PLEASE NOTE: The Reality TV World Message Boards are filled with desperate
attention-seekers pretending to be one big happy PG/PG13-rated family. Don't
be fooled. Trying to get everyone to agree with you is like herding cats,
but intolerance for other viewpoints is NOT welcome and respect for other
posters IS required at all times. Jump in and play, and you'll soon find out
how easy it is to fit in, but save your drama for your mama. All members are
encouraged to read the
complete guidelines.
As entertainment critic Roger
Ebert once said, "If you disagree with something I write, tell me so, argue
with me, correct me--but don't tell me to shut up. That's not the American way."

"This is why I hate this show" |
This week's theme night was "Songs of the 90's". My ears perked up upon hearing this. The 90's is when I started to find out what great music was about. Bands/artists like Nirvana, Soundgarden, Radiohead, The Wu-Tang Clan, Beck, Dr. Dre, Screaming Trees, Rancid, and A Tribe Called Quest were the soundtrack to my teen years. So I was certainly excited when I heard Ryan SuckCrest announce the theme.And then came the songs. Oh dear lord, these contestants have absolutely no imagination! The edgiest song of the entire night was when Nadia performed the Melissa Etheridge song...and that song ain't that edgy, folks! R. Kelly? Sucks! Whitney Houston? Again!!?? Leann Freakin Rhimes???? Would it not have been totally awesome to see someone put a unique spin on Soundgarden's "Spoonman"? But even that no good turd Constantine, who said he loved the grunge scene, chose a safe song(Bonnie Raitt's "I can't make you love me"). Dear God, I hate this show.

Hello Femme -You actually took my "one-liner" as inflammatory? Its one thing to mock the show, and i've done exactly that in the past, especially at the expense of Mikalah. What got me in the original post of the thread what the last line "Dear God, I hate this show." If that is the case, then why is bacon watching it? If he/she hates it so much, if it causes such frustration, then don't watch it. Then bacon comes back with "I'm posting here because I "DO" hate the show. What the hell are you doing here?" which implies this is a forum for bashing the show. Its much more than that. You write back at me for being inflammatory, but isn't the original post as guilty? geekboy

LAST EDITED ON 03-31-05 AT 02:03 PM (EST)Nope. Here's why: You pull out the trusty "I'm allowed to like the show" card and basically ask for impunity because of your love of the show. Bacon should get the same consideration that you are asking for. For the reasons you want amnesty for having the opinion that this is a good show, you should have held yourself in check before slamming him for saying something negative about the show. You can't have the double standard. If you didn't like what he said, debate it. However, it's not cool to arbitrarily decide that his opinion is less valid than yours. "I don't agree with you because..." is far better than, "You don't love this show, so you aren't allowed to watch and comment on it." He was certainly blunt in his response, but to divert to schoolyard tactics, you started it by doing to him what you immediately asked not to be done to you. I really didn't mean to pick a fight with you, geekboy. I just didn't think it was fair to pop in to pass judgement on Bacon, attempt to stifle his discussion, then demand a free pass for yourself, all the while not expecting him to react as he did.

What got me in the original post of the thread what the last line "Dear God, I hate this show." If that is the case, then why is bacon watching it? The obvious question here is Why do you care? If you want to praise the show, then go start a love thread. (But don't ask people not to post negative comments because then you'll only get a rash of them and then a huge debate over whether someone should be allowed to do that to your thread. If you don't believe me, check out the TAR forums.) Or you can post snarky comments in his thread. whatever. But please don't question bacon's right to watch a show he hates and post about how much he hates it. He's perfectly entitled and in fact, it's part of his charm.

I can see your point Bacon but you have to keep in mind the kind of show this is. 1. It's pop. How many of the contestants do you think even listened to the bands you listed? 2. Song choice. They have to keep in mind songs that will be right for them to sing. In the past some contestants have chosen songs because they are their personal favorites, but they weren't necessarily the right songs for them to sing. That has hurt them. 3. They are competing for votes and therefore have to keep their audience in mind.
