Okay, look ...

... you know how hooked I am on Bravo's reality TV shows, right? Like, they could have America's Best Board Game Player and I'd be all, "Oh, my God, when are they showing the Operation episode?!"

I'm sort of the opposite way with VH-1's reality shows. Every once in a while I'll catch myself watching one of them and feeling so guilty because really, they suck. Even by the standards of reality TV, they blow and they blow HARD.

But have you guys seen the commercials for Viva Hollywood? Oh, man, they're looking for "the next telenovela superstar." Sweet holy crap, you guys, this is going to be AWESOME. This is exactly what VH-1 should be doing with the sort of production values they have. Oh, oh! And you know how they know they've gotten kicked out of the house? They all film a death scene, and if they show your death scene at the judging, you have to leave. That's fucking brilliant.

*bounces around the room happily*

The downside is that apparently Perez Hilton's on an episode. Ew. I'll watch that, but I'm so Febreezing my TV after that.

I kind of want to watch America's Best Board Game Player now. The British version would obviously not be as good, because we tend to lack the editing skills of most American TV producers/histrionic capabilities of most American reality show contestants. Also it's very hard to take DRAMA seriously when it is being delivered in a Liverpudlian accent.

Hmm. I should only watch American TV from now on.

I actually want to watch america's best board game player. Or compete. I'd be really good at it.

In regards to VH1, when the show "The Shot" was on, it was surprisingly good. Doubly so considering it was produced by the same producer as that claptrap ANTM :P
