After 51 minutes of 60 Minutes it was FINALLY time for the Amazing Race. After last weeks naked run through Russia who knew what was gonna happen as Jodie/Christie were set to face the seasons first Speed Bump. For their next location the teams headed off to India where promos promised emotion and life changing experiences. Being that they arrived first, Margie and Luke were first to learn about heading to India. Their location is known as the “Pink City” since it was painted pink for royals in the past. Luke wasn’t too happy to be heading off to India while Victor/Tammy were happy for warm weather. As teams headed to the airport we learned they had to first connect through Moscow. That means everyone would equalize there and most likely arrive in India around the same time. Jodie and Christie must be happy about that as their speed bump, plus being behind, would have meant sure doom.
After skipping all the airport drama, teams arrived in Jaipur, India. It was then time for taxis which seemed an issue for all. Mel and Mike wanted out of their taxi, but their driver ran off with their bags in the trunk to find directions. That put them in last place but their taxi promised to speed at least. Jodie/Christie were having issues as well as their taxi needed gas, forcing one of the two to ask for a “hurry” button. Gotta love the culture Staples has brought to America. Over in Luke/Margie’s car it was time for some more culture shock as they remarked about the smell. Others noticed the deplorable conditions as one of the reds cried about the poor animals and Luke broke into tears as well. It was a great edit for showing issues in India and I’m sure it will go down as a potential Emmy nominated clip.
CBS hasn’t much luck getting past their three Reality staples. Survivor, Big Brother and The Amazing Race seem to be the only reality shows that CBS can actually depend on. The eye has tried out several shows over the years, all ending after one or two seasons, or in some cases one episode. Rock Star is the only reality type show that CBS held for two seasons, other then the three, and dropped off after ratings fell. Then there was America’s Greatest Dog and Kid Nation. Both were great shows but didn’t perform well thanks to time slots and overall promotion. The last two didn’t even get a full season on air: Pirate Master and Celebrity Hidden Talents. Pirate Master was a mixture of Survivor and Big Brother, themed to pirates. It was an amazing how to watch but sadly the ratings did not agree. Celebrity Hidden Talents only latest one episode, thank god, as it’s format was awful.
So after gaining a new Reality Programming Director, CBS is ready to pump out some new reality blood. But with all their failures will Game Show In My Head actually become a hit? It seems like CBS is trying change their style as the show has more of a FOX feel. Hosted by Fear Factor alum Joe Rogan, Game Show In My Head has contestants punking themselves on the street. They are all wearing an ear piece and must perform stunts, courtesy of Joe back in a studio. Each task they are able to perform gains money for their pot, but by missing only one task they will go home empty handed. Produced by Ashton Kutcher its obvious to see the Punk’d connection. The show is set to premiere on Saturday January 3rd at 8pm. Airing on Saturday’s probably is a death sentence for ratings but hopefully CBS can finally pull out a winner in Game Show In My Head.

So what do yo guys think of Gameshow In My Head? Think it will go over well? Leave a comment and let me know!
I Love Money may not be the most sophisticated of reality shows but oh will it be insane! With the craziest all stars from your favorite VH1 reality shows it’s sure to be good as they take on competitions similar to the MTV challenge shows. It seems like all the reality staples are here for it to be an amazing show and hopefully it doesn’t disappoint! With Pumkin, Heather and Midget Mac you can’t go wrong!
It seems their first challenge wasn’t even a challenge as half of them couldn’t even get off the boat without even getting wet. Midget Mac has a flashback moment as he has to get in the water, once again, and we all know what happened last time he did that. 12 Pack came to his rescue though and picked him off the boat, giving him a reprieve from drowning this time.
Next up they all met their host, CJ and tells them they are playing for $250,000. Everyone then ran into the house and sprinted for their beds. It seems Nibblz and Toastee have some beef while Toastee has an ally with Pumpkin. Another alliance is 12 Pack and Heat, who have the “party boyz” alliance. Heather and Destiney became friends in Rock of Love 2 and are a perfect alliance in my eyes. The two groups then combined and formed the 12 Pack/Heat/Destiney/Heather alliance, I think I’ll barf now. Whiteboy then tells us that he and Chance/Real grouped together as well.
One thing was then realized as there are 17 people in the game while only 16 beds. Boston was the one without a bed and wanted to share with Toastee, who seemed to just laugh it off. He went to a few others who basically ran away from his offer as well. When CJ returned to the house everyone was given a check for $250,000. We all know they won’t all get it but at least its fun to see them skwirm. They are using the checks to eliminate the players similar to clocks and chains in other VH1 shows.
While they were doing the checks drama began already. Meagan told Pumpkin she had “saggy boobs” after she said she would buy new boobs. They yelling began since Pumpkin wanted people to know she was “ghetto”. Heather on the other hand wanted to remove something, her Brett Michael’s tattoo. Others wanted to help their family, which was nice. But I highly doubt ANY of these people will give money to their family.
It was then game time as the players had to be divided into teams. The news was then revealed that someone would be leaving that night, duh. Bikini’s were then given to everyone to wear… both guys and girls. It was a bit disgusting but what else would you want from VH1? Midget Mac was the only one to not put on the suit which angered Hoopz a bit. He called a word I can’t mention here but it sure did cause a ruckus as he continued to go off on all the girls.
The first challenge then took place to find the two team captains. The two people who could catch the most money in the Money Booth would became the team captains, choose the two teams and also would be safe from being “bounced”. Midget Mac still wouldn’t do the challenge, after babbling a bit, and it was time to begin. Meagan and Brandi C got DQed first since they took the money from the floor. Needless to say nobody else did that then. In the end Hoopz and Whiteboy became the largest money grabbers and became the two team captains.
Everyone was then given a few hours to decide how the teams would go down. Hoopz used the time wisely to see who wanted to be on her team while Boston went around and talked to both Whiteboy and Hoopz to make sure he wasn’t the one going home. With Whiteboy he worked the Jewish angle while he worked the “charm” angle with Hoopz. Not sure how well it worked but who knows. Meagan on the other hand wanted to be on Hoopz’s team but of course that wouldn’t work since Hoopz will obviously pick Pumpkin. Since she knew that was out she had to work on Whiteboy to make sure she didn’t get kicked out first. Nibblz has her own strategy, to lay low and talk on the phone. Not sure if that will work considering how many people can’t stand her lisp to begin with.
Midget Mac then continued his downward spiral by not saying sorry to Brandi. Although Rodeo tried to help him do so, he wouldn’t and it put him even more on the chopping block to leave. With that it was time for the team picking and bouncing to take place. Hoopz and Whiteboy got to choose their teams pick’em style with Hoopz being first. In the end the teams ended up as follows: Hoopzs’ team – Rodeo, 12 Pack, Entertainer, Heather, Toastee, Pumkin, Nibblz / Whiteboy’s team – Chance, Real, Boston, Heat, Destiney, Meagan, Brandi. That means that Midget Mac is the one getting bounced first. He kind of deserves it though, considering he gave up not once but twice! I Love Money sure seems to be one of the craziest, trashiest and hilarious Reality TV shows in a LONG time. And that’s why I think so many people are going to love it!
