hnpccOk, I admit it, I'm addicted.
I watched "Love Cruise" for the first time last night. It's bad "reality" television. I'm not sure how many people they started off with, but last night they were down to 10 people, 8 by the end of the show. It's got tacky "pairing" ceremonies. It's got bad elimination scenes. It's got loads of very American (culturally I mean, all the contestants are American!) self-analysis and motivational speeches. In short, it's a cheap man's version of a cross between "Temptation Island" and "Survivor".
I love it.
The main reason is Michael (30 year old lawyer). He has the worst haircut I've seen since the early 90s. He looks better with a hat on for crying out loud. Physically he's not the world's best looking man either - he looks like your average not-getting-to-the-gym-as-often-as-he-should-be 30 year old lawyer in fact. (Dunno what he's like in suits, only seen him in leisurewear this far.)
But geez he gives good television. He's articulate. He's bitchy. He's reasonably honest with the cameras.. and not with his fellow cruisemates. And he's got a plan. He's nicer than Richard Hatch off "Survivor 1", but still enough of a bastard for you to hope that something goes really askew with the plan.
At the same time as you're hoping it doesn't.
Anyway. Add this to my list of bad television that I've fallen in love with. Oh the shame... :-)
