While watching "Elimidate" last night, I came to a realization - the show sucks. The idea behind the show is good in theory - a guy takes four girls out, then whittles it down to one based on how the date goes. Makes for an interesting show, and in its infancy, it wasn't bad. But somewhere along the line, they stopped casting real people and started casting prostitutes and penises with legs. The show has now deteriorated into four skinny girls with large breasts hurling insults at each other while the walking hard-on stands there and bases his choice solely on which girl is most likely to give him a reacharound by the end of the night. It's so retarded. Last night, these two girls were sitting there calling each other sluts and stupid while the third girl (who actually seemed normal) just kinda stood there with a look of "oh my God, this is the dumbest thing ever." So when the penis says "you're kinda quiet, you don't have anything to say?" she responds with "I don't feel the need to insult the other girls to get your attention." At which point one of the whores starts trying to extract Mr. Penis' tounge from his body with her mouth. Not to be outdone, whore #2 tries to one-up whore #1 by giving the drunken erection an even more disgusting kiss. I'm absolutley convinced that if this show were on Cinemax, Whore #1 would've had her top off and her hand in the jeans of the dude. Whore #2 would've been so insanely overcome with lust that she'd have started coming on to the normal girl and turned her lesbian right there on the spot. Needless to say, when girl #3 refused to suck face with the guy, he cut her for "not competing." This led to a great conversation about "sloppy seconds."
Point is, I felt insulted watching this show. I don't usually feel insulted watching tv. Maybe I've turned the corner from immature boy to somewhat civilized man. Maybe the show has always been bad, and the only thing that's changed is my attitude towards it.
But actually, I think the thing that annoys me the most is that the show is supposed to be about a guy choosing a girl to date. This of course requires the assumption that the girl wants to date the guy. Actually it assumes that all four girls want to date the guy. The same is true with The Bachelor. Once the cameras are on, you could put Jared from Subway or Napoleon Dynamite out there - hell it wouldn't matter if the guy had a wooden leg and an eye-patch. They're not interested in the guy, just getting the most tv face time. When The Bachelor started off with two bachelors and the girls had to choose between the two, one of the girls literally said to the camera "I wanted the other bachelor, but now that Byron's the guy, I'm gonna do everything I can to win." No mention of "I want to marry this man, I think I could have feelings for him." It was all about duping this poor guy into falling in love with her. This is why none of these bachelor shows have happy endings.....nobody is there for the right reasons. Any show with competition dating innately flawed and should be put out to pasture. Or turned into a porn movie. (If the girls are going to act like sluts anyways.......)
Ok I'm done with that rant. Remember, an apple a day keeps the doctor away.....unless you're trying to lose weight to impress the doctor.
