I'm not really one for reality tv shows, but I was sitting here at my PC when Celebrity Circus came on. Now, I love the circus. The Real Thing, Circus of the Stars, Cirque Du Soleil.. I didn't really care that it was a reality competition, it's THE CIRCUS.

I was both impressed and disappointed by the contestants. Almost all of them put a lot of work and effort into their routines. Their routines themselves were simple, not the caliber that you would expect out of a professional, but the fact they worked very hard the past few months on it showed.

Except Blu Cantrell. Even her trainers commented on her lack of effort. In the end, it REALLY SHOWED and she had the gall to feel dissed by the judges scores. Sorry hun, you twirled by your arm once and your leg once on that thing (SpanishWeb). You didn't even climb up it or slide down, they moved the loop for you. Lame.

Kudos to the rest of the celebrities. The fact two of them went on to compete with bone fractures says something. Stacey Dash kicked some ass and Christopher Knight (remember Peter Brady?) on that high wire? OMG, I've been trying to do a high wire on the WiiFit and I SUCK. I can't imagine doing it 40ft above the floor. Still, it was amazing to see footage of the contestants when they started training for these, and then the final product. Wow.

The whole entertainment thing was sealed with a bow watching Louie Spence flirt with all the male contestants, AND telling one of the females that she had him looking at parts that a "man of his persuasion" typically does not look at.

I think I know what I'm watching next week... Gotta get my circus fix.
