WOT: the simple life

I had the chance to watch the Simple Life yesterday, and let me tell you, it was a laugh out loud riot. Sadly, that was my reaction. As much as I wanted to hate the show and its dizzy stars, their crazy and inconsiderate actions made me laugh.

I'm really glad that the mother [Laurette. BTW, I love all of their accents] who lived in a "swap" [Louisiana] had Paris and Nicole supervise her daughter's first date--her 13-year-old daughter. I guess the mother didn't hear about Paris and Rick Solomon's little play for the camera(s?). Or that those two ladies are Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie, and they live in a far away land called LA. And that people who come from far way places that you don't know about shouldn't be trusted. Unless, of course, producers from Hollywood & the show tell you it's ok.

I also adore how Nicole and/or Paris has to ask every guy they meed how old the guys are. And if the guy is in the right age bracket, then he gets a nod of approval (and maybe much, much more later on).

Days of Our Lives. So the story continues. No one who died during the Salem Serial Killer's attack is dead. They are all stuck on an island somewhere being controlled by unknown forces. Yippee. And poor Sean is still stuck in a giant bird cage, crying helplessly for anyone to help him escape psycho Jan.

And I still can't believe they are letting Kyle, from Real World Chicago, play Philip. What happened to his aspiring political career? Or that's what I thought he wanted to do (Kyle forbid that girl that he got involve with to never talk about that again during a shouting match.) He even insulted Passions by retorting, "It's just Passions" when they offered him an acting job. Then five minutes later he shows up on Days. Great.

Hooray for the return of Chole. You go girl. Don't let that gold-digger Nicole get your man (well, in real life, it's actually Nicole's man. Brady and Nicole are actually married--in real life. I had no idea until I saw them together on one of those entertainment shows).

Passions. In the town of Harmony, once again, we have casting changes. Wow. The show sure goes through them like...something...[insert comparisons here]. How many Kays and Simones are we going to have?

I'm glad that Eve's past secrets are finally out. Finally, a storyline progresses, but I'm disappointed that it happened when I wasn't around to see it come to fruition.

And Antonio died. Thank God. Thank you for ending an incredibly dimwitted character. Now, finally, Sheridan and Luis can be together. Wait. This is Passions. Well, at least, for now, Sheridan and her stud-muffin can share a moment of peace and happiness.

CSI: Miami. I think Horatio is too self-righteous. Annoyingly so. I have never really liked Miami as much as the original. Plus, there's really no female lead like Catherine, whom (who?) I love and adore (her hair is also amazing).

I missed the Mommy Swap. I'm really intrigued by it. Will have to catch it next time.
