The Greatest American Dog-
The crying edition:
We’ve pretty much seen it all when it comes to reality TV- makeovers, drinking, fights, hooking up, men scaling walls in tights for money- oh wait, that last part was last weekend…damnit. Never one to be outdone, and with no fear of taking reality TV too far, NBC has decided to throw animals into the mix- gracing us with the Greatest American Dog. Although I’ve never seen the show, I’m hoping to learn a little something. My dog has been to obedience school more times then the Charm School girls have been toplanned parenthood. So, I enlist my 85lb mutt, give him a fresh rawhide, and settle down in front of the TV, and we’re off.
We start the show with a recap of what happened last week- it’s a good thing too, because I missed last week (and the week before that….and the week before that…) To catch you up, if you don’t watch the show (and since I’m writing this already having watched the entire hour, I’m betting you don’t) the premise of the show is dogs and their owners compete in dog-eat-dog (pun intended) competition, judges judge/eliminate them each week, and the last one standing gets $250,000. I love that the prize for this competition is the same as the prize for “I Love Money” that is ironic on so many levels.*insert you own “bitch” joke here* For a brief minute I look over at my dog- contemplating entering next season of Greatest American Dog, wondering if I could win a cool quarter mil….as I wonder, I see that he can’t figure out how to turn around in between the couch and the coffee table. I have my answer.
Any who- back to the show- It’s like ripping off a band-aid…painful, but necessary! Some lady with frizzy hair named Beth Joy is hugging some cute but dumb looking guy named Travis and crying. I know how you feel Beth Joy, I don’t’ want to be here either.
I do appreciate the tears BEFORE the opening credits, maybe this show won’t be as bad as I thought…. Any who- back to Beth Joy and her tears. She’s muttering something to Travis, thanking him for something…..did I catch a “last night” in there? It’s a dog reality show, what else she could possibly have to cry about- unless one of the contestants pooped in her shoe. Maybe it was Travis (and the plot thickens)
Ah- here we go. Apparently Beth Joy and her dog Bella Starlet (what’s up with the 2 names?) were up for elimination last week and Travis stood up for them, thus protecting them from the gum disease known as GINGIVITS (or elimination). Side note: Beth Joy’s bio it says, ” She currently works as Bella Starlet’s ‘ “Stage Mom/Manager.”’ I guess Dina Lohan isn’t the only stage mother managing a bitch on reality TV. Yes the bitch jokes will only get funnier as we progress. Anyway, Travis hugs BJ and I snicker like an eleven year old at the happy coincidence of Beth Joy’s initials. Their display of affection makes me think that maybe this is the kind of reality show where people are nice to each other without any sort of ulterior motive. Although I’m guessing there is substantially less alcohol consumed during the taping of this show than your average Real World or America’s Next Top model house. This would explain the lack of outward hostility. Although If BJ were my owner I’d definitely start my AM with an Irish coffee.
All of the sudden, It’s the next morning, and Bella Starlet (BJ’s dog) is hissing at Travis.See what happens when you’re nice on a reality show Travis? BJ starts crying again- about how BS was a rescue dog blah blah blah. If this lady ever has kids, I’m thinking she’s a prime candidate for Munchausen's by proxy. BJ has now cried TWICE before the opening credit?!?! Finally- time for credits- at least we know we won’t see BJ cry for a good minute or so. After the credits BJ cries. Aaah, I kiiiiiid- but I would be willing to put money on her crying at least one or two more times before this episode is over. The background music gets tense, my ears perk up (sorry a little dog reference) My spidee sense tells me- a battle is a-brewin between JD(owner of Galaxy) and Laurie(owner of Andrew)- they are heatedly discussing the merits of treat training vs. positive reinforcement /submissive method. These two are look like they’re going to neuter each other. You would think they were debating something that mattered, you know like the war in Iraq….the presidential election….who really is the cutest Back Street Boy…the music gets tense and BJ looks like she’s gona cry again. You’re not even in this fight BJ. WTF. All of the sudden all the dogs and people are outside. What- we never got to see how it ended!!! The editing on this show is super choppy- but what can you expect when you hire Manuel from the Pet Smart to be your audio/visual guy. Ooooh- maybe it got violent and there was fur flying, so they had to cut it out. I think I’ll fill in my own missing pieces for this show, it has to be better then what is actually going on. I wish you all could watch the show in my head, Beth Joy just got run over by a bus.
