I do not like this sentence. It exudes a wicked aura.
It was a super weird choice. I don't think she had any plastic surgery beyond botox done at the time. I think the idea was that people at that point mostly knew her from a reality tv show specifically about being married to Travis Barker. But I looked it up and that show was like 5 years prior to Bridal Plasty and she had gotten divorced from him 2 years earlier??? The whole thing was very strange.
The only thing I specifically remember about it beyond that was that the most vicious of the contestants ended up in the final 2, but instantly looked defeated as gently caress when she found out that the eliminated contestants that she had been super vile to would be deciding the winner. Cut to the other finalist smiling her rear end off. *chef's kiss*

I think the objective worst reality show kinda has to be something like Solitary, that threw its contestants into solitary confinement and actively denied them things like food and sleep. Just like actual straight up torture for.... entertainment? Also it ran for 4 seasons and got picked up by a couple countries other than the US. Somehow.

Solitary was about adults who had knowledge of the sort of show they were going on and were closely watched the entire time for, you know, the torture they were doing. the show apparently had therapists on site who were the first people they talked to when they were let out of their hellpods because of how that could mess someone up.

meanwhile, tying the two threads of conversation together, this one's gotta be top 5 worst just for how much it doesn't care about the contestants well being:

I believe the first reality show to dip into the plastic surgery arena was Extreme Makeover. They also had to settle some lawsuits because of how hosed the show was. Somehow, that show ended up spawning Extreme Makeover: Home Edition, which was really on the vanguard of the "positive reality tv" movement (and was also a much bigger hit than its parent show).

Denpa Shōnen teki Kenshō Seikatsu

quote:

Nasubi was challenged to stay alone, unclothed, in an apartment for Susunu! Denpa Shōnen (January 1998 – March 2002), a Japanese reality-television show on Nippon Television, after winning a lottery for a "show business related job". He was challenged to enter mail-in sweepstakes until he won ¥1 million (about US$10,000) in total. He started with nothing (including no clothes), was cut off from outside communication and broadcasting, and had nothing to keep him company except the magazines he combed through for sweepstakes entry forms. After spending 335 days to reach his target, he set the Guinness world record for the "longest time survived on competition winnings".[1]

Nasubi lived in front of the camera, with only the possessions he won via the sweepstakes (save for basic utilities such as running water, heating and electricity), and the stacks of postcards and magazines required for entering the sweepstakes. Due to his nudity, an eggplant cartoon graphic covered his genitals when Nasubi was standing on camera. Nasubi is a Japanese word for "eggplant"—the nickname was chosen due to his 30 cm long face shaped like a Japanese eggplant. Nasubi believed that he was being recorded and the show would be re-broadcast later once the footage had been gathered. In reality, the experiment was being livestreamed, with footage compiled and re-aired each week, complete with sound effects present at frequent intervals, especially to highlight his sadness and frustration. At first, he received no food at all, drinking only water and losing weight. Eventually, he won some sugary drinks from his sweepstakes entries, then a bag of rice, and eventually survived for weeks on dog food he won. He carried on conversations with a stuffed animal he adopted as his sensei. He never won clothing he could wear (only ladies' underwear, that was too small), nor did he ever win anything to trim his growing facial hair. He also won other prizes he was unable to use, like movie tickets and a bicycle (both of which would have required him to exit the apartment to utilize). When he won a television set, it was initially useless as there was no cable or antenna hookup in the apartment (intentional by the producers out of fear he would discover he was already on TV), but it became useful when he later won a VCR (for the two videotapes he had won previously) and a Sony PlayStation (for the games and controllers he had won previously).

