If I had a million dollars, I could afford a better episode. Even if I was Joe Millionaire and had only $11 000, I could probably still put together a better episode than the one we saw tonight. We waited a whole hour for the ladies to meet David only to hear him say "I'll see you all tonight", cue commercials. And unlike last year's edition, the previews of upcoming episodes did not look enticing at all. I mean, the blond girl zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz... One last thing though - are these really the most beautiful women they could find in ALL of Europe? Where did the producers recruit them from? A tanning salon? Or the plastic surgeon? Did they not all look like a sickly Christina Aguilera with an accent?

And then, FOX got even sluttier with "Skin," the latest twist-off on the whole Romeo and Juliet feuding families with kids who love each other theme. Now the girl who plays "Jules" (ooo, how subtle with the naming) was quite the fair maiden, but O Romeo, Romeo! wherefore art thou Romeo? Apparently Leo was busy so they brought in a Miguel from Passions look-alike. And what was Sydney from Melrose Place doing here? The editing meanwhile, was flashy and stylish, something unfortunately, that can't be said for the "eye-roller" plot. In fact, I was so disengaged, that during a scene with strippers, wire taps, a cop stakeout and making out, all I could think about was where I had heard the song playing in the background before. It was Moby's "Porcelain." Get it? Porcelain skin? That was about the only thing interesting I could make out of tonight's premiere. Granted, the show did live up to its title with the generous booty shots, but even so, a show by any other name would still smell as cheesy.
