Reality Roundup - Page 2

I much prefer Supernanny to Nanny 911. The "agency" gimick is too, well, gimicky.

So, Apprentice last night. Still haven't watched the first half (got home at 9:30), but it ended up pretty much as I expected. Of course Chris is gone. I don't know why Trump catered to him so much. Crybaby. Although I have to say I was impressed that the guys appeared able to go for the throat in the boardroom, yet still be civil outside. So many others couldn't seem to make that separation. Kendra's smart, but she's so wrapped up in her victim role. Next week's previews teased a little conflict between the victim and the do-nothing. Craig calls her a girl! Oooh that would get my Irish up.

Amazing Race. We got started on it when my friend was a contestant, and now we keep watching it. We hate Rob and Amber though! I don't really like anybody that's left, but there's a couple teams that, yeah, I'd like to see take a fall.

I do watch Queer Eye for the Straight Girl. The lesbian they have on the team is HOT!! OMG. I watch the QEFSG, too, but that's just for entertainment value.

I still don't understand how Craig has made it this far. Totally UTR approach which is a fatal flaw as far as Trump is concerned. I'm predicting a Tana vs. Kendra final two this time around. Alex and Bren just don't seem like Trump material.

Really? What season were they on? How cool!

AVP has been pushing me for a long time to submit an application with her. We'd rock but I'm afraid my employers don't take well to employees disappearing for a couple of months....

As far as this season goes, I'd like to see either Uchenna & Joyce or Meredith & Gretchen win. I don't like Rob & Amber nor Ron & Kelly. And Lynn & Alex are getting on my nerves even though I thought they were amusing in the beginning.

I watch Survivor and TAR regularly.

I watched the Apprentice at the beginning of this season, but as the season has gone on, it is getting more annoying than entertaining. I tend to turn to it during commercials on CSI.

I like Supernanny. She seems to really help these people, although I can understand how grown people let their kids get that out of control.

I haven't watched AI for the last couple of seasons.

Big Brother is amusing.

I have only seen 1 episode of Extreme Makeover Home Edition. It was the family from here (Bakersfield). There was sooooo much hype. I knew quite a few of the people who worked on the barn & house. I never went to the site, but a lot of my friends did (everyday!).

Don't laugh...we've been watching Carpocalypse on SpikeTV. Rednecks racing in demo-derby races. Freaking hillarious! Gotta love them Florida hicks. AND it's full of cars crashing. What could be better?

Me? The queen of RTV make fun of someone else watching something equally as trashy as I? Not to worry, my friend -- you're welcome to wallow in the pit of reality TV with the rest of us. Oink.

I don't have cable but I keep hearing about this show where they take a car and turn it into some ridiculously-hi tech lawn mower, etc. Do you watch that one too? It sounds pretty cool....

Prudence · 04-17-2005, 11:41 PM

I caught a bit of Colonial House today where Ms. I'm not going to church was going on about how she'd stand up for her (modern) beliefs if she really lived back then.

Um, no you wouldn't. In all likelihood, it wouldn't even have occurred to you that it was possible to get away with holding beliefs outside the norm. And the punishments were real. Not pretend for teevee. Grrr. Apparently stupid people are the only ones who can take three months off work.

I believe you'd be talking about Monster Garage. Great show. Monster House too, where they go nuts and completely redo a house to a wacky theme. They go all out and pull off some damn good stuff, it's even sometimes quite liveable.

Overhaullin' is good, where they "steal" people's cars, lead them on for a week to make them think their car (it's usually a classic car that the owner loves, but neglects) has been stripped, and then completely trick out the car. I love it because the lead design guy, Chip Foose, does awesome work. They don't go outrageous with the cars (a-la Pimp My Ride). Foose is all about the classic hot-rod look. His cars always turn out undeniably eye-catching, yet completely tasteful.

Anyone want to fill me in on last week's Amazing Race? I forgot to set the VCR -- although I remembered tonight.

Any further Apprentice predictions? Alex isn't long for this game. He thinks way too highly of himself. When the cast was announced, he had a whole website done up with an entire section of professional photography of him. Gah. Why can't any of our local contestants ever be compelling? Whatsherface quit and Alex thinks he's a model.

I don't think Craig will make it, either. He seems to have issues about working with women as colleagues. He also seems to be in a different reality most of the time. Kendra is also in a different reality, but she actually has good ideas. Repeatedly. She whines too much and doesn't always play well with others, but she has damn good ideas in that head of hers. But Tana's got more polish.

Anyone watch Mr. Romance? I like me a good man pageant.

Mousey Girl · 04-26-2005, 11:44 AM

I want Tana to win The Apprentice. She is the least annoying/whining of the 4 that are left.

TAR: India
U&J took the FF and she commented that she hoped it wasn't a head shaving thing, and it was. She went through with it. He was very supportive, he even cried with her. He told her she didn't have to do it. She looks great! They won the leg, but no prize.

G&M continue to luck out. G is whining non-stop, "Oh Meridithhhhh." They should have been Philiminated, but weren't. They make dumb decisions and I am afraid they are going to end up seriously hurt.

A&L were doing ok, until they got their last clue guiding them to the PS. They got in a taxi and the driver told them he knew where it was (it was at one of the many, many palaces in India). He took them to 1 palace and it was the wrong one. By the time they got to the correct location it was too late.

R&K: Still arguing, still annoying. We were left with an interesting sound bite for tonight's epi..can't remember word for word, but it was a negative remark about him being a POW. They are still hanging with R&A.

R&A: Not much going on with them. They are hanging with R&K, still smug, still arrogant.
