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."

"Reality TV Memories: 2008." |
What images from the past Year In DAWs will you carry with you forever -- no matter how much you try to get rid of them?The ones that came to mind for me, in order: 1. Megan realizing she was about to be judged by a jury of people she'd made a career of offending and quitting on the spot just to take away the satisfaction they'd get from putting her out. (She got her own show for that one. You could sigh. You really could.) 2. 'Ace, freeze!' Glad you were paying attention out there, Ace. Wow, Randy must sound a lot like Sugar -- not. 3. Welcome to the Russian branch of The Ministry Of Silly Walks. There will now be a brief pause while Dan restarts both the Cold War and discrimination against the local Jews all by himself. 4. 'So here we are climbing up a long flight of steps on our hands and knees. What question could anyone possibly want to ask us at the top?' (Believe me, Dandrew could have walked off with this whole list.) 5. KKKristy can turn any song into a patriotic national anthem! Especially patriotic national anthems! 6. No one wants to talk to Piers Morgan while he's in chain mail. In fact, no one wants to talk to Piers while he's not in chain mail. Or for preference, ever. 7. We have seen the elephant! 8. Who wants to work for Diddy? Ideally, nobody. Who knew the devil actually wore Armani? 9. Bob? Shirt. Back on. Now. 10. Jason Castro, stoned on national television. Or maybe that's just the way he sings. Or doesn't care about how he's singing. Or he was inspired by Paula: someone had to be... (Don't worry: Maroonclown runs a very good detox program out of her chained-up basement.)

1. "Greatest exchange ever?" |
"I hit my head back there.""I don't care." "I know." The only other thing I really want to remember from People Who've Never Seen The Show Before Vs. People Who've Been On It And Still Don't Know What They're Doing was Ozzy's vote count of death: 4-1, 4-2, 4-3, 4-4, 4-screwed: Jeff's first outright masterpiece. The rest of the season can be flushed. (Oh, if only...)

3. "RE: Reality TV Memories: 2008." |
LAST EDITED ON 12-30-08 AT 10:19 AM (EST)Megan's delusions are many. 'I'm pretty. I'm smart. People live to serve me. I'm the perfect catch for a happy billionaire. My body type is the ideal one and I can freely look down on anyone who doesn't have it. Everyone thinks I'm sweet and funny in confessional! A bikini is the perfect outfit for every possible occasion. None of the rules ever apply to me. There's no such thing as karmic payback unless I'm the one doing it'... And that's just barely scratching the surface. At this point, the only possible explanation for her B&TG win is 'being up against a rabid piranha'. No argument that a jury was a surprise: everything was straight competition up to F3, and the last two fought it out in an extended challenge. I just don't know if they'll bother going it again now given that people might anticipate it -- Frank, who's in both casts, can fill them in on the fiasco -- and with Megan's insta-quit on the board as a possible response. I'd call her reaction reasonable-but-petty. They were going to vote her out and she knew it: why hang around long enough to let them get their attacks in? It's so much more fun to let them just choke on words unspoken. And realistically? Group that could judge based on gameplay this was not. Of course, some people don't care about jury votes even when they know they're coming. See 'Kiper, Jessica'.

1. Pop off! Pop off!2. I wear this wig because, um, CANCER! That's right, I had CANCER! 3. Padma actually spits a dessert into her napkin because it is so godawful sweet, and looks incredibly elegant doing so. 4. We can no longer live with your design. 5. Almost everything Miss Tyra and the Jays did on ANTM this season was like some weird Swedish student art film. 6. Kate got the world's most deserved tummy tuck. 7. Pop off! POP OFF! 8. Hedda Lettuce finds the sleeves fugly and waay too flamboyant. 9. Ginger realizes she no longer watches Survivor or Amazing Race and does not know the names of the co-eds currently drinking themselves into toxemia on the current season of Real World, let alone what unfortunate township is hosting it. 10. Wait, did I mention POP OFF!
POP OFF!
POP OFF!
POP OFF!

Leanne's Spy Montage on Project Runway, then followed later on by Leanne in Kenley's hip-hop suit/accompanying walk.(Probably a video on Bravo, but I'm not looking through that site) I only saw it in clips after, but Mark Day doing anything on Canadian Idol, "Dancing in the Streets" was his best moment. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LaUnBWKhsyE Dandrew Dancing. And Marching. (Well, that was Dan).

I still can't figure out if they were all there for the money/exposure/lots and lots of exposure/catfights! or if anyone there was stupid enough to believe Paris would remember their name three seconds after filming ended.

1. Women and girls gushing about how sexy a gasping Mormon child was on American Idol.*shudder* {insert "It's a felony" clip from "The Soup" here} 2. A wigless Cloris on DWTS. 3. Imagining the meltdown in the control room on DWTS because of Cloris's inability to censor herself during the family hour. 4. Paula Abdul critiquing a song that had not been sung. 5. Fake Immunity Idols that were made better than the real ones.

