I stumbled across another reality tv show!
Celebrity Duets is now on my calendar. First I saw this video of Little Richard.
Initially I wrote this show off, then I saw this clip of Queer Eye Jai:
I couldn't resist, one last vid of our little Tap Dance Kid...Carlton Banks all grown up:
Life is good.

I'm Back
Reality TV is back and so am I.
Let me start with Survivor: Race Wars.
With all of the hoopla over Mark Burnett's latest ratings stunt, I figured I would tune in to Survivor. How could I miss an opportunity to cheer on my own kind? So. Congratulations Mr. Burnett, you got me to tune in to the season premier. Here’s the thing:
I'm a reality TV junkie who hates Survivor, I don't care how many blacks you throw off the slave ship; I still don't like the show.
I've been watching for 30 minutes and I've already seen the black people take a break, the white people act like sluts, and the Asians lay healing hands on each other.
...And the contestants had hopes that this show would dispel some stereotypes.
How naive.
Moving on to Dancing with the Stars
First-
Let's hear a big “Peace Out Bow Tie Bitch” to Tucker. Although his performance was truly funny, I can't support someone that asinine in his day job. If you missed it, see below, pay close attention to Tucker's face.
Second-
Joey Lawrence was kind of hot in a grungy way, so different from his Blossom persona.
Finally-
Since Survivor Race Wars is not working out for me, I think I will play Dancing with the Stars: Race Wars.
For the Black Team:
Emmitt Smith-his ease on the dance floor, cool calm, and lucky pairing with Cheryl Burke make him a great contender. He single-handedly made viewers forget about Master P (aka "Club, Club, shuffle step, Club”) and Jerry Rice (charming but bad).
Vivica A. Fox (Yes Jomal, I know you love her name)-
Vivica was poised and elegant as any black lady over 40 should be on television (take note Mary J you have 3 years to figure it out), and she also demonstrated the requisite amount of rhythm for the race to support her in this competition.
Monique Coleman-
I had such high hopes for her because she was in High School Musical. Sadly she lacked star quality. I guess I can throw her some race votes until the competition gets really stiff. Given the choice between her and Mario Lopez, I'd have to vote for the dimples, sorry.
For the Hispanic Team:
Mario Lopez seems to be the only contender, although it is entirely possible that I've overlooked someone who identifies as Hispanic. Either way, Mario's performance was very strong and he will take Team Hispanic to the top 3. (I hope)
The White Team:
Tucker- already gone. Thank heavens.
Jerry- Too cute. Jerry is adorable in a way the George HAMilton could never be. I don't know how long Jerry will be around, but he can't dance so who cares.
As for the rest of the actor/beauty queen Caucasian pack it will be interesting to see who emerges as their strong dancer. Willa perhaps?
I love Michael Knight. Carry on.
On a lighter note-
For your viewing enjoyment, the ultimate reality show. The local news:
