I'm still recovering from Friday night on CMT. As much as I hate to give up on things, I just can't watch "Outsiders Inn" any longer. If they had made it an actual sitcom with well-scripted humor I might have liked it. Instead, it hovered somewhere between real and entertaining, ending up being neither.
On the other hand I really liked "Gone Country 2". It's nice to see a program where contestants aren't eliminated. I suppose "Celebrity Fit Club" is that way, too. In both cases, there seem to be drop outs, though, like Irene Cara this season of the country music boot camp.
While I didn't see a whole lot of point in sending the singer/songwriter celebrities to a farm to learn roping and pig wrestling, the segment was tolerable. What I really liked was them having to judge an amateur night talent contest using the same criteria by which they will be judged. It's the sort of thing we urged trainers to do when I was writing curriculum at work.
I'm looking forward to seeing the celebrities perform more and to having them work on their own songs. One of the most interesting things last season was seeing the things that people sang about that were drawn from their own lives. I thought Maureen McCormick's song was particularly touching. Which is part of why I am so disappointed with "Outsiders Inn".
