Wicked Attitude

In a fight to the finish against Fit Club favorite Tina Yothers, Willie Aames came out as the big individual winner for this season’s CFC.  He did undergo a great transformation and as he promised Harvey, he got a bulldog tattoo on his leg.  The disturbing part…it has what is supposed to be Harvey’s face on it!  I say “supposed to” because it looked nothing like him and I actually felt bad he’s going to have that on his body the rest of his life but whatever floats your boat.

In a slightly controversial move, the blue team won a challenge which earned them the prize of 5 “fit factor” points.  This prize had not been offered in any other challenge during the season.  This of course was the deciding factor in the game with the blue team taking the grand prize.  The blue team consisted of Tina Yothers, Somorre (some comedienne?), Brian Dunkleman (who was apparently on the first season of American Idol) and finally the reason I can no longer enjoy my guilty pleasure show Saved by the Bell, Dustin Diamond.

It was a different, if not slightly boring season given there were about 3 people that not many had heard of.  The one people are likely not to forget is former Happy Days star Erin Moran who effectively shat on her Joanie Cunningham persona and personal reputation which made many question her mental stability.  After getting her undies in a bunch over being upstaged by camera hog Toccara hula hooping at a bar, faking an orgasm that people will need shock therapy to have the image removed from their psyche and admitting she flat out had no interest in losing weight but did it for the money, Moran was often referred to as “crazy” by her fellow Fit Clubbers.  She mentioned how she did signings the week before the finale saying again how she needed the money.  I guess Happy Days residuals aren’t so lucrative.

Last night I was watching a rerun of the Conan show.  It was the first show with the writers back after the strike.  They played a montage of all of these things they did to fill the first 20 minutes of the show, where the monologue would usually be.  Wow…talk about bittersweet.  I hadn’t laughed at Conan’s show more than when his writers were away.  The things he did were outrageous, original and downright funny.  From turning the studio into a “German nightclub” with lasers to putting a replica of his desk on a forklift and driving it around the studio to saving Abe Lincoln from the night at the theater by ziplining down the studio audience in smoking boots and an Oscar Mayer helmet…it was all just funny because you didn’t know what he was going to do next!

Since the writers have been back, I’d say 9 out of 10 jokes barely get more than a sympathy clap or two.  They just need to add cricket noises to complete the feeling you get watching it.  Maybe they need to get back whomever was thinking up the stuff he was doing when the writers were gone and add them to the team.  I shudder to think that he may get even more tame when he takes over for that tool Leno in the 11:30 slot.

Back in the day, I was a big time Poison fan.  I mean LOVED them.  C.C. was my man of choice.  What can I say, I liked guys I knew I could share make up with…I was also a Nick Rhodes fan from Duran Duran so me and the Maybelline men go way back.  So of course when Rock of Love came along I had to watch despite the train wreck of boobs, airheads, booze and vomit just to see how one of my favorite band members was faring 20 years later.  Good Lord.  My imagination gave him much more intelligence and maturity than reality TV has shown his true nature.  Not sure why this wasn’t named Rock of Lust but I digress.  I had to tune into Season 2 because…I don’t know, I’m apparently a glutton for punishment.

So we were down to Ambre, my pick because she seems the least slutty, closer to his age and mature which I pray rubs off on him.  Or we have Daisy “De La Hoya” who claimed she was Oscar De La Hoya’s niece (she’s not and I don’t know what she’d have to gain by lying about it given the last time his name was big it was because he was cross dressing in a fishnet catsuit).  She has the IQ of a carrot, huge on board airbags, looks like someone bike pumped her lips, apparently needs her hands in order to attempt to speak.  I say attempt because half the things she says are slurred and I feel myself getting more cerebrally retarded as I hear sounds spew from her face.

So who did he choose? Holy crap the man grew a brain cell and chose Ambre!

We all know its not going to last but at least they got to have…to quote Bret “hot monkey sex.”  Let’s hope she doesn’t dump him at the reunion too

Yes, I’m one of the handful of about 20 people who watch the CBS Early Show.  Yesterday they featured a story about a bunch of flaming idiot bullies that make me weep for our future who set up a “friend” of theirs and beat the hell out of her.  There were 5 cameras catching all of the “action” so they could post it online and become internet stars.  The victim of this beating has sustained deafness in her left ear, damage to her eye and multiple bruises.  There may be more damage but more tests need to be run.  The culprits were in jail laughing about it and asking things like if they’d be out in time to go to cheerleading practice.  They showed absolutely no remorse.

The worst part of this whole thing?  As The Early Show was reporting about it, they must’ve run that footage a MINIMUM of 10x as teasers and while the poor girls parents are describing her injuries.  This fulfills the entire reason these a-holes set up this production is to get national attention and be “famous.”   Show it ONE time and then drop it for God’s sake.  Then I just flipped it on this morning and they are showing it AGAIN!!!!   I was so disgusted I had to change the channel. 

The media is half the problem in situations like this!  They talk about violence kids are exposed to in video games or movies yet they don’t stop to think of what programming they’re showing.  I went to school for broadcasting, there’s a reason why there’s the saying “if it bleeds, it leads.”  I refuse to watch the nighly news anymore.  I immediately change it.  If the local news gets too depressing, I change it too.  I find if I listen to it, it truly does affect my mood and I can feel depressed, angry, hopeless, etc after watching many of the stories on the news.  Just like after changing the Early Show this morning after seeing a nanosecond of that disgusting video, I’ve been watching old school Denise Austin workouts and laughing at her 80’s leotards because I think I had a pair just like them…when I was 10.  I’ll take that kind of start to my day than listening about the protests of China or what the youth of the nation are doing to chuck our society into the proverbial hellbound hand basket.