Upon reaching his goal, he was clothed and blindfolded and taken to a surprise location. Nasubi happily went along believing he was going to get a special prize for his year of hard work. After they removed his blindfold, he found himself in South Korea where he was shown around town and taken to another apartment. He was once again asked to take off his clothes and challenged to enter sweepstakes, this time to win enough money to afford a flight with Japan Airlines to return home. When Nasubi quickly met this goal after several weeks of entering competitions, it was revised, this time to afford a ticket in first class, and this goal was also met in a matter of weeks. When he had won enough to return to Japan he was blindfolded, clothed and taken to another apartment in Japan. When the blindfold was removed, he looked around, sighed, and took all of his clothes off. At which point the walls of the apartment fell away to reveal that he was in a TV studio with a huge live audience. Nasubi was confused by this, because he thought the show had not yet been broadcast.

The entire ordeal lasted about 15 months, during which time his diaries on his experience of being locked away from the outside world became a best seller in Japan, and the TV show broke all records with 17 million viewers each Sunday night.

He reported being hot and sweaty wearing clothing after his ordeal, and for the first six months had difficulty carrying on conversations.

It's a daisy chain thing. Like one time John Boyega made an instagram comment about "It's not a matter of who [Rey] kisses but who eventually lays the pipe" which is gross and also immediately tips into the nasty shipping wars the sequels had at the time. Jenny made a tweet about it being a misogynistic comment. The Discourse loops around into everyone being too hard on Boyega because he's a black man and/or people hating on him because they're Reylos. Therefore everyone bothered by the remark is a Racist Reylo and gets flamed, and if you block anyone who comes at you about that then that only proves you're a Racist Reylo etc.

No that was a separate thing that mandalorian wolf guy did after to manufacture more "evidence" that Jenny was racist because he didn't like her star wars opinions and wanted her to get ripped apart. e- You can even see the mandalorian wolf guy alluding to the time I'm talking about as part of going "Wow and I thought that was bad, but look at these [doctored] screencaps of you being even more racist!!!"

Wait, he's actually trying to go forward with suing Paramount? I honestly didn't think he was that dumb.

The only reason he won against Archie is because Archie is incompetent and Sega didn't give a gently caress. The Sonic Movies have made good money for Paramount, they would loving destroy Penders if a court actually took the case.

He was a known figure and is probably why there wasn't much backlash to how he was treated on the eggplant show. If in let's say 2002, you saw someone like Dane Cook going thru the same ordeal, i don't think people would necessarily go "Oh, he definitely got tricked into being on that position".

If there isn't a good deep dive into Penders video there ought to be (although there is a thread on him in the comic subforum which has multiple links if you just want to read like some kind of plebe), but he's notoriously litigious and I'm sure even if the video could get cleared he'd probably find some way to make it a giant hassle for the content creator. Possibly in spite of himself because that's how Penders works.

Yeah, Archie was incompetent and from what I understand Sega didn't give a poo poo beyond telling Archie "make this mess go away". I don't believe for a second that Penders didn't sign a standard contact giving the rights to all the characters and stories he created to Archie/Sega, but Archie couldn't prove it so they just gave up and settled to give him the characters Sega didn't care about and rebooted the comic to remove all characters that didn't come from the games or cartoons.

I imagine that it's no coincidence that Sega suddenly pulled the Sonic license from Archie when another former writer got inspired by Penders and started making noise that he was going to sue to get the rights to his amazing character, Mammoth Mogul or whatever.
Just wasn't worth putting up with this poo poo so they gave the license to IDW and started again.

The details of that are pretty interesting. Archie's offices had a flood and the contracts were apparently destroyed (although why you're not keeping your contracts as secure as possible I don't know) and while they did have copies they were photocopies and a combination of Sega not bothering to send legal representation and the case just wearing down the judge it was decided that there was no official proof they didn't forge Penders' signature because they didn't have a copy of the real one. The judge was probably all "Yeah, sure, you get your echidna, whatever, get out of my court room."

Wish there was a simple video on what the entire lawsuit entailed because I don't get how they have their own planet and yet also never have anything to do with it. It doesn't really work like Mario Galaxy or Starfox or Kirby and I have to assume that somehow the lawsuit is why because I don't know why else they had that back and forth 'No it needs to take place with normal humans even though nobody besides Eggman ever matters' for like 4 games.
