Have they no shame???

I don't like reality TV...after the first season of 'Survivor' I was done with it....apparently it's spread faster than crabs at a seafood restaurant. (Haha...thought that was going to be racey, didn't you?)

Some people have no shame, no dignity, no common sense...especially when it comes to fame and fortune. Whores and ho's, and there's nothing we can do about it...they're desperate to get a piece of the action and they'll do anything(and from what you described, I'm not exaggerating) to get it.

Sad and pathetic, but as long as people watch it, it'll still be there.

Modern day prostitution.  Seriously, how is this anything different?  Other than the fact that these women don't have the guts to at least be honest and call themselves whores.

Disgusting doesn't even begin to describe it.

Maybe I should be glad I no longer have cable!  haven't seen this show and sure wouldn't want to!

You're not bad cause you watched it,  it's about curiousity and I'd have watched it too  to see what all the commotion was about.  I think that's how they get viewers,  we're curious and then shocked, so we can't believe what we just saw and tune in again and again,  wondering what'll happen next and then there we are.

I was put-off by the Surreal life,  to me it's like that rock start and his family,  they got a doggie or dogs leaving little piles and no one picks it up!  Jeepers!  No way, imho,  to be living! 

I do miss a lot of other channels though

 

Actually I watched the first series before this one in it's entirety. Those women were a lot better, imo, than these that I've heard about. The show was better then too because although they were going on and doing things, it wasn't as bad as I've heard these women doing. When I read Whip's blog about one taking a dump on the stairs I was amazed and I also didn't even know it was back on with new women til then.

I took a look for myself on the next one and didn't even watch it for 10 mins. I was disgusted and amazed at these ho's as I will now call them because they are acting no less than one in that profession would. You're right, I wouldn't even look at Flavor Flav, not even for his money!


I like Reality TV, there are some interesting shows out there. You just gotta know which ones to watch.

Exactly.  People seem to lose the good sense their momma beat into them anytime there's someone famous around.  I've been close to fame, and I never had the urge to drop my drawers and flash my tits.

Again, exactly.  Gold diggers are ho's, that's all they are.

That was Ozzi Osbourne, and I said the same thing to my husband when we saw those dogs crapping everywhere.  They're got a multi million dollar home with hand woven rugs...but they let their dogs crap anywhere.  I just don't get it.

He's not the most attractive man in the world, is he?  I wonder what those girl's momma's think of them?   

I'm ashamed that I watched it for as long as I did. I think anyone else who watched it should be ashamed too.

I've heard people wonder why they stare at things like that, and they say it's like watching a train wreck. "It's so hard to look away." I've done it too. But my brain can't handle too much of that, so about a year ago, I swore off television entirely. I know that's drastic, but it was a personal decision.

More to the point, what the fuck is wrong with America that we think this is entertaining and quality television.

Yeah, one big problem I have with TV is that I'd have to muddle through so much offensive crap before I could find any quality viewing, and by then my mind was already polluted.

*Sigh* Bye-bye, TV. I know for a fact I'm not missing much though.

Why is physical quality more worthy than financial ability?

How you look is something you're largely born with.  Most Americans, by contrast, are not born into wealth.

If the guy is a total creep in terms of personality, that's one thing. But to cast him off simply because he's not "good looking" strikes me as just as troubling as casting these women off simply because they like him for his money.

Maybe I should have clarified a little:  not only is Flava Flav not physically attractive, he's also not playing with a full deck, IMO.  I guess I shouldn't really have been surprised that HE would be willing to participate in something like this, it's right up his alley.  

I think that his appearance is germane considering that the show is all about physical apperance - it's a contest to see who can look the 'hottest' and get Flav's 'temperature' to rise.

We've got the full package of cable channels, and I sometimes find the same thing.  The old saying about '300 channels but nothing on' rings very true some days.  Some of the stuff that's being churned out under the 'entertainment' banner is really sad and sometimes grotesque.  I watch more A&E, Discovery, TLC, BBC in America, National Geographic, Discovery Times and History Channel than I do HOB, Showtime et al. 

 

I don't watch this show but even seeing the commercials, I wondered about these women. I really don't see that he is something worth fighting over. Of course, I don't think any of the bachelor's or even joe millionaire were worth fighting over on national television. There's a reason that done of these shows end with a happily ever after. It's not about truly finding a partner. I would die of embarassment if I had to poop in front of anyone. I certainly can't imagine ever doing it by choice in front of a camera.

I wonder what those girl's momma's think of them?

Have you taken a look at the MTV reality show "Date My Mom" (I think that's it). The guys go on dates with their prospective dates mother's and then the guy picks based on the mom. I've only watched it once, but there were moms hitting on the guys, girls telling their moms to mention their big breasts, all sorts of terrible behavior... Maybe it's the train wreck phenomenon, you just can't look away.

I certainly think that financial ability is something to consider in a pending relationship... this seems to go far beyond "he's a good provider," however.

I can't even go in a public restroom unless I'm ill and about ready to poop my pants, so there's no way I'd crap on national TV.  Ever.

I've heard of it, but I haven't seen it.  Now that you've mentioned it, I think I'm going to have to check it out..

I think that it's human nature to be slightly voyeur-istic and that's why these shows have done so well. People want to see how the 'stars' live, and they also want to be able to think that they're better or not as bad as other people.  Like my saying that I'd never crap on TV, for example.  That makes me feel superior to the gold-digging ho who DID do that, and I don't think I'm alone in feeling that way!

Maybe I'm the only person in the world who feels this way, but I don't think I've ever looked at a potential mate's financial ability and based my decision on whether to date them or not on that.  When we first started dating, Dave was broke.  I dated and married him anyway - and seeing as I was broke too, I can say with pretty much 100% certainty that he felt the same way.  (I guess I'm NOT the only person in the world who feels that way, huh?   ).  To me, money just isn't that important.  You can fall in love just as easily when you're broke as you can when you're rolling in it.

i think its due to brain overload, i just wanna zone out when watching tv these days, not think too hard, and just laugh

I get the same way occasionally. I don't want to watch TV that asks me to think, I just want to watch mindless garbage that makes me laugh - usually at how moronic people are. Jerry Springer is good for that, as are some of the shows VH1 and MTV churn out.

I'm disgusted at the behaviour of the women on the show - the one white girl who acts like she's black REALLY pisses me off. She behaves and talks in a way that makes her almost a caricature (sp) of black people...it's so sad it's almost funny. The other girls are just ho's, pure and simple. You know I'm not a prude, LW, but this show is, to me, beyond any kind of taste and is simply about prostitution.

I wonder what the losers on the show are going to feel like once they return home. They're going to be infamous for being whores - or acting like one. I wonder how their communities are going to welcome them home?

sometimes, i think that tv mirrors back to us what we are collectively.

the mere fact that such things can make it to national tv means there are people who watch them. currently, we have a lot of "reality" shows. maybe that is a kind of mass narcissism.
