It seems like every network is getting on the Reality TV band wagon. Not all of them will make it. As a matter of fact some of the ones that have premiered this week probably won't last. I read in the Washington Post today that NBC dumped the last episode of The Last Comic Standing because the ratings were so low. They shipped it off to Comedy Central and then announced the winner on the NBC web page. Sad.

I also read that Manhunt on Bravo had dismal ratings for their first show last week. Of course I had to check that show out. Oh my gosh, what a waste of time. Yes, the men are gorgeous and all but the show itself sucks. It's so lame. All these men have to do stupid things like jump out of airplanes in their underwear, go shopping, and do middle of the night photo shoots. And week by week more of them get kicked off the show. I can't imagine this show holding anyone's interest, beyond the bodies, for any length of time.

Last night was the premiere of The Biggest Loser on NBC. First off is that the show is hosted by Caroline Ray. She should be a contestant! I felt so sorry for all those overweight people having to get weighed on TV. I know I've had my struggles with weight in the past but I would never let someone weigh me on TV. All the contestants were on two teams. Each team had personal trainers working with them for a week. They busted their asses to lose weight. Granted, many of these people had plenty of weight to lose but man, one guy lost 22 pounds in one week! Is that healthy? I couldn't believe that. Anyway, they tempted the hell out of the fatties by putting foods in front of them they knew they couldn't eat. How cruel. This show might hold my interest because it'd be cool to see many of them lose their weight and feel better about themselves. But again, each week someone has to be voted off. Last night it was the chick who lost the least amount of weight. What they didn't realize was she was one of the skinniest people there and didn't have that much to lose.

I haven't gotten into Wife Swap on ABC so I can't speak to that one. It's too much like the one on Fox. Plus, I don't know if the women on ABC get money like the ones on the Fox show did. It's not worth my time.

Last night I taped He's A Lady on TBS and haven't watched it yet. This one looks fun because it's about a bunch of straight men having to live like women for 3 weeks. It'll be funny to see some ugly men in drag. But then again, I could go to the High Heel Race next Tuesday evening on 17th St. in DC and see the same thing. But I won't.
