Vanilla Icehole
Those of you keeping tabs on "The Surreal Life Fame Game" will certainly share in my disappointment at tonights episode. The show is quickly losing it's dignity and so are some of the "celebrities" that are on it.
Tonights episode was a sad reflection of real life. It showed us that throwing a fit and acting like a jerk will get you your way every time.
Vanilla Ice, well known for trashing interview sets and hotel rooms, threw yet another tantrum on TV this evening. The object of the game was to have as many celebrities call you as possible in an eight hour timeframe. At the end, the celebrities who called would be ranked and points awarded. This is where Ice stomps around like a jackass saying, "I don't want my friends to be ranked. It's disrespectful!"... oh, until the celebrity guest judge decides that HIS celebrities are high on the list! Then he's okay with the ranking?!
The guest judge in question was one Kennedy, formerly of MTV. (I always liked Kennedy, but she really was intimidated by Ice pitching a fit. I think even Robin Leeech was scared!) Not sure how to carry on in the face of Rob Van Winkles childish anger, Kennedy decided it was better to kiss his ass and thus prove that she knew what she was doing and that he could trust her judgement.
Countless celebrities called Ron Jeremy. All of them more famous then Ricky Carmichael (is that his name? Some motocross guy I've never heard of). I think Elvira is more famous then that guy! Yet, Kennedy's ranking system seemed to be based on soothing Rob than on any other criteria.
To top it off, Andrea Lowell cried and thus got one of her celebs ranked the highest! (Sherman Helmsly -IS- famous and definately deserved to be up on the board, but COME ON! At the top?)
Thus, emotional manipulation of Kennedy was what it took to win the game. Although Chyna certainly had more calls by more famous celebrities, she had to lose because she wasn't a bitch.
Just like real life!
