Wednesday TV Hot List
July 1 2009, Published 1:49 p.m. ET
Hump day comes with a big dose of GROSS!
Starting off with back-to-back EWW!, Animal Planet brings us Eaten Alive, which graphically details how gnarly creatures like fly larvae, flatworms, viruses and bacteria can all live within the human body... eating away at it! Then, as if that wasn’t bad enough, they tag team it with the puke inducing new series, Monsters Inside Me… which is guaranteed to make you give up sushi forever BTW! The opening episode describes how a baby, a Vietnam vet, and a suburban father all suffered from deadly parasites that hid in their systems for months and even years! Yep. Just threw up in my mouth a little.
Next we move on to the Lord of the Flies-esque reality show, Survive This!, where a bunch of kids are dropped into the wilderness and must figure out how to… you guessed it… survive! So far the stress of eating hand caught frog’s legs and actually having to be outdoors (as opposed to being on the couch with a video game) is taking its toll. The tensions are mounting, the rations are getting low and a budding romance heats up!
And on Style’s special edition, Clean House: The Messiest House In the Country, Niecy Nash and her team go in search of the messiest house in the US… and unfortunately for them, they find it!
Notable mentions… Vivienne Tam serves as guest judge on The Fashion Show, and Denzel and the Jonas boys hang with Letterman.
