I'm mad. I'm sorry, I would like to think I'm passed bitching
about goddamn Bunim-Murray, but I'll come right out and say
it, I'm fucking sick and tired of their goddamn bullshit.
Seriously. I don't care. Call me bitter, call me whatever
the fuck you want, I'm just telling you. You know, it's one
thing if you are an asshole and only an asshole. It's one
thing if you're a horrible person and the world discovers
it. It's one thing if you are bitchy, miserable, inconsiderate,
and fucking lame all the goddamn time and the cameras fucking
see it. HOWEVER, it's ANOTHER THING when there IS a story
to be told and they do not fucking tell it. It's seriously
lame. And though god knows whether or not I plan on involving
myself with this group of irrational, hypocritical, biased
assholes, I still don't appreciate the crap they pull, and
I don't care whether or not they read this because they fucking
KNOW what they are doing. They KNOW they tell half the story.
They know it. Most often they tell a version so damn skewed
that it no longer resembles the truth.
Now, I need to be a bit more realistic than I once was about
this crap. After being out of the show for a season, certain
things have become clearer, and the main thing is that these
seven strangers are put on this show for you to laugh at.
It's true. We really don't know this when we get that call
that we made it. We think we'll make a difference, be loved,
have a great time. We do in some respects, but that's not
why we're here. I don't care how noble the casters are or
their intentions, it's about ratings, it's about establishing
roles of heroes and villains. None of us are heroes. None
of us are villains. We are MADE that way for YOU, and as an
audience member myself, I can appreciate the fact that we
don't owe shit to the cast members such as myself who were
too stupid to realize the reality of their fortune. I will
no longer ask you to have pity, to be sympathetic, to give
the benefit of the doubt. I probably wouldn't either AT ALL
if I didn't know the cast member personally. I ask nothing
of anyone anymore in that respect. However, I feel better
when I say out loud how fucking bullshit it is when they make
an asshole a stud, make the insecure child an icon of power,
make a strong and courageous lady into a babbling little girl,
and make a warm-hearted genuine man a rejected fool. It is
NOT fair that some are rewarded and some are punished. I've
seen them take the most boring fucking losers and turn them
into idols. I've seen them take true givers and turn them
into dipshits. I resent them for this. I watch the show, I
look forward to the ten spot, but I despise those who make
the decisions on how to manipulate our characters. I do. I'm
not having it, and I don't fucking care who reacts.
IMPORTANT POINT:
I need to focus a bit more on one sentence I slapped on here
with not nearly enough necessary elaboration. We are not heroes,
we are not villains. I don't mean to bash anyone here, and
no one specific. I don't mean to say that all those that have
been portrayed well are serious assholes that don't deserve
it at all. However, I'm saying that it is very difficult to
witness individuals who have flaws seem flawless. It is not
fair to take certain cast members and focus EXCLUSIVELY on
their negatives, and it is equally unfair to take other cast
members and focus EXCLUSIVELY on their positives. It feels
VERY deliberate, and you start to wonder if the story board
people actually sit around laughing and saying, "Let's
just screw this person. I just don't like him," and work
their asses off to pull any video evidence of the person being
lame and hiding any evidence of the person's feelings or actions
being completely justifiable. I mean, do they know how biased
they're being? Do they know they favor some over others? Do
Mary-Ellis and Jon actually sit around and say, "This
person will be the [insert stereotype], that person will be
the [insert stereotype]"? They claim they don't, but
I don't know where they get off telling one-sided stories
like they do. I just don't know how the fuck they sleep at
night sometimes. Maybe they don't mean to do it. Maybe I'm
being harsh. They are obviously brilliant to have such a long
running show, and one CANNOT help but admire them for their
success. It's just that people become products, and it upsets
me sometimes. They know this, they've dealt with complaining
cast members for over a decade. It feels like that so much
that it's hard not to believe it. We audience members are
MADE to feel certain ways. We are taken for a ride of comedy
and tragedy, and we enjoy it. I enjoy it. It just really really
sucks for seven people. Only seven of millions and millions
of people. Well, seven and their significant others in life
that are affected by editing as well. So, let me reiterate
that I'm not asking anyone to watch with an insightful eye.
That's boring. I'm merely venting because
well, I have
a website and giving my opinion and perspective is what I
do here.
