The 2002 Blowie Awards:
The Awards Ceremony

< NOTE: The only part of the following article that is undeniably real are the awards.

Greetings, ladies and gentlemen! Welcome to the first annual Blowie Awards presentation, sponsored by RealityTVWorld.com, your home on the Web for reality TV commentary. I’m your host, AyaK. I know that many of you were expecting to see Michael from Love Cruise, also known as shakes the clown, here in this role tonight. However, I have an unpleasant truth to reveal to you all: shakes was unable to write this summary because he suffers from performance anxiety. I know some of you women out there – Tomiko, Melissa, Jeanette – already knew that. He’s really turned into a sad case since he fell out of the reality TV limelight. I just saw him yesterday, screaming into the mirror, “I’m becoming the chessmaster on this Web site!” But look for him in his next TV role; he'll be teamed up with Bob Dole.

It’s quite a thrill to see so many people associated with reality TV in one room. Mark Burnett sends his regrets, though – he’s out scouting locations for Survivor 6: Surviving Club Med. He says he’ll be thinking of us while he sips down some Rusty Nails at poolside. Way to survive, Mark. And Jerry Bruckheimer from The Amazing Race couldn’t be here either. Seems that the security people were afraid to let him in after he told them that he was responsible for Armageddon and Pearl Harbor. Of course, with those two movies, it’s hard to know whether the bigger disaster was the one on the screen or the one in Bruckheimer’s office after the reviews came out.

Let’s move on to the main event for the evening: the Blowie Awards themselves. Here’s how the awards were selected. Any reality TV show that aired during the calendar year 2001 was eligible to be nominated. All members of the RealityTVWorld community were permitted to nominate individuals, performances and shows in every category. After the nominations were closed, a committee of senior individuals from the site selected for the top 5 in every award category except for Best Quote, which included 10.

After the nominees were selected, a voting poll was established to give all members of the reality TV online communities, not just the members of RealityTVWorld.com, a chance to vote on these awards. The leading vote-getter in each category takes home the Blowie. Not surprisingly, the number of votes cast exceeded all expectations. In addition, a few special awards have been granted by the powers-that-be at RealityTVWorld.com, to make sure that all worthy performances are recognized. The awards are named in honor of the first of the RealityTVWorld sites, SurvivorBlows.com, which is the oldest continuously-operating Survivor fansite on the Web.

Whew. That was even longer than one of Bryant Gumbel’s questions.

With no further adieu, let’s go straight to the first award of the evening: Best Drama Queen. These special people were responsible for a lot of the conflict generated and tears shed during the year. The five nominees are Bunky, from Big Brother 2; Kimmi, from Survivor: The Australian Outback; Lindsey, from Survivor: Africa; Lisa, from Love Cruise; and Toni, from Love Cruise. Uh, people, we are prepared for your reactions -- there are Kleenex available on each of your tables. And the Blowie will be presented to … Lindsey, from Survivor: Africa. Congratulations, Lindsey. See, we did notice more about you than just your looks and your body. ‘Course, any time you want to bicycle down the street naked again, feel free; we'd love to watch.

OK, while we wait for the losers to regain control of themselves, it’s time to present our first Special Award of the evening. The Audie Murphy Award is presented to a real-life hero involved with reality TV. The award is named for Audie Murphy, the most-decorated US soldier during World War II, including the Congressional Medal of Honor, who then became a famous actor. This year it is hauntingly appropriate to honor a man who excelled in both reality TV and in life. In the unreal world of reality TV, he won Murder in Small Town X. But in real life, he was a bigger star as a firefighter for the city of New York. On September 11, 2001, he gave his life while trying to save the lives of others within the World Trade Center. For that, he deserves the gratitude of us all. Ladies and gentlemen, please observe a moment of silence for the winner of Murder in Small Town X and the 2002 Audie Murphy Award, Angel, from Murder in Small Town X.

