Reality TV

[CaptainChorizo 1,977]

I think almost all network reality shows have on set medical people but they usually don't provide psychiatric help once the show is over.Given the circumstances of this season and some of the questionable casting they have to take all precautions even for self serving PR reasons to try and prevent certain people offing themselves.

Valerie Harper Despite being given 3 months to live in March she will now be on the upcoming season of Dancing With The Stars in September.

 

F F S...

 

And to think I moved out Annette Funicello from my Rotten.com team for cancer dancer...

 

Makes ME sick...

 

In some ways Dancing With The Stars/Strictly Come Dancing have a lot in common with the Deathlist. A group of celebrities from all walks of life are selected, we make judgements on their performance and they are eliminated one by one.

 

Can we now get Len Goodmen to make predictions on their destination in the afterlife.............

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

......... HEAVEN !

Reality tv is worse then pond scum.  Nuke em all if you ask good ole Lonnie.

Andy Herren has become the fourth BB US 15 contestant to lose their job over their behavior on the show's live 24/7 Internet feeds.

All four of these contestants are still sequestered from the outside world and are still unaware they've been fired from their real-life jobs. That is, until tomorrow night after the live final episode airs and the winner is crowned. 3 of the 4 firees are actually the 3 that are still left in the game. It will be interesting to see how they react... I certainly hope none of them go and kill themselves over it.

"Come Dine with Me's greatest-ever contestant" kills herself aged 38. And no, CDWM isn't "better" than other reality shows just because it focuses on a middle-class activity.

 

Apparently the girl had also appeared on Club Reps and Blind Date. The wonders of the fame-hungry.

Well, it takes all sorts because I'd rather kill myself than appear on reality TV.

I kinda like CDWM purely because of the commentary by Dave Lamb, a style that has been copied to death in a piss poor fashion.

Reality TV is the refuge for the wannabes who want fame without having to work for it, ya know, circumvent due process or summat.

Anybody watch that "Embarrassing Bodies" cobblers?

Fucking shocking stuff, there was a woman on it who had breasts the size of prized marrows, I had to watch it several times to believe what i was seeing.

I was off for a week afterwards with a broken fuggin wrist!

[Lard Bazaar 3,799]

I love Embarrassing Bodies. I'm not allowed to watch it though, unless I go upstairs, because it makes Himself vomit. I especially love the fat ones, and the cheesy cock/smeggy fanny ones. I think Dr Christian is quite cool, at the same time as being a bit of a twat. I love how people have these conditions for years and years, but are too embarrassed to see their GP, but then are quite OK with flopping their flaps out on national telly. Bizarre.

Whilst on the subject of Reality TV I had the misfortune to see about 1/2 hour of Geordie Shore (I was at my sister-in-laws). Is this a real reflection of the denizens of Newcastle?

 

If it is then I would suggest "We take off and nuke the site from orbit, its the only way to be sure"

Josh Marks(26) a runnerup on the US version of Masterchef was found dead Friday night after committing suicide.

Joanne Borgella, former American Idol contestant and now a model, has cancer - http://atlantablackstar.com/2013/10/15/american-idol-alum-joanne-borgella-reveals-battle-cancer/. Seems a very decent pick in terms of age and illness - but I think obit chances might be too difficult.

[Guest Kel]

Does this count as  near death news?  According to the reputable newspaper Daily Mail,  DJ Pauly D of Jersey Shore fame urged his baby momma to have an abortion while she was pregnant.

Renee Rogers who competed alongside her husband, son and daughter on The Amazing Race: Family Edition has died of pancreatic cancer at 51.

Jen Arnold from 'Little Couple' has been diagnosed with "a rare type of cancer". Do dwarfs usually fare well against cancer?

Reality TV director James Marcus Howe is murdered in Los Angeles. He worked for several shows including America's Next Top Model, Cake Boss, and American Ninja Warrior.

