So okay...from now on I will be dedicating a part of my blog to "Pop Culture". I will talk about anything making news in our lives that the media force feeds us on a daily bases! It will be anything from Octo-mom, American Idol, Obama, and Celebrity trash.
The reason I am doing this is simple- I cant stand how retarded some of the things are that we talk about, the things that we give attention to and that concern us. I will try my best to be democratic, but mostly I will be honest.
The last 24 hours of TV have had me begging God for mercy and asking what the hell is going on with reality programming! It also had me fuming on viewer comments and feedback. So I immediately thought I had to get to bloging!
So without further overselling...my rants on American Idol & The Bachelor!
Ill start with the Bachelor. "PEOPLE.....GET OVER IT!"
I didn't watch any of this seasons episodes- maybe one in the beginning, when he was in the hot tub (but ABC sold me on that one- I'm sure everyone watched that one...you know why!) But - if you watched one- you have watched them all. But naturally everyone was so fired up over last nights "After the Rose Ceremony" when Bachelor Jason changed his mind, broke off his engagement Mellisa and in the same episode asked for another chance with #2 mail order bride (Molly)- the one he told previously that wasn't the one for him.
A "shocking turn of events" the media was calling it...and everyone from the checkers at the grocery store to the weather girls on TV were suddenly- turning REAL bitter! There was a whole lot of man hating going on yesterday and the water coolers were bustling with sympathy for the poor broken hearted Mellisa. "She was dumped, He cheated, He cant make up his mind, Poor thing, Men are scum!" that all I heard from people everywhere.
I'm going through my day just trying to figure this all out and all I could think was....WHAT THE FUCK PEOPLE!!!!!!!!
I think Jason showed allot of integrity to go on national television and go with what is heart told him and not make another mistake in his life. He already had one divorce and a child to care for- and EVEN if the decision would not be easy - he knew he had to go with what he felt was right.
How many people do that today? So many people are afraid of making decisions in their life and in thier ultimate happiness, just because it might cause a bit of hurt. Forget about the fact that you are not happy- or your really not "In Love" with someone.
To all the crazy women (mostly) out there stabbing poor Jason and using him as a target for all their failed relationships (or whatever)...I say this.
" The Bachelor is a show that is created in a matter of months. On a weekly basis women are thrown against each other competing for attention, while more than likely being intoxicated half the time (note the amount of champagne consumed) in hopes of getting a chance to marry someone they DO NOT KNOW! They "chose" to be on a "TV SHOW" that will exposed their most vulnerable feelings to a man (and America) in hopes that they will "miraculously" fall in love AND GET MARRIED over such a short time period. Now when anything goes wrong- we villanize the bachelor and forget the actual context of the show!"
There are no rules when you go on the Bachelor, so why are we shocked that something unconventional happened. We are so quick to dismiss the fact that these women actually believe that you can fall in love and REALLY know a person in a few short months? Are we really naive to the fact that Jason was being more realistic and probably had allot more to lose than a single mail order bride? They will all be famous in thier own right- thats why they wanted to be on TV in the first place!
Get over it and stop the man hating! You should respect Jason's decision because I think he has some idea of what a real relationship will take, and that is time. In addition to the unconventional facts, has anyone even thought about the success rate of all the previous bachelors...or bachelloret? The girls have broken off some engagements too! All relationships require time, honesty, and nuturing- not a TV audience and public scrutiny.
Can you imagine if you were a parent and your child called you up and said "Hey Mom & Dad. I went in this TV show two months ago and met this guy. I competed with 20 other women and its down to me and one other girl. We are coming to see you so he can meet the family and see if your good enough- we are still taping so everything will be on TV. I really love him and if I get picked, he will marry me. What do you think? You wanna meet him?"
Geez people- get a grip and take it for what its worth!
AS FOR AMERICAN IDOL....
I am just beside myself trying to fugure out how all these promising young people, continue to choose BAD, HORRIBLE and just plain FUCKEN RETARDED songs. I wont even go into the bad dancing this season.
I never curse on my Blogs, but I've obviously had enough.
I didnt mind when we added a 4th judge, I didnt mind when the way people were voted off changed (although stupid) and I didnt mind when some bad people (Tatianna, Norman, etc.) got into the top 36- Its a reality show I get the way rating work. But mostly im just so so annoyed that these contestants are stupid and clueless...even after a million seasons of Idol watching under thier belts.
I think by now- any good contestant should have watched the show, known that song choice is key, known what the judges want, know how to dress, know how to move or "perform on stage" and just plain known better! If you follow the show- you were probably like me asking yourself "what the hell is going on?"
Last night I chose people to publicly (mercilessly) hate on. They ahve ahd weeks to choose songs, watch, the shows, hear the judges, find out how to move, and what to wear! The contestants from round three had no excuses and I expected more- if not an bread crumb of idea of how to put on a show.
I want to thank Lil Rounds for the best performance of the night! The blind guy (Scott)is just stupid now- if he wasnt blind would you really look at him and say "I wanna buy his CD". The Puerto Rican guy (Jorge) is retarded too- all that crying was cute but it wont get him votes- he's just filler. The dorky guy (Alex)..come on now: Horrible a waste of my life!
Now for my new favorite person to hate (since Tatianna was booted) Nathaniel. Hold onto your hats and glasses!
Nathiel is CLUELESS! He can't sing, he cant dance, and he CANT DRESS! He gets the official "WHAT THE FUCK!" The damn headband, the piercings, the scarfs, the drama queen antics...ugh! I dont think he owns a TV or has seen any magazines because if he did he would notice he always wears pants WAY to small for his fat legs and come on...all the tatoos and stuff, he reminds me of Blake Lewis from last season (runner up) EXCEPT REALLY GAY! Sorry Blake! But back to Nathaniel...ugh...just horrible. I feel sorry for him beacuse he is obviously someone that comes from a broken home and is simply doing anythign he can to get attention....but besides that....He needs to go! I cant wait till he gets booted tonight.
Say Hi to Tatianna!
Whew...im glad I got that all off mychest! LOL!

Oh okay now we want to go all "pop culture". Well here is my opinion. I do not watch the Bachelor, but here is what I think. For a single father to go on national TV to find a wife and a mother for his child is pretty stupid. I actually think that he was in it more for the money. How can someone think that marriage is the next step after only weeks of getting to know someone. It is hard enough to do that with one person but when you have all these other women around how can one be certain. Call me old fashion I guess I am still hoping that love really does exist out there. I think that Jason telling Mellisa before things got too serious was curagious enough, but why propose at all? Most men now a days think they can get away with cheating and yes some women do it as well. Those are the real stupid ones.
No onto the other show American Idol. Well I have to agree with you. All you hear the judges say is chosing the song is the most important thing and yet even the thrid group still did it, but I have to say that at least they were a little better than the other two groups. Yes Lil Rounds did give the best performance last night and well what you said about Nathaniel was right on cue. I could not have said it anymore. I feel bd for him with what he had to go through, but come on already who the hell taught you how to dress?
Well, now that I have that off my chest thanks for the lovely recap.
Blake Lewis was already pretty gay to begin with.
What were your thoughts on Adam Lambert?
