Apparently The money she tore up was later put back together and went towards medical help for her obesity condition etc.

But that’s reality TV for you - it’s a format that naturally devolves (over several seasons) into a freakshow in which emotionally damaged people are put into situations that push them to the brink (or beyond) of total breakdown… all in public, for the entertainment of a bored and apathetic couch-bound mob who’s vital energies are rapidly draining away.

It’s like the fall of the Roman Empire superimposed onto the tyranny of television…. television lamely aping the “participation” which is embodied in this strange new creature who’s dynamism and vitatlity are leaving it for dead.

Really enjoyed reading your blog - made me LOL a lot! You are one funny man.

Also, “Don’t Look Back” is possibly my favourite scary movie. Donald Sutherland was such a fox back then. The love scene is uncommonly ordinary and yet so hot.
