You Know You're Pathetic When You Watch The Surreal Life
So I guess that makes me pathetic. But it was a rerun and there was nothing else on TV, if that works as a viable excuse. Well, since I did indeed watch what I had previously labeled as one of the stupidest and most pointless shows on television, I will go ahead and say what I think about each of the washed-up celebrities on this season.
1. Bronson Pinchot - The word that sums it up best is CREEPY. I remember watching the show Perfect Strangers when I was very young, but this guy is definitely not the loveable Balki. Balding and overweight, he looks like an unemployed slob who sits at home drinking beer and watching porn. Additionally, he's as horny as an adolescent boy, and it seems that his goal for the show is to get a piece of ex-model ass. Yeah, like that's going to work. They're not that dumb. I don't know, but if I were the dog, I'd be getting a little concerned. One more rejection by the models, and who knows what will happen.
2. Janice Dickinson - The walls of the carnival-themed house advertise her prescence, saying "Come See the World's First Supermodel," making her out to be some kind of side-show freak. After seeing a close up of her, they're not too far from the truth. The woman's had so much plastic surgery, her face is practically stuck in one place. How old is she? She could be 85 for all we know, but her face will permanently be stuck in that scrunched up look of superiority. Speaking of which, that woman would be the poster child of "Ex-Models Behaving Badly." She irritated me from the beginning with her snobbery and amazed me with the depths she carried her drama queen attitude. She's a pscho-bitch and possibly bi-polar to boot. With all that crack, heroin, and whatever else she did back in the years of her modeling heyday, she really fucked herself up for life.
3. Omarosa - I never watched her on The Apprentice, but had heard of her status as "Reality TV's Biggest Bitch," so I was expecting a lot. Turns out I was disappointed, but in a good way. Omarosa...forward, abrupt, tactless, and direct? Yes. Bitchy? Not as much. Sure, she dug into people's personal lives when she should've been more polite and she immediately took control of the house by assiging rooms, which may not have been necessary, but she didn't quite pass into what I would call bitchy. Janice had her beat by a million times on that one. However, she does tell it like it is, and that's the kind of thing that stirs conflict and makes good TV, so I'm expecting a lot from her in the future. That is if I continue to watch it. Which I'm sure I won't.
4. Caprice - As a fellow model in the fashion industry, Janice was so considerate as to automatically declare her seniority and superiority as a model to this younger and much calmer "international model." Whatever that means. I guess that just means she lives in London instead of the U.S. Whatever. Anyway, Caprice seems more down to earth, but much more clueless. I see her as the type to stare off into space and dream about butterflies and flowers and pink sparkly things. Not too bright, but nicer and less dramatic. I can't quite pinpoint her attitude or motives. She could turn out to be interesting yet.
5. Carey Hart - Hot in that I'm-covered-in-tattoos-and-like-to-wear-baggy-dark-clothes-come-back-with-me-and-check-out-all-the-cool-tricks-I-can-do-with-my-bike-::wink:: kind of way. Still, he's hot and he doesn't seem too stupid.
6. Jose Conseco-When did they figure out how to defreeze the ice man? This guy is neanderthal, straight out of the cave. I think he just figured out how to use fire.
7. Pepa-She is everyone's best friend. She even convinced Janice to stay after she treated her like a selfish bitch at dinner. She is everything to anyone depending on what they need at the time. However, she will probably turn out to be the diplomat in the group. I see her in between conflicts a lot. After one epidsode, I'd say she's my favorite. I could see her being one of my good friends if I was growing up with her. Of course that could change.
So that's my opinion, love it or hate it. I'm embarrassed that I wasted an hour of my life watching this show, but at least I admit it. Knowing how VH1 airs each of their shows 50 times a week, I will probably catch another episode at some point.
