I love crappy reality television. Yes, I admitted it, and I know you all do too, and with this writers strike going on, what else is there for us TV lovers to do!  It’s pretty much America’s guilty pleasure; kicking back and watching other people make asses of themselves. Speaking of asses, who would have thought that Academy Award winning actor, Jamie Foxx would stoop so low as to host the second season of Charm School—career suicide. Monique dabbled in this experiment last season and we all saw what that did for her career, -cricket, cricket-…But I’ll be the first to admit that my TV will be tuned into VH1 that night. God speed Mr. Foxx…

However, there is something we all can start screaming about…The new season of ANTM!! Yes, cycle 10 is back and with a vengeance. Set in New York City this time around, Tyra seems to have not lost her touch one bit! After seeing the trailer I had to jump online right away to see the girls she picked, and I was glad to see Marvita. Most of you probably don’t remember her but she’s the short-haired girl from Cali we all wished had made it to the house. She betta work!

Don’t forget Making The Band 4 premiers this week, and although we are all pissed that it doesn’t just feature the guys (will they ever get a name?), it’s still going to be on our Monday night lineup. Maybe this time around one of the groups will actually have a lasting career beyond the show…if not, better for us, a new season!!
