Subject: Just when you thought TV couldn't get any worse...

Written By: 80sRocked on 02/13/03 at 06:29 p.m.

...along came "Are You Hot?"


I just tuned in to this ABC show to see what it was, and after just 5 minutes I already want to puke in disgust.

Wow, I know some people are vain, but this is ridiculous!

Is this like a beauty contest, or a dating contest based on who the guy thinks is hottest?  ???

its like American Idol without the singing.  Tons of contestants from different cities trying to impress 3 obnoxious judges(Lorenzo Lamas is one).  And the prize is being crowned :"The Sexiest Person in America".

And beleive me, some of these morons have so much self-love, and vanity, its nausiating.  I knew some people like that in school, for some reason, nobody ever liked them, but themselves of course. ;)

If you want to see sexy people from Seattle check this site out (don't worry, it's clean) from a weekly paper we have called the Stranger it's an intersting publication.

It sounds ridiculous, not like something I would want to watch. Looks may have some importance, but there has to be some substance to back that up. But then, Sexy, to me, rarely has much to do with whether a person has abs of steel and a tan. I'll put it like my little sister says, "If he is ripped, but nothing is going on upstairs, throw him back." ;D ;D ;D

Couldn't have said it better myself.

...ain't that the understatement of the century! ;)

I'm anxious to see the ratings for this trash.  As usual, it will probably get huge ratings, and become popular like all the other tashy shows on TV nowadays.

The judges for that show are "has-beens", on top of it all.

Looooosers.

Trash TV taken to new lows.

I find  it hilarious that they reffered to Lorenzo Lamas as an "International Heartthrob". Isn't he more like "The king of straight to home video"?

As for the opinion of the female judge (I don't remember her name), how is anyone going to take her opinion seriously? We all know what she thinks is a sexy man (We're all looking at you Rod).

The one good thing about these types of shows is that i've been doing a lot more reading.

LOS ANGELES, California (AP) -- Another reality show aimed at milking romance for ratings asks the question, "Who Wants to Marry My Mom?"

Five episodes of the NBC series, which the network said was inspired by an upcoming "Meet My Folks" special, will air in late spring. No specific air date was announced.

"The idea of kids choosing which mate is best for their single mom just seemed like a fun, natural extension of 'Meet My Folks,' " NBC executive Jeff Gaspin said Thursday.

"Meet My Folks" lets parents judge suitable dates for their children. A March 10 edition, "Meet My Kids," turns the tables by giving three adult sons the chance to pick their mom's companion for a Hawaiian vacation.

In "Who Wants to Marry My Mom?" the adult offspring of a single mother will decide which of several suitors will win the chance to vacation with their parent.

That's it, I can die anytime now and not feel bad about leaving early.  This is crap, that's crap, it's all crap!
What's next, "Who wants to Bone my Grandmother"?  An extended family puts a "sexy senior" through grueling physical acts that includes standing up from a sitting position, ascending stairs with a "walker" and driving at least the posted speed limit in an urban setting.  ::)

Thats true.  I couldn't beleive he would be so desperate for work as to subject himself to this.  And the way he talked to some of the losers on the show made him sound/look like a sleazy pervert.  

He reminded me of an old nasty smelly guy trying to pick up a young woman in a bar.

I said the same thing to my girlfriend, and she thinks that he must be doing this just so he can scrape together some scratch for his nasty divorce.

Thanks 80's Rocked,
Lorenzo was gross, the little bit that I saw p'd me off.  There was a pretty woman in Bikini and he shined a lazer pointer to her crotch and said that there should be no gap between here thighs!  It was embarassing and repulsive, that's when I switched the channel.  Lorenzo may be trying to out jerky that jerk on  that other stupid show, he's just not as clever.

And Apple, you have a great point there, I find women over 30 can be very sexy, but it was funny the way he phrased it.

I didn't watch the "Sexy show" but I DID watch the new Survivor.  What the h3ll were the idiot producers thinking when they decided to make it a Battle of the Sexes contest?  Did anyone else watch it?

I thought it was kinda funny that the women won the first immunity challenge after the guys were saying how they were going to kick their butts! ;D

I also didn't watch the Sexy show.  Mostly because I live around people like that, I have no desire to watch them on TV, too.

Just for the record:

I don't watch Survivor.  But unless the women's team is full of witches and banshees (personality-wise, mind you), I hope they win.  That'll put the male chauvinists in their place :D

I am a Survivor addict so I watched.  I love the division of teams.  Especially since the guys were so "Macho" constantly talking about how they would win everything.  Then the one saying that the girls were probably crying at their camp.  Then the girls won...I loved watching the last two guys try to make it past the balance beam. ;D
