(yes, i watch joe millionaire. it validates my misogynistic world view. plus, all those chicks have great racks.) |
being LIED to! |
|
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 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. |
|
|
|
what is Rudy from the Cosby Show doing these days? how old is she now? she was so cute. |
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. |
|
i think they should be called "how much does it take?" shows because you ultimately learn everyone's price for the humiliation. |
If there's one thing I can't watch, it's people getting humiliated or embarrassed. I squirm so! |
Sarah - Rudy is TINY, and really cute. and she kicked all the others asses. YAY |
I also highly enjoyed "Celebrity Bootcamp" and think that needs to be a regular series. |
but then again i have a shit load of channels and can usually find something a little more "intelligent". |
|
i have direct tv, they put one those satellite thingys on your roof, calibrate it and bingo. 10x better than cable. |
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! |
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. |
|
|
Now I aim for the Diesel. |
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. |
|
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. |
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. |
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. |
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. |
|
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. |
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. |
|
|
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. |
|
|
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. |
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! |
Frenchie rocks. |
Is he in the third group with Frenchie? |
|
On Tuesday I saw Julia and some dude get into the 10. Are you like a week ahead? |
|
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. |
|
who the fuck cares if she worked for a porno site? porno queens can't be american idols? i call bullshit on that. |
don't feel bad sarah. im with you. |
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? |
|
|
|
|
|
|
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? |
The phone lines were dead when I went to vote last night. Too bad they wouldn't let you through. |
Get it. Onion. Cry? GET IT??? |
Alas, it was not to be. ha ha trace. ha ha |
|
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! |
oh, golly. |
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. |
Weird |
|
|
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. |
|
|
|
|
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... |
|
fuck, listen to me. i haven't even seen the goddamn show. |
|
"Did I mention they're BISEXUAL Lesbians?" -Eric Bischoff, addressing Vince McMahon in a ploy to keep his job. |
|
|
|
|
|
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? |
|
we have plans. |
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. |
christ i'm tired |
|
and her name is ZORRA?? jesus h on a popsicle stick. |
|
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. |
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!! |
Fuck 1441, we must uphold our pro wrestling stipulations! |
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. |
|
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* |
|
|
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. |
|
|
|
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. |
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. |
gee, sarah, i hope you meet someone who proves you wrong. i think the right guy is out there. |
I loved it. |
|
|
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. |
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. |
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. |
|
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! |
|
|
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. |
i love clay. i almost voted for him last night, but i was too tired. he made fun of his own ears! |
shit.... that explains my rooting for her then. |
clay rocked the elton, though, we all must admit at least this. |
i yell at the tv, too. it drives dave nuts. |
geek-o-rama. |
Did anyone watch "Married by America"? That was the worst crap I have seen yet. I just had to vote for the biggest loser! |
|
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!" |

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