Beauty And The Geek: ‘It’s Good To Be King”
Posted by David Onda Categories: Comedy, Games, Prime Time, Reality, Editorial, Features,
The contestants of Beauty and the Geek came one step closer to fulfilling the transformation that this social experiment strives for. Although tonight’s ever-popular “makeover” episode left something to be desired.
Tonight’s episode began with the return of Jesse and Erin from the elimination room. Last week they knocked off the powerhouse team of Will and Rebecca. Man-beauty Sam eagerly awaited the return of the winning team and hoped that it would be his love-muffin Rebecca walking through the door. Now, last week I had a lot of unflattering things to say about Sam. I will admit, however, that my thoughts on Sam have changed a lot since the last episode. So read on after the break to find out why. As was expected, everybody but Sam was happy to see Jesse and Erin enter the room and everyone celebrated with hugs and boisterous talking.

When Bob Barker left CBS’s Price is Right, the network started to scramble to fill his sizable shoes. Rumors abounded, names were tied to CBS, and everyone waited to see what would happen. Rosie O’Donnell turned the gig down, and Drew Carey emerged from obscurity to take the job. He did turn it down first, still tasting the bitter disappointment after his own show left the airwaves. CBS called back to woo Carey, a tactic that worked. Monday, Carey started his duties as the new host of Price.
In a recent interview, Carey stated, “This is a really good fit. I’m really comfortable here…” Well, I made it a point to watch Carey on Monday, and I am of a different opinion. The former Whose Line Is It Anyway? host seemed uncomfortable, nervous, and had difficulty controlling contestants. His jokes were dry, his chitchat vague, and his face bloated. But then, admittedly, I have never been a Drew Carey fan. I don’t think he’s funny…I think he just has a good knack for surrounding himself with terribly funny people.

Drew Carey, come on down! You’re the next celebrity to get engaged!
That’s right, everybody’s favorite four-eyes has decided to take the Plinko-like plunge. The new host of The Price is Right got engaged to his girlfriend, Nicole Jaracz earlier this week. Carey says that no date has been set just yet, but I’m sure he plans on getting as close to the perfect day as he can – without going over. The bigger question is, as he spins the big wheel of wedding plans, will Carey be able to find room in his busy schedule to get hitched? Not only will he be pulling double duty on Price and resuming duties on CBS’s The Power of 10, but he must also find time to help control the pet population by getting his pets spayed or neutered.

One of the fun things about writing this blog is the opportunity to report on all of the crazy new reality shows. Just when I think the well’s run dry on ideas, along comes another bizarre one. Case in point, Lifetime has announced America’s Psychic Challenge, brought to you by The Real World producer Bunim-Murray Productions. It’s a challenge to see who is the best psychic among a group of contestants. No, really. With events that test their psychic abilities. Each week, psychics are eliminated until the best of the bunch is left standing (and do you think that person could have predicted their win at the onset of the competition?). The winner takes home $100,000 and a contract with the Psychic Friends Hotline. Naw, I just made that last part up (the $100 grand is right though!). E! News Daily reporter John Burke is set to host. Do we have a ratings winner here? Hang on, let me look into my crystal ball… my magic 8 ball, that is. “Outlook not so good.”

Regis Philbin To Host Million Dollar Password
Posted by David Onda Categories: Games, Prime Time, CBS, Talent, Editorial, News,
Variety is reporting that Regis Philbin has signed on with CBS to host a million-dollar version of the hit ’60s gameshow Password. The new series will be called Million Dollar Password and will, as the title suggests, offer a million dollar grand prize. Six episodes have been ordered and will begin airing later this season. The show will combine elements of three incarnations of the Password game – Password, Password Plus and, yes, Super Password. But I think we can all agree that any host is better than Burt Convey.
