The Surreal Life 1/11

Okay, I admit it. I succumbed to the trainwreck watcher’s mentality on this one. But damn…

First, Tammy Faye. I LIKE Tammy Faye. She’s mellowed out, toned down and gotten pretty cool since she dumped Bakker. She seems like someone I’d actually like to know in real life. Yes, she’s a little bit prissy about some things, but really no more than the average 50+ year old woman who’s spent most of her life in evangelical Christianity. And she doesn’t seem to really look down on most of her housemates like you’d expect someone so deeply Christian to.

Second, Trishell. Who? I understand she was on The Real World: Ho Vegas…er, Las Vegas. I expected to hate her as a prime example of empty-headed television fame-chasing-via-being-as-nastily-slutty-as-possible. She actually seemed pretty real, if a little bit of a lush. Of course, her battle with Spoiled Ego-Bitch (see below) helped me like her better.

Robby Van Winkle, aka Vanilla Ice. Someone get this man some lithium, please. One minute he’s so eager to put his old bad-boy rap image behind him, and the next he’s pitching hissy-fits in the middle of a farmer’s market because it’s not Shop ‘n’ Save. And the mooning? If I had gone my entire life without seeing Vanilla Ice’s ass, I could have died quite happy.

Erik Estrada and Ron Jeremy. I LIKE these guys. They’re has-beens, and they know and accept it. They’re mellow. They’re over themselves. They’re nice guys. Amazing! And both of them are very, very sharp with the wisecracks. I’m enjoying this mini-buddy-movie…

Oh, last, and oh so least…the psycho spoiled ego-bitch herself, Traci Bingham. Who? Oh, a Babewatch bikini-filler. She was on a jigglefest television series. And a number of z-list movies. Her career isn’t exactly impressive. And yet, she’s upset because the house isn’t what she’s “accustomed” to? She won’t bathe in the bathtub because it’s the wrong color? She doesn’t even spend the day with the rest of the housemates…is she shooting another Playboy spread? This woman needs a reality check, and fast…her “career” consists mostly of third-tier films, jiggle movies, shows ABOUT Baywatch, and guest spots where she plays such highlights of the theatrical genre as “Porn Star #7”. Please…

All in all, interesting, if banal. Upcoming events look…well, surreal.

Tammy: I own the organ that was in Frank Sinatra’s house.
Ron: I own the organ that appeared in many movies.
Rob Van Crazy (in the middle of a market): There’s no supermarket here! I looked all over! There’s no supermarket back there! That’s not sausage! Where’s the Parks!

Ron talking about how hot Tammy Faye is-- creepy.
Ron dancing with Tammy at the driveway–sweet.

I loved Tammy bellydancing! She’s so cute…and 15 years ago you could have knocked me over with a feather that I’d ever feel that way about her.

It was so sweet that Erik gave up his Princess bedroom for Tammy Faye.

Oh, and Rob Van Crazy’s (I love that!) theory of human origin…is he a Scientologist or something? Weirdness…

You know, after Vanilla Ice and the Boobwatch girl kill each other, I bet that will be a pretty cool house to live in. I actually think I would like Ron, Erik, Trishell, and even–perhaps this is one of those rare cases of temporary insanity–Tammy Faye.

I really hate “reality television,” but this one I think I’ll watch some more. Funny stuff. :slight_smile:

Tammy Fay- I like her and I’m suprised that I do.

Ron Jeremy-I like him too, he’s a funny guy.

Erik Estrada-He’s OK, it was nice of him to give the bedroom to Tammy Fay.

Vanilla Ice-This guy is freaking nuts.

Trishelle-There is something about her that annoys me.

Tracy Bingham-Major spoiled bitch.

Is it just me, or is that house the ugliest thing in the world ?

I didn’t even know that the show was on. Loved the first one.

I missed it, too, and don’t know if I’ll bother watching this one, but could someone fill me in on Crazy-Man Vanilla Ice’s “theory on the origins of the human species”? I’m curious about this.

I wanted to see this, but don’t get WB.
Is there any way I can see it online?

I didn’t catch the whole idea, but Vanilla Ice thinks that of us Earthlings are originally from a planet far, far away and far advanced from us and they put us all here.

dragongirl’s got the gist of it. Apparently there was something about an exploding asteroid and stuff, too.

Heh. Vanilla Rob also maintains we’ll soon be having lunch on Mars. That was an awesome moment. I like him better like that than raging about how much he hates his photograph on the wall.

The house is beyond nasty, but nastier still is the fact I really like Ron Jeremy.

Aw, c’mon! The Hedgehog’s a nice guy! So he’s shtupped 5000 women, more or less, for the cameras. Don’t get caught up in the porn star=sleaze trap. Jeremy’s got a brain, and wit, and apparently a very well developed…

…sense of courtesy. :smiley: Like Tammy Faye said Sunday night, he’s a total gentleman. He’s even kind of chiding Trishell for using coarse language to ask him about his career, and you know he’s doing it for Tammy Faye’s benefit, which is totally sweet.

Every three minutes I found myself saying, “this show is the greatest thing to happen to television since CHiPs.”

Looks like Ponch gets his rug ripped off next week. Can’t wait to see the ensuing train wreck.

I hope there really is a piano in the house so he can serenade Tammy Faye, or they go somewhere he can play. He sounded pretty decent in Porn Star, which was a pretty interesting watch. And waltzing with Tammy Faye was pretty sweet. Go Ron! He tried to twirl her and everything!

So, will someone tape it and send me a tape?
