I’ve been able to avoid watching most of this crap, but not all. We’ve had The Bachelor and The Bachelorette and their sequels, Meet My Folks, Temptation Island, Joe Millionaire, the one on the sailboat, now the one in the hotel, For Love or Money and sequel, and I know I’ve missed a few. But not one of the Ho Shows has, as far as we know, led to a marriage or even a serious relationship, so it’s not hard to dismiss every stinkin’ one of those people as actors performing roles.
Based on thread titles, I have the sinking feeling that the only people watching Who Wants to Marry My Dad? are my daughter and me. Apparently, given this batch of ho’s responses to the “lie detector” tests, the kids are eliminating anyone who has a real chance of having a real chance of a serious, stable, loving relationship with their old man. Instead, it looks like NBC is following Fox’s lead and having them pick the former Miss USA with the vast … tracts of land.
So is this as low as the genre will go? Can the power-lunchers in Hollywood come up with anything requiring even more self-abasement on the part of the “contestants”? When will this nightmare end, O Lord?
