick or the "Melissa" who he thinks is so sexy, though she is a huge primadonna and major drama queen.

    I love Simon. Everyone bashes him, but I keep thinking, hey, these kids are competing for A RECORDING CONTRACT and all of the fame and crap that goes with it, and half of them can't sing for shit! Cruel to be kind, but some of these kids really need to get a grip if they think they have what it takes to become famous.

    I can't get over how many of them couldn't get the lyrics to the songs down. I mean, I knew them all and as they were screwing it up I was in the living room singing the correct lyrics and yelling at them to get their shit together. I loved it when all of the chicks screwed up "Don't cry outloud" by Melissa Manchester. I grew up listening to those kinds of songs and still know all of the lyrics by heart. I also thought it was funny that no one else wanted to sing with Frenchie and the other girl. They're too powerful and big, hah. Those are the people that I LOVE to sing with, because they bring that out in me. I sing with them and won't be out done by them. It's a challenge that I love.

    Too bad I am too old. I don't know how to sing for shit, but it would have been fun, at least I could have performed most of those songs!

    Those are the only two I like to watch, though, because the rest just bore me. The Osbornes bore me, which is surprising since it is Ozzy and all, but the show itself is boring.


By Spider on Friday, January 31, 2003 - 12:03 pm:

    I think Simon's kinda hot. I also think the other judge, Randy, is much crueler to the kids -- he mimics them and snickers. Ugh. If you think someone sucks, just say, "You suck. Get out." Don't act like a 12-year-old bully.

    I don't get why those 3 morons went out partying the night before the audition. Why do you put so much effort into something and then screw up *on purpose* before it pays off? It's not like they have some angsty self-defeating fear of success going on, either -- they were just idiots.

    I liked Kimberly something's voice -- the one who was a brat to that Julia girl. Her voice has a tough, smoky, hard quality that I find very appealing.


By eri on Friday, January 31, 2003 - 12:59 pm:

    She is one of my favorites, too. I have thought so ever since they showed her first audition in the ads for the new season. She's bitchy and shallow, but who cares. This isn't a contest to see who would make the nicest new best friend.

    Those guys going out partying was stupid as hell. I can't believe the one guy made it to the next round. He sucked. He is just a Justin Guarini wannabe as far as I am concerned and I never liked Justin to begin with. I hope he doesn't make it to the final 10.

    I thought Randy was much more cruel this season, playing all nice last season to make Simon look like a dick. Now he laughs and sniggers and tells people they suck just as often as Simon and he doesn't give them pointers on how to improve. He was less likely to let people through to the next round than Simon which I found off. Paula is still kissing everyone's butt, trying to tell them all how wonderful they all are even though "the bar was raised" and they just weren't good enough. That drives me nuts. If I was competing for something that big I wouldn't want someone telling me how wonderful I am and then shipping my ass off.


By Joe on Friday, February 7, 2003 - 02:39 am:

    i don't know guys, i think "millionaire" feeds into the worst in all of us. some network "genius" figured out that the show would be watched by women who dream of meeting a man with unlimited resources and men who despise those women. that "genius" also knew that the show would attract women who were offended by the lie and men who wish that they could offer everything to a beautiful woman. everybody ends up wishing for honesty. fucking duh!!!


By loserkazoo on Monday, February 10, 2003 - 09:30 pm:

    it's a clip show dammit.

    bah...what a dork I am. I have about 7 channels; if I had more I'd just watch more crap. Before I was in school I used to watch documentaries, news specials...all kinds of smarty-pants crap...not so much anymore.

    "I had to change the channel a few times last night so I couldn't see people get scolded in front of millions."

    Hah! Spider that's so cute. I do the same thing except sometimes I changed it during the singing and went back for the scolding. I love Simon. I can't help it. If you watch long enough, you start to feel his pain.


By eri on Monday, February 10, 2003 - 09:37 pm:

    Yep, this show is getting boring. I wanna say get on with it already.

