There's so much out there on the web right now, so for you Reality TV fans out there, here's some comments, observations and a few links...
OK. Celebrity Mole Hawaii. Just sucks. Nothing else to say about it - they've just killed what I think was a very clever Reality TV game. Sucks.
Joe Millionaire. Gee, where do I start... OK, we knew about Evan's Toll Evasion ticket and his past as an underwear model. Then we have finalist Sarah Kozer's odd little soft porn bondage films. We have supermarket tabloid The Globe saying finalist Zora Andrich actually married Evan at the French château. (There's also one totally unsubstantiated rumor that one of the girls on the show is pregnant from Evan.) Paul Hogan the butler is even in the frey, having been almost fired from an assignment just prior to the show (actually, he quit right before getting fired). Did you know that he's a member of the International Guild of Professional Butlers (and they have a webpage for him)?
The Bachelorette. Two days after the show was broadcast that had him being rejected by Trista Rehn, Greg Todtman was busted at New York's John F. Kennedy airport and charged with trying to smuggle drugs onto his American Airlines flight to Los Angeles. But we just know the winner is Charlie Maher.
The Bachelor. Remember Aaron Buerge and "winner" Helene Eksterowicz? They broke up. I mean, he blew off her January 17th birthday, what do you expect?
Amazing Race 4 appears to be in production - they were in Alappuzha, India, (somewhere around Kerala) where an article mentions 7 pairs of contestants (that will give you an idea on how far into the race they are) "participated in a traditional bull race, carrying bundles of coir on elephants, riding a cycle-rickshaw with chicken crates and a night on a rice boat." It also looks like there's a possibility of the show being pushed-off a bit as CBS has ordered more episodes of Star Search.
Do you remember Mike ''Boogie'' Malin from Big Brother 2? Do you remember his bar/lounge Belly? Don't you think that it's an odd coincidence that Gabriel Cade of Survivor Marquesas bartended there and Alex Bell of Survivor The Amazon was a doorman there? (nice little article on how Belly is a "Reality TV halfway house".)
How about a new ABC series based on a British Channel 4 show Wife Swap?
And not really part of the Reality TV genre per se, but guess what TV show was voted the favorite of HGTV's programming? Trading Spaces. That's not a good thing as Trading Spaces is not on HGTV - it's on TLC!
