OK most reality TV is horrible drivel mercilessly assaulting us and I can’t conceive how some shows get funding let alone an actual audience (i.e. ‘The Hills’-seriously? Plus an aftershow?! What hellscape are we living on that allows something like that to exist???) But I do like Project Runway; I can barely sew a button back on and I pay people to hem my pants… or beg my sewing inclined friend and ply her with lavish compliments. When I see what these people can do in an evening it blows me away; wether I think the garment is ultimately kind of ugly or not it’s still really impressive to me. And the fact that Ms. Klum looks like that after having so many kids also blows me away… I don’t think I’m ever going to lose the baby stomache :(
I also abhor the Bachelor/ette, and ‘For the Love of RayJ’, and that Rupaul train wreck, and ‘Survivor’ should just die already, that gimmick is stale… unless they give them weapons and zero food and they actually do have to survive… and ‘Tool Academy’, and ‘Big Brother’… I could go on…
El-Feato will be back though :)

Gay damnit.. leave Tank alone! he doesn’t approve of this. DX
May 17th, 2010 at 1:03 am
I’m suprised Lech actually admitting to having watched the show
May 17th, 2010 at 1:18 am
I *love* the look on Tanked’s face, like, “*Who* was here first?!”
Hmmn. Hot chicks, sometimes revealing fashions…, yeah, Lech is a fan, obviously.
Gah…, who *does* watch “reality” television? And why, oh, why, oh WHY did MTV abandon music? At least they are trying to be honest, now, by changing their logo so that it doesn’t have “Music Television” on it, anymore. It went from actual music, then to rap, then to crap, i.e., reality television…, but this is turning into a rant.

Well most reality shows do blow, I do have one I watch though…The Ultimate Fighter. Love that one :D
May 17th, 2010 at 2:48 am
What’s this in panel 8? A POPPED COLLAR?! YOU DISAPPOINT ME GAY!
May 17th, 2010 at 2:51 am
Love Tanked’s faces in this one, priceless.
Oh, my idea for Survivor; dump ten people on a desert island for four months, with nothing but the clothes on there backs. Last man standing wins.
May 17th, 2010 at 5:20 am
Tanked might react here or just be as dumb as usual.
May 17th, 2010 at 6:08 am
Maybe everyone should take a lesson from Tanked and get completely blitzed, that would calm EVERYone down, even Crack.
May 17th, 2010 at 7:01 am
i dont think that fitts tanks personality vary good it gust seems wrong chang the chanil unless thare undesing i
dont wont to wach a modil show lol i know thats so wrong of me to say but its funny.
good job keep them comeing
May 17th, 2010 at 7:45 am
bottom left panel: looks like tanked is not amused X3
May 17th, 2010 at 9:20 am
Tank cleans up so well. Just adorable.
May 17th, 2010 at 9:23 am
I love what Gay did to Tanked.
Also, sadly my parents are reality show junkies. Big Brother and Survivor are included amongst their “collection” I miss Fear Factor.
May 17th, 2010 at 10:22 am
Aww, Tanked looks so cute and confused! X)
I love the whole fignting over the remote because that is excatly what I say with my younger siblings.
May 17th, 2010 at 12:26 pm
Gay what are you doing to poor Tanked? D: The wine, I understand. The polo shirt with a popped collar, that’s liveable. But combing his hair like that? It’s just… just wrong. >.<
May 17th, 2010 at 1:01 pm
Heh…. there goes Gay & Lech again…. If I were Tanked, I’d grab the remote and go back to wrestling….or else just turn it off and watch the *current* fight ‘tween those two. ;)
May 17th, 2010 at 1:04 pm
P.S: about the shows…. I hardly watch TV because of shows like that. The only show remotely to “Survivor” (which my parents are also a fan of) is “The Amazing Race”. At least with *that* show, they don’t go to the same place twice or do the same thing twice unless it’s been a few seasons since they had done/gone there. You get to see the World in a whole new way with that show….
But the rest? :p I don’t get why my Dad watches “CSI” (and variants) all day long…. :p
May 17th, 2010 at 1:07 pm
Panel 5 : Awwwww >w<
May 17th, 2010 at 3:04 pm
i do love Rupauls drag race
May 17th, 2010 at 3:11 pm
aw…I’m actually a big fan of survivor. They actually used to not give the contestants any food…and then one season they were so emaciated they thought the contestants might actually die, so they started giving them food in the beginning, plus food rewards along the way.
