Oh, you Devil's!

The Season Finale was last night. Five episodes and still no house mouse but, there was lots of low testosterone drama.

Please. I like Gypsy but, if you come in with a baseball bat, into someones house, and get to smashing things, you're going to get your ass beat. THEN- not later. He was all by himself and I think there were five LD main characters. Gypsy had his helmet on which might not be a bad idea if you're fixin' to fight five guys but...he looked like that iconic photo of Michael Dukakis, helmeted and sitting atop a tank. Gee, what's Mike been up to since then?

So, yeah, the show is a bit scripted like all the other reality shows on TV. I'm not saying these guys are actors but, maybe they wanna be? Shows like "Big Brother" and "Survivor" like young, attractive people who think they might like to try their hand at acting. Porn is still kinda like too. Everyone wants to be on TV because you never know what comes next until you try. I've never seen "The Jersey Shore" but, because of it, I know who Snookie is. It means nothing to me that I know who she is but, it might one day if I'm ever on "Celebrity Jeopardy" after becoming famous, of course, for being the star of my own reality series: "FERRERMAN!" It could happen...

It's kinda weird that a show has its season finale after just five episodes but I think that's the network testing the waters and being fiscally prudent. As far as I know it's a hit. Even people who might think it's stupid or fake probably watch if, for no other reason, to mock it for being stupid or fake. The aforementioned reality shows are all derivative of themselves but, I still watch despite that and maybe because of it. And frankly, I like the bottoms. You probably knew that.

They should have beat Gypsy's ass but, that is not always good theatre or storytelling. It's all in the editing. It looks like it's gonna go down. Then it doesn't actually go down. But, it will go down...later. A few quick cuts of the tape makes you think it might. When it doesn't, your mind accepts that it will later. So you keep watching. It's like the crisis of the moment on 24 hour news channels. THIS drama is important and unfolding NOW so, keep watching!

How fake is this? Are they like lawyers or politicians that freaking tear each other apart and then go to lunch as the good friends they are? It might well be. Lawyers and politicians are doing their jobs which is putting on a show for us, the viewing public. If the script says you have to think gay marriage is ruining the country, you have to go with that. Just be happy you get to be hero AND villain. Do a good job and you might get a featured role in the ensuing episodes. Just act like you care. Don't resolve anything too quickly though. There's always got to be a money shot. And it's always got to be, later...

And rest in peace, Juice, who succumbed (off camera) to a fatal heart attack. Unless, that is, he was merely written out of the show.
