Jesus Tonight Rewards Stephen Baldwin’s Faith With Another Humiliating Reality Show!!
I am – Hercules!!
Before Stephen Baldwin found Jesus in 2001, he was the star of Bryan Singer’s superb, acclaimed big-screen mystery thriller “The Usual Suspects.”
Since Baldwin gave up substance abuse for a faith-based lifestyle, God has willed him to demonstrate his lack of brainpower on a string of reality shows, among them “Celebrity Mole” (in which he was outwitted by Frederique van de Wal and Erik von Detten), “Celebrity Apprentice” (in which he was outwitted by Lennox Lewis and Carol Alt) and “Celebrity Bull Riding Challenge” (in which he got stepped on by a bull).
In the next few weeks we’ll learn if Baldwin brings further shame to his more successful brothers via NBC’s “I’m A Celebrity, Get Me Out Of Here,” in which he’ll compete against fellow reality-show vets Heidi Montag (“The Hills”), Spencer Pratt (“The Hills”), John Salley (“He’s A Lady”), Janice Dickinson (“The Surreal Life”) and Sanjaya Malakar (“American Idol”), as well as scripted-TV vet Torrie Wilson (“WWE Smackdown”) and former first lady of Illinois Patricia Blagojevich.
We’ll be seeing a lot of “I’m”; it runs Monday through Thursday tonight through its June 24 finale.
America will vote the “celebrities” off the show one at a time. The contestants receive a five- or six-figure paycheck for every episode in which they appear (not all the contestants are paid the same), so they’ve got plenty of motivation to stick around.
I was more than a little surprised when, following a six-year hiatus, NBC decided to mount a second U.S. season. Hopefully NBC will learn from ABC’s failure and mount a better product.
Apparently a much bigger deal outside the United States, “I’m” saw its first U.S. edition air on ABC between Feb. 19 and March 5, 2003. A dancer once married to Jennifer Lopez, Cris Judd, won. It was terrible, but I was compelled to watch every episode, and I suspect I’ll again be watching every episode this year.
8 p.m. Monday. NBC.
And remember: talkbackers who claim they’ve never followed a reality show are trying to make everyone forget that time mom caught them masturbating to “Breaking Bonaduce.”

"talkbackers who claim they’ve never followed a reality show ...
by yesiamaplant
Y'know, you're right. I'll totally cop to it. I followed The Real World. When I was thirteen. Get over yourself.
-
. . . that Herc doesn't like his job all that much. There's a lot of passive/aggressive in his posts lately.
-
Given their polar opposing political views, I'm surprised they haven't faced each other in single combat over a fiery pit by now
-
It's a bit early to be going Chrischin' fishin', isn't it?Haven't you ever hear of Job? Life on Earth isn't supposed to be fun.Still, countdown to someone taking the bait and getting really upset. Ten, nine, eight..
-
One wonders if Baldwin believes he's being punished for all his past "sins".
-
but it is a lame and unfunny cheapshot at someone's religion
-
Cheapshot? Yes.
Unfunny? I wouldn't say that. :) -
You may watch reality shows even though you know they're trash but don't kid yourself that everyone else does it too just to justify it to yourself. Ever since Big Brother and it's ilk first appeared I've never been able to stomach more than about two minutes of any reality show.
-
I mean compared to the other stuff that wasn't so bad
-
I haven't seen Kirk Cameron on anything other than a Jesus channel for quite some time. Jesus is a curse.
-
Relegated them to Versus, that is.
-
If Baldwin does it, that means Hasselhof doesn't. That's a beautiful gesture on SB's part.
-
Anyone who thinks reality shows are great ought not question the intelligence of Christians.
-
filling the jungles of Costa Rica with useless pseudo-celebrities. Audiences vote on what to do to them.North Korea is testing nuclear weapons and ICBMsCoincidence?
-
"Text 2345 to make Patricia Blagojevich walk a mile covered in bull dung"Text 3456 to make Janice Dickinson have to swing through the jungle like Tarzan LaBeouf""Text 4567 to nuke the whole lot"
-
And Heidi Montag and Spencer Prat will...
a. Be eaten by Piranah
2. Be bitten by poisonis giant spiders
3. Get lost in the jungle never to be heard from again.
Ok I don't really believe any of that because, at heart, I'm a pessimist. -

