Well, it turns out that the boorish behavior our boy displayed last night wasn’t an anomaly: Imagine my astonishment.
When will the producers learn that “can he hold his liquor” is a test that should be administered before renting the mansion and hiring the camera crew?
Why even subject yourself to such nonsense. I simply cannot fathom why so many sit and enjoy these shows. I know I’m being a prick, but I’ve never watched shows of that nature and refuse to.
I beg you to join my ilk and refuse and resist shit. Come on, you can do it. Read something by Vonnegut, Thoreau, hell, stephen king, just stay away from reality tv…
How do you know you won’t like them then? Don’t harp on others for watching something you’ve never exposed yourself to.
I’m not harping on anyone damnit. I’d probably like to watch pigs bang eachother if I took the time to sit a stare, but I have better things to do.
Furthermore, if I want to waste my time on tv it’s going to be something worth watching, not some mindless piece of trash that is empty, shallow and pointless(hold on, thats’ most of what I watch on ifc).
People can view what they please, I just cannot see the allure in bullshit like this. Sorry if you feel you must mediate whilst I harp on others…
You have better things to do? Then go do them! Didn’t we just have a pit thread about assclowns that come into a thread about something they don’t like just to slam it? Get off the high horse, you’ll get a nosebleed.
And by the way, it is possible to read books, watch IFC and sometimes enjoy a piece of brain-candy or two. My enjoyment of shows like this usually comes from mocking it. I’m not really a drooling imbecile who is hoping that he’ll find the woman of his dreams.
And as for the actual topic (which Govindha has ignored):
I’m astounded that the producers of these shows haven’t improved their background checks by now. Look at all of the shows with contestants who have had legal problems or who have at least lied to producers: American Idol, Temptation Island, Who Wants to Marry a Multi-Millionaire, Big Brother, etc.
However, in this case, is it because military records are sealed?
Obviously not all that well sealed, if it took the folks at the Smoking Gun a week to find out about this.
I like this trashy show. Hard to believe that 15 women could absolutely humiliate themselves on TV, though.
I’d smack him in the head for kicking off Stacey. She was hands down the best of the bunch. Hopefully we’ll be seeinng more of her in Playboy (pun intended).
It’s kind of an interesting case, because he apparently didn’t have the rank he should have, if he did JAG school and completed it. So anyone who knew that would immediately be suspicious, while the average non-military person wouldn’t have a clue.
I think the various networks should simply hire the Smoking Gun to do their background research on all their reality contestants for them. They obviously are doing a better job than the networks themselves are.
Well, the premise of the show seems ridiculous–what girl would pass up the million bucks? If she really does like the guy, then she can contact him after the show and get a relationship going; I’m sure there’s no way the show can force the two not to marry or cohabit or date after the show.
If I were the guy and she chose me instead of the money, I’d be upset that she didn’t adopt the above strategy.
According to the all-news radio station, our boy has been fired from his job at a Dallas law firm. Oh, excuse me, he wasn’t an employee there, just an independent contractor with an office,as we can read here.
Heeeeeeee…
I think FOX is slotting that into the fall lineup.
Yes, but a simple contract could force the woman to relinquish the $1 million if she enters into a relationship with him, which I’m sure is what’s in place.
What amazes me is that any percentage of the American populace still believes the people who make television are actually any smarter than the guys sitting your average corner bar. If they were smart, they wouldn’t be in television, they’d be nuclear scientists or making millions in business or something. As for military records being sealed, it’s common practice to ask for a former serviceman’s form called a DD-214. It basically details how he left the military and is sufficient proof that he served to begin with. But I’m unclear on whether this incident caused him to be dishonorably discharged or not. The article says it “basically ended his military career,” but that’s pretty vague.
What I think is funny is that after he groped her, the woman in question kneed him in the groin. Go Navy!
When I saw the drunken groping, I thought “Wow, what a great idea, story-wise - now the women are going to have to decide if a million bucks is worth marrying a boor!”
I thought the premise of the show was that they win the guy AND the money. If it’s a choice, I haven’t heard about it - maybe it’s a twist meant to come out at the end?
Personally, I think the network knew all along. Can you imagine how many more people are watching this show now, vs. before the scandel broke?
It’s no big secret that tv network execs would probably sell their own children off if it meant getting good ratings. They won’t think twice about exploiting the hell out of some chump willing to make an ass out of himself on national tv.
Now it’s just a matter of how much these sad, sad women are willing to take for that million bucks.
Hey nutty bunny, I’m off my high horse you prick. Only because you knocked me off. Thanks alot. I ignored the thread, so what? Also, I rarely if ever go to the pit so I didn’t see that thread. Forgive me, I’m usually to busy harping on others to actually view every thread.
“Ting-a-ling you son of a bitch”
Damn, was I just so spot on in my assessment that no one else felt the need to comment?
I’m good
Well, many of them are making millions in business “or something.” And that “something” is television. Doesn’t necessarily make them geniuses, but someone who comes up with a television show that millions of people watch (no matter how stupid that show may seem to some of us) is no idiot. They’ve certainly done something that “the guys sitting in your average corner bar” haven’t.
