mindless entertainment (& blog posts)

I will admit it. I like a few reality shows. Survivor, The Amazing Race and The Apprentice are all on my “must watch” list every week. Until recently, though, that was it. Mainly because, I think, they feature real people, not actors/actresses or some kind of entertainer looking for another way to make a buck. It’s fun to cheer for the good guys, and I get really pissed off when asswipes like Rob & Amber get ahead. I don’t like the conniving that goes on but ya know… it’s part of the game, etc. I simply *REFUSE* to watch American Idol because of that nasty jerkface simon coward. I just don’t like mean people, I suppose.

I decided to check out Dancing with the Stars this season mainly because of all the hype from last season. It’s been nice to see that the judges don’t degrade the dancers even when they do SUCK (i.e. Shandi, Leeza) – what IS it with these skinny women who cannot move their hips to save their lives (or their Dancing legacy LOL)??? I mention skinny because Laila Ali, who isn’t skinny, CAN move her hips (even if she’s got a man’s body LOL)

Billy Ray Cyrus, who has such a musical background, is so bad, he’s funny. Clyde Drexler… well, that man’s too tall! I love watching Joey Fatone (whom I loved in N’Sync, yes, there I’ve admitted it) and Ian Zierling (who I hated on 90210… there, I’ve admitted that too), because they can dance and have a personality. I’m not all that impressed with Apolo – I’m not sure why. It cracks me up, though, that his dance partner is all of 18 yrs old.

I also think Heather Mills is totally getting way too much credit for her dancing just because of her disability.

My pick for who goes home this week is Leeza Gibbons – she has a great personality but cannot Dance.
