Where reality meets TV
It's 4 in the morning and I really should be getting some sleep but I'm too psyched about doing an interview with David and Mary, the coalminers of "The Amazing Race All-Stars." From now on, I'll be doing an interview and article for teams eliminated from the show until the end of the race.
Which means I'll get to speak to Rob and Amber, Team Guido, Uchenna and Joyce, Oswald and Danny, and Charla and Mirna at some point during the next few weeks.
Oh yes, I'm officially bragging and I'm giddy all over! I've been going over the questions and I still can't decide which ones I'm going to use.
Now in another TV show, I've watched "Wazzup! Wazzup!" for the first time today. I thought it was funny albeit a little brainless, although I think that's the point of the show. Anyways, there was this part where they feature Mo Twister's interview over the radio.
This might just be the case of me getting old because I never considered myself prudish but I was disgusted by the topic they were discussing. Number one, I don't think Mo is that hot. Number two, I don't care when was the last time he did it, or what are the most daring things he did just to get it or the celebrities he's slept with.
I thought it was tasteless and a pathetic attempt to revive a career that never hit off in the first place. It's like Kathy Griffin's "My Life on the D-List" minus the humor and wit.
If there's any consolation about the whole thing, it is that Mo is a chauvinist pig and he's proud of it. Hat's off to you, Mo. May more mindless bimbos find their way to you!
When I changed into another channel, I saw Winnie Monsod talking to Miguel Zubiri, Nikki Coseteng and some obscure candidate from KBL. Despite Mareng Winnie's attempt to have some decent conversation with her guests, all she got were campaign jibberish from the three.
The conversation went something like this (They're not verbatim so please don't sue me if I got some details wrong):
Mareng Winnie: Why are you running?
Zubiri: There will be more evil if the few good people would not lead. I'm from Mindanao, I got voted as the Most prolific speaker at the so and so congress, so many of my friends wanted me to run. If it was just me, I would rather be making babies. I recently got married.
(I'm sure there are plenty of good people from Mindanao, but I don't see them gunning for a position in the national government. Knowing how to speak the language and having a Literature prof as a speech writer, doesn't make you a great lawmaker. If it was just me, I'd rather you stay home and make babies.)
Coseteng: I want to be known as someone who makes a stand, in whatever issue there is.
(Is this suppose to impress me? I try to make a stand in issues that affect me, does that make me qualified to run as senator? You reek of traditional politician through and through. God help us if you become a senator again)
KBL candidate: Imelda Marcos...gibberish... Marcos wealth.... gibberish... Faster proceedings... gibberish... release the wealth.... gibberish...help the people through the Marcos wealth... gibberish... make a law to release Marcos wealth... gibberish.
