Reality TV: Take 2

So I've been watching Last Comic Standing on NBC the past couple of weeks-
"Hold on! This isn't the Shayne we know!"
Hey! First off, if you're new to the site, then you wouldn't know me, so who are you to talk? Second, I know nobody else visits the site besides three people (Some of our staff only post... you know who you are... you make me sick... but you don't know that you make me sick because you don't read this anyway). Third, if you DO know me, hear me out, Mr. Snap Judgement.

I love stand-up comedy. This is probably the best reality TV show in North America. That doesn't say much, because this show would have been so much better if they took out the dumb reality component from the show. Here's what the show should be:

1. Comedians do gig on stage.
2. People vote for the best comedian.
3. Best comedian gets $10,000.

Instead, they drama it all up to make it seem like we should care:

1. Comedians do gig on stage.
2. Judges vote for comedians that aren't nessessarily funny, but do it just for the conflict.
3. Make sure that they include one token gay guy, funny or not (in this case, not).
4. They all go to a house.
5. Now the comedians do the usual hackneyed backstabbing, plotting, and voting for who should leave.
6. Eventually, the last comedian left (hence the name) will get the chance to star in a sitcom or an infomercial... or something, I'm not sure, I wasn't paying attention on that part.

Yep. My version essentially boils down to America's Funniest Home Videos, but instead it would be called America's Funniest Comedians (how original). What comedian wouldn't jump at the chance for $10000 for 1 nights work? I'd jump off my house several times for that much money.

To wrap things up: Reality TV still sucks brains.
