REALITY TV CIRCUS

You voted and here are the results from the 1st Annual Reality TV Circus Awards.  

And the winners are…

Reality TV Circus Villain…Khalood Bojanowski of “Momma’s Boys.” Could there be any doubt? Come on, already! A racist…in this day and age…thinks it’s okay to say those kinds of things! Appalling!! I stopped watching the show because of her.

Reality TV Circus Comeback Story For The Ages…Brandi M. from “Rock Of Love Charm School.” When you think about how far down the gutter this girl went, into hardcore porn, and then to come back and become a “lady” (sort of) then you really have taken the trip from hell to heaven full-circle.

Reality TV Circus Whore…Pumkin from “Flavor Of Love Charm School.” To be kicked out of a so-called “Charm School,” where at least half of the women were, uh, promiscuous, you would have to be pretty slutty to win this title over say, Angelique, who does that kind of thing for a living.

Reality TV Circus Idiot …Bubbles from “Real Chance Of Love.” Okay, first of all, Bubbles is the Forrest Gump of reality TV. And even though Brian Kehoe is a complete moron, even he would have trouble staying up with Bubbles. Actually, if they bedded one another he would probably choke her in no time flat.

Reality TV Circus Hottie…Milf from “Real Chance Of Love.” I know what my stats say, people, and the NUMBER ONE MOST SEARCHED ITEM IS…(Da-da!) Milf from “Real Chance of Love.” Yes, I know there are people out there who are sick, but this is ridiculous. But you can’t argue with statistics.

Reality TV Circus Beefcake…Punk from “I Love New York 2.” This was a close race, and 12 Pack damned near won it, but in the end Punk’s brains and brawn were too much for the voters. That, and flipping the table over on Chance. That was just funny. The fact he’s been dating Jennifer Hudson probably didn’t hurt his cause, either.

Reality TV Circus Genius…The Entertainer from “I Love Money.” Who else would you vote for? The dude lives in his parent’s house, can’t play a guitar, yet conned millions of people to vote for him and believe he’s a star? What, are you kiddin’ me? Come on! (In thick NY accent)

Reality TV Circus Humanitarian…Real from “I Love Money & Real Chance Of Love.” He’s a nice guy, he’s funny and charming and he nearly won “I Love Money” over some pretty stiff competition. But in the end, he followed his heart, forgot about the money and went with his heart, which ultimately cost him a shot at the money.

Reality TV Circus Top Salesperson…Heather from various VH1 shows. The fact most people know her by her first name is a testament to her popularity. I’ve given it some thought and think it’s because she looks like every other person in your neighborhood. She may be annoying, but she’s in the back of your mind right now.

Reality TV Circus Best Actor goes to…Lacey from various VH1 shows. She is conniving, a Gemini, a redhead to boot and she is as mean as advertised. But she is also intelligent, a caring person and the side you see on TV is the side she chooses to show you. As you saw on Charm School she can show her other side…if she wants to.

Well, that’s all for the 2008 Reality TV Circus Awards. See you next year and thanks for voting!

The E! message boards are blowing up at the moment because it looks like Hef has added another girl (middle in above photo) to his stable. Meet Crystal Harris, everyone! Harris is a 22-year-old psychology major who is attending college at San Diego State, also home of the Chargers and Kendra.

Speaking of Kendra, since she’s supposedly engaged to Philadelphia Eagles WR Hank Baskett, does this mean she’s begin replaced by Crystal? I think so. Either it’s her, or it’s Holly Madison she’s replacing.

Anyhoo, that makes three new girls to be added to Hef’s party (um, and something else that starts with the letter P) posse, including the Shannon twins (whom we’ve covered in great detail) and now Harris. Harris got permission, reportedly, from Hef himself to break the news, and so she did so on the E! message boards earlier this week.

The funny thing about Harris is that she has not been a Playmate, following in the footsteps of Bridget, Holly and Kendra. However, Harris has been on Playboy.com as a “Co-Ed Of The Week.” Prrrr…LOL

Anyway, Harris says she likes puppies (who doesn’t?), Walt Disney World (fair enough!) and well, probably herself, but that’s just from my estimation having viewed her MySpace and seeing the amount of pictures she has on there.

What this tells me is that The Girls Next Door will be awfully interesting once the three officially move in to the Playboy mansion (The Shannon Twins are basically already moved in; it’s just not been announced.). The other question I have is, what happens to Holly, Bridget and Kendra? Does Bridget become the No. 1 in the house now that Holly is supposedly gone? Inquiring minds wanna know.

Welcome to the first annual Reality TV Circus Awards! It’s a battle for the ages! First we gave you our picks for best shows of 2008, now we’re taking it a step further and giving you our picks for best individual performance!

