Reality TV Whore

hiddenmuseSo I never got into Survivor, didn't watch The Mole, Amazing Race, Big Brother, The Bachelor or any of its various iterations, Road Rules, and only got into the first 2 seasons of The Real World ... but I still consider myself to be a reality TV whore.
While lj was pitching an electronic temper fit last night, I was in my own Nerdvana, watching High School Reunion and The Surreal Life. For all three of you that watched it (or would admit to it), was that not the most fucked-up two hours of television?
High School Reunion was interesting. All I can say is that Nicole has me freaked out with her talk about how "at the end of the two weeks, I'll be Mrs. Dan So-and-So". Hello! Earth to Nicole! It's been TEN YEARS. He was a "player" in high school. In case you're completely oblivious, "player" is a nice way of saying that Danny Boy was a Slut Boy. Once a slut, always a slut. Besides, two weeks? What? Are you Mormon or something? Or just wicked desperate and fomenting a stalker-worthy fantasy from high school?
The Surreal Life had its moments, too. Interesting mix of 'players', too. Hammer, Vince Neil (Motley Crue), Emanuel Lewis (Webster), Gabrielle Carteris (Beverly Hills 90210), Brande Roderick (one of many Baywatch chicks), Corey Feldman (washed-up teen icon), and Jerri Manthey (Survivor).
Besides the fact that they have a fully-stocked bar in a house with two recovering smackheads (Feldman & Neil) - yeah, that's *smart*. Give the recovering addicts something else to get hooked on... I wanted to slap Corey Feldman for being such a damned hypocrite (a vege wearing leather), and laugh at Vince Neil for porking up like he did. (Urgh ... all bloated and gross-looking. Not attractive *at all*)
Still ... it looks like an interesting season for me. ;)
