Sunday, July 20, 2003   Cupid, Draw Back Your Ho! OK, so somehow I have caught two consecutive episodes of a television show on CBS called "Cupid". Simon Cowell of "American Idol" infamy introduces the bits and provides snarky comment. It's about a girl named Lisa Shannon. Her two friends, Laura and Kim, are along for the ride. Lisa is a pretty and personable 25 year old. A former Catholic school girl (I can picture it), she's looking for love. Lisa Shannon, 25, was born and raised in the suburbs outside Detroit. Her father is a commercial pilot and her mother is an administrative assistant for a financial advisor. She is the oldest of four siblings, sister Erin, 21, and two brothers, Patrick, 23, and Brian, 19. Growing up in a large, close-knit family, Lisa counts spending quality time with them and her many friends as her favorite things to do. The basic deal is that she and her two friends interview a pile of guys, pick some, then go through a weeding out process and hopefully she falls in love and gets married. CUPID has two distinct parts. In the first two episodes, Lisa will crisscross the country with Kimberly and Laura, auditioning potential suitors. During each audition, the guys will have 30 seconds to impress them. In episode three, the men who made the first cut have one more chance to win over Lisa as she and her friends select the final 10 candidates. Beginning in episode four, Lisa will get to know each of the 10 suitors better through a series of dates. During these episodes, Lisa's friends will react to the filmed dates live, as they continue to judge whose intentions are honorable. Next, America will get the chance to play Cupid by casting their votes to protect Lisa from the men they perceive are wrong for her, in the hopes of steering her towards her ideal mate. While viewers decide who they believe is Lisa's perfect match, the guy with the least amount of votes will be eliminated each week. Once America casts their final vote, it's up to Lisa and her Mr. Right. Will he propose to her? Will she accept? And what will happen to the $1 million dowry that's at stake? Will the couple be able to stay married for at least one year? OK, I saw the first two shows. Most of the guys were LOSERS. I'd have been embarrassed to show up and interview like most of these guys did. Lousy clothing, unwashed, unkempt, and no intention of doing anything other than being on a TV show. On the other hand, Lisa takes a huge dip in my book for having the other two as friends. Laura is the busty bitch from hell. Kimberly is the girl who almost is pretty if you work her up for television. Both, playing a part, are the bitch girls from beyond hell. Rude, crude, nasty, you name it. Laura, dear Laura, spent the second episode with her tits hanging out like they were on special at the local Walmart Super Center. She needs a good spanking. Kimberly needs to meet a guy who owns a gas station. You know, get pumped regular. I don't know if I'll catch any more shows; it's past my bedtime. A lot of guys who made the first cut seem like really good guys and I hate to see them sliced and diced by the bitch girls. There are a couple of Rico Suave players, proving that giving three women the chance to pick out perfect men is not without its problems. Anyway, that's my take, like it or don't. -- posted by Chuck at Sunday, July 20, 2003 | E-mail | Permalink | Main | 0 comments