What do you get when you throw nine party planners (photo above) into the fire by sending them down to Cabo San Lucas, Mexico and telling them it’s a competition? You get Party Monsters: Cabo on E!, which is the equivalent of telling a caterer he’s throwing a party for Donald Trump. Or a marketing whiz. Or anyone, really.

You never know; with the list of clientele the nine-person (well, smaller by the week) crew has, whether it’s Diddy, Brody Jenner, Carmen Electra and 50 Cent, it’s a challenge-of-a-lifetime to make the guests (and their entourages) happy.

This week the party planners got to make Carmen Electra (photo above) and her entourage happy, which is no easy task considering partying is really what Electra does for a living. Week after week the planners’ skills are put to the test and their patience runs thin. This week it was Tyler’s turn to go home.

What’s more is the party planners have to make the distinguished guests feel like they’ve never been to a party like this before, which is obviously difficult since most of the hosts do this kind of thing all the time! Experts judge their parties every week, and one by one, the weak ones are picked apart and sent home.

It all takes place in the LG Villa in Cabo, a really beautiful place down by the sea where the party planners are urged to show some creativity in their work. Each person is required to plan a party each week and the best party plan is then chosen for inclusion.

It takes a lot of teamwork to pull one off and any missteps could lead to elimination!

When it came to the best reality TV shows of 2008, more was definitely more! All the shows we selected had something that was infinitely better than the other competitors, whether it was better acting, more drama or just plain likeability. The top show of 2008 will surprise some, but not all, for it had everything a reality TV show could want…and then some.

So counting down from No. 5 to No. 1 we’ll outline all of our picks for Best of 2008. First we’re gonna name five more shows that get an “Honorable Mention” and a brief word.

Honorable Mention

10. Snoop Dogg’s Fatherhood - Who knew David Beckham would be playing soccer with Snoop? Or that Snoop and his family lived somewhere other than Hollywood? Well, folks, they do and they’re OK with it. It had the tendency to be a bit like The Osbournes, which is still the standard to which everything is judged in reality TV. But some of it sounded made up, too.

9. The Girls Next Door - Even though everyone wants to see what is really going on at the Playboy Mansion, the truth is you really don’t get to see what goes on. For one, two-thirds of the “Girls” are college grads, which means they probably know something about keeping a public image. And you can bet Hef does, else he wouldn’t have been as successful as he has been. On the believeable scale, it’s a 5.

8. Bromance with Brody Jenner - It just started this past week, which barely qualifies it for inclusion in this year’s list. It may have a chance to win it all next year; that’s how good this show is. I don’t know what it is that makes this show great, but it’s a cross between Old School, Animal House and The Hills with some really goofy contestants/frat boys that make it all worthwhile. And the Brodester is known for causing his own brand of trouble, so you know it’s only gonna get better than watching eight guys sweat it out in a hottub at the elimination ceremony.

7. Operacion Repo - This little-known TruTV staple should be on one of the bigger networks, but it’s not. Always one of our go-to shows for the week (but not yet shown on RTV Circus, my bad!) it stars a repossession company out of the San Fernando Valley, their often-hilarious attempts to repossess anything with an engine and the hired muscle named Matt Burch (top photo). In my opinion, Matt is the show. The other co-stars/repo geniuses are great, too, especially Froylan Tercero, but they aren’t Matt, the dude who always wears the 80’s Levi shorts with his ‘roid-infused physique.

6. Rock of Love Charm School - The only reason “Charm School” didn’t get higher marks is because it had to go up against I Love Money and Rock Of Love 2 on VH1. From the insane spitting incident involving Brandi C., a wad of whatever and the horror on Destiney’s face after she was spat upon (priceless) to the ridiculous stunt Lacey pulled (acting normal) to try to win the $100,000 the show was a hit, even after the show technically ended. You see, Sharon nearly pulled Megan’s hair out at the reunion show when Megan called her a hanger-on because she’s married to Ozzy.

The Best of the Best

5. Keeping Up With The Kardashians - You may think Kim steals the show with her one prized asset (that would be her ass) but you would be wrong in your assumption. The reason the show is such a hit is because ALL of the Kardashians are entertaining! Sarcastic as the day is long, the sisters (bottom photo) are always up to no good, whether they’re running the family business (a boutique) or jetting to Vegas for a quickie marriage foiled at the last minute or putting up calendars of Kim’s naughty bits on accident (Heh).

4. Janice Dickinson Modeling Agency - They may not hold eliminations, per se, but Janice does run a tight ship and you’d better not show an inch of cellulite! Janice is like that annoying, micro-managing boss that is always in everyone’s business, whether she’s arranging dates for her son (and co-boss) Nathan, or she’s giving the finger to some underwear line from Australia (actually happened) or fighting off the temptation to kill one of her underlings (Brian Kehoe) who is annoying her to the point of distraction. Or we could talk about the fact she’s at every shoot her models do and often was included (40 or not!) in that shoot. She is one-of-a-kind and sadly there will never be another like her. (Sorry Tyra!)

