I’m going to go further from one of my earlier
columns regarding Reality TV. "Joe Millionaire"
is my new target. Oh, I am all over this one.
The lengths women will go to for a man are absolutely
incredible, and on TV to boot. I love the separate interviews
they do, especially after something "BIG"
has just happened. They try to justify bad behavior
by saying things like, "I’m just naturally
competitive", or "If she had just run like
an idiot up the stairs like the rest of us, she would
have gotten her choice of the pretty dresses."
No one really said that, but at least it would have
been more truthful.
The only real truth to this show and others like it,
is that single attractive women who make it through
the screening process and get on the air are made to
look like ruthless witches. Well, okay, some of them
are. They have no regard for the rest of the "ladies".
All they are thinking about is: "I gots to get
me dat man, and the fact that he has $50 mil is just
icing on the cake. "Oh, he just has this million
dollar smile."
Phooey.
What would have made this a little more interesting
is if they had gotten a guy that wasn’t that great
looking. Just an average looking Joe. Someone that none
of these women would give the time of day in the real
world. Someone that looked a little more like George
from Seinfeld.
This Joe Millionaire guy is good-looking though, so
it can cushion the blow of finding out that his "million
dollar smile" is only worth about $19 Thousand
and Change. Watching women fall all over themselves
over attractive men is not all that challenging. Seeing
them act that way over a guy who looks like a human
troll doll would have been much sweeter. That way, the
look on the winning girl's face would make it all worthwhile
when she finds out there ain’t no $50 mil, as he
pulls up on his back hoe to whisk her off to his roach-infested
apartment. Now that’s REALITY TV for ya.
This show will end up just like all the other shows
of the genre: No one will end up with anyone. You don’t
meet the Love Of Your Life that way. You’re lucky
if you meet someone to love under normal conditions.
When the cameras are turned off, and everyone goes home
and REAL reality hits them, they look at each other
and run screaming in the opposite direction.
But, they will have had their faces on the ol' boob
tube for one hour every week, crying, whining, and generally
behaving like the vapid bimbos they are. As long as
these shows stay on the air, women and men will keep
lining up to get their chance.
I’m just waiting for the "Who wants to meet
George Clooney" show. Now I’d stand in line
to be on THAT.
Until next time……