manor house was the only reality show i ever followed
by creamcheesealchemist
which makes me a dork. as for stephen baldwin, i maintain he simply knows a different jesus than i do. there is no greater tool for satan than christians who make you ashamed. I'm on to you, lucifer!
-
it was funny
-
but I did hear somewhere that the money goes to a charity of their choice. On the flipside, if NBC pimps this any more I might very well be in support of the Nuke option.
-
... obviously ain't working for the dumbest of the Baldwin's. Perhaps a switch to Xenu is in order?
-
I watch America's Top Model, almost religiously. But reality TV still deserves to fail, disappear and sink to the depths of hell from whence it came. Hopefully due to some show-related death or dismemberment.
-
I have to be honest. That race show was good the few times I watched it, in more than a lookie-lou car-accident kind of way. And plenty of really great people have their favorite reality show that they watch, as I do. But ENOUGH already. There are too many of them.
-
Of Stephen Baldwin? Now there's an idea! Let's do a new reality show... Retro Roman Coliseum! Stephen tries to convert other contestants and gets pitted against a pride of hungry lions. I know I'd watch!
-
Jenny Jones moment. You wait and see. And you know what the end result will be? Non-reality shows will face stricter censorship as a result. Because female Republican representatives who sound like they're crying when they talk are dumb as a fucking rock. *cough* heather wilson *cough* jackson nipplegate *cough*
-
You sir, are an ad wizard. Bravo.
-
start crying and saying "my dad was a pedophile" every time she feels guilty about being a raving lunatic for no fucking reason. (like I said, I watched Top Model)
-
I'm still waiting for a reality show where they hunt down 5 douchebag talkbacker's each episode and kick the shit out of them. Now that would be quality TV that we could all get behind.
-
I can't imagine that He would. But it's probably Jesus saving the rest of us from Baldwin movies. The Usual Suspects is my #7 all-time favorite movie, but that's in spite of his performance.
-
Bigotry really suits you.
-
It's reality that isn't real. Like a glove, baby, like a glove.
-
You don't know bigotry until Fox news debates whether the president MENTIONING your kind exists, or acknowledging your kind exists in the world is "offensive". Then you'll know bigotry. This is bowling. You guys set 'em up, we knock 'em down. Or maybe at this point it's more like Lucy and Charley Brown playing football. Get used to it, no matter what group you join, even and maybe especially one I'm a part of, is going to produce mind-numbingly stupid members who will eventually be the butt of some douchebag's joke on the Internets. It's hardly bigotry. It's more like sport, but without trophies, or dignity, or waiting around for injuries.
-
...would have been that one where you had to stay within 50 feet of Ol' Dirty Bastard for the span of several days, or Bill Hicks' groundbreaking concept for "Let's Hunt and Kill Billy Ray Cyrus." You're probably a nice guy, Herc, (or girl, I'm not really sure anymore), but FFS, quit pretending that your taste in television isn't complete festering ass.
-
..."Ain't It Cool Reality" Harry Knowles sits in his den/office/bedroom in Austin, blogging and opening Fed Ex boxes of swag from Guillermo Del Toro and Peter Jackson all day, every day. Gradually we notice he only blogs good reviews of films by Guillermo Del Toro and Peter Jackson. Not much else happens. Test screenings of the show have found the audience to be disturbed by Harry's constant muttering of a phrase that sounds something like "Mock-Lit Smoothered in Mooshy Shoes". At the end of every hour episode, an over-aged Japanese schoolgirl for some reason comes into Harry's room to turn him over on his couch and spoon-feed him Cream of Wheat (who sponsor the program).
-
...which is, sadly, more than I can say for too many Americans right now.
-
until i relaised it was complete and utter bullshit, making celebritries of non celebrities. yeah it took me a while, but i figured it out. i'd rather watch the soup for the round up of the best moments and save hours of waste from my lfe
-
when people in this thread say 'this is what Jesus wants Stephen Baldwin to do' I don't know if their joking or being serious.
-
It just turns you into an asshole no one wants to hang out with. And since Hollywood is very much a social networking club, their careers cease along with the dinner party invitations.
-
It's my pitch for a new reality show. It's where former celebrity, and current con artist Stephen Baldwin get jammed up the Octomom's twat, and shat out 9 months later. Every episode will easily be a 40 share, and the last episode will be bigger than the M*A*S*H finale, Roots, and every Superbowl combined.
-
You don't know bigotry until Fox news debates whether the president MENTIONING your kind exists, or acknowledging your kind exists in the world is "offensive".
When did that happen? -
NBC should bring back that show.
-
--being forced to actually sit and watch 33 years worth of Gilmore Girls, Hackimer Whedon's Buffyverse and out-takes of Waterfalls until he sits back up in his chair and starts Feelin' it! Feelin' it! YES PRAISE THE LORD AND PASS THE DEMEROL HERKIMER'S FOUND GOD AND HIS NAME IS JACK VAN IMPE WOOOOO HOOOOOO the Black copters are gonna find ya Herkimer yessir.
-
BREAKING BONADOUCHEBAG!!!
-
I have to admit, it is a little scary to see all of these once rock-solid American institutions turned into worthless, bankrupt punchlines.

