Now, this isn't as much of a moment as an idea ... but I had to get this in here somewhere. On Celebrity Apprentice this week, the teams were tasked with making a viral video for All laundry detergent. In the brainstorming sessions for each team, there were some extremely bizarre and simply terrible ideas thrown around (Jesse James being washed by midgets) but it was the team captain Clint Black's commercial that took the cake for .... let's say awkward tastelessness. Mr. Black, a Grammy-winning country singer, immediately decided that the target demographic (middle-aged women with kids) would love an ad rife with double entendres. The basis of his commercial was the phrase "doing the dirty laundry" which apparently people use as code-word for sex (?). So here's the rundown of the video. Clint calls his "wife" and asks if they can do the dirty laundry (sex, of course) when she gets home, unfortunately she says no. We then see Clint walk into the laundry room, grab the bottle of All, give a shifty-eyed look around, and close the door, presumably taking care of it himself and using the detergent as .... lubricant of some sort? (awkward AND tasteless, no?) Later that evening, Clint is reading a book in bed when his wife comes in and announces that they can, in fact, do the dirty laundry tonight. Clint, however, satiated from earlier responds with "no, that's ok sweetie, it was a small load, I did it by hand." .............................................................................. yeah, masturbation joke. For the full affect watch the commercial here
Contestant of the Week: Que (Making the Band 4)
Qwanell Mosely, a member of Diddy's band Day26, gained honorable mention last week for engaging in a major fights with a bandmate.Now, that was not the first fight he had nor the first case of bitchassness, but after that fight, the group made up and Que seemingly understood his mistakes. Well obviously that was not the case as this week, Que got into a shouting match in public, and just caused an extreme ruckus. Not only that, but he almost got into a fight with the entire rest of the band. Recently, Robert discusses Que's propensity for fighting; "One day it's a cab driver, the next day it's you (Willie), then it's 3 dudes in the club, then it's Brian ...". Of course, after this altercation there was a flowing of tears and baring of souls which led to peace in the group. Later on, Diddy called a meeting with the guys and made what I think was a good call .... He sat them down, talked about the problem, and ended the session by basically telling them that he didn't buy this sudden, new found love and sending Que home for the next set of concerts. The other guys didn't look too distraught, and the preview for the next episode even showed them saying that "it ... wasn't that bad." So we shall see what goes on with Que. And I can assure you that if he continues to be a part of the group, he'll be getting this award more than a few times.
Show of the Week: Real World/Road Rules Challenge: The Duel II
The Challenge is back and ready to entertain through its own special mix of interpersonal drama (sex, physical altercations, emotional turmoil) and physical challenges. Just like every other reality show, there's the rule that if anyone fights, they're immediately thrown out. Normally it takes a few episodes for someone to throw down, but in the season premier of The Challenge, two people were gone before the first challenge even took place. The reason was just pointless drama, and not really the best part. The fight itself took place between Adam and CT who have had many altercations in the past, all of which Adam has refrained from retaliating (though this could be due to the fact that Adam is about 5'10" 150lbs, while CT is 6'3" 240lbs). This time, however, Adam couldn't hold himself back after a punch straight to the jaw from CT. Unfortunately the fight didn't end there. Once Adam was removed form the area, CT continued trying to charge at him, pushing through 4 or 5 of the other guys trying to hold him back (strong like bull). CT even chased him through the courtyard, ending the tirade with "yeah I wanna kill him .... I wanna smash his face in and rip out this heart and eat it!"
Yezzur, that was this week in reality television.
Vaya con Dios