Our host Jared, who I don’t recognize from being on anything…. tells us today’s challenge will be “The Big Dig” He’s going to put the dogs/owners into teams one of them has to hide in this coffin looking thing under this giant box, one dog has to ring a bell and then this other dog has to go into the box on top of the coffin and pull a rope to release the owner inside. To find the rope they have to dig through what looks like woodchips- It took me 2 rewinds of my DVR to even understand what the dogs are supposed to do! The owner who is not in the coffin is in charge of directing both dogs. I look over at my dog who is still stuck in between the couch and the coffee table, he’s managed to get half of his ass on the couch, but the progress seems to have ended there. I sigh.
Jared divides the contestants into teams. I wish they picked teams old-school playground style, at least that would cause a little bit of drama, and maybe I’d get that knife fight I’ve been wishing for…
Team #1-JD and his dog Galaxy and Laurie and her dog Andrew. Andrew looks like a mop.
Since JD and Laurie were just having that cut throat battle about the treats vs. positive reinforcement, neither one seems happy with the pairing. JD has a black eye and Laurie’s arm is in a sling. Ok maybe not, but it would be a much better show if it were true. My dog whines.
Team #2- Theresa and her dog Leroy and BJ and her dog BS (I wonder between BJ and BS which one is the actual bitch) Theresa thinks BJ is batshit insane and that BS is useless. Although I have not seen BS in action, I am going to have to agree by default.
Team #3 Travis and his ADRORABLE dog Presley (I love Boxers) and Bill and his dog Star. They seem happy with the pairing. BOOORING. These two make me miss the treat vs. positive reinforcement fight. I hate them for that. I also hate myself a little.
The winner of this complicated challenge gets to stay in the Dog Bone Suite (I pause my dvr and snicker again. The one bright spot to this show is that they say things like “bone” a lot. As an eleven year old boy trapped inside a 26 year old woman’s body- I genuinely appreciate that. Although sadly no one has once said hump yet…). The winner also gets a “leg up” in the best in show competition, AND an opportunity to speak with a loved one. The last prize gets the contestants excited, and JD tells us his son's birthday is tomorrow so he needs to win this. That’s great parenting, sorry son, daddy’s a fame whore, it’s ok, you’ll have another birthday next year. Why can’t the contestants speak with their family anyway? They’re in a dog competition….not hiding secrets for the CIA. JD and Laura go first, JD is in the coffin/box and their turn goes pretty smoothly. I hope JD wins, he’s gona need the cash from this competition to pay for his son’s therapy when he comes to the realization that his daddy loves the doggy more than his own son. At least if he wins and calls his son, that’s one less verse of Cat’s in the Craddle his son will sing in future drunk kareokee sessions.
Travis and Bill go, and Bill is also pumped for the phone time, he wants to talk to his wife. Presley runs away at first, but eventually gets the job done and they finish with pretty good time.
And now it’s time for BJ and Teresa. BJ gets in the box saying that she knows her dog will want to find her. Yeah I’m confident your dog won’t turn to the closest PA and beg to get the fuck out of here. Leroy rings the bell and BS gets in to dig for the rope. Instead of digging, she just barks and snaps. I think she is hoping Mommy is dead. Maybe I’m just projecting my thoughts on to the dog again…although I’m sure she’s used to it with an owner like BJ. Travis and Bill observe that BS is not digging. Thanks Travis and Bill, I might have missed that one. LOL BJ says “mommy can’t breath” to Bella Starlet to try and motivate her. BS, no stranger to BJ’s crying, continues to bark –yeah, that wouldn’t motivate me either. BJ and Teresa fail, because of BS.
Jared says it’s time to announce the winner…and the winner is …cut to commercial!
NOOO how will I ever live without knowing RIGHT AWAY. I need to know who wins!! This is worse then the treat/praise controversy!
Phew, we’re back- and Travis and Bill win. Sorry JD- if you’re lucky your son will take the resentment out on himself by becoming an outcast of society instead of out on you! Travis is excited to call his mom. He says he’s a mamma’s boy- his bio says he’s a bartender/aspiring actor in LA. I think “mamma’s boy” translates to mom, can I have some money to pay my rent? His mom sounds bored on the phone, and I think(wish) I hear her ask him why he doesn’t have anyone else to call. She then tells him she doesn’t have anymore money to give him and slams down the phone. Travis starts tearing up.
Bill calls his wife and is really sweet until he calls her old woman. He then askas about her diabetes. She confirms she’s fine. He then goes on some rant about how he wants tacos. Now Bill is crying too. What the fuck this is a DOG REALITY SHOW, Enough with the freaking crying. Is it the taco’s? These pseudo reality show stars wouldn’t last one minute on Rock of Love.