You watching THE CUP?Which team are you rooting for?

No games 3-4 of Cup finals are because of Conan's Tonight debut
by tall_boy66
NBC has games 5-7, and 6-7 are weeknight games. Considering how after the first two games it looks like the Wings are going to blow out the Pens, the series may not get back to NBC. Kind of sucks they bounced it, but I understand that Conan's first week can be huge and getting bumped by NHL going into OT could put a hamper on that. By week 2, two nights possibly getting bumped wouldn't be that big a deal. That's why they ran game 1 & game 2 back to back on NBC, something you hardly EVER do in a final, but I'm cool with that.

Amazing Race and the first 2 weeks of American Idol are good "re
by tall_boy66
And the first season of "The Osborunes" was interesting because, frankly, nobody had ever done it before (simply plop a camera in a house and watch them live their lives). Amazing Race is just great TV, regardless if it's reality or not because it has a distinct competition. And the first two weeks of American Idol is hilarious (but they unfortunately cut back on the Bad Singers, which is really the only reason the show is worth a damn to bother with. It's ratings are always the highest when it comes back. People love watching the judges getting tortured.) Aside from that, there hasn't been anything interesting to the format since Survivor got veryyyyyy stale, and there's nobody else interesting to follow around anymore. So, yeah, 90% of reality shows are shite. But not everyone.
-
I think once a week is enough for Survivor, and that's a GOOD show.
-
But since Kristen Bell's a Red Wings fan, DET it is. We Flyers fans hate the Pens' living guts. :D
-
I am glad that your "God" Joss Whedon has to audition for a Buffy the Vampire movie. What if it's successful? A complete reboot. Ha ha ha.
-
and why is he saying that he's the biggest celebrity on the show? I hope he suffers serious, serious injury during the course of this show. Anyway, sitting through this show was worth seeing Conan's 'Wicked Game' spot. I lol'd.
-
...hook Lou Diamond Phillips up with a better role on 24. He shouldn't be on this crap.
-
Sorry, should have included the link originally. It's kind of hard to believe until you see it.

