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."

"CANOE SINKS LOVE CRUISE...." |
"Skanky and accidentally insightful" are the leads in this review by Bill Brioux of the Toronto Sun.... Love Cruise has all the elements
needed in today's lowest common
denominator world of reality
television: Horny, nubile young men
and women are invited to shack up
for 48 hours at a time aboard a luxury
yacht. Every two days, they trade
bunk mates and do it all again. Every other day, one guy and one girl
is tossed over board onto "Loser
Island," where they can presumably
go off and breed a whole race of little
losers. Make no mistake: Love Cruise is no
Band Of Brothers. This is titillating,
one-track television. But amid all the
boob talk is something you seldom
see on these reality shows: Reality. A few other boobs on board get
exposed, too. Michael used to weigh
250 pounds and is sure he'll be
picked last for the first date (he is).
Lisa, an attractive divorcee, is tender
about being a month or two older
than some of these other kids. She
wants to bunk with the
dangerous-looking guy with all the
tattoos and doesn't want to end up
with dull Michael. Sorry, Lisa. Hey! Is this guy calling the Clown a boob? http://www.canoe.ca/TelevisionShowsL/lovecruise.html

LAST EDITED ON 09-25-01 AT 05:24 PM (EST)Sky, this is too funny--but you left out some of the best parts! (and don't forget to keep reading into the next article) My personal fave: At one point on Love Cruise, contestants must hold up "B.S." paddles. The B.S. stands for "Balls of Shame." It refers to a little lotto machine on board with balls in it. It takes balls of shame to go on these shows and it takes balls of shame to produce and air them. And it takes balls of shame to watch. OMG--just where are we going to find those?! But you Left-Coasters get more time to find out, anyway--last I heard, LC was being delayed until 1 a.m., thanks to baseball on FUX. . . (poor clown oughtta skip the BS and just go heavy on the tranquilizers, at this point. . . Just when you think the network couldn't do any more to ruin his 15 minutes, they think of something else!) GT
 Edited to add: They didn't call him a boob (exactly)--but they DID call him DULL. Now THERE'S a laugh-and-a-half for you! Guess he doesn't convey his true personality as well in the flesh as he does in the written word. . . shakes is a lot of things (many negative) but I daresay he does NOT qualify as "dull" by any stretch of the imagination.

...calling me dull is about as accurate as calling Osama bin Laden a humanitarian. When I see a review like this I immediately know a few things about the author...one, he hates reality TV, two, he has stereotypical preconceived notions about people and shapes his opinions to fit those stereotypes, and three, he decided to rip the show long before he ever actually saw it.
I've been called many things in my life, but dull is definitely NOT one of them. And you know what, this isn't even a bad review...he says it sucks cause it is sleazy and hateful...gee, people really hate to see stuff like that on TV, right? IMO, a bad review would be if someone said the show was boring and made you fall asleep, not that it is sleazy, hateful and full of sex. IMO, I have yet to see a single bad review of the show.

There is NO SUCH THING as "bad publicity" as long as they spell your name right!! (Somebody famous said that.)And just so you will know, I have set my VCR to tape 1) Love Cruise and 2) N.Y.P.D. Blues. That puts you right up there with Dennis Franz -- big shoes to fill, imo. Sleazy sex is hardly ever boring --- unless you don't know what you're doing; and that ain't Mikey's problem. Dalton
