Boredom, Disgust, and Anger

Last night was puttering along in fine fashion. I got out of work on time, met some family for dinner and a Twins game, and after making a few phone calls I settled in for some quick TiVo catch up. BAD IDEA! First up was the first live eviction of Big Brother 8 which was rather boring but by far the best part of my TiVo night. Not much to say as the first couple of evictions are usually pretty tame. Next up was Hey Paula, on Bravo!. This show is absolutely horrible for one reason alone…Paula Abdul is the very definition of a worthless human being. She’s so full of herself and demands that everyone cater to her every whim all the while not realizing that she’s still at best a B list celebrity. Unlike Nick and Jessica, or Bobby and Whitney, or the multitude of other celebs who have done reality TV, there is not a single moment on this show where Paula comes off as anything other then a reprehensible human being. I swear they’ll be an upcoming episode where she yells at someone for mixing the blue and the red M&M’s in her candy dish. Being in such a foul mood I quickly turned on the latest 1st round ep of the World Series of Pop Culture. The first match featured a team that I’m going to pick to win the whole thing, Wocka Wocka. They mowed down their opponent and my spirits were once again bolstered especially when they announced the next match would feature returning champion El Chupacabra. Unfortunately here’s where my night went really sour as I witnessed one of the biggest frauds in the history of all competition be exposed. Last year I remember El Chupacabra having some real close calls on their way to victory and that their lone male team member really carried them. Well last night it was proven out that this team either got fat(er) on their victory or there really wasn’t anything there to begin with. I usually yell at contestants on the WSPC but last night I was YELLING! The defending champs were a disgrace to pop culture fanatics everywhere missing questions on 30 Rock, Rocky, Kevin Smith films, etc. etc. Seriously I know one of them is pregnant with twins but unless the babies are some kind of X Men style mutants that suck the pop culture smarts out of anyone within their vicinity then that’s no excuse. Worse yet the other team was almost as bad. When a defending champ goes down you want to see an up and comer beat them but this was just a case of one team sucking a little more then the other. Either do your best to avoid this ep in reruns over the weekend or do your best to catch it if you want to put a little anger salad in your weekend.
