too good to resist...

i have to say that i am not an avid fan of reality tv.  (i swear if i walk into one more person's apartment to find 'america's next top model' on, i will take a baseball bat to the television).  i guess i just don't find the lives of 'has been' celebrities and other wannabe famous people that exciting.  as far as i'm concerned, they have been given the chance to live out their 15 minutes of fame.  but i guess the society we live in today will not just let them fall by the wayside and become a part of pop culture history, we prefer them to continue to exploit themselves in a quest for our entertainment, rather than let them resume what semblance of a normal life their rise to fame has left them with.  but i guess that's what you sign up for when you sell your soul to the reality tv gods.

HOWEVER

i have to say that the new season of the show, 'im a celebrity...get me out of here'  does intrigue me.  the premise is that a bunch of 'celebrities' are dumped in the middle of the jungle (under controlled circumstances, of course) and we, the audience, decide what happens to them while they are in said situation.  during a brief promo for the show they showed the public voting for a swarm of bees to be released on sanjaya, a former american idol competitor.   other celebrities (and i use this term loosely) to be featured on the show are:  heidi and spencer pratt, lou diamond phillips, and former self proclaimed super model  janice dickinson, whom i can not wait to see without makeup.   i guess people really will do anything to become and stay famous.

now that's what i call must see tv