And as our endless hour continues- it’s time for the Best in Show challenge- This consists of a maze that the dogs have to go through and find their owners, but wait…there’s a twist…and they won’t find out until…tomorrow. Oh good- more time in the house. Bill and Travis will get their “leg up” in the dog bone suite..*snicker*
When they get back to the suite, there’s a bunch of puppies there. The note says they each have 2 hours to get their dogs acclimated to the puppies. This must be the first time either of them has heard the word “acclimate” since they proceed to say it about 9 more times in the next 5 minutes. They play with the puppies. It turns out Presley is a puppy too and wants to play, but Star refuses to play with them. Riveting…I know. For those of you haven’t fallen asleep yet, let’s continue on.
We see the rest of the contestants the next day asking what the leg up is. Bill shoves a used condom in his back pocket and feigns ignorance. Travis blushes. Neither of them will ever tell. That was part of the agreement…just one night….
And now it’s time for the competition-FINALLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It turns out each dog has to not only go through the maze but has to lead 3 puppies out. They have a 5 minute time limit. I look at my dog- he’s sitting on the couch next to me licking his butt. At least he was finally able to figure out how to un-wedge himself. First up- JD- he goes to the pen to get Galaxy ACCLIMATED to the puppies and after only 2 runs through the maze, she gets them all out.
Bill and Star are next, Star goes through 3 times, she has 2 puppies out. During the 3rd time she lays down and Bill wants her to keep going- people seem really pissed that he’s pushing his dog too hard. It’s not like he’s running a doggy sweat shop, calm down.
Laura and Andrew are up. Andrew still looks like a mop. Maybe I should get a dog like Andrew to clean up with after my dog pees everywhere. Andrew gets no puppies. Jared gives us a play by play- incase we missed it. Jared says Andrew has no puppies. Thanks Jared.
BJ and BS are up. During her time to get ACCLIMATED BS just barks and hisses as the puppies. BJ doesn’t even use her full ACCLIMATION time. BS goes into the maze and barks- incase you missed it, Jared tells us that BS has no puppies. Thanks Jared. I’m so glad you’re here. Towards the end of her 5 min time limit BJ starts saying “where’s daddy, where’s daddy” I’m assuming she’s referring to the husband who’s at home drinking and mutering to himself that she’s finally gone. Me thinks that Daddy won’t be there when BJ and BS return.
Travis and Presley are up. Presley just runs through over and over and gets no puppies. Jared confirms that is what I saw. Who needs DVR when you have Jared for the instant replay!
The three judges who watched all of this puppy gathering go down are Wendy Diamond, editor of Animal Fair magazine, Alan Resnik, editor for Dog World and Dog Fancy, and Victoria Stillwell, a dog trainer to the starts. They go through each owner- stating the obvious (Judeges, have you met Jared?) making sure Bill knows they think he pushed Star way too far. They tell BJ that BS sucks. BJ says that BS was barking the puppies towards her. Victoria says that’s Bull shit..haha or BS. BJ is like that parent who refuses to believe their kid is a little monster even though they’re throwing blue play-dough at strangers on the street and has sprouted a tail and some horns.
Then they talk about JD and Galaxy- and here it is again! They talk about how JD uses dominance instead of treat training, and how this is “medieval dog training.” Victoria and Wendy start to yell at each other. Victoria’s all snobby and British- Wendy’s about to bust a cap in her ass. They are seriously pissed. Who knew that the treat vs. positive reinforcement debate would resurface with such a vengeance. I wonder if it’s going to be brought up in the next presidential election. We cut to commercial. When we come back, a P.A. has obviously calmed down these two wackos and they are saying how much they respect each other. Lovely. I was hoping for a fist fight. All of the sudden we are in some dog show room with the judges. Again- nice transition editors. I can’t really blame them, they’re probably just as bored as I am and are trying to rush this thing along. I have no doubt that we’ve seen the most riveting moments of the competition.
The bottoms 3 are Bill and Star, BJ and BS, and Travis and Presley. Ooh and shocker- Bye bye BJ! BJ cries- AGAIN. The only bad part about BJ leaving is that there’s no more crazy to entertain us. All well- back to go find daddy, or at least the few things daddy forgot to pack as he high-tailed it out of town. And the winner is Teresa and Leroy. There were scenes from next time…but as I’d rather watch my dog lick his butt then this show again, I decided to opt out of the riveting scenes from next week. So, what did you think? Did anyone actually WATCH this….
