reality tv possibly too ridiculous even for me

Okay, here are some highlights for those of you not watching "I'm a Celebrity, Get Me Out of Here." I ran across it last night when nothing was on (must we show wrestling on my SVU/House rerun channel?). Then tonight, it's on again, and I'm watching it, which is just a testament to my dislike for the particular House rerun that's on. Although, wait, I just realized that regular Law and Order is on, so perhaps I won't be watching the rest of the show. Anyway, back to IACGMOOH: It's truly unbelievable. I don't know if I'll be watching it regularly, but how hilarious is it when I catch it? Mucho.

So tonight, Heidi, of "The Hills" fame (Is that the right show? I don't watch any of those shows, so I mainly know Heidi and Spencer from watching "The Soup") professes that her plan in life is to be godly, in her words, "like Mother Teresa." This in a conversation with Stephen Baldwin, who went through a speech about how Spencer needs to be baptized. So, in the process, they go to the confessional camera with Spencer. He goes on to explain how it astounds him that Heidi prays every day, and that things come true when she prays for him. His example? That one time Heidi convinced him to pray for something he really wanted, and he prayed that they could double date with Miley Cyrus. And they got the date within a month. Yes, that's what I'd like to waste my heavenly gifts on. A double date with Miley Cyrus. This after last night they literally got into a shouting/cussing/Spencer-hitting-females match partially because one of the co-campers tore Heidi's name label off of her designer dry shampoo bottle.

I like Frangela, whom I know from those shows like Best Week Ever. And Janice Dickinson is obviously a reality show whore. The wrestler girl I've never heard of, and really, is Sanjaya from American Idol doing anything else? (On a side note: I love that every time any show plays a clip of Sanjaya from American Idol, it's ALWAYS the one where he sang that Gwen Stefani song, when according to the Hollywood rumors, Gwen Stefani tried to prevent him from singing that song because she thought he sucked so bad.) But, really, Lou Diamond Phillips? Doesn't he have either (a) enough money to avoid these types of things and/or (b) other opportunities that don't involve eating a rat's tail?

Then, tonight, Spencer insists on competing with Heidi on one of the competitions because he refuses to allow Sanjaya to go into the woods with Heidi. Would anyone really be jealous of Sanjaya with his girlfriend? And isn't Sanjaya gay?

I particuarly enjoy, after Spencer's big Christian speech, he then proceeded to describe, by referring to himself in third person, that he doesn't care about his team, that he'd throw their fish dinner in the river just as soon as give it to them.

So just before I changed the channel, Heidi and Spencer tell everyone they're quitting the show (way to commit to something, Pratts) and then decide that Stephen Baldwin is going to baptize him in the river. It's pretty bad when Janice Dickinson is the voice of reason, saying that the baptism is totally bogus. My finger depressed the button the remote just as Spencer came out of the water with his hands raised yelling hallelujah.