Thank you all. Bunky, for once it’s appropriate for you to cry. On with the Blowies.

Our next award goes to the people who make us all feel inadequate for only having the bodies that nature gave us. The nominees for Worst Cosmetic Surgery are Catherine, from Temptation Island 2; Nicole, from Big Brother 2; Tina, from Survivor: The Australian Outback; Team Playboy Extreme, from Eco-Challenge; and Toni, from Love Cruise. So we have four sets of boobs and one set of eyebrows competing for the prize. And the Blowie will be presented to … ooh, the eyes have it – it goes to Nicole from Big Brother 2. Guess all the boob jobs caused some cleavage among the voters, so to speak. Nicole, we hope you have been enjoying your husband's zucchini. Oh, and Toni, stop trying to fire those twin torpedoes at us! The viewing audience knows a real boob when it sees one, and it's looking at you.

The next two categories includes both the best performances that a reality TV show host can give and their polar opposites. Hosts can’t make or break a show, but they provide the glue that keeps all of the action hanging together. The nominees for Best Host are Anderson Cooper, from The Mole 1 and 2; Phil Keoghan, from The Amazing Race; Jeff Probst, from Survivor 2 and 3; Greg Proops, from Rendez View; and Joe Rogan, from Fear Factor. And the Blowie will be presented to … Jeff Probst, from Survivor. Congratulations, Jeff. I guess that makes the scorpion bite and the electric shock to your willie all seem worthwhile, doesn’t it?

Next, we have the nominees for Worst Host: Julie Chen, from Big Brother 2; Bryant Gumbel, from Survivor: The Reunion Show 2 and 3; Justin Gunn, from Love Cruise; Joe Rogan, from Fear Factor; and Mark Walberg, from Temptation Island 1 and 2. Well, Joe, here comes your second chance. You aren’t the best, could you be the worst? And the Blowie will be presented to … Bryant Gumbel, for Survivor: The Reunion Show. Bryant, come back here! You earned this fair and square, now you need to answer the tough questions! Oh well, I guess we now know who “the dumb one” really is, and it isn’t Amber, is it, Mr. Dumbbell?

Time to focus back on something funnier than a washed-up morning show host. Our next category is Funniest Contestant. These are the people who spent some of their time on reality TV making it more watchable with their antics and their jokes. Without them, it would be like watching some event where people behave like spoiled brats for no good reason. Yes, these people are all that prevent reality TV from becoming as dull as the Olympics! The nominees are Balloon Boy, also known as Recruit Yaney, from Boot Camp; Drew and Kevin, from The Amazing Race; Jeff V., from both Survivor: The Australian Outback and Cannonball Run 2001; Michael, from Love Cruise; and Will, from Big Brother 2. Uh, we know that Drew and Kevin are two contestants, and the category calls for one contestant. It says one boy, but here are two boys. But we weren’t sure how to split them apart. They’re a comedy team. It would be like asking people to pick Laurel over Hardy. So we left them together. And the Blowie will be presented to … Drew and Kevin, from The Amazing Race. Congratulations, guys. You’re gonna have to find a way to split this Blowie in half, because there is only one for both of you.

We’ve started to address the comedy element of reality TV, but most shows are remembered as much for their blunders as for anything. A stupid blunder will be talked about as long as the show goes on ... and maybe even longer! The nominees for Worst Contestant Blunder are Brandon breaks ranks, Survivor: Africa; Frank and Margarita assume they know Queens better than the taxi drivers, The Amazing Race; Michael inhales smoke and passes out, Survivor: The Australian Outback; Ogakor boots Kel, Survivor: The Australian Outback; and Team Guido gets a hotel room, The Amazing Race. And the Blowie will be presented to … Frank and Margarita assume they know Queens better than the taxi drivers, from The Amazing Race. Congratulations for losing The Amazing Race in your own neighborhood to a bunch of out-of-towners, team. Whassamatter, Frank, you don’t like to hear that? Well, we didn’t much like watching you abuse Margarita, so we’re even.

