I have been wanting to go on a cruise for a while but I haven’t made any definate plans on actually going. Luckily, there is a new show about cruises on tv.
My first impression of the show, Shipmates is that it is the absolute worst “blind date” ever on a trash TV show. For some insane reason I just happened to turn on and watch it. It was so bad that I actually had to log on to right about it.
It is a show that takes place on a ship where they set up 2 strangers from a date for those that haven’t seen it.
This episode featured two young 20 somethings. The guy was a model, a bit cocky but not really overbearing. The girl was total cattiness in a good-looking body. So my first impression on women is that they are all good-looking but have a pension for total and utter hatefulness. At least right now I don’t think all women are predisposed to violence though cattiness is definately a factor. Women are catty (according to Shipmates).
The date took place over a couple of days and wasn’t going great from the get go. The guy kept being the nice guy but she was vicious. And I do mean vicious. So women tend to be so catty that they are the equivalent of the hate mongering cartoon characters. Hmmm, This could be bad. The viciousness with no apparant motive is a quality of comic book villains and old b-side types of cartoons all women must be that way at least if you watch much trash tv.
During breakfast after a particularly nasty episode (she had ordered a pre-breakfast so she could center her general attention on her overall spitefullness during the planned breakfast) where she was picking a fight with him. The guy said something along the lines of, “you just want me to kiss your ass.” It seemed a typical response to her general vindictiveness.
She got up from the table, threw her glass of water at him, his glass of water at him, and then ran over to another table and got a pitcher of water which she threw at him. Nice rational response, methinks. She screeches at him and turns into total ghetto trash. All women must be ghetto trash. She was the only women that they showed during the show, but there were a few men in the various backgrounds in their scenes. Perhaps they were on a gay cruise and she was the only woman. Still, the immaturity that she displays doesn’t seem to have an equal. So now women are all immature.
The guy takes it in stride to confirm my suspension that even though he was cocky, he was still generally a nice guy. He was obviously very good looking being a model and all. He must have been a poor model though, which is the prelude for the penultimate scene.
I am guessing that the “dates” get the free 3 or 4 day cruise only if the show gets all the segments done. If he had the money he should have dropped her right there and forced her to pay the rest of the way on her own. I am not going to supply any of her dialogue but let it be said it made the clerics in the dark elf trilogy that I recently read seem like good samaritan nuns.
The final scene: They are eating at a nice seafood restaurant on land somewhere. Cut to the totally quiet dinner table. She is seething and giving him glances of really dirty looks. He is sitting calmly and obviously ignoring her. Cut to the next scene. He looks at his full glass of water and then pops up and splashes its contents directly in her face. I couldn’t say that I didn’t think she was deserving of that if not more (like a prison term). So now women deserve to have water splashed in their face. Hmmm I don’t like where this is going, but since it is tv, it must be true and equally applies to all women out there.
You would think it would end there but her prison roots show. She grabs a steakknife from the table and chases him across the room, swiping at him in an obviosly practiced motion repeatedly. He catches her hands somewhat easily and she starts clawing, punching, kicking, and generally trying to hurt him any way she can possibly get at him. The staff of the restaurant catch her and hold her back. She fights with them some too. Note, no alcohol appeared to be involved at any of these times. So now all women are psychopaths. I didn’t think it could get worse but now I know to steer clear of any woman who goes on a cruise, especially if it is a gay cruise sponsored by Carnival. I was looking forward to going on a gay cruise sometime too. The only woman on the gay cruise was way too violent so any women who go or want to go on cruises are predisposed to murderous rages. Ouch!
The final scene you see them outside. A police officer holding her back as she tries to dash at him with some form of harpylike fury. She threatens to kill him repeatedly. Tells the camera crew she knows where he is staying on the ship and will get him later so he better change rooms and generally says many things that I believe could give her a prison sentance. If only it happened. Now it appears that women would most likely formulate a plan for some type of midnight murder (not so mysterious) mystery. I am glad I am not on the receiving end of that one. But then again, I haven’t been on a gay cruise and tried to pick up the only woman there.
The last “postcard” scene where the "contestants get their final say she says, “be lucky that I wasn’t taller or I would have cut you, given you a fat lip, busted your eye and killed you. Asshole.”
He said in his erudite manner, “oink, bitch.”
Now if all I learned about women came from trash tv, I woudl think think that all women are some type of hormonal nazi ghetto trash bent on the destruction of generally nice people whom they bring to their worst side.
Sigh, I am soooooo glad I am gay that way I don’t have to deal with near homicidal women especially if they are on an all gay cruise. I don’t think I will take one afterall.
