I KNEW these things weren't legit!

---------------------

You know, I just found out that Restaurant Stakeout and that other hidden camera show on Food Network are staged, too.  So its been a rough week for our illusions all around I guess.

Comments

  1. The day I learned Pawn Stars is (mostly) staged is the day my world came crashing down. I still enjoy it but have to watch Antiques Roadshow if I want the real stuff.

  2. If I'm WWE I'm distressed that less than a thousand people gave enough of a shit to tweet.

    ReplyDelete
  3. The Stakeout show is laughably staged. Just an awful, awful show.


    It's getting a lot harder to watch Food Network at all over the past few years, and that's pretty much the only channel that I've ever watched in a decade (RAW notwithstanding.)

    ReplyDelete
  4. I found this to be particularly odd. During the whole Cyber Sunday/Taboo Tuesday era, EVERYONE (from current stars, to former stars, to former execs, to former writers) insisted that the voting was legitimate. And now, they've put so much emphasis (especially when Raw moved to 3 hours) on this RawActive thing. So why fake it? Why even bother, instead of just making Kane vs. Punk?

    ReplyDelete
  5. That has to be rather embarassing. You have roughly 4 million viewers and about .00025 percent of them actually tweet in for Raw Active.

    ReplyDelete
  6. Yeah, Food Network has the fakiest shows right now. Restaurant Stakeout is so damn obvious too, sad really. I miss Good Eats.

    ReplyDelete
  7. Poor WWE: this seems to be the only election they can rig.

    ReplyDelete
  8. You shut your whore mouth! RICK'S STILL REAL TO ME, DAMMIT.

    ReplyDelete
  9. 0.00025% of 4 million viewers would be 10 people. #mathfail

    ReplyDelete
  10. I want to like this 1,000 times.

    ReplyDelete
  11. I can't believe a wrestling company would lie to us like that.

    ReplyDelete
  12. Could be worse. At least he didn't spend $50 million to lose the hashtag contest!

    ReplyDelete
  13. Can we get the university geeks to start making "Free D-Bry 2012" trendy signs to further the belated cause of rescuing this endangered species?

    ReplyDelete
  14. When it comes crashing down and it hurts inside, you gotta be man. It don't help to hide.

    ReplyDelete
  15. Yeah that was a good one.


    I miss Mario too.


    And just in general seeing instructional shows in the evenings.

    ReplyDelete
  16. Mario is/was the shit. I haven't enjoyed Iron Chef America as much since he left. Speaking of another annoying trend, do we really need a new Iron Chef every 6 months? What the hell?

    ReplyDelete
  17. Thanks to Scott, I drop that line about every day. I'm gonna get fired.

    ReplyDelete
  18. You beat me to that line. 900+ people out of 4 million

  19. Didn't you feel more compelled to read the review knowing that in five paragraphs you'd find out who was chosen?

    ReplyDelete
  20. So, If I am crunching the numbers right, each blue state was leading the poll 9-7??

    ReplyDelete
  21. And as usual, the media fails to read the fine print, such as this from hashtagbattle.com:

    "Which tweets count?

    We only count the Twitter hashtags that are significant and valid.
    Significant (to us) means a tweet that’s been retweeted or contains a
    link. Valid means we’ve removed any bots or spammy sources"


    They are not counting _all_ hashtags. In fact, their count is only a very small subset that is not indicitive of the whole. So this proves nothing.

    ReplyDelete
  22. Please stop repossessing cars in the daylight.

    ReplyDelete
  23. No, we do not. And it annoys me.


    Forgione has a losing record, and Zakarian I think is barely over .500 too. Doesn't exactly scream elite level.

    ReplyDelete
  24. In other news the sky is blue. Now to peter with the weather.

    ReplyDelete
  25. WHO DARES DOWNVOTE PROPER ARITHMETIC???

    ReplyDelete
  26. Are there any legit reality shows anyway? COPS?

    ReplyDelete
  27. I finally got a chance to watch the shield interview and I think you guys are out of your minds. Reigns is clearly the star. Rollins is midcard. Ambrose is a weird looking guy that gets released.

    ReplyDelete
  28. The Ultimate Fighter is mostly clean. They air the "house drama" out of order occasionally but they don't have the producers order them to do stupid stuff. They engineer drama the old fashioned way; they cast emotionally disturbed manchildren and give them free alcohol. It's had about a 60% success rate so far.


    The best proof for how not rigged that show is, is how awful this season was. I can imagine Dana White considering taking an entire bottle of pills after that thing finished taping.

    ReplyDelete
  29. I am shocked that you have this opinion.

