Here’s the reality TV roundup for this week, exclusive to Blogathon readers:
* NBC is joining Fox in the reality contestant recast started with Love Cruise’s Toni reappearing on Paradise Hotel. This time it’s Meet My Folks that’s churning out stars with onetime suitor Eric Ferch now on For Love Or Money 2, and the girl that failed to select him, Melana Scantlin, getting her own fall show titled Average Joe. This program, hosted by the eternally unfunny Kathy Griffin, will surround an attractive women with nerdy, ugly men in yet another variant on a dating show.
* Joe Millionaire 2 begins Monday, October 20th with butler Paul reprising his role as pyschiatrist/alcoholic.
* They’re dragging Last Comic Standing out – this Tuesday won’t be the finale. Instead, the results of the comedy face-off will be revealed in a two-hour season finale on August 5th.
Cheers!
