VHS Tape #25: Bye Bye Brandon Calhoon and Kaysar



All right, here we go. The contents of yet another old VHS tape I recorded off TV. It's from August of 2005. This tape contains the evictions of both Kaysar from Big Brother, and Brandon Calhoon from Rockstar INXS - two contestants I really liked at the time. There are other assorted random things on here, like Celebrity Fit Club with Gary Busey. And the episode of Big Brother where Janelle says "bye bye bitches." There are other random reality related things on here, like Battle of the Network Reality Stars and Kill Reality. I really liked reality TV back then. Enjoy! 


(00:00:00)

Kill Reality
 - Johnny tells people he slept with Tonya
 - Reichen talks about being gay
 - More Fairplay and Tonya drama
 - Jenna Lewis nude scene filmed
 - Johnny Fairplay's love scene
 - Johhny Fairplay's death scene. His stunt double is a woman.
 - Next week previewed. Ethan Zohn arrives to film his part.

(35:32)

Big Brother 6
 - Kaysar pleads with Maggie for safety
 - Sarah uses Veto on James
 - Janelle is put on the block next to Kaysar

Rockstar INXS. This is the first episode I have recorded since the first week. I think 4 or 5 people have been booted from the show. It's okay, none of them were good anyway.
 - Rehearsals and song selection episode are recapped
 - Mig: We Will Rock You
 - Deanna: I'm The Only One
 
*Cheap Seats in commercials. It's a spelling bee and they make fun of a fat kid and call him a young Hannibal Lector. He tries to spell turbinado*

Rockstar INXS (cont)
 - Marty: Arms Wide Open
 - Ty: Everlong. I can't believe he's never heard of this song before. I am also going to add that the band is particularly amazing in this song. The singing is just all right.
 - Jessica: Blister in the Sun
 - Brandon: If You Could Only See
 - Jordis: The Man Who Sold the World. This is one of my favorite performances in any singing reality show ever.
 - JD: The Letter. I love this performance too
 
Rockstar INXS. Apparently I don't have the elimination episode for the previous week. Tara goes home, which is okay since I didn't record her previous performance
 - Susie: Losing My Religion
 - Mig: All Right Now
 - JD: Crazy
 - Jessica: Come As You Are. This is terrible
 - Jordis: Layla. Watch carefully. She almost drops the mic during this performance
 - Brandon: It's All Over Now. I thought he did great. But this ends up being his swan song.
 - Marty: Mr Brightside. Yay!
 - Deanna: Long Train Running
 - Ty: No Woman, No Cry. This is good.
 
Rockstar INXS elimination show
 - Jessica sings Disappear
 - Brandon sings Don't Lose Your Head and forgets the lyrics
 - Susie sings Bitter Tears
 - Brandon cut
 
(1:57:37)

Celebrity Fit Club
 - Last episode recapped where Jani was AWOL. His drinking was out of control. Which is sad because he died of alcohol poisoning a few years after this show.
 - Jani comes back and weighs in
 - The show sends a personal trainer to Willie's house to take him in for training. He gets mad and cusses the guy out and sprays him with a hose. The guy is persistent and eventually gets him to come along. Willie argues with the trainer guy at the weigh in and storms out. Gary Busey talks some sense into him and he comes back.
 - Contestants do a "Zorb" race. It's like a giant hamster ball that they have to run inside. Gary doesn't race. Sadness :(
 - Other contestants weigh in, including Gary
 - Toccara works out on a stripper pole
 - The rest of the contestants weigh in
 
Little People, Big World clip. A trip to the grocery store for the mom. The kid gets picked on at a party

Celebrity Fit Club
 - Contestants go through boot camp and must participate in an obstacle course
 - Gary and Toccara voted over to other team
 - Everyone else weighs in
 - Gary's new team wins the overall weigh in
 
(3:19:05)

Big Brother 6
 - The Sovereign alliance upset afer Jennifer breaks her word and nominates Rachel and Janelle
 - Howie wears a Speedo
 - Kaysar and Maggie celebrate their birthdays
 - Rachel wins Veto and saves herself
 - Kaysar put on block instead of James. OMG this made me so angry when I first saw this.
 
Rockstar INXS. The band picks songs for the contestants.
 - A recap of the songwriting challenge where JD breaks off from the group and creates Pretty Vegas
 - Jordis: Knocking on Heavens Door
 - Jessica: Torn
 - Ty: Maggie May
 - Susie: Bring It On Home To Me
 - Marty: Baby One More Time
 - Deanna: I Can't Make You Love Me
 - JD: As Tears Go Bye

Rockstar INXS results show
 - Mig's encore of Baby I Love Your Ways. He invites Marty and Jordis up to sing with him.
 - Susie is in bottom 3 and sings By My Side
 - Jessica: Mystify
 - Deanna: Never Tear Us Apart
 - Jessica goes home. Go figure this is the first week I actually liked both of her performances.

(4:48:14) 

Battle of the Network Reality Stars. This show is about a bunch of reality stars competing in silly physical events like obstacle courses and that kind of thing. Omarosa is one of the cohosts. Contestants include: Will Kirby, Burton Roberts, Charla & Mirna, Jonathan & Victoria, Richard Hatch, Sue Hawk, Nikki McKibbin, Will Wikle, Gervase Peterson, Wendy Pepper, and Mike Boogie
 - Teams meet each other for the first time and pick captains
 - I realize that this is the show where FTO found his Coral big boob avatar
 - Teams compete on the obstacle course and Team Coral wins
 - Dunk tank competition. This gets cut off in the middle though, because Big Brother came on

Big Brother 6.
 - Backlash against Kaysar's betrayal
 - Howie blows up against April and people fight, but we don't see hardly any because it keeps getting interrupted by stupid weather updates. I was so pissed when this happened.
 - J-Blow is interviewed in the HoH room
 - Kaysar is voted out again. So Sad :(
 - Weather updates keep cutting in. They end just in time to see Janelle win HoH.
 - Janelle nominates Maggie and Jennifer. This is where she says bye bye bitches.

(5:46:14) 

Kill Reality
 - Trishelle and Tonya hate each other, but they both like Johnny
 - The house stays up and parties but Tonya goes to bed because she needs the rest
 - Reichen films his straight love scene (which is also a death scene, haha)
 - Tonya breaks out in a poison oak rash or something
 - More Tonya/Johnny drama. Ugh, why is this episode all about her?
 - Preview of next week's episode

Random commercials
 
The Early Show story about plastic surgery for pets
