I did this via chat. This might seem long to you, the hidden, unknown reader- Can you imagine how long this hour of tv seemed to me? I don't even like what is considered "good" reality shows. I think I deserve a medallion of a sort for what I endured tonight. Alas, here we go...
Lots of blondes- they just had a TH w/Jess
They listed her as Marketing rep from Philly
She's not as freaky as this chick named Taylin from oklahoma
Wow, some huge tits! on Lindsay. "Plastic for better living" if you know what I mean
They're all in push up bras and trashy short skirts
They're all in push up bras and trashy short skirts
Is Jess, um... natural?
(other chatter) Yeah.
This is what you get for asking me to do play by play-- me, asking about tits
(other chatter) She's kind of got an athetic/chunky build.
She's not really in this main group they're showing
Her hair is kinda hanging over part of her face over her left eye
Okay they're doing some choreography with her team
(other chatter) Her goal in life is for a wide amount of people to think she's hot and a whore.
They are ragging on a team of blondes and wannabe blonds. Cue the peroxide
It's hilarious because they don't know how to put a song and dance jig together.
This black singing coach says they will be tough to "break in"
"old dogs can't learn new trix"
He just said before a break "I've never seen a group do so badly, in my mind they were a catastrophe"
and CUT! to Jess dancing!
*commercial break*
They edited to show her after the black guy says that "do so badly" line is the first time they've had a close shot on her dancing, outside of the TH which was just a CU blurb
CMT music awards! monday april 14th!
*And we're back!*
CMT music awards! monday april 14th!
*And we're back!*
She's dancing- not well
Her hair is getting in the way
She's looking very busty
The black guy is saying the catastrophe about her group
Now the black team is up
Freaky woman has multi colored hair --she's 37!
Mauli B is the black singing coach -- they are picking "the best of the worst"
OOH, Tracy red head is getting picked on- not Jess
Man it's getting harsh
They didn't show any criticism of Jess!
They picked on 2 others in her group
Oh, they called Taylin the 37 yr old, the "old maid" of the group
"desperate to go back in time"- ouch, not good
Wow they just picked the other group to move on, so Jess' group doesn't go?
Before ads, they just made a blond cry
*commercials*
I wouldn't normally watch this, why am I here?
Wait- back from break, and they showed Jess sing
So I guess she's still on
And Mauli says now he liked old maid
Now he's being all nice to the gals not mean anymore
Man, they are being cruel to some blond
He called her tone deaf! Oh right, she is.
"not enough time to teach her"
Kelly! from the Nat'l Guard in Alabama, she's the crier they keep cutting to
Now they're all dancing
Now they're all dancing
And the woman said, "you're not dancing with a pole!" HA! love it.
Jacqui the choreographer
She's making all the girls feel bad
The red head is terrible!
She can't dance
Her name is Tracey from NEW JERSEY!!! is 32
I guess Jess is just in the medium
Not bad enough to get picked on but not at the top
It's night time. and so there's talking heads and "confessionals"
And shots of girls contemplating what they'll tell their friends when they get kicked off
*commercials*
That whole section with the choreographer was absurd
I mean some girls can't sing and some can't dance
I can only think of like 3 girls like Jess, who might be okay at both
But what do I know?
We're back!
They're giving out belts to the girls numbered 1-10
Now that's classy.
Now that's classy.
Sarah is #1
Sarah- 26 dancer from LA
#2 is Ashley, fake blond
#3 Jocleyn
#4 JESS!
Wow!
Coyote woman says "I hope your kindness and determination help you"
She's in the top 5! wow Oh lordy
Only #10 is gonna leave!
Is this a series? I thought they'd just pick one, in a single show. It's not like the pickings are ripe. Maybe CMT's desperate for filler shows?
Can't believe they're gonna keep this BS on for ... 9 more weeks?
Can't believe they're gonna keep this BS on for ... 9 more weeks?
So #10 was the redhead who can't sing or dance---figures!
#10, "nightclub promoter"- new slang for dancer/whore?
She's from Jersey - going home
They just showed a montage of the worst of the redhead
Wow, she was bad
Okay, I'm back. I apologize profusely for what you've just read. Do they show this as torture to Al Queda prisoners? I think I lost IQ points. I might need to read some chunk of the Bible to offset the hell that was the hour of TV I watched tonight.
I just have to vent: In what world is this entertainment? Why does anyone with a brain watch this, or American Gladiators, American Idol, ANTM etc? I think anyone who likes this stuff deserves to be dropped off the planet. Seriously. Sorry if it offends you. Stupid Reality TV is only watched by stupid stupid people who are wasting their lives.

I have to ask-- do you feel you gain IQ points by watching non-reality shows? Take "The Office" for example-- high entertainment value, yes, but I wouldn't say it's a very cerebral experience, nor is it one of remarkable intelligence any more than certain reality shows are.
We all have our personal preferences regarding which shows we watch-- some like reality TV, some don't. I'm not speaking for the validity of the CMT show as 'great television', but personal preference should hardly be mistaken for moral judgements. To say that "reality tv is for stupid people who want to waste their lives" is not only entirely inaccurate, but completely unsympathetic to a larger societal shift and cultural trend. I know you hate when I use the phrase 'critical analysis', but when making such broad statements, it's absolutely fundamental that you have the back end of it.
I don't watch a lot of reality TV myself, but I absolutely take offense to the entire tone of this post.
I don't think you understand how much I truly despise reality TV. It's not all real, or else you really wouldn't want to watch, and basically exploits people who think being on TV is actually an accomplishment, no matter how they get shown and if it's accurate. I stand by my blog.
"To say that "reality tv is for stupid people who want to waste their lives" is not only entirely inaccurate, but completely unsympathetic to a larger societal shift and cultural trend."
Why must anyone be sympathetic to larger societal shifts and cultural trends, if they're trending down? Must we be sympathetic to those who expect us to join the dumbed down? Reality TV is Humiliation Porn.
