Amazing? Not so sure.

I'm not ashamed to call myself a reality junkie. I give all new shows a chance and have my usuals I watch every season like Survivor, The Apprentice, America's Next Top Model, Bachelor/Bachelorette, and The Amazing Race.

This year's race is anything but amazing...and frigin' all stars? If I have to hear Mirna and Shmirna yell at each other one more time just give me a gun so I can put myself out of my misery. Thank god the frat boys left when they did, I don't think I could handle that bald guy bitching about every little thing one second longer. Don't get me wrong I know it makes for great TV and I love the drama however, this past Sunday I was anything but impressed. How could my favourite reality couple go from first to last and actually be eliminated? Rob and Am-Ber had a bad leg, but geez, it should have been a non-elimination round. CBS will realize this after they see their neilsen ratings plummet next week but I will probably still be watching and bitching about Ramber not being on the race anymore. One question whichstill amazes me is "where are the hippies?"

Don't even get me started on The Apprentice - Donald is done, move on, give up. He should throw in the towel now before he finds himself living in a tent. I only watch it because it's so bad, this show gives marketers and the business world a bad rap. Hey, let's plan an event for a half-time show and let's make sure the story is too difficult to follow and let's definitely not align it with the company's brand...that will sure for land us back in the cold and rain...we'll show the Donald who's boss. Think again. It's so bad, it's good.

While I'm at it (and keep in mind I haven't seen this weeks episode) - where the hell did Tyra find this year's models? I feel like I'm in some strange twilight zone stuck between handicaps and just plain ugly people. Where do people like Jael and Kathleen come from? I mean, Kathleen - you're a hairdresser...try cutting your own bush every once and a while.

Okay, I could keep going on for hours and it won't get any prettier so I'll stop while I'm ahead.

I forgot to include one of my favourite reality shows - Rockstar! Hopefully they will be coming out with a new season soon as it is in a class by itself!

I hate to admit, but I'm stuck on the ANTM too (I'll blame Vone), and I totally know what you're talking about. Jael sounds like they just took her out of rehab, Britney's about as emotionally balanced as a three-wheeled dump truck, and I can't wait until the Russian chick get's kicked off because they discover her online porn site. It might be an ugly season in more ways then one, but me thinks we're at least in for some fun drama!

Apprentice is SO bad. Trump has and always will be a complete idiot. The first few season had great characters and great staff - i.e. George / Caroline to not just be YesMen in the boardroom and keep him quiet. Now, it's all about Trump, and he's exposing how big of an idiot he really is.

Hey Trump - You're Cancelled!
