It took them 11 minutes and 40 seconds to mention Bonnie McFarlane‘s absence. They hadda. When Screaming Jay Mohr did eventually address the situation, they used it as an opportunity to welcome the substitute, Jessica Kirson, the hyperactive New Yorker. The confusing melange of rules and regs for the Season III format is headache-inducing and not important. It will result in the winning team splitting $50,000. I think. Or maybe $50,000 each week. It’s all very sad. Couldn’t they have foreseen that America would want to see a new set of 10? Couldn’t they have planned for a third season?
It’s taking on many of the characteristics of pro wrestling now. And not nearly as entertaining and without all the fake blood. (That would be your sarcasm.) Huh? The rest are performing tomorrow night? Did Jay Mohr just say that? (Please don’t post at the end of this with an explanation of the rules. We’re not interested in understanding them.) We’re sure the rules will lose their mystery as the eight-week run goes on.
Did they intentionally choose a sub for Bonnie that was the polar opposite of Bonnie? Did they employ some sort of formula? And couldn’t they have found someone who can tell time? Like someone who knows how long two minutes is? They turn off the mike after two minutes… literally turn it off! It’s all such a sorry spectacle. Maybe it will improve. Stay tuned. Maybe we’re just tired.
Does he hafta call it “the battle of the best?” We’re cranky. I’m sure we’ll happy up in subsequent episodes.