    I love Simon, I felt his pain in the very beginning. It isn't like these kids are competing for fucking brownie points, but a recording contract under a major record label and an all but guaranteed hit. Deal with the criticism, the low blows, you need to hear them to grow into the superstar you are almost guaranteed to be.


By eri on Monday, February 10, 2003 - 10:36 pm:

    That was a wasted hour of my life I will never have back again!


By moonit on Tuesday, February 11, 2003 - 01:56 pm:

    I can't believe america voted for that Julia chick. Kimberly was much better.


By eri on Tuesday, February 11, 2003 - 02:13 pm:

    I didn't vote for Julia. I didn't. I actually called and voted over and over again for Kimberly. I have a feeling she is going to get one of the wild card spots, though. I believe (though I could be wrong) that the judges pick the wild card entrys, or narrow it down to three and two out of the three get it or something like that.

    I want to see Frenchie compete. I hope she makes the top 10. She has a powerful voice, but she also knows how to control it. I hope she does well.


By moonit on Tuesday, February 11, 2003 - 03:12 pm:

    Frenchie rocks!


By eri on Tuesday, February 11, 2003 - 03:57 pm:

    I just hope the idiots voting don't go for "beauty" over "talent" because she rocks but she isn't a waif thin barbie doll. I think that is just another reason why I like her. The "American Idol" should be something real and not necessarily a magaizine cover.


By Alex on Tuesday, February 11, 2003 - 05:58 pm:

    woo! cowell rocks! We very much enjoyed his slatings of the contestans lax attitudes in a recent show over here. It seems that from a foreign point of view he he far easier to tollerate than he was when watching him rip the UK contestants to shreds! Strange, its almost like the cases you hear in the news of say for instance a mine collapse in china where 50 people were killed and people kindof juts say 'oh dear' and dismiss it, whereas something closer to home ocurrs and its the end of the world.
    Wow i9 havnt been here in almost a year, its good to see you are all still around, i hope you are all happy and well.


By wisper on Tuesday, February 11, 2003 - 06:38 pm:

    Kimberly = bar trash. I'm glad to see her go.
    Strange thing is, she sang the same song that last year's nasty bar trash girl sang, Nikki. Bar trash loves Melissa Etheridge!

    Didja see Nikki on that "Where are they Now" thing? How can these poor kids sit there and tearfully say that American Idol changed their life when they're running their own Karaoke company in ButtFuck Nowhere. Aim high, girl.

    Frenchie Frenchie Frenchie!!!

    I also want to see that rocker guy sing. I feel bad for him, in that he's never going to win, but he made it this far and no one will vote for him. 12 year old girls hate long hair skid boys. I know because i love one. But goddamn, those all-over print Wolverine dress shirts HAVE to GO.
    I call him D & D. "Go D&D! Sing for me D&D!"





    p.s- Frenchie!


By eri on Tuesday, February 11, 2003 - 07:22 pm:

    I liked the rocker guy too. I thought his group gave him the short end of the stick. Not only does he have a great look, but he also wants to WORK hard. You don't see that too often.

    Frenchie rocks.


By moonit on Tuesday, February 11, 2003 - 09:35 pm:

    I like the rocker guy too.

    Is he in the third group with Frenchie?


By eri on Tuesday, February 11, 2003 - 10:07 pm:

    I dunno. They will show it tomorrow night, who is in the next group. Tonights show was dissapointing.


By moonit on Tuesday, February 11, 2003 - 10:39 pm:

    Dammit where are you up to?
    On Tuesday I saw Julia and some dude get into the 10.

    Are you like a week ahead?


By sarah on Wednesday, February 12, 2003 - 09:12 am:

    Frenchie? who is Frenchie? what the hell are you two talking about? i feel so pop culture challenged right now.



By kazoo on Wednesday, February 12, 2003 - 09:22 am:

    Frenchie! She's the only one whose name I remember which goes to show you how kick ass she is. I haven't watched the show in weeks.

