REALITY TV CIRCUS

If anyone actually thought that Risky would win Charm School 3 against Ashley, a stripper, and Marcia, a self-professed alcoholic, I would have found them to be an idiot.

But after hearing Risky give a passionate speech about how her childhood was not too great and was riddled by allegations of child molestation, you had to think that she had the best chance of anyone to win the $100,000.

In the end, Risky’s explanation was simply too much and far overmatched either Ashley’s or Marcia’s. I think all three girls were changing before us, but Risky’s speech just did more for Ricki Lake than the other two girls, not to take anything away from either Ashley or Marcia.

Out of all the Charm School shows to date, I found this one to be the most realistic and saw the most change coming out of these girls. All were admittedly skeptical of changing their lives, and all did so with the support of their families.

So all ended well, in my view, and the right person won, even though the three finalists all won in some way, shape or form. Marcia is fighting a deadly addiction, Ashley fought her own demons and is winning and so did Risky. And Ricki Lake made for the best and most competent host the show has ever seen.

The one-time douchebag London actually came off like a good guy in the last few episodes, and his charm won over Daisy De La Hoya in the show’s finale on Maui.

You had to have a feeling this is the way things would work out, anyway, because all it took for London to be accepted back in the house was to email the show emcee Riki and voila, he’s back in!

Some interesting things happened, however, once London, Flex, and 12 Pack got to Maui. Daisy wasted no time whittling the three down to two, giving each person one outing and a dinner to explain why they belonged in the house.

Then she had an elimination ceremony at the Maui airport, where she said goodbye to 12 Pack, because 12 wouldn’t open up to Daisy. She basically left the dude on the tarmac. Wow, you don’t wanna mess with that girl, huh?

Anyway, that left us with London and Flex, and you could tell from the kiss Daisy gave London that she didn’t care if the wannabe rockstar didn’t have a job at age 30; she just wanted to have his baby.

At the final elimination ceremony, Daisy wasted zero time telling Flex that London was the guy for her, and London won the show, and Daisy’s heart. Aw….

The thing about this show is that London genuinely seems to care about Daisy. He even said he wouldn’t do what all of the other reality shows do, and that’s break up before the reunion show.

Hopefully, he’s right, and we’ll see if this supposed union between London and Daisy lasts. After you got past the mohawk and the drunken escapades, it did seem that London was a nice guy despite being unemployed.

Definitely the least attractive reality TV show cast to hit the airwaves since Beauty and the Geek, VH1’s highly touted new reality show Megan Wants A Millionaire is ready to go, starting on Sunday, August 2.

Of course, anyone who knows Megan Hauserman from Rock Of Love knows she’s a total gold-digger, so what better way to have her showcase her skills than on a show like this?

Frankly, some of these dudes still look like geeks, even though they’re 40. But it’s hard to argue with somebody who reportedly makes millions. One thing’s for sure: Megan will know who’s really loaded and who’s just lying.

In this show, it’s up to Megan to weed out those who are pretending and don’t have what it takes to keep her happy.

Finally, is Megan looking for love? No. You’d have to be some kind of idiot to think that, after you have a look at the guys competing for her heart, and her aiming for their, uh, wallet.

The names of the contestants, uh, suckers, are mostly forgettable. Garth, Al, Francisco. There are a few, however, that stand out, like Punisher and my favorite, Sex Toy Dave.

Here they are below. One of these things is not like the other. Can you guess which one may be a stripper?

The Charm School 3 ladies have had a long road to get to where they are now, which is two weeks from the season finale.

And the Brazilian Marcia has managed to stay off the sauce. Yay! In the last episode, the four remaining ladies went to the Big Easy to help rebuild a city that was devastated by Hurricane Katrina several years ago.

Yes, folks, they are still rebuilding New Orleans after all these years, so do not believe for a second that it’s all good in the N.O.

Anyway, the girls were able to party it up on Bourbon Street the first night they arrived, only to be whisked away from their beds at the crack of dawn to help.

Ashley, as usual, was hung over but she managed to to her part and so she stayed to fight for the $100,000 prize another day.

Brittanya, meanwhile, hit the end of her journey, calling herself a G in her exit interview. Nothing says class like referring to oneself as a G, right? Heh.

So it’s Ashley, Marcia and Risky in the finale. I’m gonna have to go with Marcia, who actually seems like she’s come the farthest out of the three. Ashley’s just there for the money. Risky is my longshot pick.

The Daisy of Love finale is all set (finally!!) after Daisy did some stupid stuff for a few weeks and brought back that punk douchebag London to the show.

But she finally did manage to get that idiot Sinister out of the house after the wee little one threw another temper tantrum, busting up a guitar and crying about everything.

After that everyone’s exes were invited–except for London, who just had a friend visit–and so Daisy got the lowdown on their pasts.

That’s when Daisy found out Sinister hit his ex and that was enough for Daisy to kick his ass out. So now there are three: 12 Pack, Flex and London.

The finale is in two weeks, on July 26. I think it’s 12 Pack’s all the way, but London might surprise everyone and win it.
