so the other day (wednesday, the 20th) the TV-show
ELIMIDATE was filmed around the chicago suburban area, with the final segment (or one of the final segments) being filmed at
The Bamboo Room, which is a bar/club in schaumburg that is all of three minutes from my house.
and in honor of this whole filming process, the place was offering NO cover and FREE drnks from 8:30-10:30 pm. so we'd have an opportunity to get VERY drunk for nearly NO MONEY WHATSOEVER. AND get to point and laugh at the elimidate skanks. what's not to love? so we (me, andrea, emboz & julie) RSVP-ed, dressed up in a skanky fashion, and found ourselves "on the list" when we arrived.
we spent the next few hours getting more and more drunk, and stocking up on as many free drinks as humanly possible. people hit the dance floor and the place began to fill up. AND THEN THE CAMERAS SHOWED UP. and following the cameras were a girl and two guys. the girl was...voluptuous, to put it kindly, and the only thing holding her boobs inside her shirt was magic tape or something. she was...THE ELIMIDATER, the the two guys trailing behind her in mostly-unbottoned dress shirts were her final two ELIMIDATEES. so they made their entrance, positioned themselves, and the cameras began rolling...and the elimidater and -datees began dancing. on cue. as skankily as humanly possible.
and behind them, throngs of people elbowed their way to the front of the crowd in hopes of getting on TV.
this went on for about 10 minutes, and the some guy with a notebook waved his arm/notebook in front of one of the camera and yelled, "THAT'S IT." and instantly, the girl and the now-shirtless guys stopped dancing, and followed the cameras off the dance floor. and that was it! hooray elimidate!
and of course, there are 235087408976 pictures of drunken hilarity and so on and so forth.
like these, in which it is clearly evident that we did NOT leave our tits at home that night:
THE REST. OF THE PICTURES.
