Talk and talk and talk about it

Just watched the debut of Love Triangle, a game-or-something show on GSN. To be fair, there is a tiny amount of what might be called gameplay at the end. Unfortunately, we have long, long interviews with the "contestants" before the sort-of-fun begins.

The premise is that somebody has to choose between two lovers. In the debut it was a fifty-something guy choosing between his twenty-something girlfriend and his forty-something lady friend. To kill the suspense, I'll reveal that he went for younger flesh.

But we first had to endure endless chitchat about money, sex, lifestyles, travel expenses, handbags, cleaning ladies, houses, jobs, and God knows what else. They finally hooked the ladies up to lie detectors in what was the show's only mildly interesting segment, though it was obviously "borrowed" from Moment of Truth. After the polygraph did its thing, the guy made his choice.

Not that I cared by then. I'm not sure if he cared by then. At least host Wendy Williams wasn't too loud or intrusive.
