    Wasn't one of the contestants on that show where contestants had to throw themselves through human shaped holes in an oobstacle course on Sean Cody as well?

    You know, if you include in the crazy pool people who are insane enough to watch reality TV, the producers should have no shortage of nutbags from which to draw.

    Brian: Didn't Frenchie get the boot because she was (allegedly) underage when the topless photos were taken? I mean, they were definitely trying to market AI as a more family-friendly program back then (despite being plagued by scandal EVERY SINGLE YEAR, WTF?) but I thought I remembered them specifically citing her age as a significant part of the reason.

    I assume Brian is more of a seancody fan instead? If Brian needs to research the award winning movies by randyblue (so I've heard), maybe you can charge a monthly subscription on the boss's dime for "research"?

    Meanwhile, I love that this show is basically whatever happens at a gay bar whenever a muscled hunk in a tight t-shirt walks into a bar.

    @Muggs Bigglesworth: That's what we thought about the new Jay Leno show. But when it only costs like $75 to make an episode of this kind of junk, if even 30 or 40 people watch, it gets to stay on the air.

    @Brian Moylan: I'm guessing we're about 12-18 months away from a porn reality show - not the BS Playboy derivative - but an honest to goodness (an ass to assness?) porn reality show, where the winner gets a contract (in porn), and the weekly challenges ARE porn, and the host is an aging porn icon, like Tera Patrick or Jill Kelly.

    Now THAT'S a reality I can get behind.

    Get it? Get behind.

    @Muggs Bigglesworth: "Ass to assness". I'll love you to death for it.

    And whaddaya know? There was some european reality show where the guys had to eff a lot of pornstars, and the winner got a porn contract. The episode when one of the guys can't get it up = heartbreaking.

    Too lazy to google it, though.

    @markscottmusic: And yet, well written and acted scripted shows get the boot, because they don't get 100 million people watching. Sigh. Maybe it's time to give away the TV.

    Huh. Ain't gonna happen.

    I'll tell you why: basically, everybody in this whole goddamn' country today is cuckoo. Seriously, take a look around at how politicians and "educators" and corporate executives and celebrities and just regular old ordinary folks have been behaving in this country for the past...oh, ten, fifteen years. You think that bloated, shrieking "spiritual warrior" broad is an exception? Shit, man; she's the goddamn' norm in this country these days.

    If the producers of reality TV shows really wanted to search for "stars" who weren't damn' near certifiably batso, they'd have to cancel every show, because there can't be more than a bare handful of people in this country who haven't totally sailed off the edge of the Earth.

    said Michael Hirschorn, a former VH1 executive who helped develop such genre-expanding shows as "I Love New York" and now runs the independent production house Ish Entertainment.

    Yep, that sounds like the perfect name for his production house.