27. "Silly question" |
First: who the hell is Megan?Second: Let's see...the fact that Bruckheimer's casting department seemed to have some kind of brain implant in my head from which they sucked out information. The only way they can disprove this: A Tel Aviv leg. Third: Randy. Corinne. A clueless Charlie who's missing brain cells instead of fingers. Crystal's only classy move all season - losing. Ken plotting to shoot Bob and getting angry when Bob won't give up the only bulletproof vest. Sugar dominating the season and not even getting to see her name written down to show for it - the only finalist ever to go through the entire season without receiving a vote for or against. Fourth: Dan gets $500,000 off people who probably hate his guts. Given that kind of return, he should change careers and try stripping. Fifth: Meh. Kick Kathleen in the face. Along with most of the Fans tribe.

29. "Painful questions of our time." |
First: who the hell is Megan?I didn't want to try and answer this question without double-checking a few of the facts which I've been desperately hoping to forget. So I did a little searching. And in the course of that searching, I learned Megan has a blog. So much for dinner. Okay -- the short version: Megan Hauserman started as a contestant on Beauty & The Geek, where she was teamed up with Scooter. They won. They did not win because Megan became intellectual or learned how to value herself for more than her looks, although she did have the occasional flash of non-idiocy during the season. They won because they were up against Cece, the Sugar of her own season: dominated, hurt everyone she could because she could, and never anticipated the little factor called 'the jury vote.' Was Megan any great prize? No: she just had a goat on the other side, plus people liked Scooter. Hello, $125,000. From there, she became one of the throng going after Bret Michaels in the second Rock Of Love. And that's when we got to see where her intelligence was centered: in hurting everyone around here. She only backstabbed when getting people from the front became boring. Her confessional sessions turned into such delusional pictures of nastiness, you'd swear they were coming from Corinne. She showed hatred of anyone who didn't look like her, think like her, or bow to her every whim. After taking several contestants out of the race and nearly being eliminated fairly early before one contestant voluntarily stepped down, she finally went out at F5 because Bret felt no connection. Not surprising, as Megan's only demonstrated bond was with money. That bond naturally led her to the original I Love Money, where the confessional venom, open venom, and outright manipulation of everything in sight reached levels Corinne isn't mentally equipped to dream of. She didn't throw people under the bus: she drove it into their bedrooms, parked it on their skulls, and then claimed the victim had been sleep-driving. (Summing up her actual actions in this department would overload the text-per-post limit.) Because this was a pure competition show with some anti-Darwin elements, Megan managed to get all the way to F3 -- at which point, a jury of the ousted materialized and was given the power to vote out one person, bringing things down to the final two. Megan got one look at a group of people who hated her as much as she'd openly belittled them and, rather than give them the chance to take their revenge, quit. There's only one place for this kind of charmer, and that's directly under the kind supervision of Sharon Osbourne: Megan transferred to the second season of Charm School with a number of former RoL contestants, some of whom she'd never had the chance to openly despise. That changed in a hurry, as Megan took a second show about personal change and turned it into another festival of manipulation, venom, and stabbing into anything available, delighting in every eviction she was able to produce. However, Sharon isn't exactly stupid, and Megan was constantly on the verge of going out -- until the week she kicked Brandi M (the eventual winner) in the stomach as her happy means of settling a discussion. That sent her home until the F3 came around, at which point she returned Apprentice-style to 'assist' Brandi M. in a task. The task was collecting items for charity, which would then be tallied at preset values. Megan deliberately lost pieces, put collected items in the bins for the other contestants, and then spent the rest of the time gathering donated pens for a whopping $0.05 each. This may be what led to something we've only heard rumors of so far: that at the Reunion show, Megan managed to get into a fight with Sharon and came out the worse for it with an injured arm. No doubt Megan can find a reason that's not her fault. Are we done? Not even close. Because at the very start of her CS time, Megan expressed her life's ambition: to be someone's trophy wife. As such, VH1 started casting a dating series with her at the center of it: you must be worth at least one million dollars to apply. The name of this show? Trophy Wife. Coming soon to a TV near you. And because even trying to skim over this means I just went on an involuntary two-day fast, I'd appreciate it if someone else would take over and post some more specific examples of Megan's brand of evil. Because this? Has barely scratched the surface.

Luckily we had the return of the Mole but my list is mostly Survivor moments. Moments where the DAWS' stupidity or ineptness made me laugh.
10- April needing to prove her boobs were real so she let Jerry grab them. 9- Blazing Speed Crystal, the Olympic gold medalist losing almost every challenge. 8- Ozzy being fooled by Parvati and her witches. 7- Ollie realizing that Dan wasn't going to let him decide who should go on the block. 6- Erik giving up his immunity. 5- Tina unable to find the chamber of echoes... echoes... echoes... 4- Kenny believing he was safe and still running the show. 3- The Dandrews racing in paper slippers... or simply the Dandrews racing. 2- Bobby in a wheelbarrow making it easy for Craig the Mole to sabotage yet another mission. 1- "It's just a stick!" Eliza telling Jason that his hidden idol wasn't real. ETA: I just saw that CBS put up their favorite videos and "It's just a stick" is #1! http://www.cbs.com/collections/best_of_2008_reality/
