Celebrities?


Okay I understand has beens as celebrities... but what Rumer Willis? Is the definition of celebrity now just whatever squirted out of the dick or snatch of a celebrity... What the hell has this horse faced nobody ever done?

She's an actress, both on television and Broadway. and she's a damn good singer too.

Clean out your ears. I've heard her, she ain't that good... if she were that good do you think they would have bounced her in from Chicago after little more than a month of performances? She was a publicity stunt nothing more.

At least you had a reasonable chance of guessing last season's singers. I had to Google the two who were eliminated last night (9/25/2019) afterwards just to figure out who they were.

Its all going to depend on who you know and what you follow. I had no idea who the internet guy was. But I follow Ice Skating and the Olympics and Johnny Weir is very well known in those circles.

No one can know everyone. Other than Ice Skating I wouldn't know any athletes. I don't follow internet celebrities. That you or I don't know a particular celebrity doesn't mean they aren't well known in their circles and don't deserve their distinction in that area.

And I really hate the term has-been. Everyone cycles up and down. Just because a celebrity is not currently popular or is retired or semi-retired they still deserve the respect that earned in their own field.

Maybe the way I said it came out wrong. I never said they weren't famous just that I had no chance of guessing who they were as I had never heard of them. I don't mean to devalue their accomplishments.

reply

Ah, my apologies, then. I took your comment the wrong way.

reply

No problem. Doesn't hurt to clarify. My apologies for the misunderstanding.

Weak start if this the sort of people they have lined up this year.

reply

Why? Because you didn't know them?

reply

Anyone who's watched a recent Winter Olympics knows who the one was, but the gamer? Never heard of him. He is not a celebrity.

btw I never heard of Deadmouse or Marshmallow either but found it amusing that those two were guesses from the panel.

reply

So that just shows that other people do know them. Pretty much any of the sports celebrities other than Figure Skating would be completely unknown to me. That doesn't mean they aren't celebrities and well known in their circles. I have no doubt the gamer/internet guy is very well known to the people into online gaming. I wouldn't know him from Adam, but that doesn't mean he isn't well known to gamers.

I think a wide range of celebrities from many fields is a good thing. Even if you don't know them, it might prompt you to research them and maybe develop a new interest.

I find it really interesting and always wonder how much is scripted and how much is reality. Despite how ridiculously scripted some of their guesses seem (Lady Gaga is NOT going to be on this show..at least not as a contestant and guessing someone like Wynonna Judd when it's someone fairly petite), they DO seem genuinely shocked most of the time when someone's revealed. I'm just wondering if the person has got to be someone at least all the panel had heard of. How awkward if one of them had no idea who it was. I have no idea if that's happened yet. It's strange because a lot of the time their guesses are so insanely off base, (as if it's on purpose for scripted comedy) like they didn't even LISTEN to the singer or pay attention to the clues. I might just be cynical. I really enjoy the show but I am skeptical.

Last year I knew Donnie Osmond after about ten seconds, and Ricky Lake right off the bat from her clues. This year so far i'm struggling, but when someone pointed out they think the dog is Chris Daughtry I was like holy crap, your right, the clues "It's Not Over" and his voice sound JUST like it. I knew it sounded familiar but couldn't place it. Some say the ladybug is Kelly Osbourne putting on a fake accent. The Ham clue would be her mom throwing a ham over the fence to the neighbors, she's been a judge on tv shows, Australia being one of the places she was a judge at so the Sydney bridge, family drama, etc. She somewhat sounds like what I remember too from Papa Don't Preach days.

I'm hoping Wednesday I can guess who the next batch is. I'm trying not to read comments about guesses until i'm stumped haha.

It's happened every episode on the Australian version so far. For some reason we have Lindsay Lohan as a judge and every reveal she's just had one big awkward smile on her face, it's hilarious. Although considering the Z list "celebrities" already revealed you can't blame her, most Australians could be forgiven for not knowing who they are either.

Ridiculous show. I hate myself a bit for watching.

reply

No Spoiler but last night's episode was odd in that the judges called it from day one who the eliminated celebrities were. Are they given some kind of list of who the celebrities may be at the beginning of the season? That's the only reason I can see for some of their guesses.
