Brain Tilt

Tonight the British TV sensation Most Haunted Live (on the Travel Channel) travels to Pennsylvania to visit the famous Eastern State Penitentiary, which is supposedly haunted.  They’ll be there live for 7 hours.

If it really is haunted, why the hell would you willingly spend 7 hours at night in a prison??  Those places are sacry enough during the day, when you’ve got 400 dudes who have been locked up doing nothing but lifting weights and sexually assaulting other dudes.

Sam Leccima has been arrested for committing fraud.  Turns out he never actually owned or sold houses he claimed to have owned and sold.  He also only used temporary fixes on the “Flip This House” homes (as opposed to actually fixing the houses) in order to make the homes look good on TV.

Not only this guy scam people into making investments with him, he also fooled a major network into giving hima TV show where he never actually did anything.  Don’t arrest him, give him an award for being so damn convincing!!

There is contestant on this season’s American Idol by the name of Sanjaya Malakar.  This contestant is competing as a male contestant, however there is no way Sanjaya is a male.  Sanjaya is a female.  There is no other explanation for the haircut, the ear raings, for the overall look.  On tonight’s Idol, I thought that when they revealed their secret that Sanjaya would reveal that he was actually a woman.  And if that did happen, I would not have been surprised.

There are a few interesting contestants this season.  There is a male contestant named Sundance and there is another male contestant that I swear is Jack Osborne.

I love this show.  I watch it whenever it’s on.  However, the contestants are becoming more and more gimmicky as the show wears on.  It’s quickly escalating to the point that I’m pretty sure the “contestants” are paid actors who are told to act as absurd as possible when playing the game.

There can’t really be people out there similar to the ones that appear on this show.

After a month off, Heroes was back on the air last night. It’s well written and is a great story. The only flaws are that the show can be slow at times and there are a lot of characters, which makes it harder to really learn about or care about the characters (sort of the same problem as Lost - too many different little sub-plots). But over all its a great show.

More importantly, it’s a new show that is not a reality show. And I’ve noticed that there seem to be less new reality shows being released. And this a good thing. We may finally be exiting the era of reality TV. Which is good, because all reality TV shows are the same. Take beautiful people whose personalities won’t mesh well, put them in situations that in no way mirror reality and let them interact, with the intention of having them form factions and hate each other.

Heroes is my hero for helping to erase the reality TV era.

I finally got around to watching Chappelle’s Show: The Lost Episodes, and my only thought is that they should have stayed lost.

Out of the 3 episodes, I counted 2 funny skits.  The rest were crap.

So in my mind, they don’t exist.  Chappelle’s Show ended after season 2, when it was at it’s peak.

“I’m rich, biotch!!”
