I know I’m not the only one who watched this… 'fess up!
So they take a bunch of B and C list celebrities into a “haunted” location, and freak them out. I love it!
I stumbled on this tonight while flipping through channels. So we have Tony Little (fitness infomercial guy), Ethan (Survivor Africa winner dude), Traci Bingham Playboy model), err… and a couple of other semi-famous people in a hospital for the criminally insane! They make them go in teams of 2 to different areas of the hospital, once there tell them freaky ghost stories about what reportedly happened there, and film them as they completely psych themselves out into thinking ghosts are molesting them!
I saw an ad for this and was convinced it was some sort of a joke. Until I realized that the people they had on it were attention whores and would do anything for a buck and I was shamed into admitting I overestimated the “famous”.
I can’t believe the first group didn’t figure out that there were other people in the building making those noises. I mean, c’mon. Clear-sounding screams? Footsteps from fifteen feet away? Mechanical tigers? Wait…what does a mechanical tiger sound like?
And if you’re supposed to be investigating the paranormal, wouldn’t you want to, oh, I dunno…investigate those sounds?
In any event, being alone in a room with Gary Busey is all the scare I would need.
I distinctly remember the “Fear” episode where one of the teens had to sit in an electric chair, started freaking out, and one of the teammates kept saying, “You’re platinum, man, you’re platinum.”
To be semi-serious for a second, I do realize that these shows are the televised equivalent of playing with your own feces, but they hold a weird fascination for me. I have no idea why, either, but I can’t help but watch when I stumble across something like this. It’s kind of like being unable to stop picking at a scab.
To paraphrase Henry Higgins, it’s just so deliciously low. I equate it with rolling in nice, cool mud. Sure, it feels good and its fun squishing it between your toes, but when you’re done you just feel dirty all over. I watched this season’s “Flavor of Love”, and after each episode I felt like I needed to be treated for herpes.
I watch it. I also watched Flavor of Love so copping to watching this is not a big deal at all. I cracked myself up when Tony Little was on the walkie-talkie talking to someone (Rachel Hunter?) and he said “You can do it!” All I can imagine was him shouting that a la his infomercial “You can dooooooooo iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit!”
Also, Godfrey is an ass for leaving Rachel Hunter in the room by herself.
