Yes, it would be a poor idea to crack wise here.

There’s no doubt about the anus. (I’ve just always wanted to type that)

You beat me to it.

What this thread needs is a global search and replace function so all incorrect references to “vagina” (I hear it’s been mentioned here once or twice) can be changed to the correct “vulva” \</pendant\>.

She actually can sing from her diaphragm (paraphrasing Steve Martin–it took _years_ to learn).

You know, I was raised a nudist - spending summers at a cabin at a nudist camp - and _I_ find this show offensive.

What I don’t grasp is… what’s the perceived payoff for appearing on this show?

It definitely isn’t love. Is it supposed to lead to some kind of career in show biz? I dunno, I don’t see winners getting many legit acting gigs.

And are we really to believe people who’ve willingly walked around naked in public for days are horrified that people have somehow seen their privates?

What Princhester said. EVERY media nugget about outrage at something in a reality show is publicity hype.

If her goal was to prevent exposure, then you’re right, wrong approach. But we all know that wasn’t her goal.

This one time when you DO NOT want them to do a “How it was made” bonus on the DVD.

Ok we’ve already done naked wilderness survival and naked dating reality shows. And I know in one of the real estate shows (but I forget which one) they did an episonde set in a clothing-optional development.

I am _ **not** _ looking forward to the naked antiquing/junk-hoard-picking/pawnshopping, naked commercial fishing/logging, naked customizing/gunsmithry, naked business start-up competition, naked in Alaska and naked swamp people shows.

I have to admit, I’m baffled by the concept of the show.

I mean, I appeared on _ **Jeopardy!** _ (I lost). If you asked me why, I’d tell you that it was a chance to win a lot of money while having fun.

But appearing naked on a VH1 show CAN’T pay very much. So, what’s the payoff? On SOME reality shows, the payoff is publicity and exposure (most of the contestants are obviously aspiring actresses, singers and models who think it’s a good career move). But is appearing naked on VH1 going to get anybody any legit show biz jobs? I can’t see it.

So, what’s the motivation?
