Now,

I don’t want to write yet again about another vapid a*@ reality show but I just gotta. I must admit that I do indeed watch these. I ain’t afraid to say it but I don’t watch them all. At least I realize the vaprous nature of it all. It’s like the content just gets dumber and dumber as time goes on. I was watching the “Paris’ BFF” show and I wondered to myself why I watch it. Perhaps because it’s on a lot and I get bored easily. Anyway, let me loop all these shows in one because I don’t intend on filling my blog for the next 3 posts about how ridiculous I think these reality shows are. So here goes: “Paris’ My New BFF”, “Scream Queens”, “Real Chance of Love”. Here’s my critique of them all:

“Real Chance of Love” as you’ll read from my previous post, I just don’t like the title and wording. I think the guys should get a little more serious and stop competing with each other but inherently, I don’t have a problem with this show. It’s great for entertainment. Now, the other two shows I’m embarrased to say I actually watch from time to time. “Scream Queens” is just sacrilege to me. It’s like someone evil and perverted devised the show. I wonder why these females want to win so badly? Don’t they know that horror films are at the bottom of the barrel in cinema? You get next to no respect, the work is degrading as well as metally and physically exhausting. It’s really glorified, horrified pornography (ranging from soft to triple X depending on what you watch).  Now for “Paris’ My New BFF” there is just as much degradation endured by the contestants but with less sex. I mean, become Paris’ pet? Is that supposed to be cute? Wow, you’re lucky to bask in the overglow of such a controvesial star. Paris is affected and the show is affected. Where’s the humility? You’re just a person albeit rich. It’s not cute to liken people to that of animals. Scientifically we’re classified as animals but I’m speaking about the way it is: humans have more. We have speech, intellect (many animals are really smart as well but we trump ‘em. Hey, have them build a city), desires and will. God created us to be above all the creatures of this earth, maybe not in braun but most definitely in breadth. The fact that these females compete for Paris’ affection and good graces given the circumstances is pathetic. I would never compete for the affection of someone who basks continually in their own “glory” and likens me to that of a household puppy. Paris doesn’t want a friend, she wants another Chihuahua in human form. I can hear it now: “Dance puppet, dance!” “…and look super cute while you’re doing it too.” It’s so degrading. Money and celebrity mean nothing without love, respect, and companionship. (love is cheapened unless you respect the one you love) You may enjoy the money and fame for a while but I’m sure  — like everything else — it gets old fast. Why else would Paris start a show for a new BFF? It’s not like she needs the money! Or the publicity! Wake up people!

Peace and Love

Ok,

So I was watching this show on VHI (Real Chance of Love) and  I must say, it’s entertaining to a point but it’s mostly just dumb. It’s like it isn’t even about the girls but competition between Real and Chance. They just keep flip flopin’, they need to make up their minds. If you’re not familiar with this show, it’s based on 2 brothers who each have their own group of girls and the point is for each of them to end up with one girl in the end. They keep going back and forth between their own pools though and that isn’t what the show’s supposed to be about. It’s supposed to be about “love” (yeah right, as if you could fall in love with a complete stranger in this sort of controlled environment in a matter of weeks).

But my real issue with this show is the title. How illiterate do you want to sound. Really? “Real Chance of Love”? Tell me the producers didn’t all sit down, think about this, then decide to broadcast it as their pioneering header for this unconventional, brother to brother, parallelogram they got going on? Well, obviously they did. It’s so, so, so absentminded. I  might even say stupid. It just irkes me is all. I mean, you’re broadcasting to the public and that’s the best you could come up with? Why not “Real Chance AT Love” or “A Chance FOR Real Love” or “A Chance AT Real Love”? But the OF in the actual title doesn’t sound right. The show is working off the brothers’ TV pet names: Real and Chance (given to them by Tiffany from their time spent on the show “I Love New York”) so those words gotta be in the title because it’s about them. Fine, just sound literate. I shouldn’t even be watching these shows because they’re shallow and void of any real substance. But I’m a sucker for love (or any theatrical semblance of it) and I feel entertainment doesn’t always have to be edifying. In fact, entertainment rarely ever is edifying, at least when it comes to the media. But whatever. The producers, or whoever thought of that retarded title, need to sound like they got some sense outside of creating a totally shallow albeit entertaining show. I’m thinking Real and Chance might have thought of it themselves. In that case, I say — brush up on your grammar and common speech. It’s not that hard and anyone can sense that the phrase sounds funny. Whatever, it’s just annoying. How stupid do these people think their audiences are that they can add insult to injury by placing a retarded title on top of an already vapid show? Isn’t that what producers and editors are for? If your stars give you a title for their show, run it over. Say: “no guys, that doesn’t sound quite right, why not try it this way?” Common sense people.

Peace and Love
