Something Somehwere

The show got 'la bota' or the boot for anyone that didn't get that. Four episodes and this show that offends me as a woman is over. Tonight they played an encore Nanny show and the ABC website says there is no date scheduled for the next episode. Oh yeah, and it stops talking about the show after the fourth episode. Doh! I happen to know for certain that this show wasn't supposed to air for another year, so obviously they pushed up this show in the lineup for a reason. Maybe the network realized they had a dog on their hands and decided to air it during the summer which has the lowest viewership. Oh well. I have nothing else to snicker at anymore on Mondays.

Love u Rain....my eyes are burning...but You are a must read. I actually saw the (t)3rd.. episode of "How to Gag The Guy"....between Jesse James ..(Sandra Bullocks' husband) attempting to put together a whaaaa..fancy jeep..fancy rims ..ooooo..in Iraq????? YUP..frankly Jesse's disappointment & confession (the crappy idea didn't work) was about the most entertaining bit of tv the whole nite. I admit you filled me in on all the horrific details (stomach churn) & finally the LOCATIONS, but this is the most shameful bit of gag tv our poor city has ever endured. Why these poor misbeguided women ever allowed themselves to be portrayed this way at their age is beyond me.....15 MINS OF FAME IS UP LADIES!!... URL all too old to believe this is "REAL WORLD" SFO. Not one of you is identifiable by name. My kid lives in NYC (she's 27), me SFO (60) & we saw the show w/out knowing the other did...neither one of us could remember their names..it was.."the stupid one".. etc, I won't repeat the rest of the disparaging remarks. The HA, HA, HOSTS???? Puuuleeeze..where did they find these idiots??? I could give better advice..don't get me started on the smelling of the shirts in this last episuck. keep up the good work ur devoted fan, ML

I agree this show is boring, and the women, as presented in canned-TV format, are uninteresting and shallow--and I am aquainted with one of them! Props to Rain for even being able to watch one show all the way through and remember what actually happened--I think I lasted 20 minutes in this eposode, the first one I've seen. But as long as SFist is going to be covering this dull tripe, and snark on it, maybe you can leave behind the tired, sexist presumption that any woman who dates more than one man at a time is a disease-ridden whore. There are so many other things in this show to pick on.

I actually watched a few minutes of this thing based on these reportrs but I found it to be easily one of the most boring shows like this yet. The women contestants were rather plain and boring, and I had trouble telling them apart because they all seemed the same. the previous commentor's idea about sending them to some more interesting locations might help. But they also could have found more interesting people. These folks are nice, but so inoffensive that I switched the channel to Something Else.

Guys, are you getting paid by the ABC to keep "plugging" this unbelievably crap show? Can you write about a worthwhile show to watch? At the very least thanks for the warning that this load of ____ is on tonight. I think I'll read an inproving book tonight...

Bambuddha? Bubble? Millenium? Yeesh - how many high gloss, corporate wankeries can one fit in a reality dating show? Gack. I guess that's what Middle America expects. I'd really like to see them shot a dating "scene" with Party Girl in a hole in the wall taco joint in the Mission. Or the Girl Next Door at Zeitgeist or Doc's Clock. Or Career Girl at a show at Slim's or maybe to the Power Exchange...

For what it's worth, the women on the show may be a lot of things, but I would not accuse any of them of being "stick figures." In fact, the relative "normalness" of the women on the show, compared to the skinny, big-boobed blondes that tend to populate a majority of TV reality dating shows, is actually kind of refreshing. You've just made me defend these women. I hate you.

As shown by the girl in the top right-hand picture shown above, serious self-image problems are alive and well within the female community. I am only going to say this once, so pay close attention: GUYS DON'T LIKE STICK FIGURES!!!!!!!!!! Guys like women with natural, firm, large breasts, a flat, hard stomach, and a heart-shaped butt. Anorexic girls everywhere (Naomi Watts, I am looking in your direction) should read this post because it will save them thousands of dollars worth of therapy. To get an idea of what absolutely ALL women should look like, get a load of this: http://www.lucypinder.info/html/lucy_pinder_gallery_12_-_p4.html [This is SFist writing now; FYI, link is NSFW.