    ReplyDelete
  30. OKAY YA GOT ME!!!

    ReplyDelete
  31. Windows calculator lies then! Blasted Microsoft product...

    ReplyDelete
  32. actually I can attest that cars are in fact repoed in the daylight. Seen it myself.

    ReplyDelete
  33. You know who else was a "weird" looking guy who's awesome on the mic? CM Punk.


    You may think Ambrose is weird looking, whatever that means in the context of professional wrestling, but can you honestly think he can't deliver a believable promo? Last night was proof enough that he can.



    I like Reigns too, agreed there.

    ReplyDelete
  34. Dougie was pouting last week that CM Punk has been a champion for over a year while being up there with people who drew money. He's a contrarian for contrarian's sake.

    ReplyDelete
  35. Just going on first impressions.

    ReplyDelete
  36. I pretty much just watch Chopped now on Food Network. Fixed or not, I get a kick out of the throwed-off basket ingrediants. 'Your mystery ingrediants are...Cheetohs...Brown Ale...Bok Choy...Ass of Rooster. You have fifteen minutes...GO'

    ReplyDelete
  37. I used pickled yak anus in the other thread.. So I get where you're coming from.

    ReplyDelete
  38. Fair enough, so am I. I have been hearing about John Moxley/Dean Ambrose from some of these posters forever and I decided not to search out youtube stuff and just wait and see what he has to offer when he got called up. I was really impressed by his delivery on his promo. You weren't. That's ok, but to say he's going to get cut because he looks "weird" on a show featuring The Great Kahli and Hornswaggle s not a normal comment from you. You're a bit too smart for that, unless you were going out of your way to elicit a response. You would never do that.... :-)

    ReplyDelete
  39. He's not a midget or a giant. Right now, he's Deuce.

    ReplyDelete
  40. 1000 people is 0.00025th (or 1/4000th) of 4,000,000. Percentages are an additional 100 times higher, as 100% is the total sum of a number.


    Walking down by factors of ten from a more easily understandable 25%:



    25% of 4,000,000 is 1,000,000 (one fourth, 1/4th)

    2.5% of 4,000,000 is 100,000
    0.25% of 4,000,000 is 10,000
    0.025% of 4,000,000 is 1,000 (what you were thinking of)
    0.0025% of 4,000,000 is 100
    0.00025% of 4,000,000 is 10 (what you actually said)



    So I think it's more likely you were misinterpreting than your calculator being wrong.

    ReplyDelete
  41. Nothing that's not a 24/7 live feed is completely legit. Everything else is edited according to the bias of the staff.

    ReplyDelete
  42. Savage was a way bigger star. That's just a fact.

    ReplyDelete
  43. Which means nothing.

    ReplyDelete
  44. In tonight's new episode, lamb testicles (excuse me...'lamb fries') were an ingredient. A repeat earlier had celery soda...

    ReplyDelete
  45. Not to you apparently. Just the rest of the world.

    ReplyDelete
  46. I wish this sentence made any sense. I'll let you have another crack at it. Proceed.

    ReplyDelete
  47. It's not my responsibility to educate the ignorant. Find a third grader to explain it to you.

    ReplyDelete
  48. When I find him I'll point him in your direction. Maybe he can explain to you how to make arguments that are actually coherent. For example, I said you were being a baby because CM Punk was up there as champion as long as some of the biggest stars in wrestling. Kind of weird, but whatever.


    Your response is to write something about Randy Savage being a bigger star. Indisputable, but what that has to do with CM Punk being champion for 53 weeks is lost on anyone with functioning brain cells.


    Then when I rightly call it for the irrelevant, ridiculous BS that it is, you say it means something to the rest of the world. What Savage being one of the biggest pro wrestlers ever has to do with Punk being champion for 53 weeks is, again, lost on anyone with the aforementioned brain cells.

    ReplyDelete
  49. Perfect 10! Dougie you are amazing.

    ReplyDelete
  50. Lulz u got trolled

    ReplyDelete
  51. I feel bad that you're so threatened by me.

    ReplyDelete
  52. seriously that is such an epic and beautiful troll of this blog I had to upvote it.

    ReplyDelete
  53. Dougiechised!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    ReplyDelete
  54. Oh jobber. When will you accept that other people are allowed to have opinions?

    ReplyDelete
  55. Lol dougie I tip my cap to you. That moxley line is hof level trolling and it made me laugh my ass off. I kinda enjoy your gimmick bro, you do it well.

