no, I'm totally NOT stalking him. The banner ad keeps popping up! I only have so much willpower...

Here's the blurb from the website

'Sometimes good girls make bad choices. For these 11 women, their bad attitudes, hard-partying ways, and troublemaking pasts have delayed their dreams of success. Now these talented singers are competing to overcome their personal demons, win a recording deal with Fuse/Geffen Records, and achieve music stardom on "Redemption Song." '

If only I had known! I could have gone out and gotten addicted to something!

But can you sing? ;D

[Fire-Babe]

I can sing in the shower and in the car. I get nervous when people are listening, but I'm working on that.

I appear to be lacking two OTHER things that the women in the show possess, however.....

(Yes, I did waste time today watching the first episode.)

What the hell is fuse?

[Byrntrigan]

Fuse is what MuchMusic turned into when bought by some american jerk.

I liked MuchMusic...

Okay, I watched the entire first episode on the web. I think I said I wouldn't......but I'm pretty sure no one believed THAT.

Jericho is very cheesy as the host, but he doesn't really make that many appearances with the contestants. Who are all skanky in one way or another, and not just because when they're on, they say "Chriii-iiiiiis" in that way that irritates me WAAAAAAY more than it should. When they're first arriving at the mansion they're all staying in, he's really fake cheesy... but then later on, he's less, so maybe it was just ''opening scene jitters" or something.

He is not staying at the mansion with them, I don't think.

When they get there, they each get a vinyl LP in a cardboard case with their name and picture on it (I described it because I know some of you have never seen such a relic). That is effectively, their "torch." The first episode's loser had to stand there in front of everyone, and have Jericho break her album in half in front of her, after telling her exactly why and how she had screwed up. (She got trashed right before their first elimination challenge.) Snap the album in half and your done.

So, it's probably good I didn't even attempt. On the off chance I HAD gotten on? That would most likely have destroyed me

[Fire-Babe]

Yeah, so I know no one cares about this...

Last week's episode opened with Jericho (in tank top, shorts, and a whistle!!) taking the women of the house on a 2 mile jog, which was amusing

They got ready to kick another woman out, but then one OTHER woman who had been sobbing for the entire episode about missing her kids stepped forward and broke her own record in front of Jericho so she could go home. dramadramadramadrama.

Two of the women are going to come to blows...and not in a good way.

[Byrntrigan]

But they are at least not coming to blow...

Pudum pum...
