Reality Does Bite

"Shear Genius" isn't the only show having its finale next week. Of the shows I watch, "Reality Bites Back" is also down to its final three. Once again, I got the feeling that the eliminee didn't mind having to leave that crazy show.

Last night's spoof was "Hunting with the Stars". The four remaining contestants were teamed up with celebrities. There were Chyna Doll who apparently never says no to an offer, Leif Garrett who may not be able to turn down any offer and Kato Kaelin who seems to be willing to do anything to get on camera. The one unexpected celebrity was Susan Olsen, previously a Brady girl. While she's done a few Brady-related things, like "Weakest Link" and "Family Feud" the only reality show I'd seen her on was as a guest at the "My Fair Brady" wedding. Maybe that experience made her willing to take the plunge. Or perhaps it was Maureen McCormick's success on "Celebrity Fit Club" and "Gone Country".

Barry Williams and Mike Lookinland were also at the wedding, though Mike hasn't gotten into reality tv, the closest game shows like "Weakest Link". Barry has popped up in all sorts of things such as "Celebrity Boxing" and "Fear Factor", including brief appearances on "Dr. Drew's Celebrity Rehab" and "The Surreal Life". Even Mama Brady, Florence Henderson has been on "My Fair Brady" and "The Surreal Life". Eve Plumb has stayed out of the limelight, although she was one of the 'strangers' on "Identity". That is sort of sad in itself.

Back to "Hunting With The Stars". Amy Schumer was teamed with Leif Garrett, Mo Mandel with Susan Olsen, Theo Von with Kato Kaelin and Chris Fairbanks with Chyna Doll. Let's just say that amazonian Chyna made for an easy target and Chris was a crummy shot. The combination resulted in Chris being the one to say goodbye at the end of the episode.

Next week, "The Amazing Disgrace". While it parodies as certain race show, the name probably describes the feelings most of the participants about being on the show.