3. Rock Of Love 2 - What has more testosterone, silicone and methylethylthiazolinone than any other show? That’s right, tettones! There is more fake to ROL 2 than any show on God’s green earth and the reason is simple. That’s the way the show’s producers and Michaels want it. That said, there really isn’t any other show I can remember that stays true to its format and never strays from the usual Mud Bowl/Tour Bus/Fake Boobs/Strip Tease persona. It loves being raunchy, racy and sexy. And that’s why it’s bound to stay another several years. It’s like all those bad heavy metal ballads from the 80’s. There really isn’t anything to them (except for sexual overtones), but they sound good and they look great!

2. Real Chance Of Love - I was not excited when I first heard Real and Chance were gonna have their own show. But you know what? Out of all the reality TV shows on the air, it’s actually the most realistic! That surprised me, since Chance came across as the most fakeass person on I Love New York since New York. Real always had a heart of gold and so I knew he would be more sincere in his search for Miss Right. But Real and Chance have fought over the same girls at times, acted like brothers do and basically created enough drama that several ladies may even get their own shows. Milf was a hit, as was So Hood and who can forget Bubbles? Then there’s Rabbit…and Stalker…and the list goes on and on…

1. I Love Money - Never in the history of reality TV has there been a show as conniving, entertaining and mysterious as I Love Money. The premise was this: take 20 former reality TV stars in a boat to an island in Mexico, drop them off at a mansion, give them a host to keep order (or try to) and offer money to the winner at the end of the show! Who can beat that? When you add people like Real, Chance, The Entertainer (who is back for season 2, BTW), Destiney, Megan and the self=-proclaimed Godfather, White Boy you know you have a show. I’m so excited for season 2! It was must-see TV every week and that show will spawn many other shows, for starters Real and Chance’s and Megan’s shows.

With the news that Criss Angel just bought Hef’s former No. 1 Holly Madison a ring and were spotted this week cavorting around town together, it stops and makes you wonder why Hef’s Christmas Card this year has him and the Shannon twins (above photo) on it. Or maybe it doesn’t.

What that tells me is the Hef and Holly are officially over and that it will only be a matter of time before Holly is asked to leave the Playboy Mansion for good. Her time, based on this card, may in fact be coming to an end within months, if not weeks.

It hasn’t always been this way for the Alaska native. Even though she faced stiff competition to become the number one woman in Hef’s life (Other Playmates reportedly said she studied Hef before making her move) she persevered in a way no other Alaskan woman has in politics since Sarah Palin. LOL

But the Shannon Twins, who will also reportedly be named Playmates in the coming months, have stepped to the forefront of the discussion about who Holly’s replacement will be. I’m not convinced they are, anyway, since Hef has also been spotted with another model, Crystal (below photo in middle), who looks older than the 22 years she states on her MySpace profile. And Hef seems to like Crystal lots too and the two might be a better fit!

So in Playboy Land, everything is up in the air right now, including the future of the Playboy empire Hef has worked so hard to build. Hef Isn’t getting any younger either, at the age of 82. The other thing is, it’s awfully strange to see Hef out with twins. I’ll bet the twins love sitting in his bed watching old movies, when they aren’t cheating on him behind his back in the Grotto. LOL

On the 12^th day of Christmas my true love gave to me…A subscription to cable TV! Just think…if you didn’t have access to cable TV, whether it was Time Warner or Comcast or whatever your regional carrier is, you wouldn’t be able to enjoy all the programming on VH1, MTV, E!, Oxygen and even TruTV! I wouldn’t have been able to see Megan’s dog Lili!! (pictured above.) I’m sure I’m forgetting somebody, but without that access, I’d be stuck watching Survivor or The Amazing Race. Of course we all know VH1 reality TV is eons better than anything on CBS…it’s our little secret. LOL

On the 11^th day of Christmas my true love gave to me…A remote for my cable TV! Without the remote you wouldn’t have an opportunity to watch cable TV from your couch or recliner, unless you had a really long stick with which to move the buttons up and down on your TV set. If you’re really fortunate your cable provider will supply you with one. Otherwise, it’s off to Target or Wal-Mart or Vann’s.

On the 10^th day of Christmas my true love gave to me…A million visitors to Reality TV Circus! I know that’s asking a lot since I just started this blog, but I’m thinking big here, okay? Imagine the amount of money I’d make if I could somehow pull in that many visitors. The other thing is I’m well aware my wife won’t be able to help me attract that many visitors. That is up to me. But hey, if you know some people who would like to contribute to my dream, all the better for me and Reality TV Circus!

