WTF
And tg's WFT award tonight goes to 'Average Joe 2'. And this is saying a lot. I watched that horrible American Idol show and listened to the new Eden show from the other room.
But WTF?!!! I watched the first Average Joe and nearly cried when she didn't pick Adam. Sure, ditch the handsome millionare with a sense of humor and a brain and so much romance he can't contain it and go for the shallow really handsome guy who still lives with his parents. Ha. Sure, that makes sense. NOT!
But tonight... I could have SWORN the reason they showed the shows in reverse order (technically they filved AvJoe2 before they filmed AvJoe1) was because this one had a happy ending. Brian actually said the Love word to her. I have said that to my boyfriend and I've been with him 3 and a half years. LOL He made her cry, he arranged beautiful dates for her, and he was so sweet and funny and romantic and confessed all his feelings about his heart and their future together and how he'd move out of Boston for her. Whereas Gill's a hick from Florida who couldn't string 2 words together and showed her how to dry wall. But he's pretty. So she fucking picked him over Brian who loves her. Gill can't even answer basic questions. She asked what he wanted to get out of the experience and he said "I want to be an actor" (he's scared of cameras, mind) and Brian says he wants to move out of his hometown because he loves her. And she chooses GILL? WTF????!!!!!!!! BITCH! I don't understand!!!!! Aren't there other girls in this world who like cute dorky romantic guys? What's these women's problems that they get sucked in by a handsome face, even if there's nothing inside?
And then the big bomb drop of the episode... When I heard she had a surprise/secret of her own I immediately thought the worst. Oh, she was raped. Or oh, she had an abortion. Or she lost her parents in a freak fire accident. Or something along those lines. But then I thought, no, shallow. Think shallow. So I came up with "I used to be engaged but I called it off because I was frightened of actually making a commitment". But no. Not even that. After she went and picked the IDIOT gorgeous guy, she goes away with him on a trip and on the last day tells him that she dated Fabio. Which, to me, means nothing. I just shrugged and said "That's it?" He FLIPPED OUT. Didn't talk to her directly after, then immediately left. WTF??? Then she gets all sad saying that she went on this dating show and dumped all these guys and now she's the one getting dumped. Um. Yeah. Because you chose the shallow good-looking guy who has no capacity to think. I just don't get it. What did she THINK she was doing? Obviously she's used to dating good-looking guys... shouldn't she know by now how they'd take it? I don't get it... why is it such a problem? I called boyfriend and he didn't get it either. He said maybe because it shows very poor judgement and you wouldn't want to be dating someone who was stupid enough to date Fabio. I can see that. But somehow I don't think that's Gill's problem. I think maybe he was worried he wouldn't measure up? Oh my gods. This was a horrible, HORRIBLE show. I didn't even feel anger towards her when I was supposed to be making fun of her at the end for getting dumped. I just sat opened mouthed, in awe of such stupidity. Is there NO sanity left in women these days? Even when they go on shows that show them that there is more to a guy then looks they still end up with the handsome guy with no brain. WTF? And there were actually a few handsome guys WITH brains that she dumped. I don't get it. And she got what she deserved, yes, but she hurt a good man (I cried when she dumped him... he looked SO sad) and that makes me feel beyond angry. So, that's my WTF moment of the evening.
My WTF moment of the whole day, on the other hand, goes to Bush and his government for the Haitian coup. What, now that we've captured one bad guy we suddenly think it's right to go around abducting other countries' presidents? I just... gah... I'm angry and outraged beyond words.
I think it's easiest for me to complain about pointless things like television shows and awards shows because I just can't find words to complain about politics. I'm just baffled as to why the fuck Bush got this far. Only possible reason is that the rest of the country is just as clueless and stupid as he is. But that doesn't help me feel any better about the people he hurts. Growl.
