Watching Reality TV

Remember when Corey Haim and Corey Feldman were not only stars, but best friends too. In case you forgot take a look at the picture to the left. However now things are not so good with the former childhood stars/pals. Last year the two decided to do a reality show with A&E called the The Two Corey’s. Corey Haim moved in with Feldman and his wife. Apparently things didn’t go so well because at the end of Season 1 the friendship between Haim and Feldman was in disarray. Well Season 2 is in full swing and it’s a no holds bar look at the damaged friendship. Apparently nothing they say or do will be off limits. Well after watching the below video of Corey Haim having a complete meltdown on the set of Lost Boys 2, I gotta say not only is Corey Haim still a drug addict, you can clearly hearing him snorting something, but I shamefully admit my interest in their reality show has definitely peaked. I set up my DVR to record it. I know that is awful of me but it’s true. I did attempt to watch Season 1, but I couldn’t even make it through the 1st episode, obviously I should have stuck around because I have a feeling this show is full of drama. I love reality shows that are drama filled, especially when they star has been celebs trying to jump-start their careers. Although I like the drama, it is really sad to watch these two together now. But don’t take my opinion for it, check out the below video and tune into The Two Corey’s Sundays at 10PM EST on A&E.

Reality TV will be taken to a whole new level tonight when CBS premiere’s it’s latest reality show America’s Greatest Dog at 8PM EST. Yes you read it right, America’s Greatest Dog. The premises is twelve teams of dogs and owners will live together in a house while competing in challenges that will the owners on their ability to train their dogs. You will have pageant dogs and just normal at home trained dogs competing against each other. Each week the judges will eliminate one team, the last team of dog and owner standing will win $250,000. It’s Me or The Dog super trainer Victoria Stillwell is one of the judges. Other judges are distinguished canine critics Wendy Diamond and Allan Reznik. Jarod Miller will host the show. Now I have no idea who any of these people are, except for Victoria Stillwell, who I only know because my cousins made me watch countless episodes of It’s Me or The Dog when I visited.

I am constantly amazed at what new types of reality shows pop up. I have to say this one is, unique to say the very least. Granted I am sure there are tons of people who are extreme dog lovers who will find this show entertaining. Although I do like dogs, I really don’t have any desire to watch this show. I am not going to judge it either way since I have no intentions of watching it, so you tell me your thoughts. Is there anyone out there who is going to watch America’s Greatest Dog?

Tonight the roommates of Real World Hollywood will say good-bye to each other and that fabulous house. Hollywood proved to be just as scandals, fun, and entertaining as the other 19 Seasons, at least that is what I am told. I could recap the season for you, but let’s face it if you care then you watched the show, and if you don’t care then you probably don’t want read a recap about the season. That being said if you want to see what goes down as the doors close for good at the Hollywood house, tune in tonight at 10PM EST on MTV.

With the most current Real World season ending, only one question remains. When in the heck is there going to be another challenge? The Gauntlet 3 ended months ago, and I haven’t heard a peep about a new challenge. It was announced in March that the next Real World will be in Brooklyn, but not a thing about a new challenge. I want to see a challenge. To be quite honest I am pretty much over The Real World. Although I do have it on good authority that the Hollywood Season was pretty freaking good, I would so much rather watch the challenges. There is nothing like throwing together a group of people who are tying to keep their 15 minutes of fame and win some money at the same time. Lock them all together in a house with a pool and a never ending supply of alcohol and you have one heck of a show. So can someone please tell me if there is going to be another challenge and when? Oh and Real World Hollywood fans don’t forget to tune in this Saturday, July 12th at 2PM to watch the live reunion show. Rumor has it all 9 roommates will be there!

OMG was I ever completely off base in my Bachelorette predictions. First Jeremy came back looking for answers, not Graham. Then DeAnna picked Jesse over Jason. I am still in shock, happy shock but shock. When DeAnna stopped Jason from getting down on one knee, I felt sad and excited at the same time. Secretly all night I was rooting for Jesse because he was the underdog, and he was different from all the other guys. There was something about Jesse that you just go, come on give the guy a chance. So I was thrilled when she picked him. However, watching Jason leave was awful. Jason too is a great guy, in a completely different way than Jesse. When he was talking about how he wanted to be in love, my heart melted. How nice is that to hear from a guy, who is hot, fun, exciting etc. Yes I might have a little crush on Jason, (me and half of America I am sure). So Jason honey call me I’ll mend your broken heart. All in all I am very pleased with DeAnna’s choice. I think she made the right decision. I commend her for looking past the physical features of a person and taking the time to get to know Jesse. Turns out she did the right thing. If you watched these two on the After The Rose special then you know they are so in love. You can just tell by the way they are with each other. Maybe we can all learn something from DeAnna. Physical attractiveness isn’t everything, and sometimes the one you least expect to be attracted to will be the love of your life. Alright I know I got a little philosophical there. Sorry. So to wrap it all up, congrats to Jesse and DeAnna on their engagement and Jason call me. If you missed last nights finale and want to see Jesse’s proposal, click on the below link. You will need tissues though; it’s a tear jerker.
What did you think of the finale, were you surprised at her choice?

