REALITY BYTES

The 2 Coreys is exactly the reality show, that makes you squirm; because this is real. You can’t fabricate this slice of life, without falling into, kissing your sorry ass; Goodbye.

As this A&E production, progresses; you could never get another shot at it, if you had tried to fabricate The 2 Coreys. Unfortunately for everyone, this sad tale is as real as life can get. Hopefully, this ending will be one, without either Corey losing themselves, in this fine mess, they have found themselves in front of.

This is the original trailer for “Lost Boys”. It’s the beginning of the real, 2 Coreys; where everything started. From here, everything between Feldman and Haim took on a life of its own. Some are calling this, “The Corey Curse”.

Imagine for a moment, you had that “best” old friend. The two of you went on to become the Coreys of the 80s, as teen, heart throbs. You were almost twins, in that; you could finish each others sentences, because that was how close you both had become to each other. Could either of you put this song to rest?

This is the story of The 2 Coreys. It is a difficult story to put into any other context, other than; need. We have all had friends, we could not put to rest.

Corey Feldman had a new life, a new wife; and life moves on. Enter, stage three: Suddenly, Corey Haim reappears, like some long lost brother, a relative Corey that will not be laid to rest.

The 2 Coreys of season 2 is now underway. There are some solid issues that come out in this video clip. It seems to bind them, in something larger than just a friendship.

One the one hand, there is Feldman. Married, a family man kind of guy. He’s trying to do the right thing. His wife is a knockout punch, by anyone’s standards; and Feldman is a good guy, with a heart as big as Lost Boy can be.

The real irony is, Cory Haim is the real lost boy. He’s an addict, he’s lonely and will probably end up dead, sooner, than later; if Feldman can’t fix a few things in their relationship.

The 2 Coreys is a very real, reality. There is no middle ground played out in this unscripted, script. Both of these Coreys are tied to the hip. Feldman’s wife knows this, as well as everyone else in this show. This is a Steven King novel, in the process.

As conflicted as the 2 Coreys are with each other, they both seem to have a lot of unfinished business. If they don’t patch things up between themselves, it would seem as if, they are both damned as the real “Lost Boys”.

Corey Haim is certainly fighting some heavy demons. Will Corey Feldman be able to help out his soulmate buddy and still fight his own, in this battle for life?

They are brothers, from different mothers. These 2 Coreys are in a fight for survival and everything else, between them.

The 2 Coreys is an A&E production that shows at 10PM, Sundays. Check with your local cable schedule for missed show times and up and coming episodes.

This week, the guys get to let their hair down and talk about how they feel and what has been going on, inside their heads, with regard to The Bachelorette and DeAnna. Will Graham have anything to say?

The Internet is absolutely loaded with tributes to Graham. The Bachelorette is a prime time reality competition. DeAnna Pappas is playing the game as The Bachelorette, by the rules; as much as she can. What sets this particular season apart from others is, DeAnna fell in love, then did not know what to do with this.

Let’s have a recap moment. This is the last scene from last week that we got to see DeAnna and Graham together.

Is it really fair to ask anyone to be a part of a major reality show, fall in love, then get married at the end of the show; to someone you need to get to know, intimately more before taking those vows?

I know many fans of The Bachelorette are into this for the game. Why not? This is what the show is really all about. A fairy tale romance, that is more fantasy, then reality. Root for your favorite contestant, etc. Except, this season of The Bachelorette took a few turns, no one really counted on. She really fell in love.

Who knows where things might have led in the real world, had Graham and DeAnna met; without a lot of cameras in their face? What we do know is, there was an instant attraction between both of them, that can’t be denied. You don’t see this happen in reality shows this often; not like this season of The Bachelorette.

So, DeAnna kicked into a higher gear and wanted the only guy that she had feelings for, to step up his pace. The problem was, Graham seemed shy and reserved. He could not give this show, or DeAnna the winning shot; to win the game. Maybe it was too much pressure? We will never know, what could have been. Not now. After all, it’s a reality show and has rules that need to be abided by.

What it looks like now is, DeAnna and The Bachelorette show, will have to keep plugging along for a conclusion, until someone else wins her as his bride? Sorry, this does not compute. It looks like DeAnna will now be going through some very determined moves to pick “that guy”, as a door prize.

So far, on The Bachelorette, we know what we have seen. If the other bachelors saw even half of what we did, would they still really want to marry DeAnna at the end of this show?

Tune in Monday at 8PM for ABC’s, The Bachelorette. It is DeAnna’s turn to find the true love of her life, choosing from a stable of real bachelors. Each week, another bachelor is eliminate from the show, until only one bachelor remains, to win DeAnna’s heart and marry her. We only have a few short weeks left to discover who DeAnna really loves!

All things being equal, none of the requirement rules have changed at all from last years rules. In order to compete in American Idol auditions, you must be between 16 and 28 years of age. Also, you must be officially allowed to work in the US.

Where does the time go? Didn’t we just finish up with American Idol, a few weeks ago? What an industry! The eighth American Idol auditions begin on July 17th at the Cow Palace in San Francisco. OMG, this is only a few weeks away!

