Reality t.v. stuff and tidbits

I had no intention of posting about reality t.v. today until I read THIS.  Go ahead.  Go read this short, couple of paragraph long article and come back so we can discuss it.

What do you think?  I like it!  However, you know how people like to play these games pretending to be not as rich, or not as famous or whatever than they really are?  My guess is he would have a very hard time pretending to NOT be himself!  We see him on t.v. every week during football season.  Makes me really look forward to this coming season of Survivor.

And on the topic of reality t.v., I look forward every year to the summer excitement of Big Brother.  Every year there is something hilarious going on in that house.  There are a few contestants that are so memorable that they can be known instantly with only one name, like Cher and Madonna.  For example, Howie, Janelle, Marcellas, Kaysar, Rennie, Dr. Will and Evil Dick.  Ok, Evil Dick is technically 2 names.  Or one name with one descriptive.  Whatever.  The point is none of these people need last names.

This year's cast?  Yawn. Snooze. booooorrrrrriing!  The only one on there worth watching is Ragan (whose parentals couldn't spell or were so poor they couldn't afford the "E"). This boy is hilarious!  And he must be going out of his everloving mind!  Every time I turn on BB after dark on Showtime he is explaining how things will work out in this or that scenario to the idiot HOH.  I would pay money to get to see all his diary room sessions where he tells how he really feels about these maroons he is stuck with.  He is adorable.  And of course, he is the requisite Gay Guy.  All these shows seem to have a list they have to fill.

1. Hot blonde chick who is dumber than a box of hair
2. Hot frat dude who is also dumber than a box of hair
3. Random idiot who has no anger control
4. Douchebag who causes drama
5. Black chick with attitude
6. Smart nerdy guy/girl who is secretly a complete sexual freak
7. Hilarious gay guy

Whether it be Survivor, BB, Real World or whatever reality show you are watching they all seem to work from this formula and then sprinkle in a few others for drama.  And one of these people is usually what we in my family call a Spoon.  or a Ladle.  You know, the pot stirrer who just loves to watch all the idiots implode.

Anyhoo, the only fun one on this season of BB is the Gay Guy.  Thank you Ragan!  Because CBS would be losing a serious amount of viewers if it weren't for him.
