So much has happened in the world of Reality Television that it's bled over to the "real" world. I've said many times before that Megan Hauserman did not deserve her show, nobody wants to watch her promote her materialism and giving her a murder of millionaires (get it? a group of crows is a... ah, if I gotta explain it, it ain't funny... too soon, maybe?) to pick over was a bad idea, and then she proves to be such a fantastic judge of character that one of her victims/finalists turned out to be a jealous, sadistic, homicidal nutjob does not surprise me in the least. I don't want to say that her or Jasmine deserve to be murdered, but when you judge people you want to marry primarily on the money they make, what do you think you're going to end up with? Bernie Madoff was insanely rich by taking advantage of people. Don't you know the old adage, people? Somewhere behind every great fortune, is a great crime. But regardless, we were provided the mercy of Megan's show being cancelled. Sorry someone had to die for that to happen. If you check the Fame-Clock on Hauserman, she should be at 14 mins and 45 seconds, right?
My lovely wifey pulled me up for ripping on "Real Chance Of Love 2: Back in the Saddle" and said that if I continued to lob shots in their direction, she'd call me out on it. I'm kinda torn on it because she used my own words against me. I'm a huge "Heroes" fan, and I hate it when people watch the show and come on the 'Net to rip it down. She's right, so I'm not even going to waste my time blasting the show. I'll just say I hope it gets cancelled... soon.
So let me move on to something I do love.... Tool Academy. Oh man, the first season was a blast. I didn't think that show would be as fun as it was, but it is the best. I'm going to label the first decade of the new millenium the Decade of the Douchebag. I feel so sorry for people still in the dating world because there are slim pickings out there, and some of these "men" are just... fucking... terrible. So someone gets the idea to create a chance for these morons to get a clue, become good boyfriends, and earn $100,000 in the process. Oh, it's a formula for success.
I have to state publically that I don't watch these shows the same way everyone else does. While I revel in the drama, there are other aspects of the show that I use to test my abilities. Like reading people... these guys are being dropped in situations where they have to think fast and come up with some pretty creatives lies and explanations for what they are doing. I use it to see how people act/respond when they have to lie or try to deceive someone. These guys are all walking cautionary tales.
The guy pictured above is Josh, the epitome of Douchebaggery and the first contestant eliminated from Tool Academy. This Jerk-Off basically blames his girl for everything that's wrong in their relationship and is totally incapable of admitting to himself or anyone that he's a complete Tool. His elimination was one of the worst I've ever seen on ANY show. At the end of the show (if eliminated) you walk out the door of the mansion where all the women wait to see who was judged to be "Just a tool" as the tagline of the show goes... The woman then has the choice of leaving with her Craftsman or dumping him on the spot. This dude flat-out refused to walk out the door. The host was screaming "Get THE FUCK OUT!" at the top of his lungs, and security said they would physically remove him from the premises. All the girlfriends were outside trying to figure out what the hell was going on. Jamie, his poor stupid girlfriend finally went inside to get him. He tells her "You are making me look SO bad right now." and "Say 'I love you', just keep saying that..." The only thing he wanted was to not look like an ass. It was hilarious. This guy is on national tv, totally oblivious to the fact that he looks like an elephant turd, and somehow thinks he can spin this to look favorable in some shape or form. Wow. I'm blown away. I was not, however, surprised that she got in the car with him and left. Good luck, Jamie. You got one real piece of shit on your hands.
Tool Academy is my healthy reminder of everything I don't want to do, what I don't want to be, and how lucky I am that I retired from my Tool-ish behavior. Can't wait for the next ep. It's the "Fidelity" episode. I know a bit about that one... Seriously, I can't wait.
