guh...what have I become? Oh yeah a reality tv junkie for a night... mairde

I watched the last half hour of For Love or Money Two. Dear lord. That is a half hour I will never ever ever get back. I should have watched a rerun of Carrie Bradshaw stoned. At least I would have been entertained by the ever present bra on the backless dress (um note to Patricia Field: that look will NEVER be chic, no matter how hard you try to jam it down our throats...big flower pins maybe... bra straps on strapless dresses...come on, give american women a little credit mmmk?). Noooo I had to watch some lame ass reality show on nbc. Next monday... please lord give me someplace to be other than at home so I am not tempted to watch it a second time.

I did watch the Restaurant again, and it only took three episodes for the coworkers making out. Love it. BOH and FOH bitching about one another? Catty and true. Demotions to being a expo? Well that never actually happened to me, but I made more money when I was on call expoing one night that I would have made waiting so that may not be the worst thing ever Pete. The singing host? We get it, you want your camera time too, now get back to your podium. Rocco? Shame on you for playing your mother to that pissed off table. Shame shame shame. Its 2:40 in the fucking morning... let mama go home already asshole. Catherine honey... don't go back. Don't kiss and make up with Rocco. His restraunt is shit from what Mark Burnett has made it look like, you don't want to work there. You don't like being nice to people, find a bar to work at... please, you will make more money getting people drunk than serving them cold food. Gideon... oh gideon, honey, I feel badly for you and I know you need a good job, but I hope by now you have realized, two very important words for the waitron vernacular.... workman's comp. Its on tape, the floors were slick, you were working in the wrong shoes because your employer made you get glasses. Go on the dole honey. Topher in the weeds about to cry... been there. Still having the waitress nightmares.... helllllloooo station 6 that keeps growing longer and longer with screaming customers with thier special orders (in in in) and no oil or no wok spice... damn you subconcious it has been ten years already stop it. And Rocco? Not so cute and how far on the table was that camera man to be able to catch that chick groping the italian goodies? Believe me I have shot camera work and that dude was standing on the table or something...subtle. It did make me want to go to Bucca De Beppo or the Olive Garden for dinner. I should have I wouldn't have been stuck watching that chick and her "date". (and yes I have been reading several boards that the "cast" members have been posting on and really I wish them well, I am only sorry that they have been caught up in the editing that makes it look like such a disaster, because they are all really probably very very VERY nice people but the show makes everything look like a complete disaster and doesn't make them look like the good waitstaff that they probably really are. I wish them all well in their careers, food service and otherwise, I am only sorry that many of them have to feel like they are having to defend themselves because of clever editing. But its tv. and I hope that those that don't still work there have found really kick ass places or plays or whatever and it was the boost that they needed for their lives!). It also makes me really glad that I am not in the biz right now, but am very seriously thinking about getting back because I desperately need the cash. That is a different story all together.

And yes, I will be watching Last Comic Standing. I hate Jay Mohr, but I hate these comics that are vying for the talent prize more. Really I didn't want to, but sheese... by the end I just didn't like any of them. Ralphie May? We get it you WANT CHEAP GAS, fine, if I never have to hear you freak on it again I will fill your tank myself, shut up. Don't live in LA honey because its 'spensive there. Dat Phan? you ain't dat funny because honey Margaret Cho already did that same material (and still does but hers is funnier because its about gay porn and her mother) and got her shot at a series, talk to her and ask her how that worked out mmm k? Corey Kahaney? Ok your stuff was ok but not on stage, but I like you because you have a child to support. The Don? Wow, insulting the audience that is new and original. Tess, honey... I hope you win girl. I don't know why but you being a black woman I would love to see someone give Whoopi a run for her tired ass. My prediction? Corey Kaheney. I will watch it like the tv addict that I am. If I choose to go to the gym at 7 when it starts, I will have my tuches on the stationary bikes and will have the tv on in front of me watching it. Other people in the gym be damned. Ok I will tape it too. Just incase there is a mutany and someone really wants to watch a rerun of Everybody Loves Raymond. I think my gym has the Everyone Loves Raymond channel because no matter when I go, no matter what day, it is always on that stupid tv. Its lame. I don't love Raymond...so it isn't everyone and they should change the name of the lame show.
