As anyone who has seen television over the past 10 years knows, the programming is dominated by reality tv. Here's a round up of what's been going on lately in that genre: Hell's Kitchen: I watched the last few episodes of this show with my wife to see the big showdown between the Rock (not the wrestler) and Bonnie to be top chef of a new Las Vegas restaurant. Star chef Gordon Ramsay yelled and berated everyone around him but was surprisingly nice to people when he wasn't doing that. I was rooting for Rock to win (he did), but the part that sticks with me is Bonnie talking to the camera about her newfound confidence "Bonnie's tough. Don't F*ck with Bonnie!" She seemed unintentionally cute while saying this, which made it really funny. Didn't help the program replayed the clip repeatedly during the last two episodes to rub it in. I think I'll make that my new catchphrase. Don't fuck with Bonnie!
Real World Sydney: Geez, is this show still on the air? After the booze and boobs soaked Vegas entry a few years ago, this show lost all sense of purpose.
Girls Next Door: Poor Hugh Hefner, he always seems so tired when he appears on the show. I'm sure he's enjoying life like he always has, but despite the mansion and multiple girlfriends he looks bored most of the time. It's hard to feel sorry for a guy who has so much money he can afford to make a dull tv show about his three girlfriends doing a lot of nothing, but I do.
Scott Baio is 45 and single: I grew up on Happy Days and was a Chachi fan but never understood how this guy ended up perpetually affluent while barely acting in anything. The show is sort of like Entourage meets High Fidelity while Baio wonders why decades of blatant cheating on women has resulted in him approaching middle age single.
Rock of Love: The rock & roll version of Flavor of Love has Bret Michaels of Poison trying to find the "one" amid a bevy of aging rocker chicks. At least Michaels doesn't need a psychologist to tell him his promiscuous lifestyle has led to him being single. Somewhat entertaining but not the full on train wreck that Flavor of Love was. Flavor Flav!!!
Hogan Knows Best: The Hulkster's debut episode this season was a downer with him and his wife talking divorce. Whatchagonnado, Brother? Don't Fuck with Bonnie! I hope this show gets happy soon or I'm running wild to another channel.
Reality tv...so real...so unreal...so cheap to make with no actors or script writers.
