Who are these "celebrities" and why does anyone watch them?

[MaineDem]

I made the mistake of watching a few minutes of that stupid show on NBC featuring celebrities - and I do indeed use that term loosely - and I had no freekin' clue who they were. Well, most of them anyhow. I recognized a Baldwin Bro or two and Patty however you spell her last name who is there only because the judge wouldn't let Rod go play out of the country. But who the heck are the other people? And who is this Spencer and the blonde who are both totally annoying?

Nevermind, don't answer. I really don't want to know. I'll never get those 10 minutes of my life back.

Good lord! Gotta love summer replacement series.

1. What a relief.

I thought it was me.

And I was so ashamed. :eyes:

2. I'm going to be brave and admit that I'm watching it

Don't ask me why though.

I also had no clue who Spencer etc was and it was funny to see how full of himself he was, thinking he's a huge celebrity, when in reality, most people have no clue who he is, lol.

Now about the Baldwins. I watched Stephen Baldwin on The Apprentice and just really dispised him on that, so I was ready to watch him suffer on this show. And aside from his religiosity popping out every now and then (especially when pseudo-xtian Spencer was there), he's actually more tolerable in this environment than in Donald Trumps world. I think the arrival of big brother Daniel took him down a notch, so I was glad when he showed up. I generally like all of the Baldwin Bros (except Stephen).

Also, I wanted to see Frangela, because I knew them as weekly guests on Stephanie Miller's show, and I think they're funny and smart. It's too bad they're already gone, but tomorrow they'll be on Stephanie's show (3rd hour) to talk about it.

Now, I liked Sanjaya when he was on Idol. I didn't want him to win, but he had a good heart and seemed to be a very nice soul. This show is bearing that out. He would be a good candidate for the actual Survivor show -- he's like a budding Ozzie. He's a good kid.

Rod's wife seems to be OK mostly, although it bugs me when she talks about how victimized they have been, and I'm sure most of the other people there don't really know much about Rod's case, so they seem to believe her.

All the rest I never had heard of. But that Janice woman is some piece of work. I hope she gets kicked out this week, because she's just nasty. A liar, delusional and pathetic.

Heidi's sister came in last night to replace her (probably a contract issue). She seems like so much more of a normal human being than her sister.

I'd like Sanjaya to win, I think.

3. You are not alone.

My husband and I are watching it. My 27-year-old son came out for a visit, and admitted that he is watching it too. (I missed it tonight because I had a meeting. I just had to get my husband to fill me in on the gory details as soon as I came home).

I live in Illinois and I am interested in politics. That is why I watched the first show. I wanted to see what Patti would do. Patti seems to be doing a good job on the show and she is getting along well with the other players. Of course she is there to do lots of PR for her husband, and the other people are politically naive. They will believe her because they like her.

You are right about Sanjaya. He is a great kid. And Janice does need to go. But think about it....first Speidi were the villains. They washed out too quickly to keep the show interesting. Most of the others are pretty likable, therefore boring, players. Maybe the producers have asked Janice to overplay the role of the villain.

The show is cheesy, poorly scripted, hosted and produced. It is summer replacement crap. I am rotting my brain nightly, watching it eagerly! LOL!

5. It's about time!!!

How did she last this long, anyway???

:bounce: :bounce: :bounce:

Happy Dance!

4. That's the one reality show I will never watch!

Who cares? All they're doing is making complete idiots of themselves (worse than non-celebs in other shows) just for the sake of filling the time slot. Besides, The Celebrity Apprentice was a trainwreck but at least it was interesting.

6. It's a train wreck but I can DVR it and FF out most of the whining

Which means I only have to deal with about 10 min of actual viewing time

7. LOL!

Excellent idea!

:)

8. Thank GOD it's OVER!!

I'm glad the winner won. That was my second choice, after Sanjaya.

And it's true, once you FF thru all the recaps and stuff, there's really only about 10 minutes to watch.
