reality television
<rant>
In the spirit of mr. jared eng (and to make up for exposing his dirty little secret
), I thought I'd comment on one of the newest reality television shows out there-- UPN's The Player. While the concept itself isn't so bad (as reality shows go), the execution has been terrible. is it just me, or are the the people in power trying too hard (the girls + celebrity guest over the intercom). I mean, they just sound like bad actors trying to speak and act in ways that they obviously aren't. We (the viewer) expect the "playas" to look ridiculous at times when they're trying to impress the girls but really, did no one notice how ridiculous the mystery intercom man sounds trying to act like he grew up on the street?! Don't get me started on Dawn either, who's stuck with a tired rip off from The Apprentice-- hyping a catch phrase. It worked for Trump because that's who he is but don't try to tell me that you'd ever hear dawn saying anything along the lines of "don't hate the playa hate the game" in real life. The best part is that jason got kicked off yesterday for being "unoriginal". Oh, the irony!
