i agree with you 100%. we foolishly bought the series on itunes…
and thusly feel compelled to keep watching it. ugh.

I agree.

But there’s an island, with sweaty people, and time travel, and an underground base, and a dust monster, and a polar bear. Ah, crap. It blows.

which supports my claim that LOST watchers are just sheep following the LOST flock. :-P

I don’t think Lost is dumb, and I’ve watched it since before it became “cool”.

But you know what is really dumb? “The Moment of Truth” on Fox. But it sounds like the kind of show that your readers would enjoy. Ouch! Flame on!

jimbob - I watched LOST before it was “cool” and gave up when it became poop in a basket. I have to agree that “the moment of truth’ is dumb. I never even gave it a glance. I have a feeling my readers are super high intelligence peoples, so I wouldn’t insult them by assuming they’d like Moment of Truth.

I do, however, have a feeling that we’re all part of a sick bunch who dig horrible reality programming. I admit it, smiling.

I have a love/hate relationship with LOST. Last season was total doo doo but this season is starting to pick back up! Well… until last Thursday’s show focusing on Michael.

And they’ve dropped a few story lines rather quickly (where the hell did that black smoke monster go?!).

I think LOST is an acquired taste… must like Rock of Love or Moment of Truth (seriously? was that guy really implying that your readers just enjoy watching people answer stupid questions while their loved ones watch in horro?).

Rock of Love is just filthy. You can pick up a strain of herpes just watching the promos. But ho competitions make good TV these days.

As for Moment of Truth, this is reality television in its purest form. All entertainment is based on some form of conflict, and reality television relies on people conflicting with one another and acting badly. It’s the violent outbursts and shocking actions that viewers remember.

Moment of Truth strips away nearly all pretense. No fancy house. No physical challenges. No vote-offs or bullshit alliances. There is just pure, unadulterated human horror. Viewers get to see exactly what they want: horrid behavior and real emotional pain.

I predict that next season will be even simpler…the “contestant” will sit there while the host reads off all the horrible things they have done in their life. The longer they sit before hitting some cartoonish “stop” button, the more money they win.

Mt Brooks, about rock of love i know what your saying is true isnt it great!
on March 24, 2008 at 5:39 pm mtbrooks

Just wait for the Rock of Love/Flavor of Love mashup. Former contestants will be sequestered in a house where they compete for prizes like antibiotics and a used Ford Taurus. It’s coming. Set your tivo.

I think we’re done here.

I’m a fan of filthy, antibiotics, and the sad used for Taurus (it reminds me of when my dad had a rental car and would get me from my mom’s).

I WILL separate you two.
