Reality TV - July 2006

HOW COULD JAMIE WIN BB 06???

July 31st 2006 12:00
No! I demand a recount! Jamie wins BB/Source: Southern Star Endemol
How the hell can Jamie WIN Big Brother?? What has he done that makes him worthy of winning??? Sit around, cry bucket loads, pretending to wear pants, smell bad, sprout poetry that doesn’t make sense. And you tell me this MOLE gets to win??? WHAT???


I must say every person who voted last night and tonight would’ve been dropped on the head to let him win. He has achieved nothing. He sat and cried for weeks after Katie left. Everything revolved around him being ‘woe is me’ all the damn time. He didn’t contribute enough to the house – how could he win? Wait...he had a big schlong - but that doesn't count!

I saw it coming. Cos females don’t win BB – except for Reggie. Series 1 – Sara-Marie Fedele lost out to third when she was the most popular housemate after starting off being irritating. Bree Amer from series 4 came second after being evicted once because of voting error. Girls come close but it’s sabotaged in the end.

Camilla has gone from top nominated housemate to most popular. And then made it to the end, only to be kicked to the side and be handed second place. See a pattern forming?

I was so unimpressed about Jamie winning that I switched to Housewives. He doesn’t deserve it. And no, I didn’t vote but it’s not like 1 vote would be worth it. I think 3 hours of BB is enough torture to not make me want to vote.


Over it. The only hope for Camilla fans is that they didn’t count the votes properly and she really wins. And condolences to those who put big bucks on her to win tonight.

Only hope.

Who thought I'd cry watching BB?

July 30th 2006 09:27
Camilla takes the leap of faith/Source: Southern Star Endemol
As sad as it may seem, I, like, cried watching Camilla jumped off the 4th storey on the Friday Night Live challenge.

Yes. Cried.

Why, you all ask? Well, I was tired, and watching how this girl didn’t want to be seen as weak because she was jumping last and being the only girl she did it. Only BB was being extra nice and gave her $40 000 for her tearful effort when we all thought the only way to win the money was to catch the fake bag of money perched just out of reach.

So because she jumped, she has to win BB. No exceptions.

We all thought she was an absolute bitch at the start and the housemates nominated her for nearly every eviction – and she survived every one. Later, we see her somehow MATURE during her time in the house and when paired with Perry during the slanging matches she looked like a meek little mouse. Anyone who survives that is an absolute CHAMPION!

Besides, we are due for another female winner. I don’t think anyone else can win but damn, I wish I had a few hundred so I can put $20 on every housemate at the start. I’m so envious of the person who placed $20 on Camilla when her odds were $101 to win at the start.

GO TEAM CAMILLA!

The Hills, BB and that new TV show! It's a Field Day!

July 28th 2006 09:45
Oh I think I’m gonna blog vomit.

First things first! The Hills. Well I’ve finally found a site where I can view the episodes – it’s been a long favourite site of mine but updates have been lagging because the previous host had lost interest in the show. Well now there’s a brand-spanking new host and she’s done a few brilliant changes to site and added the video download function for us who are deprived of the show to actually be able to watch it! YAY!!! Shameless plug time…the site is http://lagunahookup.blogspot.com

Back on topic, the show seems to have taken a great climax. What’s her face and what’s his name have broken up! Yes they are that insignificant that I didn’t even mention their names! The show is centred so much on LC that these randoms’ break up scene lasted for only 3 minutes!

If you haven’t racked your brains enough by now I was talking about Heidi and her other half, Jordan (who?). Shows how reality TV shows reflect life – break ups are emotional and hard to deal with but somehow in the real world you can deal with it in 3 minutes.

Next up is BB. Gosh, Channel 10 what are you doing??? This whole marketing ploy that we were supposedly fooled by was just a farce! What happened to mean Big Brother? What a load of bull! Like we were gonna fall for that prank that the money cannot be reclaimed and what the housemates had left was the prize. Well tonight the housemates are gonna try and claim any money back. But that’s just stupid. It’s an easy way out. Bloody hell BB – don’t you think it’s wise to SAVE money by not giving it away? Don’t you think you’ve made enough money by the product placement in tonight’s episode with the dominoes task and shamelessly asked Jamie to film it? THINK, BB, THINK!!!

I predict she isn't going to make it/Source: News.com.au


Oh and not to mention tonight was the premiere episode of watching Stephanie McIntosh sing her first single over and over and over and not to mention OVER again. Channel 10 really needs to find other ways to get ratings and exposure for manufactured TV and music ‘stars’. And by making an Ashlee Simpson-style TV show before Neighbours and overplaying the same chorus repeatedly is surely going to turn people off. It sure turned me off. For some stupid reason, the same TVC was shown twice before Neighbours started, reminding us to pre-order Stephanie’s single. Right. By the amount of air time you’re giving it, we might as well tape it, and use nifty music editing software and merge it into one single so that we save $4.99 buying the stupid thing (or $1.99 online if you’re smart or can’t be bothered to sit and edit music).

