That's it. That's the show I was thinking about. It's called THE SURREAL LIFE

The celebrity housemates include:

The Preacher: MC Hammer (Rapper-turned-Preacher) - full of baggage and bravado -- he's 2 Legit 2 Quit!

The Kid: Emmanuel Lewis ("Webster") - Webster is still 4'11" after all these years. He has the highest voice in the house.

The Babe: Brande Roderick ("Baywatch" and 2001 Playmate of the Year) - The good Christian girl who can't keep her clothes on.

The Black Sheep: Corey Feldman ("Stand by Me") - From his bizarre relationship with Michael Jackson, to his bizarre relationship with his girlfriend, Corey is, in a word, bizarre.

The Peace Keeper: Gabrielle Carteris - We'll experience the weirdness of the surreal life through her jaded eyes.

The Rocker: Vince Neil - If only his tattoos could talk! Mötley Crüe's lead singer has been-there-done-that so many times, it's a wonder he doesn't need hip replacement.

The Instigator: Jerri Manthey - The "Survivor II" cast member that everyone loves to hate, Jerri was also featured in Playboy magazine.

The WB also looks to be planning another show about High School reunions.

The only things on Fox I watch are the Simpsons and Firefly, mainly because of this shit.

Y'mena like Celebrity Big Brother or I'm a celebrity: get Me Out of Here? Been done for the last two years.

When will this "reality TV" nonsense stop? It was decent during the time of the origional Survivor, but all the origionality and novelty has worn off. They'll continue getting less entertaining and dumber.

Also, it's not really "real" at all. It's not so hard to survive when you have 50 crewmen on the island with you. It's not like you'll be put on an island with a bunch of attractive women with big boobs, like on Temptation Island.

I never got into the reality show craze. Like Lt. Cmdr. Smi said, there's nothing real about them at all. And almost all of them follow the same exact formula. It's always just a bunch of morons put together in some place, voting each other off one by one (or some variation of this). Along the way, they'll bitch at each other nonstop and play dumb games.

Throw in That 70s Show and Andy Ritcher and that's all I watch on FOX. It used to be my favourite TV station. But they're run by idiots. Then again, so are ABC and UPN.

You know I saw this and all I could think was "Fox is gonna syndicate the Bachelor?"

I mean no person could actually think that multiple "marry a rich guy" tv shows could actually go on right? Goddamn idiots.

'Who wants to marry a millionaire.' Except the 'millionaire' is a fake and the victims are being lead down the garden path.

Faux Network has hit rock bottom and begun to dig....

Bastard, you beat me too it.

This may be a last ditch attempt too keep reality ratings up. A possible symbol that they'll be gone in a few years at th most.

I say, let the gold digging whores find out their ticket to the good life is just another blue collar schmuck. Poor babies...tormented with a free, all expenses paid vacation to a chateau in France for six months only to find out they weren't going to be a millionaire's trophy wife.

I saw those commercials, I wont watch that either. It seemed pretty

The only good thing we got form reality TV is that the dumb Americans that watch it learn their geography. For example, one third of Americans who took a poll correctly located the Marquesas islands in the Pacific, probably because they saw it on Survivor. Yes, only one fifth could locate Iraq. Hey, perhaps we should do a Survivor: Canada! That will surprise all the Americans.

"Hey, it was up there the whole time!"

Americans know stuff that's more exposed by the media, for some reason.

On a side note, I think they should do a Survivor from up north. What they lose in bikini shots, they'll more than make up in hard nipples.

I'm waiting for a reality show that makes someone think they're going to prison. Maybe call it "Framed!" and could even lead people into thinking they were getting the death penalty. It sounds like an absolutely terrible idea, which makes me think it's already been done by some network.

Announcer: But after being Framed! for attempted murder, John still learned a valuable lesson.
[sensitive music plays]
John: When I realized what I was losing it broke me up inside. I'll never take my freedom for granted again, and neither should anybody. [freeze frame as music concludes]

More like:
John: I never knew that a man could have unlubed anal sex with a person if you pushed hard enough, but when that biker dude came up behind me in the shower, I was painfully corrected.

Sad thing is, they probably do consider that a possibility.

LMAO

I think this is funny. These gold-digging skanks go on TV hoping to meet their Prince Charming, expecting him to be their sugar-daddy till death do them part. I say good, fuck 'em! If their criteria for a lasting relationship depends on a guy's bank account, then they all deserve a godsmack. There are no innocent victims here, there never is in a "reality" show. All of these (repulsive, redundant, insipid) shows are about humilation for someone involved.

Next time they do "The Bachelor" on ABC, he's probably going to be gay, and pick the cameraman in the end.

Unless the rights haven't been bought by FOX by then, and aired weeknights at 8.

The real test would be if they could do what Anna Nichole Smith did. Marry a 90 year old oil billionaire. The pictures I've seen of the two of them he's in a wheel chair with a huge

shit-eating grin.

Considering the two bits of information relating to our former associate R.C. cola, not as bad as it could be, at some time.

Speaking of RC Cola, they are probably going to fill future reality TV shows with endorsements. They'll mention a name brand every sentence, and despite having no viewers whatsoever, the series would still make a profit because of all the advertisers.

Do you think there will be reality TV on MSNBC anytime soon? I mean, anything would get higher ratings than Donahue.
