My flatmate and I have started watching the MTV reality show "From G's to Gents", where 14 G's (gangstas) compete to most refine themselves, thus becoming a gentleman and $100,000. It's a pretty incredible show. Right now the contestants are each working to prove that he is a real G, and that he needs the money to improve his life.
I wish the show focused more on the challenges. Last week's episode taught the G's how to dress like gentlemen, and tested what they have learned in a fashion show. Their choices were critiqued, but they weren't given an opportunity to improve upon their knowledge. This week's was better: the ten remaining contestants learned to play cricket and to play like gentlemen. They were penalized for etiquette infractions.
I just remembered today that this weekend starts the NFL playoffs! It's Week 0: Redskins vs. Colts, Hall of Fame game.
I'm excited, folks, it's been a long year-and-a-half without live (American) football.
