Gone Crazy

Many, many years ago I was visting some people who lived in the mountains. We were quietly watching tv, but when "Green Acres" came on, they quickly turned the channel. They felt it made fun of people like that. Living in Idaho, I've been the victim of people having preconceived and unflattering ideas about. So, I have to ask myself what sort of audience "Outsider Inn" has. It seems like it gets more degrading each week.

Last night we had a honeymoon couple with strange wishes, including a rather disgusting menu for breakfast in bed. Then there was a convention on breeding farm animals, but it was made to seem early on, because of its strange title, that it was some sort of beastiality gathering. Our 'outsiders', Carnie, Maureen and Bobby, really don't come off much better. We got to watch Maureen and Carnie in a bath tub of lime Jello last night. That may have been the easiest scene to take.

In contrast, "Gone Country 2" was pretty good last night. As expected, Irene Cara is just gone. Sean Young apologized for her drunken crazies from the last episode and the others agreed to help her. She really doesn't seem like a threat to win the whole thing. The remaining five contestants are all giving it a good shot.

We got to hear them all sing at a prison. They were all good, although Lorenzo Lamas started in the wrong key. Mikalah Gordon got a lot of applause from the audience, but she was a pretty girl, so even if she hadn't sung well, they'd have liked her. The final song was sung by Chris Kirkpatrick. He'd ended up having to sing Patsy Cline's "Crazy" and was terrified he'd be laughed off the stage, if not worse.

He's really a good singer and the prisoners loved his performance. More and more he's the one I'm hoping will win. I really like his voice. I guess you could say I'm crazy for him.