In addition to blunders by the participants in the show, another type of blunder can be made by the producers or by the network. These blunders usually lead to the show being much less than it might have been, or perhaps not being seen at all. Nominated in the Biggest Producer or Network Blunder category are Big Brother 2, for casting "Justin the Knife"; The Amazing Race, for having no running clock or cash totals; The Mole 2, for ABC’s decision to schedule a show that primarily appealed to young adults on Friday, a date night; Love Cruise, for adding a third couple, from the eliminated pairs, to the final vote; and Temptation Island, for selecting Ytossie and Taheed as one of the couples to be tempted despite the fact that they already had a child together. And the Blowie will be presented to … Big Brother 2, for casting "Justin the Knife". Hire a few background checkers for next time, OK, people, so that you can keep people with a history of violence off the show?

While we’re on the subject of blunders, we have a second Special Award to present. The Richard M. Nixon Award is presented to the person who made the greatest comeback on a reality TV show this year. It is presented in memory of the 37th President of the United States, known for disgracing himself and then ending up in the driver’s seat anyway. After Nixon lost an election for governor of California, he angrily told the press, “You won’t have Richard Nixon to kick around any more” --- but then, in his very next race, he won the Presidency. The person who best exemplified the Nixon spirit this year on reality TV was counted out for dead right from the start of the show. He became part of a universally-hated group known as ChillTown, whose members were voted off one after another until he was the last one left. But then, he hung around in the background and, in the best Nixonian tradition, openly lied and schemed his way back into the game. By the time the final vote came around, he easily won it all. Ladies and gentlemen, the Blowie Awards would like to present the Nixon Award to one of the most memorable people ever to grace your home TV screens, this year’s comeback kid, Will, from Big Brother 2.

We’ve covered humor, we’ve covered blunders, let’s turn our attention once again to looks. Nominees in the category of Best Hair are Bob, from Love Cruise; Bunky (for his back hair), from Big Brother 2; Drew and Kevin, from The Amazing Race; Ethan, from Survivor: Africa; and Crazy Tony (for his mohawk), from Love Cruise. It’s clear that Vidal Sassoon would not want to see any of these guys walk into his shop. And the Blowie will be presented to … Ethan, from Survivor: Africa. Ethan, now that you’ve got the million from Mark Burnett, do you think that you could buy some shampoo and wash those proto-dreadlocks away? Better yet, you could do it on a national TV commercial, with someone like Revlon or Clairol sponsoring it! You just know that Mark Burnett wouldn’t miss the chance for a product tie-in like that.

Viewers not only love to look at hair, but they also love to look at couples reacting to each other on the set. The nominees for Best Couple are Brandon and Frank, from Survivor: Africa; Colby and Colby’s Mom, from Survivor: The Australian Outback; Drew and Kevin, from The Amazing Race; Elisabeth and Rodger, from Survivor: The Australian Outback; and Jeff V. and Susan, from Cannonball Run 2001. And the Blowie will be presented to … Drew and Kevin, from The Amazing Race. Congratulations, guys, this award has a separate Blowie for each of you. Too bad you broke that last one in half. Now you have one-and-a-half Blowies each, though that half is pretty mangled. Looks like the rats from the temple in India were gnawing on it.

But the rest of you couples, don’t go away unhappy, because we have some lovely parting gifts for you. Brandon and Frank, we got you tickets to a Broadway show and dinner reservations in a candlelit restaurant afterward. Hope you have a swell time, fellows. Colby and Mom, we have the Aztek parked in back of the theater, and there’s one sleeping bag in it. That’s all you need, right? But look out, because I saw Blake and Paige from The Amazing Race 2 admiring the back of the Aztek earlier tonight.

