Where do they find these people?

I personally think casting directors on reality shows have their work cut out for them and they sure deliver. This was proved even further on last night's episodes of Trading Spouses: Meet Your New Mommy and I Want To Be A Hilton. Particularly, on the Hilton show where they have assembled the most eclectic group of folks I have seen on a reality show since the first season of Survivor.

You have Ann, an Asian beauty who is a former Miss Tampa and will sing like she is channeling Celine Dion at inappropriate times especially when someone is talking or when she sees Kathy Hilton within earshot. When she started singing Wind Beneath My Wings in the middle of Yvette's babble at the elimination meeting, both B and I laughed so hard that we had stomach pains. Here is Yvette talking to Ms Hilton and trying to save herself and Ann just cuts in with her rendition of Bette Midler's song. Wow. Ann always had a flair for the dramatic with her pageant smile and big hats. She will be missed.

Now Yvette, the other contestant eliminated in last night's episode will NOT be missed by me. Damn, it was 3 weeks too late...she should have been eliminated in week one. Her constant lying, short skirts, and "it's all about me" attitude drove me and Latricia nuts. Speaking of Latricia...love her. Yes, she is a little rough around the edges and not exactly the expert on etiquette but the girl is brutally honest and endearing. You want to root for her because you know that winning this show could dramatically change her life. Now, let's hope the other team starts losing so we can trim the "fat" there as well. There are a few people I'd eliminate just for being too bossy. Why is it people come on this show and immediately want to take over and be the leader? Haven't they learned yet that being a leader or being bossy puts a target on your back? Don't these people watch reality TV before going on a show? It never ceases to amaze me.