    Frenchie is a large black woman with an incredibly powerful voice. She kind of reminded me of Toshi Regan although their styles are completely different.


By Spider on Wednesday, February 12, 2003 - 09:34 am:


By agatha on Wednesday, February 12, 2003 - 10:18 am:

    NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

    who the fuck cares if she worked for a porno site? porno queens can't be american idols? i call bullshit on that.


By patrick on Wednesday, February 12, 2003 - 11:50 am:

    you should all be ashamed.


    don't feel bad sarah. im with you.


By eri on Wednesday, February 12, 2003 - 11:55 am:

    That just fucking sucks. She was the only one there who I really enjoyed just listening to her sing. Damn. That just fucked up the whole season.

    Last night (Tuesday night) they had the next round and tonight we see the results. I have to say that I really wasn't impressed by any of them. I was hoping that the tiny little brunette chick was going to pull out something bluesy and ballsy, but in the end it was just crap. I was hoping she was going to get all Fiona Apple up there but she wussed out.

    I got a feeling that tonights show is just going to be dissapointing because none of them were all that great.

    GODDAMN IT. Everyone knows about Frenchie now, so why don't they let AMERICA VOTE and see if she is still American Idol material?


By Spider on Wednesday, February 12, 2003 - 11:58 am:

    Patrickk, you're beginning to sound a little like this guy.


By patrick on Wednesday, February 12, 2003 - 12:46 pm:

    mmmmmmmmmkay spider. (im rolling my eyes now, just so you know)


By Spider on Wednesday, February 12, 2003 - 01:10 pm:

    (I'm laughing at you, just so you know.)


By patrick on Wednesday, February 12, 2003 - 01:16 pm:

    (im doing a combo rolling of the eyes and laughing at you. if we were sitting at coffeshop and this converstaion was happening, id leaving thinking you all pathetic. of course i know you arent pathetic, so im compelled to ask how such smarty pants people can fall for such ridiculousness. i mean its not even ridiculous in a good way. just plain bad. )


By Spider on Wednesday, February 12, 2003 - 01:52 pm:

    Oh, come on, what kind of scathing indictment was that? You didn't even use the word "plebeian."


By eri on Wednesday, February 12, 2003 - 04:07 pm:

    I realize that I probably don't fall under the "smarty pants" category, but I do have to say that sometimes I enjoy entertainment just for that factor and the fact that it requires no brain power. I spend all day cleaning up after my piggy family and taking care of my hellion of a 3 year old (she is so much harder than Hayley was) and helping Hayley with homework and prepping her for the state tests, and cooking, and although to most people it sounds like easy stuff, it is a 24/7 job that NEVER ENDS and when everyone else gets a vacation that just means more work for me. Thing is that at the end of the day all I want is to veg out watching something completely useless and have a drink. OK I would like to go out occasionally and have a night off, but I don't have any friends here to do that with right now, so I will be content with idiotic television and a few beers. At the end of the day, I don't want to think, or plan or worry or watch the news or anything that requires me to think in any way. I just want to veg and fall asleep.


By wisper on Wednesday, February 12, 2003 - 06:04 pm:

    Frenchie... oh no. Her highschool raised the money for her to get to the audition and everything. Shit, that's sad.
    But now that she's out there, i'm sure someone will sign her for something. She was amazing.
    They made her leave because of porn? As if the whole fucking show isn't filled with whores anyway? Like sneaking the Ford logo into every spare crack, and how even the damn couches they sit on backstage are shaped like the Coke 'swoosh'? That's sick. Worse than porn.

    Anyway.

    That chick who sang 'Don't you wanna dance' was so bad it was funny.
    And i actually tried to vote this week. Sad, huh? And you know what else? I CAN'T. I'm outside of the calling range, the bastards.
    I guess they want us to save our enthusiasm for Canadian Idol

    Dare me to try out?