Maybe Channel 10 should employ me and we’ll make the station number one by not bombarding viewers with this idiotic type of marketing that no one is going to fall for.

You learn something when watching Miss Universe you know!

July 26th 2006 10:39
Insert Title Here
Puerto Rico wins/Source: Boston
Well last night Miss Universe was a learning curve for me. Even though I already knew who won I watched it anyway, you know for the bits leading up to it. Kind of like the OC where we all knew Marissa was gonna die but we had to watch HOW she died and who was responsible (but we knew that bit too).

Anyways, I found this year’s show a bit unappealing. Same stereotype, pretty girls, expensive gowns, too thin bodies. But another thing that annoyed me was the fact that the top 10 finalists had boobs. They were huge. Something I didn’t expect from skinny girls but I guess when you’re one in a few million from your country you gota have some who are lucky in the chest area!

For the evening gown part of the show, Switzerland looked like a Barbie doll with her big blonde hair and hot pink dress. I think from memory it was her who had the ribs sticking out of her bikini. Not cool.

USA looked pretty ordinary in her evening gown. That’s all I can say about her – I didn’t find her appealing but it’s annoying when they keep reaching the top 10 and 5 every year. It was just bad luck she landed such a broad question to answer in the final round which put her 5th runner up or something.

But the winner! Oh gosh, Japan should’ve won! Such an upset!!! Donald Trump sure looked impressed during the show. He looked bored and like he didn’t want to be there.

But after my round up that wasn’t the learning curve at how rigged the event is. I learnt about countries I didn’t even know existed! St Lucia. Where??? For those who live in Brisbane, yes that’s near Toowong but still. Where??? And watching it made me question the difference between USA and US Virgin Islands. Is the latter less smutty than the former? Maybe it should be renamed US Technical Virgin Islands.

And Miss Australia isn’t as innocent as she seems. Oh the power of PR! I have a very close source who told me that she despises Erin McNaughty because of an unforgivable incident in high school, where Erin slept with her best mate’s bf. Oh the hilarity.

Ah well, here’s to another wrap up of 2006 Miss Universe.

Another talent show for the masses to converge on

Australia’s Got Talent?? No way! I didn’t realise! But it’s not just Idol talent. We’re talking a mixed bag of talent. If you haven’t seen snippets of the America’s Got Talent show you can view a good side to the show, and the not so good side to the show.

Jamie hurry up and become EMO!

July 24th 2006 10:02
Oh gosh will BB give Jamie some black clothing, black hair dye and a million arm bands so he can truly express himself indirectly? Last night he was throwing things around because Krystal and Claire got evicted from the house. Big shock, yes, but Jamie took it like a drama queen. He was more feminine than Camilla! Then when Max and Chris appeared back into the house in disbelief Jamie went to them with open arms. Guess who’s playing the gaaaammmeeeee???

Max and Chris took it into their stride which is understandable because they came in late and they know how the game is played and think that the entire population hates them which is pretty accurate. Me, I couldn’t really care less. It’s just TV. It was fairly entertaining and the controversy made it a bit more attractive to watch.

Way to go and kill some songs!

July 23rd 2006 10:04
Effortless? What? Erika Heynatz and male parter totally BUTCHERED one of my favourite songs. Is it just me or has Erika gotten a bit too big of an ego as the competition progresses?

Second half of the show started off a bit strange. Rachel Beck and Ryan Fuze don’t really mash well together for ballads. He sounds like a rocker, she sounds like she’s doing opera. But Larry Emdur loved it. Where’s is the beloved Grant Denyer? I made an effort to watch Sunrise last week and was utterly disappointed that he wasn’t there to tell me what the weather was like!

Crashing through thin ice with a bit of grot

July 21st 2006 08:30
Well, not to bring up how boring Torvill and Dean’s: Dancing on Ice is…but the show is crashing every week in viewer numbers.

I think Nine didn’t think that by doing promo shots of the skaters bruised and bandaged up would be taken so literally. My bus went past a poster of Jake Wall posing in mandatory bruises and bandages and could only think that his pretty face will actually be covered in real bruises and bandages in a few weeks to come. You could only hope!

Jessica's released that Public Affair video. Doesn't deliver.

July 20th 2006 00:14

Looks plastic/Source: SonyBMG
I just viewed the new video for Jessica Simpson’s ‘Public Affair’ song and it’s so damn cheesey!

So this over-hyped song and impending clip features celebrities such as Christina Applegate, Christina Milian, Eva Longoria, Maria Menudos, Ryan Seacrest and that guy who starred in that Home and Away style rip off soapie (it was so bad I can’t be bothered to dig for the show’s title). The stars featured in the clip are all Jessica’s friends. Right. I only know from the gossip tabloids that Eva is a firm friend but the rest are just vying for love and affection from the media because they featured in a music clip from Hollywood’s latest divorcee (divorcer?).

Who bothers to watch Today Tonight?

