She Likes to Eat the Dirt

Hey, you did it. I'm just mocking it.

Happy anniversary.

Today’s entry is all about props to me, from me. It’s now been one full week of successful blogging, with at least one new entry a day (sometimes two). To mark this momentous occasion, I’ve identified a few other entertainment milestones that happened within one week or less. My accomplishment is definitely in line with some of these great moments in television history.

Took place within one day or less:
The Real World San Francisco’s Jo leaves The Gauntlet 2 within hours of her arrival on the island of Tobago. And while it’s certainly fun to watch, it’s pretty unclear to both the cast, and the audience, what caused her to snap, call the local authorities and declare she’s been manhandled. Had she attended the party for Mark’s birthday going on inside the house, you might have been able to believe some of what she was claiming happened. However, she spent most of the episode outside on the phone, talking to her dad. Perhaps it was the chocolate sauce on her bed that really pushed her over the edge? I suppose we’ll never know…unless she comes to the inevitable The Gaunlet 2 reunion special!

Took place within two days or less:
The first threesome on The Real World Las Vegas (or actually on any season of The Real World, for that matter). Respectable cast mates Trishelle, Steven and Brynn provided this priceless moment on their second night of their stay at the Palms Hotel and Casino. I suppose they just assumed what happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas. Unless, of course, you’re time there is being documented by MTV. Oops.

Took place within three days or less:
Lamest nickname in reality history established by Mensa candidates Scott, Drew, Jase and Michael on Big Brother 4. They willingly, and excitedly, decided to start referring to themselves as “The Four Horsemen.” I had to mention this because that nicknamed lasted through the entire season and never sounded anything other than ridiculous when mentioned. Hard to believe that Drew went on to actually take home the grand prize.

Honorable mentions - milestones that took place during the first episode, during the first week, of a new series:

Ashlee Simpson dumped by boyfriend Josh on episode one/season one of The Ashlee Simpson Show. So surprising that this didn’t last – they seemed to have such a deep connection in that first slightly-less-than-twenty-five-minute episode. How many other couples can claim to have that whole armpit sniffing thing in common?

Carmen Electra and Dave Navarro, engaged lovebirds on Til Death Do Us Part: Carmen and Dave, pose as corpses for photographer David LaChappelle during the premiere of their reality series. Did I mention that this picture will be used on their wedding invitations?

During Beauty and the Geek's first challenge, Lauren misspells the word “tattoo” and states that Thailand is in Korea. Cheryl misspells the word “calendar” and notes that Columbus sailed the ocean blue in the year of 1942 (duh). Spelling and geography teachers everywhere cringe.