On the ninth day of Christmas my true love gave to me…a vaccine capable of fighting off my allergies to cats! Of course this is something Heather could have used on Rock Of Love Charm School, since she was always fighting allergic reactions to animals. And even though Brandi M. faked being allergic Sharon didn’t hold it against her and she still won Charm School.

On the eighth day of Christmas my true love gave to me…eight maids a-cleaning. These stars are so busy plotting evil they hardly have time to tidy up their own roomks. After watching how trashed some of these mansions become after just a few days of living it up and drinking until you can’t stand up, I think it’s obvious that many of them need a few maids. The less clothing the better.

On the seventh day of Christmas my true love gave to me…the entire DVD set of Flavor Of Love! By far the best reality TV show ever produced, the hip-hop pioneer and wannabe black Casanova set the bar high for all of the other pretenders, employing whacked-out costumes as well as unique individuals and creating a brand that has literally stood the test of time. They will be talking about Flavor Of Love in 50 years as the catalyst to an entirely new genre of reality TV. It has spawned other shows and created other stars, such as New York.

On the sixth day of Christmas my true love gave to me…six dudes a-laying. It goes without saying that without sex in the equation, reality TV nowadays would be about as enjoyable as a game show without Vanna White. Think about what I’m saying here; everyone knows the shows the get the best ratings are the ones in which a lady (usually a former or current dancer of some sort) is giving a guy a lap dance.

On the fifth day of Christmas my true love gave to me…five golden bling! Flav started it all, but you even see the ladies sporting that bling! Kendra from Girls Next Door is always flashing something shiny and a few ladies have been known to show off their flashy jewelry. Now Real and Chance have taken blingin’ to a whole new level, macking out their rides as well as themselves.

On the fourth day of Christmas my true love gave to me…four bleeped words! During one segment of Real Chance of Love and in a five-minute span I counted 44 words bleeped out by editors. Thank God for editing, else some of these shows might carry an NC-17 rating!

On the third day of Christmas my true love gave to me…three French kisses! Of course that’s nothing compared to some of these shows. The amount of Frenching New York has done with some of her male suitors is downright ridiculous! The mmm’s and ahhhh’s are also way overdone.

On the second day of Christmas my true love gave to me…two spitting lungs. From the depths of whatever came two shots heard around the water cooler. I’m talking about Pumkin showering New York with a surprising bath and then Brandi C. letting loose of some gummy substance sticking to Destiney’s face! Ewwww…nasty, but definitely something that gets the ratings.

On the first day of Christmas my true love gave to me…a bit part on reality TV. Obviously we hold these reality TV stars in the highest regard; otherwise we wouldn’t talk about them so often. In what is the most entertaining aspect of this highly-evolving business, it’s just like Forrest Gump once said…you never know what you’re gonna get. And that’s what’s so great about reality TV. That and the conniving, backstabbing, heart-shattering nature of the whole thing. It’s like being on a roller-coaster without ever stopping. So enjoy the thrill ride and Happy Holidays from Reality TV Circus!

The Shannon Twins, who have reportedly helped nudge Holly out of her cozy spot next to Hef as HBIC in the Playboy Mansion, are now making the rounds in the gossip pages and on message boards.

The message is simple: The twins may be too trashy for even the Playboy Mansion and its guests! You would have to be pretty sleazy to not live up to standards at the mansion. Perhaps the twins should have tried Larry Flynt’s house. LOL

Anyway, several news agencies reported that back in October the twins were reprimanded by Hef himself during the annual Halloween bash. But since the twins’ arrival the stock in Playboy has reportedly “doubled,” according to a source on the E! Online message board via CNBC. So all seems well in the mansion, right?

 Uh, nope. MySpace pages from several Playmates who know the twins have actually contained messages also reprimanding the twins and one even went so far as to issue a bulletin! Another, Ashlee Ricci, was reportedly asked to participate in the next season and declined the offer, setting off a firestorm of gossip and even a public “lashing” from the twins themselves. Doesn’t sound too cozy to me!

The other interesting note is that Christie Hefner, Hugh’s daughter, recently resigned her position in Playboy as CEO, effective late January and may be interested in a political career. Hmmmm…Is the Playboy empire undergoing some major changes?

As you can plainly see from the above video, in which Hef discusses his breakup with Holly, things are not what they seem in Holmby Hills.

Tonight’s season finale marks an end then to the three girls we’ve come to know…and one Playmate has even hinted that there may be as many as seven (!!!) girls in the mansion next season. So…as they’ll say in tonight’s “Softball match,” let’s play ball!

The games will really begin this year when they start filming for the next season, alright.
