I can't believe what I'm seeing. Is this really real?
I was watching "Keeping Up With The Kardashians" (don't judge) this afternoon. When that show was over the next one began. I'm still waiting for the punchline. Here I was, being welcomed by the host to "Fake or Real: The ultimate plastic surgery game show". Huh?
Our host informed us that three women would be coming on stage, each trying to convince the "celebrity judges" that they've had plastic surgery when, in fact, only one has. If the judges claim that someone looks "Fake" when they are actually "Real" then that woman wins the prize of... wait for it... $1,000.
yeah.
I kept waiting for the laugh track. Something to tell me that this was not only a joke to me, but to those participating.
I just about lost it when I saw the "celebrity judges". Now, I'm not making this up, the first judge was from MadTV, Debra Skelton. I do think she's funny but, um, well... anyway. The second "celebrity judge" was, and I am NOT making this up, brief-case carrier number 11 from "Deal or No Deal". WHAT?!? The third "celebrity judge" made a lot more sense, it was the delightful pink tie wearing plastic surgeon Dr. Robert Rey from E's own "Dr. 90210".
Yet, still no laugh track, and everyone seemed to be taking this seriously.
I had to draw the line when I saw the first contestant. She came bouncing down the little staircase as hard as she could. It made my back hurt.
What's going on here?!? Are these people serious? If this is something that continues to air on the E! Network I have some words to say to my TV boyfriend, The Soup's Joel McHale... 'Run! Run Like The Wind!'

Rofl...they can make a game show (or reality show) out of anything these days!
ReplyDeleteROFL
ReplyDeleteWait. Let me see if I've got this straight. It's considered a good thing if you look FAKE but they're actually REAL? Isn't that kind of insulting?
ReplyDelete"Robin, good news! You look like you had a really bad boob job!"
"Oh no, Ann, it's even BETTER than that! They're real and they're spectacular!"
Gawd, when did it all go downhill?
ROFLMAO! LOL! OMG! I'm dying! I am a reality junkie, so now you know I have to go on a quest to see this....you have to be kidding me!
ReplyDeleteBut Robin, that's just it, we're not supposed to let it go "downhill"!
ReplyDeleteI didn't watch the rest of the show, but I'm sure it was sponsored by the Plastic Surgeons of America.
Sigh. I know. But I fear it's too late. :(
ReplyDeletePS- Did ya catch my Seinfeld ref? One of my favorite eps!
I HAVE to see this! Thanks for the heads up...
ReplyDeleteI don't know what to say.. you stumped me on this one.. you have got to be kidding me!
ReplyDeleteWhat!? Joel McHale is my TV boyfriend!!! That 2 timer! Seriously though, The Soup is my favorite show on TV...I don't kid.
ReplyDeletehow very very pathetic!
ReplyDeleteThey will put anything of tv these days...but now my curious side has got to google this and check out to see how pathetic it is...lol!
ReplyDeleteSee, and that's just one of the reasons I don't watch networks like E! Blechhhhhhhhhhh. That has got to be the DUMBEST show I've ever heard of.
ReplyDeleteJustine :o )
I think it's sad. They (I mean many people/shows/"experts") make it seems like we HAVE to have surgery as we age otherwise we fail.
ReplyDeleteI don't buy it.
Um yeah no thanks. I'll stick with Celebrity court. You know the show where they let celebrities be the jury.
ReplyDeleteI'm addicted to reality tv (my husband, not so much) but even I would draw the line at that one...just ridiculous! I love Keeping up with the Kardashians...hilarious!
ReplyDeleteOMG that sounds like a freakshow! Dr. Rey alone makes it a freakshow.
ReplyDeleteAnd Joel McHale is sooooo cute!!
OK that's just bizarre!
ReplyDeleteSeriously?!?? That is crazy! At least I know i could NEVER be a contestant on the game show ;)