We all know that tonight DeAnna will choose between Jesse the snowboarder, and Jason the single father. But before we see who gets the final rose, lets discuss how the last two episodes have delivered complete shockers. I was blown away when DeAnna got rid of both Graham and Jeremy. Even though I think both guys are hot, I can totally see why she got rid of them. I would have gotten rid of Jeremy purely because his brothers were total jerks. I thought I had an overprotective brother, he’s got nothing on those guys. I am telling you I would have ran away as fast as I could after talking to Jeremy’s brothers. As for Graham, come on guy, you know what happened to her with Brad so if you really want her, love her etc, then just open up. It isn’t brain surgery; she was practically begging you to open up on your hometown visit. I would have gotten rid of him for that reason too. So with Jeremy and Graham gone that leaves DeAnna to choose from Jason and Jesse. Personally I like both of them, I really don’t have a favorite. I do however have a couple of predictions of how the finale is going to go. I think either she is going to choose Jason or that Graham is going to come back and she will end up with him. I say the Graham scenario because he was the one she really wanted, so I don’t fully believe that he is out of the picture, especially after watching The Men Tell All last week. Deanna and Graham were trying way to hard to prove they were done with each other. Again it’s just my opinion. Anyway if I am completely off base with the Graham scenario then I think she will pick Jason. I just don’t see her picking Jesse and I can’t really explain why cause he’s a great guy. I will say though, the promos show Jason crashing Jesse’s visit with DeAnna’s family and if that is truly what happens I will have no respect for Jason. I have always been a Jason fan, he is cute, funny, and there is nothing like seeing a man with his child, but he would seriously lose points in my book. So if Jason is a crasher I would hope that DeAnna picks Jesse simply because that will prove he is more respectul than Jason. Respect is a must. All that being said, we also know from the promos that both guys propose, so Jason or Jesse, who do you think DeAnna will say yes to?

I know it isn’t really a reality show, but I just have to write about The Soup. The hit show on E! is beyond hysterical. Host Joel McHale can mock just about anything but in a funny, not demeaning sort of way. Any and all news story, celebrity gossip, movies and television are free game. Although I think the entire show is great, the real reason I am writing about The Soup is because it has a great reality clip segment. Joel and his team manage to find the best clips of reality tv from the current week. Not only do you get to see clips from shows you don’t watch, but Joel is always poking fun at them so it’s highly entertaining. The Soup is really just good old fashioned fun mocking of whatever is happening at the moment. The Soup airs Fridays at 10PM EST on E!. I realize many of you are not home at 10PM on a Friday night, so DVR it, that is what I do. Honestly it is just mindless entertainment, and who can’t use a good half hour of mindless entertainment at the end of a hard week. Tonight is probably a rerun, but set up your DVR anyway, it will give you a good idea of what the show is all about.

Now that I have given you the lowdown on The Soup, I want to take the time to tell my readers to have a happy, safe and extremely fun 4th of July.

In anticipation of the season finale of Real World Hollywood, MTV will air a six-episode marathon on July 4th,11AM EST to 6PM EST. The marathon will be hosted by the roommate you all love to hate Back to New York’s Coral, and we all know when Coral is involved it is definitely must see TV. As if Coral’s commentary on the Hollywood season wasn’t enough, she is going to have a few friends there to help her give viewers an exclusive sneak peek as to what it is really like to be a Real World housemate. Frank-Vegas RW, Paula-Key West RW, Brooke-Denver RW, Wes-Austin RW, and Katie from Road Rules Quest will all join Coral as they reinvent the marathon format with their addictive catty commentary. I am not really sure why Katie is there since she was on Road Rules, not Real World, but she can definitely bring the drama, so I’ll go with it. Like I have a choice right. So if you missed an episode, or it looks like it is going to rain on your 4th of July fun, catch up with Real World Hollywood. I for one love the Real World marathons and with Coral and friends hosting, this one will not disappoint. Also don’t miss the suspenseful season finale of Real World Hollywood Wednesday, July 9th at 10 PM EST and the first-ever LIVE reunion show with all the housemates on Saturday July 12th at 2PM EST. All the Real World fun begins tomorrow.

