'True Beauty' trims to final three
All right, so let me get this straight. One of the final three in this ridiculous show True Beauty is actually going to take home a six-figure prize? Give me a break!
If you haven't been watching, this show is supposedly the search for "the most beautiful person in America," with the twist that the contestants are being secretly assessed on their inner beauty, by some of the most contrived, ridiculous means possible.
The last three -- Billy, Joel and Julia -- seem nice enough, though frequently quite fake. But basically, one of them is going to win cash for not being mean on camera. Yawn.
The show was semi-amusing at first, but the premise has worn thin, and so have the judgmental expressions on the judges' faces.
That said, I tried to watch The Bachelor last night since the end of the season is nigh, and I just couldn't. I mean, it was on, but I was incapable of concentrating on it. So ... someone got kicked off and had her heart broken. Was it the Most! Shocking! Rose! Ceremony! Ever!? I don't know.
I am disturbed, though, that in the finale in two weeks Jason's son gets dragged into the mix to meet the final two. What kind of lesson is this kid going to take from this experience? As if "Meet Potential Mommy No. 1 and Potential Mommy No. 2" wouldn't be confusing enough if cameras weren't following them around. Yuck.

I quit watching this early on - I just couldn't tolerate the fakery and meanness. (I guess that could apply to both shows, but I'm referring True Beauty) Do you get the sense that these rocket scientists have figued this out yet?
SKK: At first, I thought CJ had figured out the twist, but the next episode, his behavior made me think maybe not. I can't believe none of the rest of them have, though. I mean, seriously, most beautiful in America? Even if they were self-deluded, couldn't they figure out from looking at the other competitors that something was amiss? I guess not.

I honestly was hoping Billy the vitamin salesman would win, but still, Julia is undeniably gorgeous (inside and out of course)