American Idol auditions have become a real cause for celebration. Entire cities have been known turn out for these events. People will travel cross country, just to be in on the mayhem.

This is a video clip of a group audition in CA. A few thousand sing “California Dreamin” in hopes of being chosen as a contestant?

As you can readily see, these American Idol Auditions are almost rallies, with nowhere to go! But, they are certainly more fun than some of the political rallies, so far.

Good luck to all of you, that hit the American Idol Audition trail this summer. May this years audition tour be the best yet!

The Greatest American Dog premiers July 10th, on CBS, in their 8PM time slot. This might be just what the summer needs, a reality show for the dogs! And yes, there are a few of them already. The Greatest American Dog looks to be right up the dog lover’s alley, yet has some real crossover promise. It’s a reality, competition show, yet the stars are the canines.

The Greatest American Dog, is about twelve pooches all competing against each other for the grand prize of $250,000! This should prove to be a very challenging show with a big, built in handicap. Do dogs know about money, or even care? Well, there are a few very smart pooches competing in The Greatest American Dog, so maybe they do know what money can buy.

In this video clip, you can see some of the contestants with their trainers, for The Greatest American Dog.

We should know that money can’t really buy love and this is why the dogs trainers are going to be living with their dogs, every step of this competition. Hopefully these dogs will compete against each other out of love for their trainers. So, the winning dog’s trainer gets the cash and the dogs gets extra kibble?

Ahh, if only dogs could talk, CBS would have known that all they had to do was, throw this dog (minus pony) show, a bone for a grand prize. But, wait! Dogs can talk! Check out this video byte, below.

The Greatest American Dog is only a few days away from airtime. This could be a real breakout reality show for other animals to get a shot at prime time. “Big Rabbit’s House”, “Kittens With Sharper Claws” and “I Survived Monkey House”. These were reality show project ideas, that did not make the cut this past season. Maybe, The Greatest American Dog will really be that breakout show and pave the way for the future survival of other reality animal shows.

Who knows what the producers of Big Brother are thinking about? Pamela Anderson is set to stop all her other projects, for this Big Brother thing that she’s been asked to do. What a strange world it is, after all. Tommy Lee just showed up with his Motley Crue last week on the Larrry King show.

Oh, no! This is not Big Brother 10, this is Pamela Anderson going to the Australia, Big Brother show. Apparently this Big Brother’s ratings are falling down a bit. The Aussie’s love Pamela Anderson. Kind of like the Japanese being in love with Jerry Lewis?

So Pamela Anderson is going onto Australian version, Big Brother on July 9th, to teach all of the Big Brother house guests, a few tricks of her trade. Hmm.. And just what would be a few tricks of Pamela Anderson’s trade be about?

Sorry, this is too rich. You have to wonder, if Pamela Anderson were to show up on Big Brother 10, then maybe we are all in a Japanese Game show, after all?

As to Big Brother 10, in the US; “mum” is the word. They have chosen the cast for the summer show. Big Brother has a ton of fan blogs and sites that are speculating and rumor mongering like crazy, as to when; all will be revealed.

Some of the rumors have touched on a few of the Big Brother alumni getting thrown into the summer’s season, along with the rookies. There have also been a lot of rumors that this season of Big Brother will have a political spin, due to the elections, etc. In the end, we will just have to see.

In the meantime, in a few weeks, we can start keeping our eyes open for video clips on the Internet of Pamela Anderson teaching the Aussies all about her tricks of the trade?

The Bachelorette star DeAnna, finally gave Graham Bunn the Boot, off The Bachelorette last night.
DeAnna, from this Bachelorette season, finally gave Graham the boot at elimination time and it really killed her to do it. This was probably the hardest decision that DeAnna has had to make for herself in a very long time.

The Bachelorette is a reality show competition, no doubt. DeAnna has had such strong chemistry for Graham, that for awhile there; I wondered if she was going to stop the show and just tell everyone, she can’t continue because of her overwhelming feelings for this basketball bachelor. The other bachelor contenders in The Bachelorette, knew they could not compete with this, yet; this is a reality show and the production must keep moving forward.

Let’s get real for a short moment. The Bachelorette is a major production, created for prime time viewing. It takes some finesse to be able to look through the smoke and mirrors, to distinguish the superficial, from the reality.

Within this reality show, The Bachelorette, we are constantly told by the contestants, just how much they love DeAnna, how they are falling for DeAnna, they can see themselves married to DeAnna, etc. The truth is, how often do a group of men fall in love with the same women and all want to marry her; all at once? If this sounds like something out of a “true romance” magazine, remember; only on a reality show or a Jerry Springer show, does this really happen, all at once.

The real, reality of The Bachelorette, this season is; DeAnna’s feelings for Graham. Even the other contestants can’t avoid this monkey wrench that is in the way. This might have been something that none of The Bachelorette’s production crew, counted on happening.

This is a clip from The Bachelorette, that goes a long way, to explain what has been going on between DeAnna and Graham.

In the end, Graham? Wow, what a fool. The question now is, which one of the remaining bachelors, really wants the grand prize; after Graham has been eliminated? The grand prize in The Bachelorette is getting married to DeAnna. Will these remaining bachelor’s hearts really want to come in second place?
