Happened to be watching an episode of Dog Eat Dog on GSN today. My wife came into the room and announced what a dumb show it is, or was.
To some extent, she has a point. On the YouTube video where I got the fetching screenshot of host Brooke Burns, the original poster admits the show was "rather polarizing." Translation: some people liked it, and a lot of people despised it.
The eye candy and trash talk offered by the show were probably its most controversial aspects, though I personally didn't mind either. Exactly the opposite, in fact. The more skin and the more insults, the better me likee.
What nobody can dispute is that Dog Eat Dog tested very real athletic skills, like strength, hand-eye coordination, and reflexes. Yeah, the reality trappings could get a little tiresome, but at least the show never forced contestants to eat scorpions. Dog Eat Dog still occasionally gets semi-respectable numbers on GSN when the network trots it out to fill a few hours here and there.
