The TV Geek by Trashwire.com

If you like reality TV (or any of those trashy pseudo-reality shows) and you like blogging about reality TV, you might be just the person we’re looking for.

Trashwire.com has been growing by leaps and bounds over the past couple months and I haven’t had enough time to develop TheTVGeek to its full potential.

So, I’m looking for contributors.

If you watched every episode of I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here! and have been dying to put in your two cents about the Sanjaya/Holly relationship… if you already set your Tivo to record The T.O. Show on VH1… if you managed to watch Jesse’s return to the Big Brother house without puking… then you might be just the person I’m looking for.

Just use the contact form to shoot me an email and I’ll get back to you as soon as possible. If you’d prefer, you can also hit me up via Twitter (@trashwire) and let me know what you’re interested in contributing from updates to commentary to video parodies.

Here’s the extended trailer for VH1’s new reality series featuring the rejects from I Love New York, Flavor of Love and Rock of Love. I don’t even know what to say about this.

This post appeared on DListed.com today:

Whitney Thomson became the first plus-sized winner of “America’s Next Top Model” last night. It was pretty obvious. TyTy planned this shit from the beginning. She hatched out this plan over a steak dinner at “Houston’s.” Seriously, TyTy mentioned Houston’s last night and it got me excited for some reason.

Rich from FourFour has some interesting info on how Whitney got on the show. A source told him that Whitney never auditioned for the show. She was approached by someone from the show. That’s nothing new. I think many of the show’s skanks were approached instead of auditioning for the show.

The source said at the time, Whitney was already modeling as a size 2 or 4. The person from the show told her size 4 was a little too big to compete as a regular model on the show. They told her if she gained around 10-20 pounds they would put her on the show as a plus-sized model. FourFour has some pictures of a much skinnier Whitney. Through the entire season, Whitney cried about how hard it was for her growing up fat or whatever.

Whitney, who is a size 8 or 10, talked to People about how she’s embraced her curves, “Right before I left for the show, one of my best friends said to me, ‘You’re not going to go that far. You’re fat. Every week I would remember her saying that. And every week I was like, ‘In your face!’”

Yes, size 8 is considered “full-figured.”

Anyway, I’m glad Anna Nicole Whitney won.

I wouldn’t be surprised. With all the fuss Tyra et al. made over her being the first real size winner, the whole thing felt like a set up from the gate.

And for the record, Whitney does look a LOT like Anna Nicole.
