Reality shmeality. “Are You Hot” is the furthest thing from reality on television today. Unless of course your reality consists of impossibly beautiful, expertly sculpted, perfectly tanned, tits and ass doing the runway walk in your living room demanding you tell them how pretty they are. People don’t really look like this, folks. So how this counts as “reality” TV is beyond me.

If you aren’t familiar with the concept of this show, I’ll try to explain it even though it is really, really, really complicated. Scantily clad contestants from across the country jiggle, slither, and sometimes even prance in front of a panel of celebrity judges whose job it is to either mercilessly point out their flaws or tell them how HOT they are. I think they must get paid extra every time they use the word HOT. Either that or the producers are hoping college students will start a drinking game based on the show. I can personally guarantee that if you do a shot every time someone says HOT, you will be shit-faced by the first commercial break. I know because I tried it. It was the only way I could watch this fricken show without gauging my own eyes out. Anyway, the whole point of the program is for two of these lovely morons to eventually be crowned "The Sexiest People in America." Their parents must be so proud.

The self-proclaimed wanna-be hotties are rated in three categories: face, body, and sex appeal. I swear to God I’m not making this up. There’s no talent segment, no poise competition, no badly choreographed dance numbers to suffer through, and best of all, no heartfelt, three minute speeches about world peace or global warming. We get to skip over all that crap right to the good part – half naked, dumbasses greased up within an inch of their lives. But the best part of the judging is the flaw finder. Ah, the flaw finder - a laser pen the judges use to point out cellulite, meaty thighs, or if we’re lucky, breasts that are too artificial looking. Too artificial looking? Whatever!

“Are You Hot” is so full of shit I feel like I need a high colonic every time I watch it. First of all, since when is Lorenzo Lamas qualified to judge hot women? I would think after the episode last week where he showed up shirtless with a little red bandana tied around his neck or the fact that he is clearly gay would have disqualified him. He should only be judging the boys. Trust me on this.

Randolph Duke and Rachel Hunter are the other two judges. Don’t worry, I didn’t know who Randolph Duke was either (I mean, besides the geezer from the Eddie Murphy movie "Trading Places." Turns out he designs dresses for actresses to wear to awards shows and stuff. Yeah, he’s probably not gay at all. As for Rachel Hunter, um, yawn. Talk about being way too September 10 for her own good - does anyone give a crap about this chick anymore? She was a swimsuit model like 30 years ago or something. What have you done for us lately, Rachel? I thought so. Oh, and Rachel, if you’re reading this, it’s called S-H-A-M-P-O-O. You might want to have your people pick some up at Target. It goes on your head and if you use it with water it cleans all the gross stuff out of your hair.
I must have missed the part where we collectively decided that a pretty package is more valuable than a brain. I don’t know about you but a tight ass doesn’t help me out when I have $10,000 dollars burning a hole in my checkbook and I need advice on how to invest it. Well, maybe it does, but that’s only after I’ve made the investment and I want to celebrate.

Anyway, I’m getting off the point which is, quite simply, this show sucks. Except for the laser pointer flaw finder thing. That rocks.

Above: "Are You Ho?" ABC has sunk to new lows.
