This week I’m boldly going into the secretive, dark dating lives of 6 individuals. I’ve visited this world before and have always been mildly amused. I’m back again to rank the lonely losers and lucky couples.
4. John
The Trekkie dude, who wasn’t too hideous looking, had a truly wretched personality or as Kate described it “the personality of an ear.” Because of his body odor and strange dating techniques, he ended up a lonely loser. Poor John! Maybe he should pick someone up at a Star Trek convention instead.
3. Kate
She left without waiting for Brad. She was only physically attracted to his teeth. I think she made a good decision. She was a bit out of his league–sorry, but it’s true.
2. Brad & Jill
There is one major problem with this relationship…tonight when Jill watches this episode, if she is still dating Brad, she will be quite upset when she hears him go on and on about how hot Kate is. Not a good move Brad!
1. Drew & Katy
These two are an attractive couple. I still think that he’ll go back on his decision to stay with her for the long haul because she’s not a 10. At least tonight, they were only interested in each other, which is always a positive.
I’m on my second season of the Bad Girls Club and already feel that the layout is a bit tired. I will keep watching, though. In some ways, it’s like watching younger versions of Teresa Giudice and Danielle Staub in their 20s. Where will these women end up? I doubt anywhere good, but I’ll let them entertain me for a few minutes on a Tuesday night.
As for this ranking, there’s a good helping of crazy on this season and it’s my duty to rank it.
7. Erica Eggum
She’s just moody and actually is one of the most sane in the house. Has she freaked out on anyone? No. Has she spit in anyone’s face–a BGC favorite? No. She’s just a sour puss, who’s probably counting down the days on her calender until she can get out of that madhouse.
6. Lea Beaulieu
She also seems pretty normal, aside from the whole dating a married man thing.
5. Kayleigh Severn
It’s too early to tell how in control she is.
4. Danielle Rosario
As long as you don’t insult her humble background or her checkered past, then she’s fine. If you hit her where it hurts, then she’ll lose it like a madwoman wailing for her long lost husband. Maybe she belongs in the broken girl’s club.
3. Catya Washington
She’s just a spoiled girl, who fusses when she doesn’t get her way or feels disrespected. If she just grew up and realized that she’s on a trashy reality show, then maybe she would figure out that she’s not so important. Also, her friends are losers.
2. Kristen Guinane
Wow! This spoiled girl has issues. I’ve written it before and I’ll write it again. Footage of her should be shown to women who consider pushing their little girls into pageantry. She’s not what you want your child to be, but what she could become. Ugh!!
1. Brandi Arceneaux
This girl needs therapy, then medication, then therapy, then some more medication, then some really intense therapy. After all of that, she might then become a normal member of society, maybe. At least, she might stop breaking things, which would be an improvement. I say congrats Brandi on being the craziest girl in the house. Hopefully it makes you proud.
For all of you Jersey Shore watchers, do you remember when The Situation harbored a little romance with Sammi? It barely made it past the hand holding, first kiss stage, but poor Mike was hooked. Then, Sammi decided to latch on to Mr. Creatin Bloat aka Ronnie, and we’ve seen how all of that has turned out. I’d like to list the reasons why Sammi chose the wrong Italian in the house.
5. Has His Own Song
If only she knew about his future smash?? hit??…
4. Only One to Verbally Admit Ronnie’s Infidelities
Unlike J-WOWW and Snooki, Mike actually admitted to Sammi that Ronnie had cheated on her with other women. Now, within his group, this could be seen as a “hos before bros” move, but this might show that he’s a decent human being. He kept repeating that a man should not treat his girlfriend in that way. While The Situation might attack anything that moves, he’s also single and thus not tied to anyone. Would he have been able to control himself if he was with Sammi?
3. Has a Nickname
Ronnie has not been graced with a moniker or hasn’t developed enough brain cells to devise one himself. Mike obviously wins in the nickname department.
2. Not an Idiot
Although this one will lead me to my next point, I think that Mike is actually smart. Ronnie can string some really crappy lies together and fool Sammi, but could he strategically place women around a house so that none of them know about each other? I doubt it!
1. Making $5 Million
Uh…this week’s headline only applied to The Situation and none of his other Jersey Shore co-stars. If Sammi likes the cash, she might have been swayed by this final selling point.
The weeks have passed and many cheftestants have fallen by the wayside, banished to a life where cooking challenges are no longer a means to a life of pseudo-culinary fame. Be that as it may, with five left, it’s time for me to re-rank the survivors. Also, congrats Top Chef on the Emmy win!!
5. Kevin Sbraga
The problem with Kevin is that he’s emotional. As the pressure in the game builds, his emotions increase and his cooking suffers. I’m just waiting for him to screw up big.
4. Kelly Liken
Honestly, she could take it all. I’ve liked her throughout the season, but she doesn’t seem to be wowing the judges lately, which can be a liability.
