Oh, for crying out loud.

Can we have a moratorium on people eliminated from reality shows saying things in their goodbye speech like, "I'm not going to stop cooking," (Top Chef) or, "I'm not going to stop dancing," (Step It Up And Dance) or whatever, as if either losing a reality show is enough to sufficiently break someone's spirit to the point where they give up their fucking career OR they're never going to be allowed to do their job anymore because they got kicked off a reality show?

Honestly, yo. I'll be a happy camper if I never have to hear that lameass crap again.

heehee They do say that a lot, don't they?

Personally, I'm waiting for one of the Top Chef people to be dragged out of the studio kicking and screaming.

Oh, man, they say it ALL the time. I really wish somebody would at least point out to the TC contestants, they make you take your knives when you go. You can keep cooking. It's okay. Seriously. They give you your equipment back and everything. And sorry, but nobody will think you're a hero for continuing to cook after your elimination.

I bet Andrew would totally need to be hauled out of the building. On the other hand, if Betty didn't need to be escorted out in a straitjacket in season two ... ;)

Yet another reason why I like the Amazing Race and hate pretty much all other reality shows. *grin*

They probably encourage them to say shit like that.

Man, I hate that business, too. My solution is just to not watch the 'goodbye' speech/knifepacking/station cleaning/'last dance' bullshit. I just fast-forward to the preview for the next episode. :)

Ha! I had the EXACT SAME RANT last week when I watched SUAD.

I think someone should say, on, Top Chef, "I'm not going to stop dancing."

But can you imagine what the farewell speech would be for some of these reality shows:

The Bachelor: I'm not going to stop stalking you!
Elimidate: I'm not going to stop threesomes!
Fear Factor: I'm not going to stop eating haggis!

The possibliites are endless, really.

Personally, I'm tired of Nikki going "I had to fend for myself!" like that's some great accomplishment.

[apocalypsos.livejournal.com]

Oh, God, I know, right? She said that tonight and I literally snapped at the screen, "Look, unless you were raised by wolves in the wilderness, you did not 'fend for yourself'."

She had to forage from the trees! She dug those vegetables she used to make that meal from the neighbor's garden with only her hands and her bitter determination to live! She taught herself how to read and cook when she was only four and then she developed telekinesis and went to a horrible school run by ... oh, wait, that was Matilda. Never mind.

After watching last night's Survivor, I see you "I'm not going to stop [x]ing" and raise you an "I don't think winning is the money, I think winning is the experience, and I won that."
