ITSBRY:
I've been generally supportive of the changes GSN has undergone since the exec-swap a couple of years ago, but \"Who Wants To Be Governor of California\" is horribly embarassing and makes EG look good.  I can't believe anyone could sit in a meeting, discuss this idea and actually say \"hey, that sounds good...let's do it!\".

I only watched the last few minutes of last night's episode...it made me absolutely cringe.  Mary Carey is too stupid to be alive.  Apparrantly being on TV is a rush so intense that these morons are willing to show America how embarassingly pathetic they are.  :(

Mary Carey got to that point in the last few minutes that you saw by smoking three straight opponents in a series of ladder-structured showdown questions.  Her character is a ditz, and not the least bit appealing to me, but apparently she has something of a head on her shoulders.  At the risk of being lewd, the difference between a good lay that makes $20k a year and one that makes $200k a year involves that part of the body that guys don't care about during sex.

Don't get me wrong, she wouldn't last two seconds on Jeopardy (well maybe Celebrity Jeopardy... shudder), but in the scheme of things, she wouldn't quite finish dead last on the list of who's qualified to run the state.

(Ew, I just defended a porn queen.  Someone disinfect me.)

Oh, come on. . .Nobody's pancreas is going to net her another $180,000.

I have every intention of avoiding this [and that putrid VG block, which I flipped on for a second during a commercial on Finders Keepers....I chose the rest of the commercials] I was taping The King of Queens on CBS during the original airing, anyway.

I thought he was talking about her appendix.

 I don't know. I find the current run of Jeopardy to be kinda watered down; she might come out okay.

Now if it were Jeopardy circa 1991...
