Surviving Nugent
VH1's latest offering in the non-"Greatest however many things in whatever"-shows category is a reality show where seven 'lucky sons of bitches' are tricked into spending a few days with the Motor City Madman, Terrible Ted Nugent on his ranch.
It seems that VH1 instead of breaking this up into multiple shows has decided to just show it in one big chunk.
They have to survive Ted and his family, and head ranch-hand but the worst part is surviving one another.
Ted eliminates the first guy for smelling like a 'french whore.' He gets rid of him right after they get to the house while he is giving them the rules of the place.
Ted puts them in the barn when they first arrive and makes them build an outhouse for their first chore.
They build something that bears no resemblance to an outhouse. Believe me, I know what an outhouse looks like and that wasn't it.
Who are they you ask?
Well, there's the whiny DJ guy, the french-whore guy, the nympho model, the big tough guy, the vegan animal rights activist, the brother, and the girl with no personality.
The vegan has the obvious problems with Ted, but makes a fair showing of herself when she's not being the saviour of all the poor widdle animals. That's quite a bit of the early show.
Ted's an asshole, but he's a fair asshole. You get in there and try and don't whine too much and he'll respect that. He can also spot somebody who's full of it.
I imagine the reason they didn't make this a full fledged show is that there probably just wasn't enough material there. Most of these people just aren't that interesting.
Ted is what makes the show interesting.
Annoying people running from Ted while he shoots at them with a paintball gun from horseback. Annoying people running through a leech infested swamp. Annoying people running through an obstacle course
It's like I imagine living with my friend Joey would be.
