Speaking of crap coming back, remember Puddle of Mudd? If she didn't like you the first time, do you really think she will the second time? Apparently they do. And it seems as though other's agree, as the new CD is selling surprisingly well. What's wrong with people?
Did anyone see Mike, one of the kids on Kid Nation, cry like a little girl last night? Mike was one of the 4 leaders on the show. He's one of those little smart, socially awkward kids. You know the one I am talking about. It's the kid who thinks that just because he's smart, he's cool as well. He thinks everyone likes him. He doesn't actually know what a real friend is because no one will interact with him like that. Everyone thinks he's an idiot. You try to have a conversation with him and he pulls out some random fact about mitochondria, or some crap like that. No one likes this kid. Yeah, that kid, thats Mike. And if you think I'm judging this kid based on seeing him in 4 or 5 episodes of some faux reality show, keep reading and you'll see that I'm right.
So anyways, they had these elections to see if the kids wanted new leaders. No one was going to run against Mike. Then some random kid says, "Ahh, hell. I'll run against him." Now when I say random kid, I really mean random kid. This kid has never made an appearance in the show before. Other than maybe being in the background. He's certainly never said anything on the show before. Mike, thinking that he's cool and that everyone likes him, thought he had this thing sewn up.
There is 10 kid's in Mike's red district, meaning that 10 kids would vote for their new leader, either Mike or some random kid named Guylan. No really, Guylan. He's home schooled, enough said. The outcome of the vote, 9-1 in favor of Guylan. My first thought was that it was nice to give Mike a pity vote. Then I remembered that Mike got a vote. I'm assuming that the one vote for Mike, was his own vote. What reason did these kids give for voting Mike out? Not one of them said he was a bad leader. In fact, not one of them even mentioned him as a leader. They said they just wanted a change, mix things up. Translation, they don't like Mike.
The best part of all of this was how they read the votes. Mike's vote for himself was the second vote read. So by the time the seventh vote was read it was already a sure thing that Guylan was going to win. Mike being the smart guy certainly knew this. He started crying as soon as that vote was read. Every kid in there knew it too, as they all started cheering a little. Either the guy reading the votes didn't know, or he wanted to rub it in. He continued to read the final three votes, all for Guylan. After reading each vote they showed Mike's face. More and more pain and tears on Mike's face as each one was read. The kid was already crying, why did they make the decision to keep reading the votes? Hell, even Survivor stops reading the votes after it's assured as to who is leaving. I don't know why they kept reading the votes, but I'm glad they did.
It didn't end there. Mike then goes on to make some speech about how he's happy for Guylan and some other crap. The whole thing had an undertone of you guys are assholes.
The only thing that could have made this better is if Mike would have voted for Guylan. If I was one of the producers of the show I would have said "screw it, Mike is not going to win, let's change his vote to Guylan." See this is why I should have my own show.
Huh, I got a little carried away with the whole Kid Nation thing. I better stop here.
One other thing, the last time I checked this whole Ellen thing is about a stupid dog. Unless that dog is fighting crime or helping kids stuck in wells, I don't want to see him on TV.
And that, that's just what I've heard, and some of it I saw and some of it I just made up.
