Fabio was not a good host, he sucked swamp water!

The whole premise of this show was that is was about cooking, but, it wasn't.

It was all about Marcel being an a**hole; the magical elves did this thing, and, then they expect us to believe that Marcel was so over the limit; and, should have expected what came to happen.

Well, thet's kissing swamp water; because, how much does it tell you, that Marcel was asleep; and, all the sudden, he found himself, asaualted by a big huge guy: and, found himself muching carpet, held down by a guy who weighs twice as much as he did.

And, Bravo treats this as a big joke, and, am. I offended, and, hey, Bravo; whatever you choose to venture into in the future is dead to me. I called up my cable company and, said, I never want to see this station again in my lifetime, and, they took it off.

Thank g-d, I never have to see Bravo again.

Years ago, I (somewhat jokingly) asked my cable company to remove Fox News from my channel line up and they said it was impossible and the best anyone could do to remove a channel they didn't want to see was to put in a parental block.

I think that person is lie-telling.

They should also do some research on the whole Marcel-head-shaving incident; it was staged by the producers.

So...did you put in a parental block against Fox?

Can you follow-up on that? I had heard rumblings about it, but never anything concrete, and I would love to know!

LOL...no, actually. Its location in the line-up is near channels I never watch anyway—CNBC and Headline News.

I'll go back to the TWoP forums and search for the episode thread. I think there were links at the time to a blogger who screencapped the episode and figured out it was all faked.

ETA: Here's a link about the incident, e c0li. Bravo faked the timeline of the incident. (I misstated the event as 'staged' - though I still believe the incident was -- Cliff just so happened to have a camera? - but that's my prejudice towards all so-called reality shows!)

God. I click on a thread this morning and YET AGAIN someone is diagnosing a socially-awkward television character with Asperger's. I had to close it before my eyeball exploded.

That is one thing that I really wish TPTB over there would ban. Because they do it all the damn time.

I don't know how to break it to most of the posters in the Criminal Minds thread that the characters are not real people.

[susyhomewrecker]

I don't know how to break it to most of the posters in the Duggar thread that the real people aren't characters. They're shipping Duggar children with other kids who have been seen on the show (family friends).

Oh, and they are also constantly diagnosing the kids with Asperger's as well.

*snort* So what's going on in that thread now? I haven't watched the latest episode yet so I've been staying away.

What does "kissing swamp water" mean? And can one really get a cable company to delete a single channel? If so, I think I've found the solution to all of GWOP's problems...

I read that post too and call bullshit on it. You can't delete a channel like BRAVO without canceling cable altogether. I have no idea what kissing swamp water means.

I think people on TWoP take things WAAAAYYYY to seriously, except shit they really should take seriously.

Yeah, sometimes the people in that thread are insane. And so over-protective of the characters.

I think I've postd once or twice in there, but I could never say my real opinions, because I suspect they may actually come after me.

It's impossible to follow because people post so much useless non-show related things, or just endless lists, and you end up with pages and pages of crap you have to skip over just to get to the show discussion.
