WEEK OF 1.31.05
Thoughts on the last week of reality television. Shows include “The Apprentice”, and the “Real World”. Sorry, I had a lot to say about each.
-You think Brian has short man's complex? Holy smokes! What a little pud he was. I seem to say this every time about the project manager of the losing team, but, that was one of the worst performances we've ever seen. No social skills, bad decision making, and complete incompetance when it came to managing his team. Other than that, the guy is the next Donald Trump.
-The thing I found really odd about both team's performances, and i know editing was involved, was that minutes before guests were about to arrive, these rooms and the complex was still in complete shambles. I mean, to a point where it looked like no one in their right mind would stay there. Then in the boardroom when Trump is looking at how each team made up the rooms, some of them looked halfway decent. All we saw was the pile of mess each team turned the rooms into. That was weird.
-I don't know how toilet seats can ever be a priority. The girl hit on the head with, "Your ass doesn't know the difference". Amen. The funny thing is, on any task, in any season they've had, no matter what the project is, there's always at least two people butting heads. How come there can never be a task when everyone's on the same page, everyone loves each others ideas, and no one argues? Oh, because that doesn't make for good television. I forgot.
-Have you noticed how many blowouts we get in these tasks? I think in two seasons and two episodes, there's been one close task, and that was the QVC task last season where one team won by like $10 or something. Everything else is Rout City. Can we have some competitiveness please?
-Nice to find out that our accountant friend Kristen, the girl who loved to have screaming matches with Brian and install herself as the early favorite for “Most Likely to Piss Off the most People”, has already had a cameo in reality television. She was on the Fox show “Murder in Small Town X”, back in 2001. I never saw it, but I remember it. I wonder if she talked everyone’s heads off on that show, too.
-I have an idea: If you’re a black woman, I suggest you just not send in your application to be on the “Apprentice”. The track record of African-American women on this show runs like this: Omarosa was lazy and crazy, Stacy J. was just crazy, and now Verna is lazy….and crazy….and a quitter. I don’t know if they’re purposely trying to feed into the stereotype, but whatever they’re doing, it’s not working. Three straight seasons, and the main African-American woman has been portrayed as either lazy or crazy. Nice. I’m sure that doesn’t have too many people upset.
-John, the leader of the “Street Smarts” team who won in the first week, is a mix between Vince Vaughn and Elvis Presley. He’s kinda got that Vegas Lounge Act look working. He’s shown himself to be the brightest thus far, whereas, Kristen the Screaming Idiot, has shown herself to have the worst set of fake eyebrows imaginable. Who stenciled those things on? Looks terrible.
-I understand Carolyn’s job is to critique, but is that woman ever happy? Has she ever complimented anyone on a job well done? I think she’s gonna have a field day with Kristen down the line. My god, someone really needs to remove that stick from her ass as soon as possible before she gets her ass kicked. How does anyone think that yelling their teammates on this show will ever get them hired? Do they watch the previous shows?
-If Erin the attorney doesn’t have a spread in Maxim out within the next month, I’m raising hell. And if she could lay down on the bed again with a mini-skirt on like she did in Week 1, that would be much appreciated as well. One of the finer assets they’ve had on the show in three seasons. And she’s a good candidate as well.
-The line of the week came from Claudia with her “Your ass can’t tell the difference” line. Brilliant. Brian the Angry Short Fat Guy spending all his money on toilets was a gigantic blunder. She’s right. Just change the seats. People will never judge a hotels quality by how they felt on the toilet. Unless the toilet didn’t flush, then there’s a reason to be upset. Brian’s a nipplebrain who deserved everything he got.
-I missed about four episodes of the “Real World” but caught up this weekend, and it was like I never left. Karamo is an angry black man who turns everything into race, Landon is an out-of-control alcoholic horndog, Melanie is an outcast, and Sarah is a whore. What changes on this show?
-I think Sarah trying to bang three different guys in one night, and getting rejected by all three might be an all-time low in “Real World”. A high for the rest of us, but a low for the show in general. I can’t believe Sarah can sit back now, watch the show, and say, “Yeah, I was proud of that night.” What do her parents think? Do they still talk to her?
-I think Willie and Karamo just need to do it and get it over with. Neither of these guys seems to be getting any action anymore, why not just go after each other? Granted, Karamo would physically kill the guy, but hey, Willie can handle it. He’s a good 95 lbs soaking wet.
-There’s something about Shavonda that questions whether or not I find her attractive. There are sometimes I do, but then there are times where she has the mentality of a 10 year old girl just receiving her first kiss, and it makes me want to be beat her with a shovel.
-When’s the proverbial episode where Melanie melts down and begs her parents to come get her because everyone hates her? That’s gotta be coming up shortly, doesn’t it? We’re on the verge of a major meltdown with her. First her scabies, then her interrupting everyone, then her views on Sarah’s slutiness. The sh**’s gonna hit the fan soon. Can’t wait.
