Too much…horror…too much…can’t…form…paragraphs… Lorenzo Lamas is an international hearthrob? AND HE IS AN **EXPERT AT PHYSICAL BEAUTY?** A panel of three people will pick the sexiest people in the Nation? A woman claims being on this show would be 'the most funnest thing in her life?" The sheer arrogance of girls saying “I feel bad when I take attention away from ugly people?” and _it must suck to be ugly_ And most importantly…WHY CAN I NOT STOP WATCHING THIS SHOW? WHAT IS HAPPENING HERE? WHAT IS GOING ON? Someone get me some heroin or a syphillitic whore to take my attention from the screen. :: runs screaming from the room:: ---

Can you put that one a resume? “Proficient in CodeWarrior, XOR, OpenGL, Quartz.” “HOT per the stringent requirements of Lorenzo Lamas.” ---

Good lord - it just came on here. Frankly, the only thing left that I can imagine for a reality show is people fucking on stage and being rated by a panel of judges on their performance. I knew there was a reason I didn’t watch television. I need to bleach my eyes, and go read a book. ---

They keep on coming. I saw a spot for a new one the other night: **Married by America** , where you (yes, YOU, America) get to tell people who they have to get hitched with. Bleah. ---

Hold on here. This has possibilities. For instance, I want America to tell Michael Moore and Rush Limbaugh they have to get married. That’d be a great pilot episode. ---

**Kal** , I think it would be sweet revenge. After all you Brits are responsible for the original versions of _Pop Idol_ and _Who Wants to be a Millionare_, two shows that have been since inflicted upon America. ---

And the weakest link. But we have a version of that wedding live (or at least proposal-live) show on at the moment. Just started. But I haven’t watched it so I can’t really comment. Thnink it was called [“Surprise Wedding”](http://www.andtheylivedhappilyeverafter.com/17.htm). Is it a transfered US show? Says its from Fox, so I guess so. ---

That show was as compelling as it was painful. They clearly told Lamas to play the part of Simon from American Idol. And what’s with Lamas’s comments about the guys??? “Your body is hot and I really like your lips. You got it going on.” I felt really bad for the guy with the bad teeth. Did you see his lips quivering on close-up when that judge told him to open his mouth? “Wider! Wider! I can’t see your teeth!” I thought he was going in to apoplexy right there on stage. Like a preview at a horse auction. [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/am-i-hot-or-not/154979.md?page=2)
