Your Best Reality Show Villian

You made it!

If your week was anything like mine (Busy), you will know that it appears as if the week just literally flew past since our last visit...Amazing!

Well, many of you enjoyed my last writing around the new Batman movie (At least my round about analysis thereof). In fact, I had commented within my tangent on Monday that I was not a fan of Christian Bale.

Low and behold, shortly thereafter reports were released that Christian Bale had been arrested for an alleged assault of his own mother and sister. Quite frankly, I had absolutely no prior knowledge of said detainment...so you see this was just simply another timely coincidence. Careful, I have people everywhere (haha).

Speaking of, earlier this week a new poll released on Thursday declared your choice for "Best Reality Show Villain" and the winner (Gee, there are soo many)...

Mr. Idol
Congratulations on your choice: Simon Cowell of American Idol. Perhaps it was Simon's charming delivery and loving critique of the 'wanna be' contestants that earned him the top spot on your list of favorite hatefuls.

Despair not, Simon only garnered 39% of the vote - however, more than enough votes to take the crown. Even better, overall American Idol was deemed to be the "Best Reality Show" out of more than 1 million online voters.

So you see, this further proves my noted theory that the bad guy, for some unknown reason, always happens to be a fellow Brit - not just in the movies, but even on the small screen as well.

The good news, you have the top villain on the #1 reality show! We know what we are doing.

Let the Casting Begin...
Ah, I mean audition (There is a difference - wink). Last week, AI officially began auditions for an unbelievable 8th season. For this longevity in itself is quite the accomplishment.

The question is - just how will Simon and Nigel keep the show format entertaining, fresh and exciting. Each season of the talent competition has brought about an interesting set of 'scenarios' from endless public spectacles, William Hung, Clay Aiken, Justin's hair, Sanjaya (Teen sensation), Simon and Ryan's tussles, 'Dawg' and of course, 'Hey Paula!' Abdul.

Really, I have never viewed the program (Gasp). I simply do not feel compelled to arrive home and view the program with the rest of America. Well, program the TIVO is more of an accurate statement, nothing is ever viewed in 'Real-time' anymore. Further, I am not entertained by BAD singing or antics - headaches are not my preferred choice.

On that note: Only 14 percent of survey respondents said they would actually audition for "American Idol". Alright, well perhaps the world is a better place and we have been spared from the 'Talent'...

Your Villain or Mine?
The recent study (Poll) left me contemplating just exactly what is a villain? According to my fantastic resources (Dictionary.com and Wikipedia), a villain is a "Cruelly malicious person" and antagonist who negatively affects others...

Simon, this is not looking good for you buddy...

Strangely, one of the many reason that I actually like Simon is because of his no-nonsense, "Let the Truth Be Told" approach. Although Simon did not discover the Spice Girls (That was the 'Other' Simon Fuller - who also happens to be the creator of the show), Simon Cowell does understand the pop culture as he did previously have a professional career in the music business. I give Simon tremendous credit for sitting through all of the 'Talent' - less.

The real villains of the show are those who are not serious about a real career in the music business.

Amazingly, I find ideas in everything (There is a hint within that statement), and after reading this article I had another brilliant (-?) thought...

How about a new reality show just for villains?

Go with me for a second, just think we could have Simon vs. Gordon Ramsey (Hell's Kitchen) vs. Omarosa (The Apprentice) vs. Johnny Fairplay (Survivor) vs. Evel Dick (Big Brother) vs. Boston Rob (Survivor) vs. Richard Hatch (Survivor) vs. Spencey (The Hills) vs. New York (Flavor of Love) vs. Anybody from Rock of Love vs. Tanisha (Bad Girls Club) vs. Rosie O'Donnell, and lastly, Darth Vader.

And, in true competitive reality fashion- all living together in a mansion for 13 weeks.

Ha - how's that for some quality entertainment? Let the games begin!