Well it looks like Tila Tequila did not find love the second time around. Actually she thought she did, but it turns out that her chosen on Kristy Morgan didn’t feel the same way. Apparently living in the mansion with all those lesbians and straight guys made Kristy see what kind of woman she wanted to be. Kristy admits the whole experience caused her to emotionally break down. However Kristy is not done with Tila yet, the two will meet again at the reunion show on Tuesday at 10 PM EST on MTV. Does this mean that there will be Season 3 of A Shot at Love With Tila Tequila? I am willing to bet that we will hear an announcement any day now from MTV. I wonder how many seasons it will take Tila to realize that perhaps trying to find love on an MTV reality show is not the best way to find a soulmate. I mean after all it is about finding love right, not about having her 15 minutes of fame.
Can I ask one really important question here, does anyone even care about this show? Are there people out there who watch it? I watched about 5 seconds of one episode and it was beyond awful. I couldn’t tell if I was watching a reality show or a porno. I was disgusted. So why am I writing about it you ask, well cause it is reality tv news. And as I have said before it is not only about me. That being said I would love to know who out there is watching this show and why?

ABC debuted 3 new reality shows the week of June 23rd.
Wipeout which airs on Tuesdays at 8PM EST looks hysterical. 24 thrill seekers compete in the world’s largest extreme obstacle course specifically designed to provide the most wipeouts ever seen on television. Each week the contestants will go head to head in 4 rounds of unbelievably grueling and painful, yet hilariously funny obstacle courses in the hopes of winning the title of Wipeout Champion and $500,000. If you have seen the promos for this show then you know what I mean when I say it looks hysterical. If you are looking for a good laugh I definitely think you should check out Wipeout. I have this on my DVR to watch and will let you know what I think soon. However, if you have already watched it, let me know what you think.
I Survived A Japanese Game Show airs on Tuesdays at 10 PM EST. The show described as a reality/game shows takes a behind the scenes look at 10 Americans who are whisked away to Japan, only to find out they are there to compete on the ultimate Japanese game show. Some of the contestants have never traveled outside the US, which makes the results of this experiment even more hilarious. The winner will receive $250,000. After seeing the promos I can say it looks so so. I did not DVR it because in all honesty I don’t have high hopes for this show. But I could be wrong, it has been known to happen. If you watched it let me know what you thought.
Dancing Machine airs on Fridays at 8PM EST. You are invited to the biggest dance party of the summer, where ordinary people who are phenomenal dancers compete for a cash prize. Each week 6 people from all walks of life will compete in a series of one-on-one dance offs. Contestants are eliminated throughout the night by the studio audience. The final 2 of the evening will battle it out for a $100,000 and title of Dance Machine. Jason Kennedy hosts the newest dance crazed reality competition. We all know I love dance shows, and this one is great. You have a 70 year old grandmother and a 25 year old grave digger in a dance off to Thriller, what more do I need to say.
There you have it 3 great new shows on ABC for you to check out this summer. If you missed any of these premieres you can watch full episodes at ABC.com.

Recently I have started watching more reality shows on Bravo and I have to say I am impressed with that network. It seems like ever since the hit Queer Eye For The Straight Guy Bravo has been a real contender in the reality world. In fact Inside The Actors Studio is the only Bravo original series that is not a reality show. These shows are successful popular shows that have people talking. Infact I was trying to think of what kind of network Bravo was before it became success in the reality arena but I couldn’t. I honestly think the only reason I knew about Bravo was because my company used to own it before it was bought by NBC Universal. Now it seems like I am constantly finding a new good show to watch on Bravo. For example last night Bravo premiered its new season of Flipping Out, and now I have another reality show on my DVR. I confess I have not watched all of Bravo’s shows, but my favorite is Project Runway, along with my newly discovered shows Work Out and Kathy Griffin: My Life on the D-List. I tried to get into The Housewives of New York and Orange County, but neither one held my attention. However, I know a lot of people who love both of those shows and think I am crazy for not watching them. All this being said if you’re looking for some new reality shows, I would turn that dial to Bravo. For a full list o all of Bravo’s hit shows check out Bravotv.com.

America’s Got Talent is back for Season 3 tonight on NBC at 9PM EST. The colorful array of star hopeful acts will compete for the grand prize of $1 million dollars. The acts range from singers and dancers to magicians and ventriloquists. Last years winner Terry Fator, a ventriloquist from Dallas, recently signed a $1.5 million dollar deal with the Las Vegas Hilton to headline his own show. A new twist to the audition process was added this year with a “virtual audition city “ on MySpcae. Jerry Springer returns as host along with celebrity judges David Hasselhoff, Sharon Osbourne, and Celebrity Apprentice winner Piers Morgan.

The new season is being dubbed as the wildest season yet. I’m not sure what that means exactly but it definitely has me curious. I am going to admit right now that I have not watched this show before, however it has been highly recommended to me by a few people. Therefore, I am going to set up my DVR to watch it this season. So for those of you who have watched the show before, please give me some insight. For those of you who are like me and haven’t watched, I say give it a shot.
