   Please, no, these two just can’t be back in the news. It’s bad enough that the Kartrashians will never go away but Speidi is back!! Maybe the UK will keep them.

   Well, here’s an *UPDATE* for you. A BB-UK insider says it’s no surprise that Spencer and Heidi weren’t evicted the 1st week. They were paid $500,000 to be in the house. That’s what a BB winner gets here in the US, but they’re not “celebrities” like Speidi. Now I’m wondering what they were offering Lindsey Lohan?

   $500,000 is not bad. Maybe I shouldn’t admit this, but I watched the first three episodes, and I didn’t find them all that repugnant. I like them a lot better than Brendon and Rachel.

   I can’t believe Speidi warrants that kind of paycheck. The producers just handed them another week in the house, and likely some sympathy votes from the Brits since they watched the houseguests trash talk them a bit. Though I was actually surprised at how soft the thrashing was.

   I love the poncey Irish host guy. He is over the top cheesey, but so much more fun than the arid wasteland that is the Chenbot’s commentary.

   On a barely related note… Is anyone else watching The Joe Schmoe Show? It’s a little cruel and ridiculously hilarious. Lorenzo Lamas is a revelation as a parody of himself. All of the characters are pretty outrageous and the dialogue is nuts.

   @awfuleyebrow-I’m totally watching the Joe Schmo Show! First time ever and I almost didn’t check it out cuz I thought I’d hate it but I seriously lol’d! It’s so ridiculous and yet I was cracking up. I was wondering if anyone else around here was watching it

   Niknak- you should check out the two older seasons if you get a chance. They were both fun and you will likely recognize a few of the castmembers. The first season was a spoof on a Big Brother type show, and the second was a dating show spoof. I liked the first one best, but in the second one the faux smarmy British host had a falconer named Montecore as his co-host, so that was pretty fun. In the second season, which was at least 5 years ago, the first mark wasn’t fooled for long so they had to get a new mark and reconfigured the show. The original mark stayed on as part of the cast.

   It’s too bad that this show isn’t covered here. It seems tailor made for this site.

   Oops, autocorrect added an ‘er’ to my falcon.

   @awfuleyebrow-I did look at the past seasons on IMDB and am very interested in watching them! This show is so ridiculous and funny! Once I saw the very 1st episode I immediately hoped it’d be capped here, this is the perfect site for this show! Thanks for filling me in and I’m glad someone else from around here is watching with me
