In entertainment news this week is a beloved couple, Chip and Joanna Gaines, and their new show featuring 3 families competing for the chance to win—- oh wait, they don’t win anything! Well, that’s lame. The purpose of “Back to the Frontier” is to help participants gain an experience that might improve their resilience, increase their appreciation for the simpler things, and grow closer together by way of living without modern conveniences. In other words, get off your phones and live in the moment, you addicted sons of— Oh wow, sorry I got carried away there. OK, no phones. But also, no toilet paper, makeup, electricity, or grocery stores. Are the women going to have hairy armpits? Will the men wash their undies? This oughta be interesting.
Also, there’s no prize money. Don’t forget that. I guess The Gaines’ are the only ones walking away with fatter wallets. But none of the aforementioned stuff is why there’s controversy surrounding the show. Here’s the gay news: Some folks are upset that there’s a homosexual couple (with their 2 kids) included in the casting. The reason this is bubbling up on social media is because Chip and Joanna are Christians and I guess that means they can’t speak to, be friends with, look at, get within 6 feet of, any gay person anywhere at any time. But they better heck be wearing their WWJD bracelets!
Everyone who’s upset about the casting of a reality TV show– emphasis on reality and TV and show– needs to just…
It’s a TV show, not applications to become the next pope. Get a grip people! I’m not going to watch the show for a few reasons, but who is or isn’t appearing in the show isn’t one of them. More closer to the truth is that I don’t have cable and I pretty much detest all reality shows. Plus, did I mention there’s no prize!? So let me get this straight (pun intended): they want us to sit down weekly to watch people grow emotionally and become better versions of themselves? Booooooooring! No thanks. That’s the gayest thing I’ve heard this year.
