The celebrity scene

What’s the story with all of these reality shows staring celebrities (or have-beens)? I don’t understand these shows at all … celebrities compete against each other to see who is the best singer, dancer, chef, mechanic – just about anything. I think it just goes to show what risks celebrities will take to stay in the spotlight. You may be the former mayor of Cincinnati and a famous trash talk-show host, but if you can’t win the tango competition on TV, you’re nothing! The celebrities that they have on these shows aren’t terribly appealing to me (although I think the judges are even worse - but that's for another blog post). I’d like to see Oprah on dancing with the stars. Or Katie Couric dancing the jive. Maybe Don Cherry on a celebrity version of survivor (let’s see what he would do with this silly racial segregation thing they have going right now). Perhaps the most disappointing thing I’ve ever seen celebrities in is Celebrity Jepoardy. Not only are the questions super easy, but the celebrities often don’t remember to phrase the answer in the form of a question! Come on Hollywood folk – you can memorize lines for a 3 hour snooze fest about looking for lost treasure in the desert, but you can’t remember to say “what is”?