July 19th 2006 10:19
Sometimes I feel like current affairs shows are biased. Okay, I can hear you screaming ‘they are biased!’ at me but I’m not really listening. As I watched tonight’s Today Tonight the absolute-oh-my-gosh! top story is how Coles is trying to take over the retail wars by building a giant Pick ‘N’ Pay Hypermarket.

So what?

Yay! A REAL! Reality Show!

July 18th 2006 12:02
Insert Title Here
The Key West house the 7 housemates live in for a few months/Source: Real World Houses
So there’s this long running TV show in the US called ‘The Real World’. It’s produced by MTV and although my first impression was a BB-style setting, it’s actually not. I watched the preview on You Tube (I’m addicted to that site) and it’s quite interesting. The latest season was located in Key West and unlike BB, MTV change locations as each season progresses. Unlike BB where each year they have a 3 month holiday inside a secluded house.

Since watching the preview, it’s like a grown up version of Laguna Beach and I can see myself become engrossed in this show. Young people from diverse backgrounds live in beachy suburbs (or Vegas or the middle of nowhere) and go through life in that area. What’s quite interesting to see on the Key West season is that they survive Hurricane Katrina along with drinking and debauchery that’s expected out of the show (isn’t that the norm for every MTV show?).

High publicity doesn't always mean high ratings for 9

July 13th 2006 01:39
Well looks like Torvill and Dean’s Dancing on Ice crashed and burned after reading this article. The show had nothing going for them the moment those highly paid ice skaters from the 80s were found to be quite uninteresting and unhelpful. So you can tell it wasn’t long before I switched off. I totally missed Lara Bingle which was alright because watching her on TV trying to rub off on her newfound fame was annoying me. Annalise Brakkensiek looked like a robot dancing on the ice (I don’t think it was even dancing) and she obviously didn’t get a tall enough partner. Slats…tight clothes don’t suit him.

Nine is skating on thin ice with this venture...

July 11th 2006 08:53
So tonight is the start of a new reality TV show called ‘Skating on Ice’. This show does sound awfully familiar to everyone which is true because a few years back they did another show called ‘Stars on Ice’ where D-grade ‘celebrities’ line up and perform fully sick (first time and last time you’ll read that in my blog) skating techniques in front of an moderately large audience.

I guess now Channel 9 has learnt from their last show that they need more celebrities who have made an impact in today’s media – not Reggie-like people, or off cuts from other channels because they weren’t marketable enough.

Dancing! I mean...Singing! With the Stars!

Erika Heynatz is my pick to win/Source: Yahoo! 7
Just checking up on ‘It Takes Two’. The show has actually improved! I’m highly impressed. I think maybe because the numbers have gone down, the singers get a little extra time to sing and surprisingly, some of their voices have improved.

My top pick for this week is Erika Heynatz and male counterpart (I can’t remember his name but he’s quite insignificant in the competition since it’s the celebrity that’s the popular one). Although she is the Nikki Webster of the singing competition (ie had singing experience prior to show) she does sound pretty decent and I think she can win it.

Origin Time! Nothing to watch on TV...cept for this prison documentary...

July 7th 2006 01:16
Insert Title Here
You wouldn't want to end up here/Source: inetours.com
So on Wednesday how us QUEENSLANDERS were basking in the glory of winning Origin – I was frantically searching for something else to watch on TV. Yes, how un-patriotic of me to not watch the Origin, but I watched up to half time til I figured we had no hope of winning and switched off (mentally). Good for them to win for the State but I’m not a footy girl and I’m not gonna like it for the sake of it (along with the World Cup as well…sorry).

So after the footy, and rain delay after rain delay at Wimbledon (I’m never gonna watch one whole game because of the rain or my lack of awake-ness late at night) I managed to switch over to this documentary on Channel 7 about San Quentin prison. After watching this Prison Break has nothing when compared to this real-life prison. Maybe it was my mood but I could feel the raw emotion watching what the guards had to deal with every day. And unlike the guards on Prison Break who are completely oblivious to gang fights, these guards get tipped off and try to act before it’s too late. We didn’t see it, but one guy was slashed across the face with a shank while guards were frantically trying to find weapons that were being hidden under a bathroom sink. Scary stuff.

Game on Moles, it's Getting Mighty Heated in the BB House

July 5th 2006 11:21
What’s the deal with Channel 7 and 9 airing the footage of the ‘turkey slap of the century?’ It’s a ploy to defame Channel 10 for choosing to broadcast Big Brother in a bid to get ratings for their channels. But since Channel 10 didn’t show the footage for ‘legal reasons’, these two channels show it over and over again. For goodness sake get over it! The boys said sorry, Camilla accepted it and she’s over it therefore everyone else should get over it as well!

So this whole hoo-ha isn’t gonna go down just yet. But I don’t have anything to write about it cos I’m over it and the last thing we need is another blogger talking about it.

So today I’m gonna talk about Jamie. He’s lost 2 mates and now it’s ‘woe is me’ all over it again. I do feel sorry for…EVERYONE ELSE because they were affected as well and some may have had closer relationships with the guys than Jamie. But jeez, is he gonna wear the black armband again because he’s had his heart ripped out again?