One thing that viewers don’t like to see is a contestant who just complains and moans during his or her short stay on a reality TV show and can’t wait to get off. But we had a lot of them this year. The nominees for Biggest Waste of Space Contestant were Amber, from Survivor: The Australian Outback; Autumn, from Big Brother 2; Mitchell, from Survivor: The Australian Outback; Recruit Katherine, from Boot Camp; and Valerie, from Temptation Island. And the Blowie will be presented to … Mitchell, from Survivor: The Australian Outback. Mitchell, it’s hard to hide from the spotlight when you’re seven feet tall and actually beg to get booted from the show despite being in the dominant alliance. Stick to The Price is Right next time. Oh, and along with your Blowie, we’re giving you an apple, like the ones that you thought the production crew would give you if you got hungry. DON’T bite into it, dummy; it’s made of wax!

The viewing audience may not like contestants who are seen as a waste of space, but it likes sexy contestants. Both sexy men and sexy women bring viewers to the TV screens … though not always, as Temptation Island 2 proved. But this group did. The nominations for Best Heartthrob are Colby, from Survivor: The Australian Outback; Ethan, from Survivor: Africa; Hardy, from Big Brother 2; Rob, from The Amazing Race; and Silas, from Survivor: Africa. And the Blowie will be presented to … Colby, from Survivor: The Australian Outback. Colby, wait here for a moment.

The nominations for Best Sweetheart are Elisabeth, from Survivor: The Australian Outback; Emily, from The Amazing Race; Kim P., from Survivor: Africa; Melissa, from Love Cruise; and Tomiko, from Love Cruise. And the Blowie will be presented to … Elisabeth, from Survivor: The Australian Outback. Lis, Colby, it’s nice to see you together again. Could you give each other a hug for the cameras? Wait, that's not a good idea – we'd better get you two off the stage before all those single young men and women in the audience charge up here for their own pictures with one of you!

In addition to sex, game strategy is an important element of the reality TV game shows. Some people do it well, some don’t, and it's our duty to recognize both groups. Nominated in the category of Best Game Strategy are Colby and Tina, from Survivor: The Australian Outback; Hip Hop and Pop, from Cannonball Run 2001; Jim and Steve, from The Mole; Melissa and Michael, from Love Cruise; and Will, from Big Brother 2. And the Blowie will be presented to … Colby and Tina, from Survivor: The Australian Outback. Great seeing you again, Colby … but did you have a dramatic pairing with every woman on Survivor? Let’s see, we just saw you with your mom, then with Lis, now with Tina, and I have a sneaking suspicion that the woman you’re most closely associated with is going to be here shortly. She gave us these to pass along to you: a Hershey bar and a butcher’s knife. What do you think she could be hinting at? Uh, nice seeing you before you had to run for it, Colby! Remember, the Aztek’s out back!

The practical opposite of Colby and Tina’s secret first-day alliance in Survivor was pursued by this next group of nominees, who provide us with the roadmap of what NOT to do on reality TV shows if you want to win. Nominees for Worst Game Strategy are Amber, from Survivor: The Australian Outback; Brandon, from Survivor: Africa; Hardy and Nicole, from Big Brother 2; Silas, from Survivor: Africa; and Toni, from Love Cruise. And the Blowie will be presented to … Silas, from Survivor: Africa. Silas, you asked us all to write you the check, and here it is: it’s for ten cents, the cash surrender value of the Blowie, and about as much as your strategy was worth.

