A Bachelorette Contestant Who's Really An Actor? Why I NEVER! - TVgasm

I used to be a big Scrubs fan. In fact, I still am. The thing is, it's always been on against other shows I like more: 24, Survivor, Amazing Race, etc. For three years, I was kept away from my beloved Scrubs (okay, I don't like it that much. I'm trying to be dramatic here though). Luckily, with TVgasm's lovely dual-tuner Tivo, conflicts are for the most part a thing of the past. So it was with great joy that I sat down to take in my first episode of Scrubs since mid 2002. Yes, finally I could sink my teeth into a funny, scripted show and not think of all that other trash I watch or observe.

So what should happen on the one time I tune in? My favorite of occurrences: a reality star extra. Yes, in last night's repeat episode of Scrubs, none other than Bachelorette contestant Ryan Sheaffer popped up as one of Turk's buddies.

"But wait!" you may say (if you are so inclined to be drawn into such stupid scandals). "Isn't Ryan a teacher?"

According to his ABC Bio, yes. But seeing him on screen once again proves that these dating shows are nothing but staged circuses filled with aspiring actors, recycled reality stars, and the occasional gay man. Hmmm... I guess that's really not that earth-shattering. Even so, can ABC even TRY to screen their bachelors? This is getting ridiculous.

Apologies for the grainy screenshots. The scene was poorly lit.

Scrubs is one of the funniest shows on tv, but I agree that it can be difficult to choose between shows when the networks put their best and brightest up against each other. Thank God (or all those engineers who were teased in school but have now managed to make themselves quite useful) for TiVo!

But let us please take a moment to observe that despite bad extras, scrubs is still an awesome show!!!

You are sooo haunted by the Bachelorette!!

"holy shizzle" says Tana! I was just watching a rerun of "Girlfriends" tonight and I saw RYAN sitting behind William's boss in the little coffee shop! He was sipping a cup of tea, and then later, when William freaked out, he was up at the counter and turned around to see why William freaked. Madness!!

In this weeks US Weekly magazine, Jen said that she didn't accept Jerry's proposal because he was only on 'The Bachelorette' because he wanted to be an actor. Keep your eyes pealed for Jerry as an extra in any 'Scrubs' episodes also.

All hail the dual input TIVO.

Dual input. tee hee.

A bit of trivia:

Donald Faison *loves* interrupting conversations while waiting in line for breakfast.

If the NY Giants ever traded away Tiki Barber for Ahman Green, Donald Faison would NOT approve.