May 17th, 2010 at 4:49 pm
A green Lacoste shirt!? That totally doesn’t match. Sexy black Express v-neck all the way! Haha Gay should know that Tanked can’t stay sober and kempt for more than a day.
I don’t have cable, therefore I am subjected to less reality garbage. Go for a walk. Reality.
May 17th, 2010 at 5:26 pm
WHOA WHOA, Stop, Rewind…did Lech just say he watched an episode of Top Model….hell hath just turned into an ice rink at reasonable prices free for anyone 12 and under
May 17th, 2010 at 6:04 pm
El Feato forever!!
May 17th, 2010 at 6:05 pm
@ Evil2.0 It’s scantily clad women, its not that surprising.
May 17th, 2010 at 8:11 pm
I’m more surprised that Lech knows that it’s a repeat.
May 17th, 2010 at 8:43 pm
Aw man, I missed a bunch of pages. I haven’t had too much in the way of internet lately… What I do get is generally really slow or I don’t have it for very long…
Tanked is like a little dress-up doll! XD I want to dress him up in all kinds of outfits now…
I can relate on the reality TV stuff… Most of it is awful, but some of the better competition ones (like Project Runway) can be pretty good. It’s nice when it isn’t just random drama or whatever…
May 18th, 2010 at 7:56 am
Soooo…..it’s a repeat, huh? Love it!
May 18th, 2010 at 12:07 pm
Heh…love that Tanked’s hair is already back to normal in panel 9.
May 18th, 2010 at 4:30 pm
Tanked’s expression in panel 8 is hilarious X) he’s probably thinking “How the hell did this get here?”Anyways keep up the good work and side note all the show listed are actually good compared to Jersey Shore.4 words:Spray Tan Douche Bags
May 18th, 2010 at 6:03 pm
Lech and Gay are going to get really drunk one day, and its going to end with them waking up in the same bed the next morning, or killing eachother.
Maybe both.
May 18th, 2010 at 6:17 pm
…Wait, if none of the bears wear regular clothes on a regular basis, why does Gay have? (And why am I trying to apply basic knowledge to Bear Nuts? They’re all MOOTANTS)
May 18th, 2010 at 9:13 pm
I like Top Model, Project Runway, Top Chef & Design Star, but other than that I don’t really like any of the other reality shows anymore. I’ll admit that I watched some of the VH1 shows (Flavor & Rock of Love), but after a while those got so incredibly stupid even for VH1.
Heh… Tanked looks like a frat boy just before he slips out to get drunk.
May 19th, 2010 at 9:55 pm
I BELIEVE IN YOU!!! i hear baby weight takes about 6 months to come off if you maintain some sort of routine exercise, buuuuut with having a new baby, who has time. well by the time he really starts walking, you will have plenty of exercise ^_^
May 20th, 2010 at 6:29 am
Will you ever have a story where Tank talks?
May 20th, 2010 at 6:29 am
Tanked …… sorry,
May 20th, 2010 at 4:51 pm
My god!! Gays making tanked drink bottled beer!!! Everyone knows he drinks beer from kegs and cans not bottles!!
May 21st, 2010 at 5:55 am
I love Tanked. Period.
May 22nd, 2010 at 1:40 pm
@Animie fan
But he can find that on any channel these days, why top model?
October 19th, 2010 at 5:39 am
So, been reading through the archives and just wanted to take this oppourtunity to say a few things, though I’m not quite to the end yet.
1. LOVE THE COMIC!
2. Crappy reality TV gets funding, because that funding is so minimal. The Hills for instance requires ONLY the cost of the camera crew, everything else is paid for by the characters’ (which they really are, since their whole media persona is a farce) and the ad contracts they get to be seen at such-and-such place wearing such-and-such outfit drinking such-and-such alcohol while using such-and-such phone on camera.
3. Your comments make me sad since it sounds like there’s a lot of awesome pictures that were vote incentives that I’ll never get to see.
December 5th, 2010 at 2:28 pm
…Why was Lech watching- never mind, I don’t want to know.
April 8th, 2011 at 11:26 am
Gay recovers very well from elephant trampling…
July 6th, 2012 at 12:15 pm
95% of all reality TV is pure trash. Because of that, I don’t pay $60 a month for cable.