Something else that people want from reality TV are moments that they’ll remember long after the show has been forgotten. One such moment is commemorated in the Best Quote competition. Here, we’ll show videoclips of the sequences that preceded each of these great lines from the year 2001:

…..Drew, The Amazing Race: “I think my right testicle is rolling around in the streets of Beijing.”
…..Nick, Survivor: The Australian Outback: “I’m going to take a bath so that the whole tent doesn’t smell like ass.”
…..Michael, Love Cruise: “I’m sort of becoming the chessmaster on this boat.”
…..Jeff V., Cannonball Run 2001: “I’m with a boy named Sue and a girl named Kaya.”
…..Tom, Survivor: Africa: “If it’s a mental challenge, we’re screwed.”
…..Michael, Love Cruise: “It ain’t about trying; it’s about being white and Jewish.”
…..Colby, Survivor: The Australian Outback: “It was almost like a conjugal visit if you were a prisoner.”
…..Will, Big Brother 2: “Nicole and I have one thing in common; we’re both in love with me.”
…..Kevin, The Amazing Race: “Swing, you fat bastard, swing!”
…..A cameraman, Temptation Island: “Uhm, Billy, your life IS the show right now.”

And the Best Quote Blowie will be presented to … Kevin, from The Amazing Race, for “Swing, you fat bastard, swing!” Kevin, we hope that Drew doesn’t object to you getting an award without him, but we prepared something special just for him: a can of kerosene. We guarantee that the Blowie is three days older than the can of kerosene.

Along with memorable quotes, viewers like to see memorable moments. Nominees for Most Memorable Moment are Barramundi camp floods, from Survivor: The Australian Outback; Half the contestants switch tribes (“the twist”), from Survivor: Africa; Michael falls into the fire, from Survivor: The Australian Outback; Shannon cleans the toilet with Hardy’s toothbrush, from Big Brother 2; and Toni and Jeanette fight on the beach, from Love Cruise. All great moments in reality TV viewing. And the Blowie will be presented to … Michael falls into the fire, from Survivor: The Australian Outback. Michael, we’re very glad that you seem to be fully healed now. Just think of it as the revenge of the pig-god for hunting down little Porky.

In addition to these awards, we have another Special Award to present at this time. The Elvis Award goes to the most memorable contestant on reality TV this year. The winner of this award simply couldn’t be ignored, no matter what reality TV show you watched. He starred in the first half of Survivor: The Australian Outback, and many viewers felt that the show went downhill when he left. He starred as part of the featured team, The Castaways, on Cannonball Run 2001. He made a cameo appearance in the Big Brother 2 house. And he was always both snarky and hilarious, so it’s no wonder that all these shows wanted him. Plus, he had the best quote using a song title during the year – as well as being a dead-on description of the dynamics within The Castaways. Look for it among the Best Quote nominees. From that buildup, it’s obvious that the Elvis Award goes to the reigning “king” of reality TV, Jeff Varner. Congratulations, Jeff, you FINALLY WON something!

It’s time to turn our attention back to the other contestant awards. These awards go to people who did the best job of filling some of the classic roles of reality TV. The most classic role is that of the villain. As everyone from comic-book writers to politicians knows, you can’t have a truly heroic hero unless you have a truly evil villain. But the Enron people aren't eligible. The nominations for Best Villain are Jerri, from Survivor: The Australian Outback; Lex, from Survivor: Africa; Recruit Wolf, from Boot Camp; Team Guido, from The Amazing Race; and Will, from Big Brother 2. And the Blowie will be presented to … Team Guido, Joe and Bill, from The Amazing Race. Congratulations, guys, on what a great job you did of making enemies. Remember what Drew said: “Never push a lady.” Hope you behave nicer when you're out selling real estate!

To be a really great villain, you need someone to help in your schemes. Joe and Bill had each other, but our other villains weren’t so fortunate, and so they needed cronies to help them out. We want to take a moment to honor and reward those selfless contestants who gave up their integrity, honor, sense and chances to win – if they ever had any – to participate in the half-baked schemes of the villains. Nominees for Best Supporting Crony are Amber, from Survivor: The Australian Outback; Andrea, from Love Cruise; Lenny, from The Amazing Race; Mike, from Big Brother 2; and Mitchell, from Survivor: The Australian Outback. And the Blowie will be presented to … Amber, from Survivor: The Australian Outback. Amber, we don’t think you’re the dumb one, no matter what Bryant Gumbel says. Oh, and it’s nice to see that those huge tatas came back once you gained back some of the weight you lost in the Outback.

