What A Celebrity Circus!
I forgot that Celebrity Circus was airing on NBC last night. Although, I already have pre-formed judgments about the show (such as — what were they thinking?!), I can’t help but be curious about it.
Celebrity Circus brings together stars who are well-known in other fields (and in the circus called Hollywood!). The show, hosted by Joey Fatone (is he not on every other 2nd rate reality TV series now, huh?), stars Antonio Sabato, Jr. - an actor and a Calvin Klein model, Blu Cantrell - singer, Christopher Knight - actor, Janet Evans - Olympian, Jason Acuna - actor, Rachel Hunter - actress/model and Stacey Dash - actress.
These celebrities first went on an intensive training with circus act experts before the show premiered. They learned how to balance, fly the trapeze, work the Chinese poles, dance with fire and do deathly stunts. Every Wednesday nights, they get to perform their acts live on television. And each week, viewers of Celebrity Circus will have to cast their votes for their favorites, American Idol style.
It’s no joke what these celebrities are doing and I’m pretty sure the training has been hard on their bodies… which is why I’d feel a little sorry for whoever goes home early.
While some quarters may think this show brings television to a new low, my grandfather reminds me that in the old, old days, the circus was the highest form of entertainment. But today though, the idea of pitting non-circus performers against each other in the name of it (entertainment)… I guess there lies the difference. Right?
I’ll try to catch one episode of this sometime.

How hard can it really be to join the Circus? I guess I will catch an episode to find out. I think it’s on Wednesday nights at 930pm. Can anyone confirm that?