By eri on Wednesday, February 12, 2003 - 06:37 pm:

    I dare you. I would have done it, just to see if I could get on one of the blooper things or something, but I can't cuz I'm too old :(

    The phone lines were dead when I went to vote last night. Too bad they wouldn't let you through.


By trace on Wednesday, February 12, 2003 - 07:03 pm:

    I always thought Patrick worked for Salon, but the Onion is not a far cry....

    Get it. Onion. Cry?

    GET IT???


By wisper on Thursday, February 13, 2003 - 06:22 pm:

    i wanted to vote for that Tim guy, the real nerdly dude with the unreal voice.
    Alas, it was not to be.



    ha ha trace.
    ha ha


By trace on Thursday, February 13, 2003 - 07:16 pm:

    Trying to lighten up a little, and look what it gets me...


By agatha on Thursday, February 13, 2003 - 07:17 pm:

    Amen on the Frenchie tip, Wisper. I hope a bunch of angry feminists make a big stink about that.

    I liked the geeky guy from this week, even though he over enunciated his words. Dave said he reminded him of Paul Weller, and I thought that was a spot-on assessment.

    I liked Reuben too, and Kimberly, and the cute girl that sang Janice Joplin. If Kimberly sings "Over the Rainbow" again, I'm gonna freak.

    I'm psyched for the new wave girl next week. Go, new wave girl, go!


By dave. on Thursday, February 13, 2003 - 09:05 pm:

    the cute girl, candace.

    oh, golly.


By eri on Friday, February 14, 2003 - 12:09 pm:

    I was reading something and they compared Tim (the geeky guy) to Rick Astley. I thought that was funny. We voted for him like 20 times but I guess it just wasn't enough.

    I didn't want to hear "Over the Rainbow" again. I thought she did well, but then when she started going off on Simon (he did it on purpose to try to bring out some personality on her) I thought she went way overboard and I kinda lost respect for her.

    I am curious to see who really competes next week. So far no one I have voted for has made it to the top ten.


By moonit on Sunday, February 16, 2003 - 02:56 pm:

    Last night I dreamt I was in the Top ten. My audition meant I had to slide on this flying fox, while singing. A co-worker was helping me decide what to wear (leopard print pants???). A friend of mine Kris was up next. She changed to words of her song into some angry rant, abusing the judges.

    Weird

    thats scary. dreaming about joe millionaire? yikes!


By sarah on Monday, February 17, 2003 - 10:16 am:


    i saw his photo in the newspaper this morning. he's actually a fairly attractive guy. he kinda reminds me of Peter Gallagher, the actor.




By agatha on Monday, February 17, 2003 - 12:53 pm:

    bleach. NOT fine.

By eri on Monday, February 17, 2003 - 04:40 pm:

    EEWWWWW, is all I have to say about Evan (Joe Millionaire). One of those things where if I went to France to meet the "man of my dreams" I would have left. UGH.


By sarah on Monday, February 17, 2003 - 04:56 pm:


    so i heard a trailer on the radio here this afternoon. apparently whichever one he chooses, she's got a big fat lie of her own to confess...




By sarah on Monday, February 17, 2003 - 04:57 pm:


    fuck, listen to me. i haven't even seen the goddamn show.

    OK so he picked Zora, the substitute teacher who wanted to pawn her jewelery to help pay for the health care of a middle eastern man with cancer.

    She thought about it and went back to him telling him she was upset about the lie but basically liked him as a person and was completely turned off by the money so she was in a way happy about the lie. She decided to give it a go. Then he busted out this diamond engagemant band and said he wanted to show his committment and placed it on her right hand. Yeah, that shows committment. Anyways, it was a fairy tale ending and the twist was that Fox had plotted and decided to give the couple a check for one million dollars.

    Next?


By J on Tuesday, February 18, 2003 - 12:51 am:

    I'm glad it was Zorra,I don't think he's too bright but I'd buy that for a dollar.


