Get a Job!

I know that this is lame but I will admit it and move on. I enjoy watching the Real World/Road Rules challenges on MTV! I think that it is funny to see these MTV stars try to win $100,000 by doing absolutely ridiculous things. Now I know that I am a fan of The Amazing Race but there is no comparison. The Amazing Racers get to travel the world. Amazing Racers have a chance to win $1 million. And Amazing Racers have other jobs. The kids (OK half of them are not kids anymore) on the challenges on MTV are still trying to squeeze as much out of their fifteen minutes of fame as they can. There are still the gay men that hook up with women (?), the straight women that hook up with women (?), the one guy that likes to run naked through the house screaming, the slut who hooks up with anything that moves, and the guy (or guys) that like to get drunk and fight for the hell of it. If any of you were ever fans of The Real World, very little has changed over the years.

In this particular challenge that is airing on MTV right now (Wednesday nights) we have already had the slutty hook up, two guys sent home for fighting and enough girl on girl action to light up the gay porn sights. The Duel 2 is being filmed in New Zealand and supposedly this is beautiful country but we have seen very little of it. If that is not enough, the challenge last night was a Luge challenge (no ice) while wearing large bobble heads. Not exactly a thought provoking show but fun (or funny) to wind down to.

My only disappointing thing would be the fact that so many of the cast mates are still around. At some point, someone has to realize that they are too old to continue on these challenges and to step down and let the new kids take over. Now I no longer watch the actual shows (Real World) but I get to know the newbies on the challenges and they are fun (or funny) to watch. There is not a Mensa in the bunch but they like to have fun and they get the job (or the challenges) done. So for those of you that are my age (and that is too old to do this shit); move on. Realize that it is over and get a job. The young bucks have taken over and these are the ones that we need to get to know. I do not want to feel sad for you and the direction your life has taken anymore!

RE: The VMA's/Britney Spears

The note that follows is my strongly worded email to MTV.

Dear MTV,

You really faked us all out didn't you? As I turned on my television last night in anticipation of seeing Britney's comeback performance I was impressed with you all for giving her a second chance. Little did I know that it was all a big fat farce!

As you know, Britney did not perform and for those of us expecting a song, a glimmer something we (I) were sorely disappointed. I know that you never said she was going to sing but you led us to believe (and you know that you did) while touting her as the artist that was opening the show; that she would be on stage dancing and singing.

As for the rest of the show, there is no easy way to say this; it sucked! The performances were lackluster and the host (my God where did you find him?) was crass, without being funny, and just looked dirty. After about half the show I had had enough and changed the channel back to Sunday Night Football.

In conclusion just note that if you screw with your viewership we get mad and retaliate. I will not watch the VMA's again and see no reason to participate in the farce that once was Music Television. As for Britney, she deserved a second chance to show what she could or could not do and you all failed.

Sincerely,
Tivo Mom
