Donald Trump For Governor?

December 31, 2005 11:42:00 by Joe Blackmon

In Reality TV Magazine’s Wacky Reality TV Predictions for 2006, we predicted that Jonny Fairplay would run for Governor of the state of California.  At the time, we thought our prediction probably had little chance of coming true, but now there are rumors that a reality TV star will be running for Governor.  It’s just a different reality TV star on the opposite coast.  Rumors are now circulating that Donald Trump will run for Governor of New York.

Reality TV Magazine’s Wacky Reality TV Predictions for 2006

December 30, 2005 12:22:49 by Joe Blackmon

Nick Lachey and Paris Hilton get married?  Jonny Fairplay elected Governor?  CBS premieres Survivor Family Edition?  Randal fires Trump?  With 2005 drawing to a close, it is time for Reality TV Magazine to make our reality TV predictions for the Year 2006.  All of these predictions are completely fabricated, which means we made them up, so there is probably not even a remote possibility that any of this will ever happen.  Even with this blatant disclaimer, we expect at least a couple of out-of-touch TV journalists looking for a story to pick up our predictions and report on them as fact.   So without further ado, here are Reality TV Magazine’s wacky, made-up reality TV predictions for 2006.

VH1 To Present Web Junk 20

December 29, 2005 12:02:00 by Joe Blackmon

Have you seen the web clip of the police officer shooting himself in the foot while teaching a gun safety class at a local high school? Or the one where a local newscaster falls flat on her face while demonstrating how to make wine the old-fashion way? The internet has proven to be a double-edged sword. Not only is it the single-most important advancement for mankind and modern technology, it has made it a lot easier to watch video clips of celebrity slip-ups, animated satire, bloopers and every day people at their most outrageous.

Did Martha Stewart Pick The Wrong Apprentice?

December 28, 2005 12:14:42 by Joe Blackmon

When we watched The Apprentice Martha Stewart finale, we kept thinking that everything was leading up to Bethenny Frankel being hired.  Bethenny appeared to pull off the perfect event on her last task, while Dawna Stone had problems with the program for her event.  Martha Stewart also repeatedly questioned if Dawna had vision (which is something that is very important for an employee of Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia).

The Year 2005 proved to be another great year for reality TV.  Sure there were a fair share of notable reality TV flops during the year which brought out the standard media declarations of the death of reality TV, but there were also enough reality TV hits to prove that the reality TV genre of television isn’t going away any time soon.  The fact is there will always be reality TV shows just like there will always be situation comedy shows.

Reality TV Magazine’s Top Ten Reality TV Stars Of 2005

December 25, 2005 12:01:00 by Joe Blackmon

The Year 2005 continued to blur the line between celebrity and reality TV star, which has led Reality TV Magazine to develop three distinctly separate Top Ten Reality Stars of 2005 lists.  The first two lists are for the male and female reality TV stars that most people had never heard of before reality TV made them famous.  The third list is for celebrities that were already famous but became involved in reality TV to revive their careers, get a huge paycheck, or just for the fun of it.  We also included reality TV show judges and hosts in our celebrity list.

Bo Bice The Real Thing Review

December 23, 2005 12:03:00 by Joe Blackmon

Bo Bice’s "The Real Thing" CD has now been out in stores for over a week and has been getting mixed reviews from critics.  E! Online called the CD “real dull,” while the Philadelphia Inquirer says it “ranks right behind Kelly Clarkson’s Breakaway as the best CD to date by an Idol alum.”  My advice to hard core Bo Bice fans is don’t even think about buying the CD.  Instead buy the Dual Disc.  The Dual Disc is worth the extra money a thousand times over.
