Question: You were quick to describe
Starved as "the one FX show that crosses the line of outrageous indulgence," while you were
not appalled by the most recent
Big Brother eating contest? I
know I can't save all the lives in Niger with the cakes and sweets they threw away, but how about
you stepping up to the plate and expressing what I honestly believe would be your disdain?
Answer: What is it with the accusatory tone this week? For one thing, I wrote the
Starved review long before that silly episode of
Big Brother aired, and food aside, I don't see the connection. And I took a vow this summer that I would just ignore
Big Brother in print altogether (although I do tune in once in a while out of morbid fascination that it still exists). I was beginning to bore myself with my predictable contempt for that show. Yes, I suppose the waste of food in that episode could earn my disdain, but more to the point, it's the waste of time that really bothers me about
Big Brother.
