Joe Schmo 2 6.29.04

This third episode of the genius known as Joe Schmo 2 was by and far the best of the season. Ingrid (Jane Schmo) is the ultimate in conspiracy theorists and has basically since Day 1 thought something was wrong with this dating show. By the second episode she was certain some of the contestants were actors and had the producers and actors scrambling. In this third episode, she has keenly picked up on numerous things:
1. Some of the speeches seem rehearsed
2. Some of the situations are so bizarre there is no way its real
3. One of the actresses messes up and refers to her real name instead of her character name.
4. Above mentioned actress stops telling a very personal and embarrassing story that could get her kicked off the show while a cameraman switches batteries in the camera.

As it stands, the producers and everyone involved with the show is trying to decide what to do with Ingrid because they do not want her corrupting Joe Schmo, Tim who is so dead serious about this process its scary.

Best moment(s) of the night: When Bryce painted "Piper" (the name of the "bachelorette") on his forehead at the birthday party. Also, when Joe Schmo Tim gave Gerald (played by Degrassi alum, Shane), "the gotta be gay guy" a lapdance.

This show is reality TV mockery at its finest. I mean how many shows can get away with a "Pearl Necklace Ceremony" and a game that involves the bachelor and bachelorette eating from the female contests "BOXES" and the male contestants "SACKS"? Fucking brilliant!

Six Feet Under 6.27.04

Is it possible there happiness or at least a change for a possible better tomorrow is afront for the Fisher family? Tonight's SFU was so well written and as usual divinly acted. Some emotional points were missed and others surprising. Nate's semi-psychotic melt down in a strangers bed was scary but expected. Rico's heavenly foot bath was a welcomed surprise. He is knee deep in a whores scam and is in dire need of an intervention which may come in the form of his Latina wife's foot in his little arse. Claire continues to shine this season as the character most in need of a new purpose. Her utter disgust for everything including her disgust of everything strikes a chord. At times I am just so fed up with always being negative and hateful. Other times it seems like a supreme part of my being and my make up. But I know that I can be happier not being so negative and will work on that. Maybe I should burn all of my stuff and start a new? Not. I will just continue to be a better person at 30 and continue to watch Six Feet Under.
