Nuts for The Nooge!

By far the best gonzo reality show is the Outside Life Network's "Wanted: Ted or Alive" (by far the best title too!) with Ted Nugent. We thought the Motor City Madman could not out do the first season of the show, where we saw contestants spit on one another and Ted sexually harass all the female contestants - but we were underestimating him of course.

Just two episodes into this second season, we've already seen a half dozen chickens killed, gutted and filleted and the five so-called 'city slickers' (funny, because Ted lives mere miles from Detroit) haul wheelbarrows full of pig guts, heads and skins in some sort of race. Catch new episodes Sundays at 10 p.m. or a rerun tonight at 7 p.m. on OLN.

It's still not clear to me what I get out of watching this show. I don't understand the goal of the game to begin with -- I'm never going to find myself faced with 500lbs of pig waste; nor do I ever care to bow-hunt. Let's face it, the Nooge is really a has-been who never really was. Still, I'm totally addicted.

Interesting note: Flexing his international celebrity muscle (and not to be outdone by David Hasselhoff), The Nooge got Terry, a leggy German vixen, in the competition. Maybe reality game shows are different in Europe, but to this point, Terry has participated in only one of the six competitions. The other games she has raised some objection to, including that she does not play games on the Sabbath.... uh, no comment.