By Nate on Tuesday, February 18, 2003 - 01:26 am:

    crap.

    we have plans.


By sarah on Tuesday, February 18, 2003 - 10:34 am:

    that's how it ended?

    they actually like each other?

    and they get the money?

    no law suits? no throwing of punches or broken vases? no secrets involving transsexuality or butt plug fetishes?

    what a fucking let-down.




By kazoo on Tuesday, February 18, 2003 - 10:37 am:

    as soon as paul came out with the tray, I knew what it was. yes, boring. well next week is the "aftermath" episode where we get the tell-all interviews. no more Fox vice for me...thank goodness march madness is coming up, I can't take anymore of this tee-vee ca ca.



    christ i'm tired


By sarah on Tuesday, February 18, 2003 - 10:41 am:



    and her name is ZORRA?? jesus h on a popsicle stick.




By J on Tuesday, February 18, 2003 - 10:52 am:

    I was thinking about this the other day,they sack Frenchie because of her being on a porn website,but on the first Idol it came out that Nikki McKibbin was a stripper and she ended up in the top 3,go figure.


By eri on Tuesday, February 18, 2003 - 01:58 pm:

    I never heard that Nikki McKibbin was a stripper. Is that how she can afford her own Karaoke bar now? Ugh.

    Well if they let a stripper stay in the show but are booting Frenchie, that's just fucked up! At least Frenchie has talent. She could easily make the top 3 if not win. Damned Fox. Ugh.

    I am almost afraid to watch the Joe Millionaire next week. I mean, this ending was sweet but a major let down. I wanted some chick to just deck him for his lie and tell him to fuck off. I am afraid that next week they will be all lovey dovey and shit and will have used the money for humanitarian efforts and will be living in a one room shack together planning their wedding in the forest among the birds and horses.


By wisper on Tuesday, February 18, 2003 - 05:52 pm:

    does rocker dude go on Idol tonight?
    i hope so.
    I'll miss him.



    sem: "Did I mention they're BISEXUAL Lesbians?"
    -Eric Bischoff, addressing Vince McMahon

    That part was so dumb sem! :) Wow did i laugh. And i think i'm the only one on earth who thinks Stone Cold shouldn't be allowed his job back. It really pisses me off. He beat his wife and co-worker for real, goddamnit.

    (not that i haden't thought of beating Debra a few times, myself....)


    anyway....bring on the crappy singers tonight! woo-hoo D&D!!


By Rowlf on Tuesday, February 18, 2003 - 07:43 pm:

    When Stone Cold comes back Ric Flair still owes him 30 days as his personal assistant.

    Fuck 1441, we must uphold our pro wrestling stipulations!


By eri on Wednesday, February 19, 2003 - 11:59 am:

    Last night American Idol was dissapointing. I didn't like any of them. Not a one. I mean, they didn't suck, but I was looking for one singer to just WOW me. Didn't happen. No one this season so far has. Ugh.

    I had this dream that only 500 people voted last night and the show was saying that if it kept up this bad this would definately be the last season for the show.


By Rowlf on Wednesday, February 19, 2003 - 04:56 pm:

    they all blew chunks


By wisper on Wednesday, February 19, 2003 - 05:45 pm:

    yeah, group 3 sucked balls. And the guy who went last and sang 'Unchained Melody' was SCARY AS HELL and looked like a troll.

    Even the pink haired chick was just okay, but cute as a button. And she sang Queen at her audition, and that'll win my heart any day.


    why can't i vote *sob*


By agatha on Wednesday, February 19, 2003 - 09:44 pm:

    I liked pink haired chick. I thought it was cool that she chose that song from "Fame", and she sold me from the start when she sang Queen and actually rocked it. She does look like Bette Midler. The guy that says "Hercules" was okay, too. Also, the chick that auditioned on crutches, although she had a strange body movement thing going on while she sang. Pretty incredibly mediocre all round though, I agree.