Not Kiefer's fault they killed his buddy off after a 3 episode cameo. I don't think Sutherland had any pull in the series at that point.
-
Except for when it's Christianity, conservatism, or capitalism. You guys are a pretty hateful bunch and I'm glad I'm not a party to it.
-
we libs would be tolerant, if you fucks didnt attack us every chance you get obama takes one step in the wh, and hes a radical, communist bastard you guys love to dish it, but cant take it i have watched baldwin spew his born again bs, and i could care less, until he starts attacking
-
Jun 01, 2009 10:04:19 PM CDT
LOU DIAMOND is in this!!! WTF! They didn't even mention him...
by juansanchez
in the ads. What the hell. He's more of a celebrity than Janice Dickensuck, John Sally, Torrie Wilson, Sanjaya Malikballs and Baldwin!!!!!
-
seriously? Did you just accuse Republicans of being the attackers while you LIbs are just innocent victims? Um, OK, apparently the last 8 years you guys were supportive of out president and were never attacking. Riiiiight. The sad thing is that GeorgieBoy is right.... and so are you. The difference is that Republicans aren't hypocrites. Libs spout out that we should all be tolerant, non-judgemental and respectful; however, you guys don't waste a second to destroy reputations of those who disagree with you, label people as bigots or racists, and act completely spiteful and hateful to others that don't buy into your propaganda. At least republicans don't lie and say they believe in tolerance, non-judgements and being respectful; they just speak their minds and don't give a shit who hates them or not.
So basically, you're all asshole, but you Libs just won't admit it -
So Herc won't watch Dexter or Supernatural, but watches crap like this?
-
That one step in the White House Obama took tripled the national debt and has put us on the verge of losing our AAA credit rating. We kept the rating through the Great Depression, but not five months of this incompetent bozo? did you miss our current debt comes out to $ 500,000 per family?
Liberal policy's have to be attacked because their gross stupidity is causing massive damage to the country. -
so fuck off
-
How hot Torrie Wilson is!! Damn, what a body!! Too bad she's blonde. And someone kick that dueschebag Spencer's scumbag ass!!

EyeofPolyphemus thinks our economic problems happened in a year or even more recently than that. Is it stuffy in your bubble?

Sets up a table and hands out anti-gay materials. When people call him out on it, he starts spewing about intolerance. Douchebag with a capital D. Guess what, if your primary identifiable trait as of late is intolerance, you don't get to cry like a big baby about intolerance. It's how it works, get used to it. OFTEN. Republicans who want to be taken seriously for real conservative ideas need to seriously distance themselves from hate groups. Christian or otherwise. It just so happens that seems to be the breed they choose at the moment to get in bed with. It stops being about "disrespecting the opinions of decent, traditional, hard working Americans" when the opinions are intolerably idiotic, backward and hateful. No matter where you're from... and let me quote someone you may be familiar with... "it is what it is". Sometimes, when people spout hateful nonsense, OTHER people are going to have an opinion about it. That's not intolerance, it's criticism. Grow up, grow a pair and move on.
-
In that case, cap and trade is dumber than government mandated tithing. Global warming/climate change is every bit the leap of faith that religious belief is, and both should be subject to a separation from the state.
Yeah, and a stupid vat tax to pay for healthcare for all can eat my balls. -
I sometimes thinks you're a man who looks beyond borders. But your lack of knowledge of TV and entertainment in other countries is suprising. Your revealation of not watching The UK Office before was suprising. Even after the US one entrhalled you you never thought to check it out. It saddens me... you're missing out on a lot of quality stuff!
-
Really? Do you get free lightbulbs from GE or something?
There isn't much good television, try covering some of it instead of shit like this. -
....Torrie kick the shit out of that idiot Spencer, and throw a bitch slap to that crybaby wife too.
-
I did not address when our economic problems began. I said Obama trying to spend his way out of it was stupid.
Care to address that issue or do you just want to keep on missing the point? -
Just take it like a man.
-
... I'm trying to get the full picture.
-
Why hate on Stevie Baldwin? He loves Jesus. Big freaking deal. I thought you liberals were supposed to be "tolerant."
-
fuck him and his right wing jeebsus crusade.this fuckhead all of the sudden had some kinda apithany or something? meh he wasnt that good of an actor anyway.
-
All these rich stars who found god go from one habit to another.
-
God doesn't really exist, now does he? Tolerance ends at fiction.
