Reality TV and feeling bad for Tom Green

If someone came up to you and told you (at gunpoint, just for dramatic effect) to choose between being a contender on a reality TV Show or die, which show would you choose to be on?

This is something I spend too much time thinking about. It really is one of those thoughts that gets you nowhere, but are relatively entertaining. I do feel that soon, very soon, the entire world will know someone who knows someone who’s been on a reality show. It’s like cancer. Except less lethal and painful (different pain, at least.).

To answer my own question; if forced at gunpoint I would definitely go for “The Apprentice”. Actually, it wouldn’t have to be a decision made under severe pressure and yearning to live; strict language from an authoritative figure would suffice.

First of all, it’s a great show. I love it with every fiber of my television-being. Secondly, there’s the Donald - and the Donald Jr. (who by the way slowly but surely seems to be adapting to his fathers hairstyle. I guess that comes with the job.) - I love them to.

And let’s not forget the third and most important thing about ”The Apprentice”; you get real-life-hard-business-experience in NYC, and I can’t help but to think how much that must shape your character. I’m certain that if you didn’t know your weaknesses before entering The Trump World of Business, you sure will at the end of your time there.

If you’re lucky, you get to stay long enough to see Evil Personified evaporate in front of your eyes.

And if you’re really lucky (and a damn good leader, of course) - you win. Of course, that’s what happens at most reality TV shows, someone winning and all, but imagine working for Trump? And getting paid for it?

Wow.


Oh yeah, and I have to mention (because it’s in the title, I was actually kind of happy just ending with a simple ’wow’, but noooo.) that I felt really bad for Tom Green last night. I mean, come on, EEE? Tom was funnyright (what you are when you’re funny and right about something at the same time) when he pointed out that EEE is a brasize. Not even a bra - a large bra.

I like Tom Green. I think Tom Green is going home on Sunday (i.e. the next episode). But I still like Tom Green.