By agatha on Wednesday, February 19, 2003 - 09:45 pm:

    Dave was calling the unchained melody dude Jughead. Heh.


By eri on Wednesday, February 19, 2003 - 10:19 pm:

    Rocker guy is on next week. They showed the line up with no Frenchie in it and I am not sure who replaced her. Ugh. I hope rocker dude does well, though.

    Does anyone know how the wild card show works? Do they just draw people out of a hat, do the judges pick their favorites, or do they pick the 8 who made it into the top 3 and not into the top 10 and have them compete?

    Just curious, though I thought the last example made the most sense. I have a feeling that the best group will end up being the wild card group.

    I was really dissapointed in the plug they put in for Kelly Clarkson, and Justin Guarini (spunky calls him pubes because of his hair), and their upcoming movie.


By J on Thursday, February 20, 2003 - 01:14 am:

    Pubes,Spunky your a trip:) I see they spared no money making that video,I hope you feel my sarcasam.I called in 3 times for George just cause I felt sorry for him,there is still lots of time.


By Joe on Thursday, February 20, 2003 - 02:46 am:

    isn't it perfect? the woman dislikes the lie but accepts "joe". then, the network gives them a million dollars anyway. everyone (i.e. the viewers) is satisfied, AND,...it costs less than producing any other type of show. bravo! now, the next reality show will involve the marriage of two people who know nothing about each other, just to see how it "works out". let's hear it for our opinion of marriage.


By sarah on Thursday, February 20, 2003 - 09:49 am:


    the women from finance in the kitchen this morning were talking about the bachelorette. apparently she chose the fireman. i have no idea what the significance is of her decision, i've never seen the show. i only hope she had the sense to chose the best-looking one... they all turn out to be assholes eventually, you might as well take one that's easy on the eyes.



By eri on Thursday, February 20, 2003 - 02:03 pm:

    "everyone (i.e. the viewers) is satisfied"

    Who the hell said we were satisfied. I thought I said it was cute but really dissapointing. It was cheesy and I wished that she would have decked him. The viewers went away unhappy with the fairy tale bullshit ending of the show. Ugh.


By Joe on Saturday, February 22, 2003 - 01:59 am:

    c'mon eri, do you think the networks consider anyone like you or the others who post around here? i was talking about the "average" viewer who buys into all this bullshit.

    gee, sarah, i hope you meet someone who proves you wrong. i think the right guy is out there.


By The Watcher on Monday, February 24, 2003 - 12:39 pm:

    Speaking of Bulls***, did anyone else see the recent addition of Penn and Teller's Bulls*** on Showtime.

    I loved it.


By Joe on Wednesday, February 26, 2003 - 01:21 am:

    and now, the latest reality show will feature a man and a woman who don't know each other and get MARRIED just to see how they get along. so, we have decided as a society (forget about religious implications) that marriage is so meaningless that we can lampoon it in this way. i think it's sick. the usa will go down the toilet just like the greeks, the romans and every other major culture. history has proven this. jay leno earns a fortune proving this every time he airs a "jay walking" segment on the tonight show. the average person on the street does not know the month in which we celebrate the 4th of july. they complete the phrase, "do not fire until,...", with, "i say so". we have become stupid and arrogant. it's a bad combination.


By sarah on Wednesday, February 26, 2003 - 12:16 pm:


    i can't wait for the next reality tv show:

    Who Wants To Marry A Million Dollars


    where a bunch of women compete to marry the actual money itself.




By Nate on Wednesday, February 26, 2003 - 12:24 pm:

    i want to do one where you lock a guy in a department store and put LSD in his water and fuck with his mind the whole time. feed on his fears. call it "bad trip".

    i mean, next time i do it i want to film it.


By eri on Wednesday, February 26, 2003 - 12:47 pm:

    "i mean, next time i do it i want to film it."

