Reality Report, Issue 1.

The Reality Report. First of all welcome to the first edition of VelVet's Reality Report. This is going to be an ongoing thing on blogger from now on, get used it!! The Contender: Now to start things off with, I must say Mark Burnett has done it again. Within 5 minutes of watching the show, I was hooked. The men for the most part where fine!!! ok enough of that part of the show, let's get to the concept: 16 fighters from all of the United States are split into two different sides(East Coast vs. West Coast, the only problem I had with this was that Texas was with the East Coast side. Ummmm Excuse me Mr. Burnett, have you read any American History...Texas is West Coast, biatch!). Now each week(I think the show is airing two times a week, but we'll find out this Thursday when a new episode airs) both Coasts compete against each other as a team. This week they had to run something like 5 miles carrying these logs, and every so often they would reach a point where there was a new log, and a code to unlock the log. It was a very hard mental game, not to mention the physical part. The West Coast won, and this is where the game gets interesting. The winning team gets to pick a fighter to go into the next bought and that fighter gets to pick his opponent from the losing Coast. The West Coast picked their smallest and what they thought weakest fighter. This boy had some guts cause the opponent he picked was not only the best fighter on the East Coast but he was also undefeated(i think, i was a little inebriated) and this is where Burnett had me once again. These two guys actually start fighting in a real ring, with a real audience, and trust me they get to kick each other's asses!!!! Needless to say the small squirt from the West Coast kicked the East Coast's guy ass. Next time I plan on writing with the guys actual names instead of the coasts. And I'm sure most of ya''ll have read about this right? Which makes this show even more compelling. So all and all this show is great, it's Boxing Suviva Style. (Click Here if you wanna run down of the fighters) Speaking of Survivor, did ya'll also see Team Romber lie, steal and cheat their way through The Amazing Race last night? It was freaking hilarious. It was Survivor: All Stars all over again! Team Gay Boys and Team Norman(the gay boy and his mom) are still in the Race, so woo hoo!! and Thank God Team Barbie/Team Mattel are out of the game. I also found it completely funny for my own demented reasons, when the host Phil was explaining the next challenge in Chile(the country they were in), he said this "Teams must now travel to the center of Santiago..."-nuf said. Also Jonathon from The Amazing Race 6 states for the millionith time that he doesn't beat his wife...(Click here for the Article)-I still don't believe him. Til Next time I'm Out!

Hey! That show, THE CONTENDER, well the youngest guy on it, hes from San Benito, which is Lupez's hometown! It was in the newspaper, something about his dad got him into wrestling and how hes on it. My friends friend said that she went to school with him at Harlingen (north, our rival school), and hes currently a senior. Crazy right!

That makes him the THIRD Reality TV personal that I know of in the vallley. I can list them!

1. THE REAL WORLD BOSTON: Elka.
Shes from Brownsville, Tx, which is about 30 minutes from my hometown. I met her last July 4, she was nice, and shes still living at home with her dad.

2. Fox's BOOTCAMP- Ryan Wolfe.
Hes now a Action 4 News Reporter here in the valley. He use to live in Philly and went to college there, and he was the runner up to winning that show. Ive seen him in person, me and Lupez are convinced hes gay, hes all muscular also.

3. The Contender- that guy, forgot his name.

Info above.
