Lorenzo Lamas? are the other members of the panel a blind woman and a Native American?
I remember being shocked and horrified when I heard about The Bachelor. I posted about it here. Unfortunately, I think I used up all my outrage then. After that, I don’t anything would surprise me. TV panders to basest human interests. In other news, Pope Catholic, Bear Shits in Woods, Frog’s Asses Found To Be Watertight.
I thought it was a slave auction, especially when they checked that guys teeth like a thoroughbred race horse. His teeth looked fine to me. I’m surprised Lorenze didn’t pull out a tape measure and calipers to measure dick size.
Yes, but on the bright side, this show was responsible for one of the funniest pieces of unintentional comedy I’ve seen in a while. I’d like to quote (as best as I can remember) one of the contestants during one of those pre-auction interview portions:
“Well, what surprises a lot of people is that I’m this attractive and I’m also highly intelligent. Most people just assume that I’m shallow and not very smart because of my looks, but then they are totally shocked at how smart I am once I begin to conversate with them.”
And no, conversate is not a typo. I was rolling on the floor it was so funny.
I just can’t bring myself to watch this. It brings back horrible high school flashbacks. I just can’t imagine a more complete and utter humiliation than to have my entire being scrutinized by a panel of judges who then point out each flaw with a laser pointer.
Then again, I secretly would enjoy seeing some people getting taken down a notch. Preferrably some of the same aforementioned fellow high school tormentors. If not them then some of the “don’t hate me cause I’m beautiful and I can’t help it if I have flawless skin, enormous breasts, and a size 2 just hangs on me” bitches that seem to be everywhere.
It was like a cauldron full of the most reprehensible specimens known to humankind. I don’t have words for what a shitty concept this is. I saw it for the first time last night, and I won’t watch it again.
That reminds me of a sound bite I heard on the radio from a Miss Australia (or something similar) pageant contestant. It was something along the lines of:
“You don’t just get judged on beauty. They judge you on your articulation (“your articulation” sounded like “reticulation”), diplomacy and intelligment. Those are the four things that you get judged on.”
From what I understand, that is an actual show in Japan. No kidding.
I thought the other guy was more Simonish, he seemed like an even bigger jerk then Lorenzo.
I liked show where they would take your car, and you gamble it, but if you lost they would crush it.
Now I would kinda like to see that.

I don’t have a TV.
A while ago, my mom sent me some money and told me to go out and get myself a TV, as a present from her. So I did.
A couple days later, I returned it. I didn’t get any reception, so I would have needed cable, and I honestly couldn’t be bothered.
I am so not regretting this now.
(Although I suspect that someday I will see this show at CrankyAsAnOldMan’s house: she has previously exposed me to The Bachelorette and, horror of horrors, Showgirls. I hear she made magdalene watch Glitter, too.)
Up next on Fox, “Fucking for Dollars.” Two strangers go at it, and you pick the position!
What show is this?
What made me sickest, when I reflect on the TWO HOUR SHOW, is that when they narrowed it down to 32 people from “HOT ZONE 1” (the Northeastern U.S.), they brought them out and made them stand under a big sign that said HOT/NOT and the audience would cheer or…and here’s the best part…BOO or LAUGH at each contestant.
So here’s a woman, not a supermodel, but, in my opinion ‘pretty’, relatively thin, nice curves, nice chest, healthy hair, and the audience actually POINTED AND LAUGHED at her until the sign BLINKED NOT.
“I’m sorry, you are NOT HOT” is what the host said.
Am I Hot or Not. It was on ABC last night.
Looks like the show is called “Are You Hot?”
Am I Hot or Not is a website… that is why it seemed weird to me…
Well, I apologize then. But the whole concept of the show hinged on the phrase “Are You Hot Or Not”
The same network that brought you a show about relatively normal-looking people getting cosmetic surgery, and called it Extreme Makeover.
Owned by Disney, of course.
