Friday, February 06, 2004 ( 1:10 PM ) Lostcheerio I cannot enjoy Average Joe II: Hawaii anymore. It's seeming sicker and sicker to me as it progresses. For some reason, Melana of the original Average Joe made it seem like she was genuinely participating in the experience. When she kissed one of the Joes, it seemed either sweet and friend-ish or actually a kiss. Also, the original Joes weren't as malignantly repulsive as the Joes on the second season. They were actually average. The Joes this time around are horrifying. And it's not just a fat/ugly thing -- who cares about that. It's a palpable creepiness that most of them exude -- the kind of guy you wouldn't want to be alone with. The only guy from the first season that gave me that vibe was Brad, or as we called him, "The Cannibal." This time around we have Larissa, who is probably twice as intelligent as Melana and therefore 10 times more self-aware and therefore apparently incapable of letting go of the "hostess" persona. She doesn't seem like she's there for a reality dating show. She's there to appear on television and perform certain tasks, one of which is being extremely polite to a bunch of idiot cousins who happen to be on the same show. The Joes are so freakish and alarming that Larissa seems to be doling out "make-out" sessions like hugs at the Special Olympics. It's DISTURBING. She's making out with them like she's giving special treats to the warty puppies. EW. And then the "hunks" show up -- SURPRISE! They're all completely GAY. And I don't mean I'm saying their effeminate or sensitive I mean they are actual homosexuals. So what are the choices for Larissa? The "Wow, you're a person! Good job!" Average Joes or the "I am completely gay, gayer than gay, the gayest, the ultimate gay" Gay Hunks. Best to just look away. # |