3. Angelo Sosa
He seems to be falling apart. In the beginning, I thought his winning was a foregone conclusion, but in true reality show style, his epic pace caused him to burn a bit too bright a bit too early. There’s a chance he could get back on his game, but I’m just not sure.
2. Ed Cotton
This is where it gets complicated. I like both of the top 2 as the winners. It’s actually hard for me to choose. Ed is incredibly talented and has great technical skill, but….
1. Tiffany Derry
I’ll give Tiffany the edge since she’s practically a Houston girl. I hope she can keep impressing the judges with her Southern cooking and surprise them with some more complicated techniques. She’s also less of a trash talker than Ed, which makes her a bit better of a human being–it’s funny for me to pass judgment, since I talk trash about everyone. Good luck Tiffany!!
It’s another night after the torturous seemingly neverending Bachelor Pad. I’ve got another episode of Dating in the Dark and another chance to watch the “experiment” where losers go date each other on TV in the dark. Like last week, I’m going to rank the best couples on the show.
4. Brian & God
Good luck with that Brian. There might be some other avenues you haven’t explored yet.
3. Lisa & ?
Poor girl! Perhaps there’s a reason why a super hot, trim, well-groomed virgin didn’t want to be with her. You all might have some theories. I definitely have my own. I say Lisa stop putting your boobs front and center and maybe guys will stop looking at you like a Barbie doll. Good luck!
2. True Beauty’s Billy Jeffrey & Chelsea
They have a good connection mentally. Yet, it was surprising that he chose to go for her. I guess True Beauty really can make someone a better person. ABC’s changing lives.
1. Johnny & Nikki
Johnny, who struck me as an insecure, brash Bostonite with an unhealthy love for chains, and Nikki, the men’s hairstylist, are a great match. Will their love last beyond a reality show? Maybe it will stand the test of time or it lasted a few more days after filming ended.
Let’s be honest. With a show like this, it’s virtually impossible to predict who will go home. There might be one or two shoe-ins, but alliances and decisions change constantly. Thus, I’m going about this in a different way. I will instead rate which ones I hope will win and the ones that I hope will lose. I have to give a shout out to the Weatherman! He was actually my number 1, but he was eliminated. It’s a sad night in Houston.
13. Jesse Kovacs
I think he must carry the asshole douche gene or at least he wears the brand of douches around the world Ed Hardy. Seriously, how can any self-respecting cool man wear that? Now, every time I see him I’ll just think that he’s an Ed Hardy douche like Jon Gosselin.
12. David Good
Does this guy have much going on beyond muscles and stubble? I kind of doubt it. Oh yeah, he’s supposed to be a good kisser. He’s another one of the super macho guys who I’d like to see lose.
11. Kiptyn Locke
He’s just as douche-y as the above two. After his denial of a relationship with Tenley, I immediately changed his ranking and knocked him down a few. The last three guys are just interchangeable.
10. Ashley Elmore
I don’t have a strong opinion, which makes her boring.
9. Nikki Kapke
Despite being one of the elder stateswomen, Nikki is just a boring crybaby and incredibly boring to boot.
8. Peyton Wright
She seems to have a bit of a game plan and she has good taste in men. I’m not sure that this makes her worthy to win, though.
7. Wes Hayden
He’s a sneaky bastard, and I love it. It might be good to see him win the whole thing, but then it would be too easy. On his singing, is he really trying to ape Garth Brooks?
6. Natalie Getz
She’s the house whore and under her second man already. I wouldn’t mind seeing the pad whore win, but I just wish she’d stop believing that these relationships are legitimate. Be proud of your sluttiness not needy.
5. Tenley Molzhan
If she could grow a pair–a big hairy twosome, then I could start to like her and legitimately route for her. At this point, she’s adorable, but way too needy and lacks self-esteem.
4. Jesse Beck
He’s hot and well he’s hot. That’s all I’ve got.
3. Krisily Kennedy
This tough talking broad finally turned to mush after being kissed by a douche who didn’t even care about her. Poor Krisily! I want her to get pissed off and to come back fighting and bring all of those cool kids down.
2. Gwen Gioia
How old is she again? Well, no matter she should win one for all the old Bachelorettes out there.
1. Elizabeth Kitt
She’s the ultimate slightly psycho mean girl. In the last couple of episodes, she has made Tenley cry with just one cutting comment, threatened Kovacs into staying in a relationship with her, and gone into crying jags. There is so much to love about her. She’s an excellent villain and would make an even better winner.
In true dating reality TV style, today’s Ochocinco: The Ultimate Catch was a complete waste of time. We must now watch these women compete again next week, but we have the added bonus of more drama as the women gang up against Tara. At this point, it’s unclear if the bracket system still exists or if it has been completely eliminated. I’m going to do my ranking as if the bracket system no longer existed. He doesn’t always follow it anyway.
4. Tiphani Abney
She’s the sensible choice, but I just don’t see Ochocinco making it a go with her. She seems like a good girl, but he doesn’t seem to want that or at least his reality persona doesn’t.
