Surreal Life Wrap Up

Well the latest season of The Surreal Life wrapped up this past weekend and I have to say it had some good moments but mostly was a disappointment.

Tawny Kitaen was the Janice Dickinson psycho this season. There really wasn't a overpowering personality like Omarosa this time around and the main drama was Carol Brady being a mom to everyone. Everything was about her and just wasn't about anyone else. She was an attention whore and wasn't shy about anything. But when things got rough she immediately blamed childhood trauma blah blah blah. Yeah she wasn't as psychotic as Janice, Chyna, or Brigette Neilson but she was someone I wouldn't want to meet.

Sherman Hemsley was a peach of a guy. Shy and reserved. Someone you could see yourself hanging out with at a quiet drink.

C.C. DeVille fresh out of rehab, did really well with all of the temptations surrounding him. He onscreen struggles to do everything sober was enlightening. You felt for him as he triumphed and found that he does have a sober future.

Andrea Lowell was the slutty model who loved to be shocking but insisted there is more depth to her than being naked. Really?

Steve Harwell was the almost has been lead singer for Smashmouth. Who? Yeah you remember them. The one hit wonders who did All Star and that was about it.

Alexis Arquette was the firecracker who had the hair trigger temper. He/She was constantly struggling with identity. A man trying to look like a woman but having the temper and somewhat the strength of a man but insisting that he is a she all at the same time. Alexis provided most of the drama along with Tawny.

Yeah....hhhmmmmm.....

Maven the B-list wrestler and all around jobber. He was there but eh, who cared, kind of like his wrestling career.

There have been more entertaining Surreal Lifes, I just couldn't get into this one as much. No one was as over the top this year. There was some self centeredness but not as much. Andrea was hot but not as hot as previous models. There were no midgets which was disappointing except for one brief Bridget the Midget segment.

This season was probably one of the weakest efforts.

Now I believe that I am going to call John and Chris to take a look at a T-Hanger at the local airport to set up our green screen studio!

Each one offers a huge area, an electrical outlet and a light. All for the bargain price of $139.90 per month. Once I get After Effects 7.0 down and play with it to build my confidence I believe that we will be able to attract musicians for music videos, other indies who want some special effects, and be able to accomplish all of our own goals!

These are exciting times my friends!!!!
