Reality show update . . . the black woman didn't get a rose on the Bachelor!! Is anyone shocked? :-) I knew something was up when she got a lot of interview time. I want everyone to think about this when you're watching your next reality show . . . the rule of thumb seems to be that the person who's about to get kicked off gets an inordinate amount of camera time. It's like the editors want to give them a last hurrah before removing them from their 14 1/2 minutes of fame.
In the meantime, I'm seriously wondering about the fate of The G-Spot. It's been over 2 years, and I don't know what to do with it. To write it, or not to write it? Feels like it's getting kind of old and the last thing I want to do is keep writing this rag until I have an audience of 1. But don't worry . . . I'll keep everyone posted.

There's a new feature on the RantSpot, and that's the one where you can make comments! How brave am I?
The way you do it is to click on the bottom of the post that you wish to comment on (right now it should say "comments 0") and fill in the blanks. But be nice, dammit! :-)

Oh, and by the way . . . when I was in South Africa, I saw the Bachelor crew filming at Table Mountain, so I'm assuming that one of Bachelor Bob's excursion dates was in South Africa. I looked for him while I was up there, but was more enthralled with the beautiful landscape and dramatic vistas than checking up on the Bachelor exploits. Go figure, right?
In case there are those who are unfamiliar with Tivo (you poor things), the way it works is that you record things you like, and then Tivo starts picking things to randomly record on your behalf based on what it thinks your preferences are. It's kind of weird to see what sort of programming it chooses.
For example, when I got the system, I immediately got a "season's pass" to Queer Eye for the Straight Guy, which is sheer hilarity. Based on that choice, Tivo put me in the gay programming bucket and began taping shows like Boy Meets Boy and Will and Grace. I love Will and Grace, but not excited about homosexual dating shows, so I had to fem it up by choosing shows like Trading Spaces (which probably didn't help) and Oprah. Then I added the reality shows like Bachelor.
Well now I'm on the reality show list, and got a couple of episodes of Nick and Jessica: Newlyweds. And, once again, I'm slightly embarassed to say that I'm hooked, although I am. And the reason I'm hooked is because I'm baffled that Jessica Simpson can even put her own shoes on in the morning. When I say that she has about 8 brain cells, I'm really being generous.
Case in point . . . there was a scene where she was eating dinner with her husband and another couple at Tony Roma's. One of her friends offered her a buffalo wing, and she said "No thanks. I don't eat buffalo." Everyone was like "What?" She insisted that she doesn't eat buffalo. And then her friend made a comment like "No, see, chicken wings were created in buffalo . . ." [which made me fully understand why they're friends], and Nick, embarrased, said something like "C'mon honey, you know this." She insisted that she didn't. I believe her.
