It's all over the news right now because one of the men punched one of the women in the face. I've heard that the actually scene of that won't be shown on the show, but I've seen it several times on the news. I haven't watched it, and won't because I'm not interested in behavior like that. But I've seen a few discussions about the term "guido" being used by the young people. They say they are "taking ownership" of the word and that it's a good things, while others say it's a bad thing, like using the "N" word.

It wasn't one of the men from the show who punched the 'guidette' - it was a guy from the bar where they were partying.

Anyone watch Ramsay's Cookalong Live last night? I love Ramsay (because I get his UK shows on BBCAmerica--I HATE his Hell's Kitchen and whatever Kitchen Nightmares is called over here), but the show to me was very blah. I don't think anyone is going to be able to convince Americans to cookalong live at 9 PM--hell, even 8 is pushing it--and I'm far less interested in 3 C list celebs cooking with him than, say, seeing him cook more slowly or having a real person on there. To top it off, I recognized the recipes from The F Word show. It's a shame because I know he did a few Cookalong shows in the UK that went reasonably well....Oh well.

I watched the first show of Jersey Shore and that was it for me. I wasn't offended with the constant guido'ing because they seemed to own the word and made it a positive but besides that those people were more than obnoxious, immature, and most unlikable. This coming from me, someone who watches almost all reality shows and can find something interesting or entertaining from them all, however Jersey Shore is a gigantic gross failure.

What's with TLC's preoccupation with "little people"? They already have, Little People, Big World and The Little Couple, and will soon launch a new show, The Little Chocolatiers which features another little couple who own a chocolate shop in Salt Lake City. Not that there's anything wrong with that, but it does seem a little obsessive.

TLC loves their little people and multiples and also people with extreme physical conditions. In a way they make these people more familar. I saw the promo for the Chocolatiers...I love all things chocolate so I'll be watching. I think it's TLC's little niche.

I saw a heart breaking show on last week. I think it was called the Mermaid Girl or something like that.

I posted this in the Home Improvement thread, but I don't think anyone goes there anymore. So.. I shall cross post here: Extreme Home Makeover was taping here in Gainesville FL last week. I learned a lot about this show. First thing is that there were 5 families up for the makeover. They families didn't know which one got it till the morning wake up. This is a HUGE production. They blocked off several streets and took over the baseball / rec fields as set up areas. They ask for a lot of donations, from sharpie pens to motor homes. Ty was only there the first two days and the last two days. It actually took 2 weeks, not one week like I thought. This was from start (morning wake up) to finish (Move the bus) then several days finishing up. Really awesome production. I will say this (feel bad to say it) but I know of the family... and while they are very good people, I felt that the other families were a bit more deserving. It will be interesting to watch to see why they were chosen. All in all... very very enlightening. If you have one in your area.. you should go and check it out and if possible.. volunteer!

OMG, did anybody watch the Kardashians last night? Kris put viagra in Bruce's coffee, and Rob accidentally drank it. He had to go to the hospital because he couldn't get his erection to go down and he had no idea he had taken viagra. I've only been watching this show a short time, and I REALLY hope most of this stuff is made up. Otherwise, these people really are nuts...LOL

I literally only saw my first ep of them a couple weeks ago. They did a few days of mini marathons right before the season premiere, and I just left my tv on all day with Kardashians. I found myself running to the tv because whatever was happing sounded so funny.

I don't want to start two of the same thread, but I know some people only visit the reality show area, so I just wanted to say I started a thread in the regular TV shows area asking what we think will remember most about this decade in TV. I hope for everyone to join in. ../6465/7273381.html"

I just found out that I now have the Style channel, LOL, and have been watching clean house. Man that gal who "won" the messiest house in America 3 sure were ungrateful stupid people (I get red dots for what I really want to say, LOL). I couldn't believe that the detective would even be on the show and let her co-workers see that mess, and then for her to walk away, amazing. Does anyone know if they ever followup with these people? I would love to know if the fix took.

Dipo, last week??? I watched a several hours of Clean House. First I have to say this show fascinates me. Those homes aren't "messy" they are beyond messy. Anyway I doubt those homes have been kept clean. I haven't seen any "what are they doing now" shows. I'm sorta confused. There use to be a show on TLC with this subject matter. Is this the same show only different hosts??

Last week? I am not sure what you are asking. I have been watching today. There have been a couple of shows on TLC, Clean Sweep which was a show like Clean House and there was one of those "filty/dirty house" cleaning shows. This This show seems like a little bit of a combination of Clean Sweep and Hoarders, but some of these houses seem to be pretty dirty as well.

Dipo, sorry - 1 too many glasses of wine with dinner. I meant to say I watched several hours LAST WEEK... I don't know where those ??? came from....maybe the merlot monster. It was clean sweep that I was thinking about.

I really liked Clean Sweep. I haven't seen a new ep. in a long time. I have seen some of Necie's Clean House (and also some follow up shows, some were clean, some not, I think she gave gifts to those who kept clean, but I can't remember for sure) In my mind, it seemed like the people were worse on Necie's show than on Clean Sweep. (as far as the mess and the dirt)
