Take a look at the TV screen behind my plate of food. It's a shot of one of the suitors on Bravo's "Date My Ex: Slade and Jo" (or "Jo & Slade: Date My Ex"). There are few people with my appetite for bad television - I used to liveblog "Extreme Makeover" for God's sake - but this is almost pathetic in a way I almost can't accept.
The stud farm is out of central casting (the shy quiet guy, the personal trainer, the schmaltzy Beverly Hills talent agent), her ex-fiance's eyes are close together to the point where it's distracting, and there are fireplaces. In LA! This is to say nothing of the "best friend" with the spontaneously occurring British voice. And the theme song, Jo's single, "You Can't Control Me." OOH! Irony! Because, like, you know it's her EX who is trying to CONTROL her love life.
Anyway, the only way to get through the show was with more of the Mano A Mano from last night, chicken parm and garlic bread (it was white trash garlic bread from Aldi - the kind that comes in the foil wrapper, pre-smeared with fixins). And let me tell you, it was RAD.
