Also road rules. I guess bc I said I like road trips?

I said I hated road trips, and I too will be on the road rules bus with you and NCS.

What a nightmare of a trip THAT would be I don't mind saying. Where's your purse? You don't have a purse? What's wrong with you? How about a burrito?

Yeah...cause we don't do that already.

ThrashersFan, you're destined for American Idol

Stars aren't born they're created — just ask the Monkees. All you need is the big break and American Idol is it. Whether it was an impromptu serenade in the school cafeteria or the business presentation-turned-standup routine, you've always been a performer at heart.


Fuck them, that is so not me. I am a brainiac who would rather be shot in the head than speak in front of people. American Idol? sheesh.

Edited to say that I think I now understand this a bit more. Everyone else got chosen for Road Rules and I got AI because I don't play well with others. If that is why the quizmaster chose AI for me I will have to retract my statement above (not apologize though, still holding onto that in case there is a God) and say that this is right the fuck on target.

At least we know it is possible for someone to get something other than Road Rules. I was beginning to feel like a schill for Mtv.

You still are--I got Road Rules too, which is total crap, as I am quite risk-averse when it comes to death-defying stunts and the idea of doing one of those idiotic bungee-jumping events to win a lousy couple hundred bucks would never even occur to me.

I liked road trips, but I'll be on the other team in Road Rules vs. Real World. Apparently I don't like eating a plate of mealy worms enough to go outside.

Anyone else intimidated by gambling? I like casinos, the people watching is great, but the idea of sitting down to play a game for money frightens me. Money-wise I'm very conservative.

It's not my bag either. I have plenty of other ways to waste my money. Poker with friends is another matter, but I've never been in a casino where I haven't wanted to leave in 5 minutes (or less).

there is a potential Trademark/dillution claim here. you need to act quickly or your description wil be coopted NTTAWWT.

In a case of coincidental irony, only 3 days before that article came out I was lounging at the day spa getting a paraffin wax pedicure. I'm wearing Urban DEcay Bruise these days.

Jamie Kellner's handlers should keep him away from the press, because if he thinks that either (a) he's right as a matter of copyright law or (b) this argument will resonate with anyone other than his mom, his assistant, and flaks within the industry, then he's a drooling idiot.

Jamie Kellner is an idiot. I dealt with him once back when he was the president of the WB, and he was making stupid comments right and left back then too. How he got to be the president of anything is a mystery to me.

See, this is the weird thing. I hate gambling with money. When I was last in a casino (in the Bahamas), we played with exactly five dollars until we lost it. It took about 45 minutes, then we were back in our place watching the ugly storm off the coast.

But, there is something about this Hold 'Em game on which I have gotten hooked, thanks to the travel channel and NCS.

The proper inquiry is, who did he have to blow, and how often, to become president of a Net?

I was fascinated by the final of the world poker tour, which was replayed this weekend (remarkable final hand). But it's like reality shows -- it's a lot more fun watching other people screw up.

Query about the WPT: How boring is it for the studio audience? On TV, we get to see the hole cards, but surely the audience can't see those, lest they gasp when a pair of aces comes out (or whatever). Seeing only the flop (if they can see that), surely doesn't make for compelling viewing.

Apparently the quiz does take into account other reality shows, though I am at a complete loss to explain this result:

spookyfish, you're destined for Fear Factor

"What a wuss, I could totally do that." Of course you could, that's why your reality show is Fear Factor.

You're the fearless type — always the one jumping off the highest rock, riding the biggest wave, taking the biggest dare. You are fiercely competitive, most likely to turn a nice dinner into an eating contest. Sure it scares your friends when you play chicken on a two-lane highway, but it's good training for your reality show debut.

The scoring was obviously designed by contrarians. Either that, or I'm just in complete denial.

That final hand was remarkable. I also couldn't believe the risk-taking by the Russian guy. That couldn't have been by the book...

And, btw, books have been ordered... Soon I'll be able to quit my day job and head out on the World Poker Tour. Guess I'll need some help with a nickname.
