Crossover TV

A popular prime time TV trick places characters from one show into a plot for another show on the same network. CSI: Las Vegas frequently visits CSI: Miami, the Clampetts sometimes showed up on Petticoat Junction, and Yogi Bear sometimes hung out with Huckleberry Hound.

Last week, the "biggest losers" visited The Bachelorette. Jake and Vienna, last season's bachelor and soulmate embarrassed the brand with a huge on-air cat fight. To me, it calls into question the very premise of this show. It may be entertaining, but it's not real, so what differentiates it from the WWF?

Back to Jake and Vienna ...

Anyone who watched the show knows she shouldn't have even been in the final group. And Jake comes off as a headline-grabber who has the worst decision-making skills this side of Washington, DC. Why is he angry at Vienna, when he personally culled her out of a group of 25 just a few weeks ago.

Consider this ...

There may be a reason all of these articulate good-looking people are unmarried.
