Nugent takes reality TV to a whole twisted new level

I watched VH1.com 's Surviving Nugent last night. Holy Crap! This is Survivor on crack and on a carnivore kick. Yeah, it's entertaining to watch contestands bitch and whine about hunger, homesickness, immunity challenges, and each other - but nothing really compares to the mind games Nugent and his family inflicts on the 9 20/30-someting-year-olds who swagger on to Nugent property.

"French Whore!" - Ted Nugent

it's his rules or the highway - he immediately eliminated one guy for smelling funny - like a french whore - 24 hours later, another broken arrow was handed over to a sweet little blonde, who was trying to avoid pissing people off. In the end, she ended up being a disappointment to Nugent.

Of course, like any reality show - the vegans get the worse part of the editing.

Sarah - Contestant
Age: 27
Occupation: Campaigns Coordinator, Last Chance for Animals

Sure, she has balls - possibly more so than the alleged male contestants - but she reeks of self righteous-ness and she's easy to hate....or at least, to get annoyed with. She has this way of pushing her ideas/philsophy/way-of-life onto every contestant - even Nugent.

"Throwing an egg at me is like burning a cross my on my front yard." - Sarah

This was after Nugent's son got fed up with their whining and started egging them, as the slept in their sleeping bags - out in the barn.....with the other animals. After that remark - it was downhill for Sarah - at least for the popularity contest. Throwing eggs is so NOT like burning crosses....I understand that yeah - eggs could have had life in them...at least before being tossed into a carton - however, the whole burning crosses bit - yeah that either preceeded or followed lynching/terroism/bad blood for the actual targets of the burning crosses.....