    ReplyDelete
  56. You guys are probably right. When you see a three man power bomb, it's usually one of the two guys helping that gets the big push, not the guy delivering the power bomb.

    ReplyDelete
  57. I felt like I had to dig a little with Dougie. I do it every now and again to see if he's fishing or being legit.

    ReplyDelete
  58. Phew, at least he's not Domino

    ReplyDelete
  59. I don't care that that show is even the least bit staged, why? Because its entertaining, informative, and cause explosions. The worst culprit is those stupid fucking tow truck shows. OMG the tow truck guy is being shot at by a German Panzer tank driven by Mork from Ork, this must be truths!!

    ReplyDelete
  60. Bryan and AJ themselves tweeted about the fact that Bryan lost the poll, perhaps they're making a storyline out of it? Or WWE really doesn't want fans to vote for Daniel Bryan.

    ReplyDelete
  61. No need to miss me you guys, I'm right here.


    Oh, you meant the chef...

    ReplyDelete
  62. Why does it have to be a boy? Such sexist assumptions are not tolerated on the Blog of Doom!

    ReplyDelete
  63. THERE ARE *FOUR* LIGHTS!

    ReplyDelete
  64. They're ALL smaller, vanilla Kevin Nashes. Reigns has a little vanilla swirl in him, so he might get a Tensai push out of this.

    ReplyDelete
  65. All of the endless Twitter bullshit we have to put up and they can't even get 1,000 people... sorry... 1,000 Members of the WWE Universe™ to vote on this shit? Dear God.

    ReplyDelete
  66. Ambrose's facial expressions and weird tics are off the map. I haven't seen anybody on the roster right that can do that type of stuff.

    ReplyDelete
  67. Looks like a work to build the Kane-Bryan story line...maybe im giving them too much credit...

    ReplyDelete
  68. 408 people need their heads checked.

    ReplyDelete
  69. Whitney Houston was a nice touch.

    ReplyDelete
  70. The fact that a lot of you guys actively watch the Food Network is like "...what the fuck?" to me...


    No foolies... Im just like baffled...


    i didnt even know there was a food network til like a year ago.

    ReplyDelete
  71. Knowing how to cook impresses the ladies from my experiences, so yeah...start watching.

    ReplyDelete
  72. It's a shame isn't it?

    ReplyDelete
  73. Or you know, the guy that gets the most mic time.


    How many words did Reigns speak again?

    ReplyDelete
  74. but i know how to cook... right within my heterosexual limits...

    ReplyDelete
  75. It doesn't matter the amount of words, it matters the amount of impact. Reigns had more impact. Watch and see.

    ReplyDelete
  76. I've never watched a minute of the Food Network, but I grew up in an Italian family.


    Boom.

    ReplyDelete
  77. Reigns came off like Manu did during the early days of Legacy. Except no lisp.

    ReplyDelete
  78. Manu never decided when interviews were over.

    ReplyDelete
  79. Maybe people are finally realizing that Twitter is fucking stupid...

    ReplyDelete
  80. I thought that Shield promo was ass, from everybody. I know Ambrose can cut good promos, as I've seen them, but people here are letting their Moxley love blind them. He was stilted and wooden as an infomercial actor in that promo.

    ReplyDelete
  81. Ultimate Fighter hasn't been worth a crap since Season 10. The house drama is so forced and so awful.


    Just show training. Or replace TUF with Primetime specials. Anything.

    ReplyDelete
  82. Last season of TUF was OK. The wrong guy won but he had a super babyface story with his Dad dying during the filming of the show so at least they get a feel good moment out of everything. I rarely get sucked into that kind of thing but I was cheering my ass off for that kid at the finale. The live format really helped out also even if it was hell for FX and DVRs everywhere.

    TUF's problem is that MMA in the US has changed. The guys on the first 3 to 6 to TUFs were good fighters, some of whom were legitimately insane so it made good TV. These days if you've had a handful of pro fights and look like you might be halfway decent you're already in some kind of organization so all TUF has left is a bunch of crazy guys with 1 or 2 fighters who might turn out to be a top 10 guy in their division. Maybe. If they get lucky.

    For reference look at the TUF variants airing in other countries. Since there is so much more untapped talent it's actually still interesting there.

    ReplyDelete
  83. Kane=that guy needs to be protected and made to look like a threat
    Bryan=Bury that goat faced fucker
    My response=Fuck this company

    ReplyDelete
  84. fewer than a thousand tweets. give up on the social experiment, please.

    ReplyDelete
  85. Not even close to the same thing. Invite her over, have some stuff cooking, glass/bottle of wine, nice table set up...guaranteed lay.
