EXILED: Amanda


EXILED
the premise of this show... is confusing. Initially I thought it was like a crazy reality revisit-- taking former Sweet 16ers and putting them in uncomfortable situations and laughing as we watch them pull a mariah carey.

but apparently I was wrong. Exiled appears to be a means of "intervention". for what? addiction to brattiness? entitlement disorder?

who remembers Amanda? I don't recall the details of her episode but I DO remember that spiral perm. GAH.

So for a week Amanda will live like the Masai. DOES ANYONE ELSE SEE ANYTHING WRONG WITH THIS SCENERIO?

Let's say that your dad decides to send you to Africa tomorrow because you're a bitch. Are your primary concerns really about where you can shower and plug in your hairdrier? I might be a bit more nervous about what happens since you didn't get any vaccines. Just saying.

Welcome Home
This is your house. Made of cow dung. I mean, this really makes you think you must be an asshole, eh, Amanda? I think it's a very impressive piece of architecture. And guess what, Mandy?! You get to try your own hand at making cow poo house. AWESOME! She must have been an incredible downer off camera. Honestly, if everyone had just stood in a crowd and pointed and laughed at her I bet she would have tried it because of, you know, the peer pressure. What a turd. Josephine really puts it lightly when she says Amanda is disrespectful to her community and to Africa. I wouldn't take this

"That smells like frickin butt"
I wish someone had given Amanda "don't be an asshole" lessons before they sent her to Africa. And also that they hadn't given her a Sat phone. whoa. WHOA. did Amanda just say that this "takes a lot of courage".

I think also we should start blogging BUSTED.

We have so much in common
Like Beyonce. And gossip. And boys. Sweet god. I will show you the beauty and surperiority of America by giving you a trucker hat to wear and explaining the concept of "modeling". I WANT to believe she gets it. and is a better person now. but. methinks probably not.

"It kinda like woke me up"
Wow. Amanda is a decent human. With perspective. And a new found appreciation for her life. But has she changed? Because I don't want to punish you, I will check the mtv webpage on your behalf. She now:
Feeds the dog!
Cleans her dishes!
Sweeps!
Goes to Community College! Where she wants to do good!
Works at a tanning salon!

that. is. incredible.

Exiled, I am not sure how I feel about you. But I do know that I can't wait to see Sierra, Cee-lo's daugher, who I am sure has become totally out of control since the release of "Crazy". Christ.

so glad you went with mariah carey as a synonym for breakdown. AM I YOUR PERSONAL DICTIONARY NOW?

I tried to watch this show and couldn't make it beyond 5 minutes. How you could write such a funny recap is beyond me. Kudos to you!

I'm glad you crazy kids too over this site and made it more active. It makes for fun lunch-time reading here at the office.

i mean it's not a good show. it's sort of like "scarred" when i would have to like change channels while i vomited. i bet if jake were writing on the blog again it would have been a LOT more funny. a lot.
