I guess, when it comes down to it, what I rot my brain watching on the tube says more about me than about the shit i watch…i cannot help myself when it comes to “reality” TV…(god, save my soul)…I like to pretend it is excercise for my career outside of tinymeat and that some how all these shows are little mental health case studies…yeah, whatever…it is fun and it does allow me to keep my diagnostic skills tuned-up…
let’s start with the second season of mikey’s and my tv obsession…BLOW OUT…for mikey i think the attraction is all the homoeroticy, for me it is i can’t believe what a douchebag “i’m not good enough, someone validate me”- jonathan antin is…he cracks me up…i think a drinking game should be devised for whenever jonathan cries, states “dirt is an awesome product” or “it’s about the hair”. wait a second, i wanna crack open my dsm-iv, ok…here it is…301.81 Narcissistic Personality Disorder…yeah, he meets more than 5 of the criteria(sprinkled with some abandonment stuff)…but thank god, ’cause that makes for good television watching (and let’s be honest, who doesn’t meet the criteria for one dsm diagnosis or another). So tonight is the season finale as Jonathan heads to QVC…oo lala… i am sure we will also get to see more of that annoying little fruitfly of an assistant, Scott…what a trip, that little boy just needs to be spanked…his campiness is so over the top, but not in an entertaining way, more in a very irritating, “i want a role on will and grace way”…YAWN. Personally, the best part of this whole season was the clash of the uber-narcissists when Jonathan and that graphic designer(christ, what is his name…he kinda reminds me of that ratty looking guy in fast times at ridgemont high…but i digress)anyway, yeah that was the best…i kept hoping they would just get into a bitchslap match. But, i have to admit, the rest has been pretty weak…comeon, those staged therapy sessions, good God, who hasn’t been neglected by a parent…and please, Lisa Rinna, right, whatever. Nevertheless, my world comes to a halt at 9pm on Tuesdays and I am mesmerized by Jonathan just “…wanting to do good hair”.