    LOL

    So we watched American Idol again last night and again were dissapointed by the people performing for the most part. Frenchie is definately gone and they didn't even mention it. One girl cried cuz she says she gets tired of hearing that she is beautiful but doesn't have the talent. Any bets as to whether or not the military guy walks home with the recording contract? I wonder if they aren't going to push for him to win based on the fact that he is "defending" our country. Not to say he sucked, cuz he didn't. Patrick (rocker guy) was kinda dissapointing. Good song but he just did OK with it. I was hoping he would rock their socks off and prove that a rocker can have the place as an american idol.


By wisper on Wednesday, February 26, 2003 - 06:39 pm:

    group 4 sucked even worse than group 3, and i didn't think that was possible.
    What was with American Idol Barbie? High enough for ya? Then that host guy tried to comfort her whilst staring at her boobs.... poor kid.

    Man did they suck. Even ma boy Patrick blew ass. Sure i was cheering n all but that was so 80's power ballad.
    Okay, it ruled, but it sucked at the same time. Then he made that speach about Simon not having 'rock' in his heart.... oh, mercy.
    Why didn't he sing "Stairway to Heaven"?!

    That guy in the Marines scared me. His face does this crazy Joker thing when he opens his mouth far. He blew too.


    My prediction: Ruben sings the other 9's asses off, then kills and eats them on live tv.


By Dougie on Wednesday, February 26, 2003 - 06:46 pm:

    I caught the end recap -- not a single one of them could sing in tune. All the melismas in the world can't disguise the fact that one can't sing in tune. Then I watched 24. Jesus, what a fucking tease of a show.


By eri on Wednesday, February 26, 2003 - 09:14 pm:

    They are bringing bar trash (Kimberly) and nerd boy (Troy) back for the wild card show. Also two of the losers from this show and one from the first show. The rest are people who didn't make it to perform in the top 32. We'll see.

    Right now I am disgruntled with the whole thing because there isn't anyone I really feel like rooting for. No one just knocks my socks off. No one makes me want to get up and sing along because they do so well. They make me want to sing along to prove that they suck and even I can do as well as they do.

    Here's hoping the wild card show doesn't suck this bad, cuz so far they all sucked! Only a few could I say were better than OK and then I don't know if I even like them. I mean, would I buy a CD that this person did? Would I even download their music?

    Too bad the age limit is 24, I could have made it to the top 10!


By Joe on Wednesday, March 5, 2003 - 01:04 am:

    nate, your idea is excellent because the thing to do now is to make fun of men because it's politically incorrect to make fun of anyone or anything else. think about it, there are a lot of commercials that lampoon men.


By semillama on Wednesday, March 5, 2003 - 09:02 am:

    Take it like a man, then.


By wisper on Wednesday, March 5, 2003 - 06:17 pm:

    see, for Canadian Idol they raised the age to 26.
    thanks for the confidence, boys!

    man, the wild card show was SCARY bad! Except for good ol' Clay, and the black chick at the end. She's only using one name, so i forget it.
    Last year a white chick won, and i guarantee that won't happen this time. Definetly not going to be a white girl.
    Although chances are still good that it will be a girl. Because people just naturally like girls singing, and when a guy can sing well, it's kinda creepy. know what i mean?
    So i think people will naturally vote for girls over guys when it comes to singing. If it's a guy, it'll be Ruben for sure. The girls are anyone's guess.


By agatha on Wednesday, March 5, 2003 - 07:16 pm:

    that last chick had some strong transvestite energy, no?

    i love clay. i almost voted for him last night, but i was too tired. he made fun of his own ears!


By wisper on Wednesday, March 5, 2003 - 07:24 pm:

    "strong transvestite energy"

    shit.... that explains my rooting for her then.


By agatha on Wednesday, March 5, 2003 - 07:25 pm:

    wisper, i beg of you to continue on with the reviews. i laughed out loud when you said that guy made a joker face, and also when you called them all whores.

    clay rocked the elton, though, we all must admit at least this.


By agatha on Wednesday, March 5, 2003 - 07:26 pm:

    also, d&d. funny!

    i yell at the tv, too. it drives dave nuts.


By agatha on Wednesday, March 5, 2003 - 09:10 pm:

    okay, i killed the thread with my american idol enthusiasm.

    geek-o-rama.


By eri on Wednesday, March 5, 2003 - 10:21 pm:

    Clay made it to the top 12, so I will continue watching.

    Did anyone watch "Married by America"? That was the worst crap I have seen yet. I just had to vote for the biggest loser!


By Joe on Thursday, March 6, 2003 - 02:18 am:

    agatha, i love to yell at the tv. too bad it does NO good at all, but it's still fun. "married by america" saddens me. i don't understand why marriage has to be degraded like this. marriage is supposed to be a choice made by two people, not by a committee. now, we are declaring (by proxy on the damn tv) that marriage is fair game because so many of them fail. well,...is that because marriage itself is wrong or because people make bad decisions? god forbid we should question or own choices. better to fault the institution than admit that we might be fallible.


By semillama on Thursday, March 6, 2003 - 09:28 am:

    Marriage isn't supposed to be anyone thing. Look outside the Western culture box and you'll find all sorts of neat examples of marriages - some good, some kind of frightening. Married by America just seems to be a 21st century version of arranged marriage, except that no one forced these idiots onto the show.

    I think I just came up with a solution to funding prisons without taking away more taxpayer money - have all these reality shows made with convicts. Imagine it - "American Convict", "Married by Convicts", "Who wants to marry a Convict?" "Convict Island"
    and of course, "I'm a Convict - Get me out of here!"

    oh wait, sorry. i though this was the 'what did you do last night' thread.


By J on Thursday, March 6, 2003 - 12:46 pm:

    "I'm a convict, get me out of here".LOL!!!!!


By J on Thursday, March 6, 2003 - 02:16 pm:

    Did anyone watch The Surreal Life? I watched it enough to know that somebody needs to kick Corey Feldman's pathetic ass,the asshole even got married on it.I'm sure he nor the bride paid for it.He really sucks.


By eri on Thursday, March 6, 2003 - 02:31 pm:

    I watched it once. When they went to Vegas. Then it changed when it was on and I haven't stumbled across it since. Corey Feldman was a total whiner on the whole damned show. He was annoying as hell.


By wisper on Thursday, March 6, 2003 - 06:18 pm:

    "wisper, i beg of you to continue on with the reviews."


    it's all i do Tuesday nights, agatha.
    ALL i fucking do.
    Though i never watch the recap show. Too many bad memories.


    you know who really sucked? that chick in the pink dress. Pinky. She blew 12 ways from sunday. It was her 2nd time using a mic or soemthing. And see how all the wildcards got background vocals and karaoke-type music? and it STILL didn't help them. And that other chick who sang 'In the arms of the angels'.... again?! I hate that song and she butchered it anyway.

    I think simon was only being so nice to them all because he was in a state of giddy shock at how horrible they all were, just as i was. Like he just gave up and decided to tell all of them that they were wonderfull. It's "Everyone Gets A Trophy" day!

    i love how Simon says Paula's name: "Pole-ah". It's super :)

    wait....checking website..... (and i've never been there before...) hey, Clay won !!
    AHK! bar trash got in too! fuck! i can't stand seeing her and another fake leather fringed dress.


By eri on Thursday, March 6, 2003 - 07:40 pm:

    They drew out the drama on that one. They all like said Clay was the best during the show, but then when they went to pick their people for the top 12 it was bar trash and ucky person and loser chick who can't sing at all and I was like "Why the fuck didn't anyone pick Clay for fucksake, he must have had the top votes" and he did. Drama queens. He was the only decent one and they waited until last to announce him.

    I think Simon just finally shut up because he was tired of being an ass cuz they sucked ass so badly.
