Nightmare at 20,000 Feet

I flew out of JFK on Monday on JetBlue, and discovered that in addition to the free blue corn chips, they also have free in-flight DirectTV blaring in your face for the entire flight. Well, it did give me a chance to catch some of "The One Who Got Away".

Premise: TV dating show where the guy lives in a mansion with 7 of his ex-girlfriends and tries to figure out which one he wants to get back together with. A better title would have been "Women who are crazy whores who will do anything to be on TV". Now mind you, I only watched about 20 minutes without any sound, but it was still wildly hilarious. The show stars the Tucker Max-ish Skipper Kress and 7 of his exes and various women who have crushes on him, standing around in bikinis on the patio drinking wine.

So, each of the women look into the camera and bug out their eyes and (thankfully silently) go on and on why Skipper should pick them. The on-camera titles alone were worth watching the show. There was "Kristi, 22, Skip's coworker- has had a 2 year crush on him" and "Grace, 24- most recent ex-girlfriend" and "Mallory, 26- childhood sweetheart" and "Mindy, 24- best friend who wants more". There was also "Katie, 22- had summer romance with Skip" but I think it was actually supposed to read "Katie, 22- Skip dumped her because she was fat."

A much better show would have had "Molly, 26- raging misanthrope" who would wear a one piece bathing suit, drink all of the wine and then say things that make the other girls cry.

I would plug in my headset for that show.
