So I have this fascination with terrible reality TV and the B-list of celebrities that they attract. A few seasons ago, there was a show called “Gone Country.” It featured a vast array of washed up singers, actors, and nobodies from Sean Young to Mickey Dolenz. Yes, the guy from the Monkees. The premise, to produce “the next big thing” in country music, as discovered by country sub-celebrity John Rich. Yes, the “Save a Horse” guy.

One of the more notable stars on this show was 80’s pop-rock diva Taylor Dayne. I can’t remember if she won the competition, or got voted off in week 4. Frankly, it doesn’t really matter. I think she was just trying to rejuvenate her career.



My newest obsession is this food cook-off…..Rachael vs. Guy Celebrity Cook-Off. Starring Food Network personalities Rachael Ray and Guy Fieri. Among the competitors….television’s Cheech Marin, Lou Diamond Phillips and guess who, Taylor Dayne.

I don’t know why she is on the show, maybe she needs the money. (to pay for her obvious plastic surgery) Or the groceries. Maybe she wants to break the record of how many terrible celeb-reality shows someone can be on (I believe Florence Henderson holds that record now with “5 too many”).



This show will definitely be fodder for more posts. Surprisingly, I didn’t hate it, or mock it, it was mildly entertaining.

By the way, Taylor made a gazpacho shooter, and of course the one sent home for the week was Aaron Carter, who couldn't manage to  make a macaroni salad that didn't look like a brick.  Looking forward to seeing more hilarity as the show continues and bought some salsa made from Guy to see just why he is the master.  As for Rachel Ray I have a hard time getting behind her.
