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."

"Clowns" |
In yesterday's Tampa Tribune, there was an article about Jon Weiss--of the Clowns. He is the human cannonball with the Ringling Bros and Barnum and Bailey Circus. It mentioned his stint with Al on the Amazing Race. It said Al was a former clown, as was Jon for several years. Anyway, it was a really nice article. It was bylined Houston by Michael Precker of the Dallas Morning News, so it may have been in those newspapers too. Sorry to see them eliminated, and even sorrier after reading about how nice he was, travels with his wife and three children, and his wife is the one who fires the cannon.

The only real problem I have is that we all do or say things under stress that we would not ordinarily do. Too bad some of us on the boards forget that when bashing. HHmmmm.As for their relationship, between them, not us. I think any pair that breaks up deserves our understanding and sympathy, not bashing. Having said all this, yes, they are easy targets and yes they should behave better, but they are human and make mistakes. Personally, think Kelly has more bashable qualities, but alas, I don't truely like bashing so rarely even look in this section. "Do you know, I always thought unicorns were fabulous monsters, too? I never saw one alive before!" "Well, now that we have seen each other," said the unicorn, "if you'll believe in me, I'll believe in you." Lewis Carroll; Through the Looking Glass

I respectfully disagree!Mr and Mrs Keithfan's relationship is probably between us, but we're not on TAR! R/C threw their relationship in our face with the blessing of CBS, knowing full well ahead of time that it would be controvertial. I have no problem with their lifestyle, but at the same time I have no remorse in mocking them either. You are right about saying stuff under pressure that we wouldn't normally say, unless their like most of us MidWesterners who just smile and nod and think to ourselves of 47 ways to filet the offending person A computer lets you make more mistakes faster than any invention in human history - with the possible exceptions of handguns and tequila.

Oh, I am well aware that they are under more stress than usual, and therefore have an excuse for doing/saying stupid things. But they're also on (inter)national TV, so I darn well expect them to expect to get bashed to bits by small-minded folks like myself. Heck, if I ever end up on a reality TV show, I will try to be the person most mocked/hated by the internet junkies.Incidentally, no matter how visciously I may bash a reality TV contestant, if I ever met them in person, I would be much nicer to them. May joke about the 'stupid' things they did, but hey - if you can inspire me to bash you, you're doing a good job entertaining me - and that's what TV is supposed to be all about! MEmacmur