[Spade_Cooley 9,515]

Very surprised to learn this... Vh1 reality star Ahmad Givens has stage IV colon cancer. He first appeared alongside his brother Kamal in the comedic Bachelor-style dating show 'I Love New York'. Vh1 then gave Ahmad and Kamal two seasons of their own spin-off dating show called 'Real Chance of Love'. (This is the same chain of half-reality dating shows that spawned 'Megan wants a Millionaire' featuring apparent killer Ryan Jenkins.)

Stage IV cancer no excuse for not hitting the weights.

[Estuarian Float 97]

UPDATE: Jen Arnold's cancer is stage 3 uterine. Shes having a hysterectomy.

 

http://hollywoodlife.com/2013/12/11/dr-jennifer-arnold-uterine-cancer-choriocarcinoma-hysterectomy-adopting-daughter/

 

So... Captain Chorizo! What does the reality tv thread have to offer to this year's DDP?

 

-Jen Arnold (Stage 3 Uterine Cancer)*

-Ahmad Givens (Stage 4 Colon Cancer, though he seems to be taking good care of himself)*

-Joanne Borgella (Cancer)**

-GinaMarie Zimmerman (Embarrassment? Seems to be resilient though)+

-Andy Herren (Word is he's become a chronic drinker since winning BB. Which brings up...)+

-Todd Herzog (Is currently in rehab for severe alcoholism)+

-Uncle Poodle (HIV)**

-Puck Rainey (Still getting into trouble)+

-Jerry MacDonald from Big Brother (long rumored to be ill)**

-Rudy Boesch (Is now 85, seems he can go longer but you never know)+

 

+ = obit guaranteed

* = obit questionable

** = obit very questionable

[CaptainChorizo 1,977]

I have no idea how likely or not her chances are of dying next year,but Jen Arnold would almost certainly get a Daily Mail Obit. Uncle Poodle probably would also scrape a Daily Mail obit but I think he could live many years now cause of the advancements in fighting HIV. The Big Brother people seem to be doing ok but it's usually years later once the support system and friendships from the show fade that they might be viable options for a deathpool. The best bet's for 2014 for reality show people who most likely will die and get the requisite obit imo are Rudy Boesch just cause of his age,Jael Strauss from Americas Next Top Model who is now a huge meth addict and Celebrity Rehab cast members like Shifty Shellshock,Chyna,Leif Garrett and Steven Adler . Jerry,Joanna and Ahmad seem like good bets to die next year but I would be shocked if any would yield points.

 

Not familiar with any UK reality shows but I know Jackie Stallone who is in her 90s had a heart attack early in the year and was on Celeb BB UK so I think that's another decent prospect for DDP.

[Estuarian Float 97]

Ahmad's kind of a toss up. He seems to have good health habits and a strong will to live which makes me think he'll beat it, though he may have already reached the point of no return having waited this long. He does look pretty healthy up in that picture, but I guess looks can deceive when youre young with cancer. Here's how Jenn Lyon looked a week before she died of cancer...

Ps... Something unrelated. Survivor: Australia's Michael Skupin has fallen over into a pot of hot water....

Givens is going in for some kind of operation around December 19th or so, so he's still at the point where they think it's worth trying to operate. Annoyingly, confirmation of success/fail won't come through until our teams are sent off.

[Death Impends 7,953]

I guess for those who aren't sure if the cancer is enough to warrant a deadpool spot can always hope for death by emu.

[Estuarian Float 97]

I was about to say it seems that GinaMarie Zimmerman may have partied too hard on New Years, but then I remembered that she doesn't drink alcohol. But anyway...

[CaptainChorizo 1,977]

I believe she had some kind of problems with bulimia in the past. Starting to think I should have put her on my 45 and under team.

Survivor/Celebrity Rehab star Jessica Kiper arrested for DWI. But she still had the humor to take a "selfie". Ray of hope? Plea for attention?
