There was at least one important finale on TV last night – who would win season three of The Celebrity Apprentice?

Bret Michaels was in the final two (with Holly Robinson Peete), and appeared live despite finding himself back in the hospital last week due to recent complications following a massive brain hemorrhage last month. And he won it all.

This has all the makings of a great media hoax, though so far, it appears to actually be a real plan. Australian filmmaker Justin Sisley is currently producing a reality TV program that alleges to “sell off” three virgins to the highest bidder. According to a casting notice, the show calls for “our camera (to) follow the principal cast as they shed their virginity to a complete stranger in front of a worldwide audience.”

I’ve been reading and re-reading the story of the “crashers” and all of the related stories about Reality TV, and something just isn’t right. While the couple is described as auditioning for a Bravo TV series, and Bravo goes out of their way to say that, there won’t be final casting decision for “months”. But in my experience, t Shat just isn’t how Reality TV works.

First, a bit of history.

During last night’s “Real Housewives of New Jersey” reunion special, it got real (well, more real than usual) when host Andy Cohen stepped in to express his personal opinion about one of the housewives’ husbands loose use of the term “gay” as an insult. “I’ll jump in, and I have no business jumping in, but I’m gay, and I thought it was offensive,” said Cohen. “I mean, I just want to say…I think it was offensive.” It may not be a coming out – but it’s noteworthy, considering the glass ceiling the exec/host is about to break.