3. Brittany Nielsen
Does he need another kid? I would think that his life is complicated enough with 4 children. Damn can’t football players invest in birth control?
2. Rubi Pazmino
She’s really attractive, but there doesn’t seem to be much there there, as Gertrude Stein would say. He seems to want a bit more fire from his woman, which leads me to my number one pick.
1. Tara Murphy
Although it seemed like Tara was headed home, Ochocinco can’t get enough of her. If she opens up just a bit next week, she’s won the game. Unlike the rest of the women, she’s the most intelligent. I’m not saying that she would be the best match, but she’d be the most interesting choice.
I haven’t been blogging about it, but I’ve been watching The Colony. To be more exact, I’ve watched a DVR marathon. Be that as it may, I thought the show deserved a post, especially since it’s not my normal reality fare.
The Premise
Now, in its 2nd season, The Colony set in Chalmette, LA, an area ravaged and abandoned after Hurricane Katrina, takes 9 “survivors” of an epic viral holocaust and forces them to create their own colony. For 50 days, they must battle against the elements and “others” to survive.
The Characters
Becka Adams
She’s the model who gets kidnapped. Can you get more cliche than that?
Jim Armistead
He’s a bridge-builder and crappy hunter-gatherer. He better get some skills soon or the producers will have to creatively give the colonists supplies.
Sally Dawson
She’s the mechanic of the group, who is also attractive.
Robert Deville
Do you like my hat? No, your handlebar moustache.
The Louisiana man has good advice, but can’t help people find food.
Sian Proctor
The geology professor has a pretty blah personality. I’m not really sure how she has contributed to the group.
Reno Ministrelli
Reno brings the sexy and the building skills. His smoker was a bust, but hopefully his windmill will be more successful.
George Willis
Although the inventor has been accused of laziness, he built a forge. I think that’s pretty cool. He’s also losing his mind because of starvation. That makes him double cool.
Michael Slover
Is it just me or does Michael seem like a Larper? I think he’s on his ultimate larping mission. Good for him!
Amber Williams
The logger seems like a tough cookie, but she crumbles easily. The jokes just don’t stop people.
The Evaluation
The show has one strength, which is also its weakness. It takes itself too damn seriously. I like that the show seems real, but I’m not so gullible that I’m not constantly questioning its validity. The show is entertaining, but I just don’t know what the point is. Why would these people want to torture themselves? Anyway, I’ll keep watching this one. I actually want to know how it will turn out.
I’ve now watched the 4th and 5th episodes of MasterChef. This show marries American Idol with a cooking contest. It changes the pace for this type of show, but also slows it down. Only now are we getting to the real competition between the contestants; thus, I’m ready to rank.
10. Slim Huynh
She’s just limited and has a clueless stupid look.
9. Faruq Jenkins
He’s a crier, and he makes a lot of stupid mistakes not a good combination. He also gets way too much face time. If he became bitchier–this show is definitely missing bitchy contestants, then I could see giving him so much camera time.
8. Tony Carbone
He doesn’t seem to have much skills. His time on the show is limited.
7. Tracy Nailor
I don’t have much of an opinion of this woman yet.
6. Sheetal Bhagat
I would love to eat her Indian food. I think that’s the only reason why I’m choosing her.
5. Whitney Miller
There aren’t many strong women on the show, which is quite regrettable. Although she doesn’t have range, she does have skills.
4. Sharone Hakman
He’s attractive and is doing well so far. I don’t mind if he sticks around for a while.
3. David Miller
Although he’s cocky, I do think he has some skills. I’m not sure if he’ll actually make it this far, but I’ll give it a try.
2. Jake Gandolfo
The tough looking construction worker who cooks with finesse is a nice stereotype buster. I hope he can keep it up.
1. Mike Kim
Ever since his audition, this guy has cooked well and thoroughly impressed the judges. I give him the win. Good luck!
After watching last week’s episode, I decided that this crazy dating show was worth blogging. As the title states above, I want to rate the best couple, which would be the one that I feel actually has some success in the daylight. As a side note, I think it’s funny how everyone keeps referring to this reality show as an experiment. Really? Are scientists studying this and collecting data? I doubt it.
4. Joshua and no one
Because of his strange ways (marry a virgin, date a whore) he ended up by himself. Poor Joshua.
3. Summer and no one
The international supermodel decided not to go for Michael. Oh yeah on that whole international supermodel thing–no one knows who you are. Anyway, supermodels don’t generally pose for Playboy because it could affect modeling gigs in the future.
2. Michael and Becky
I actually don’t have as much hope for this couple. He made the right choice, but at the same time, I could see that he might regret it. He just doesn’t seem completely serious.
1. Christian and Karolina
Unlike the rest of couples, these two are a great fit. They seem like they’ll make a great couple, assuming that people could actually fall for each other on a reality show.
