The "Surreal Life 2" -- this could get ugly!

[kybearfuzz]

I am not a big fan of reality TV shows. I empathize too much with people in supposedly "real" situations. "Survivor" and "American Idol" are neat to watch I hear, but I've never gotten into them. Some, like "Temptation Island" and "The Bachelor," are just plain ridiculous and are akin to Jerry Springer. Again, my opinion only, I do not mean to insult anyone who likes these shows.

"The Surreal Life" was one I did not watch, simply because I didn't really care for any of the has-been stars on it. Tonight I saw the previews for next season of "The Surreal Life." Among, the "stars" will be Mascara Queen Tammy Faye Baker, Talentless rapper Vanilla Ice, Lovable Loser Gary Coleman, and Hairy Straight Porn Star Ron Jeremy. Not that I'm a fan of any of them (although I admit I've probably seen more of Ron Jeremy's work than any of the others), it may actually be a bizarre enough mix to entice me to watch. The idea of a head to head between Ron and Tammy Faye could be quite messy.

Mike hates reality TV, but he religiously watched The Surreal Life. He also doesn't seem to hate it quite so much if the people are hot:)

It's too bad you didn't try Survivor this season. It was pretty good. If you're interested, next season could be a good place to start. Or a really bad one. Depends on your viewpoint. See, next season is Survivor All-Stars. 18 players from the past 7 seasons, including at least 5 of the winners (Richard Hatch among them).

You should definitely try watching The Amazing Race. IMO, it's hands down the best reality show in existance.

I can't wait for Surreal Life 2.... yeah I can't to see Ron and Tammy go at it... I have met both in real life - they are a real trip... I also read that Erik Estrada will be on the Surreal Life 2 and also there will be surprise guest stars all throughout the season...