We’ve finally reached the “big four” at the Blowie Awards. First comes Least Favorite Contestant. This award is self-explanatory. Nominees are Andy, from Temptation Island; Jerri, from Survivor: The Australian Outback; Julie, from Real World/Road Rules Challenge; Nicole, from Big Brother 2; and Toni, from Love Cruise. And the Blowie will be presented to … Jerri, from Survivor: The Australian Outback. Jerri, put that stupid butcher knife down –- Colby already left. Why don’t you and Amber go talk about meatball sandwiches and chocolate? Or, better yet, go criticize other people’s cooking while you just sit around on your butt yourselves. Oh, look, there’s Lou Diamond Phillips. Why don’t you go see if he remembers you?

The next award is Favorite Contestant. Just think of these people as Jerri’s opposites. Nominees are Ethan, for Survivor: Africa; Jeff V., for Survivor: The Australian Outback and Cannonball Run 2001; Kevin, for The Amazing Race; Michael, for Love Cruise; and Will, for Big Brother 2. And the Blowie will be presented to … Kevin, from The Amazing Race. Kevin, that’s some haul you’ve had here tonight. Let’s see, two individual Blowies and two shared with Drew. I’d have to say that your team was the people’s choice. Oh, and the Addams Family called; Uncle Fester needs his haircut back.

As we move to overall show awards, we have the last of the Special Awards to present. The RTW Award goes to the most memorable show from the prior year, in the opinion of the selection panel. This year, the panel’s vote was unanimous. No other show gave us all of the following: sexy contestants, wildlife hunting, warm relationships, natural disasters, athleticism, dangerous animals, betrayal, and even a little hint of incest. For all of that, the RTW Award for the most memorable show goes to Survivor: The Australian Outback. Mark Burnett, wherever you are, this one is for you. We may hate you sometimes for your deliberately misleading promos, but you have taken the model of reality television and pushed it to the next level.

However, some other people have pushed that same model right down the toilet. For them, we have our next award, Worst Overall Show. The nominees are Boot Camp (Fox); Chains of Love (NBC); Lost (NBC); The Mole (ABC); and Murder in Small Town X (Fox). And the Blowie will be presented to … Chains of Love, executive producer Endemol Productions (NBC). What, doesn’t anyone from Endemol want to accept this award? Hey, if you want credit for your successes like Big Brother, then you should own up to your failures too.

Time for the last award of the evening. Best Overall Show. Here is a clip of each of the nominees:
…..The Amazing Race, executive producer Jerry Bruckheimer (CBS);
…..Bands on the Run, executive producer VH1 Productions (VH1);
…..Big Brother 2, executive producer Endemol Productions (CBS);
…..Eco-Challenge, executive producer Mark Burnett (USA Network);
…..Survivor: The Australian Outback, executive producer Mark Burnett (CBS).
Great shows, all. And the Blowie will be presented to … The Amazing Race, executive producer Jerry Bruckheimer (CBS). Congratulations, Jerry, for making an entertaining show out of the classic “race around the world” concept.

Well, that’s it for the 2002 Blowie Awards … except that we have ONE MORE Special Award. This one is called the Skunk Award. Ugh, I can already see people moving away from it. The Skunk goes to the show with the most nominations but not a single victory. The show that is about to be dishonored with it received the second-highest total of nominations, 18, but failed to even come close to a single victory. Ladies and gentlemen, the winner of the 2002 Skunk Award is Love Cruise, and accepting for Love Cruise will be shakes the clown. Oh, wait a minute, shakes already left? Why, did he and Bob Dole have to go take a pill before watching the new Britney Spears commercials? It figures. Well, we’ll just shove this lovely stinker into his favorite pair of oversized shoes until he comes back.

And that, ladies and gentlemen, concludes the 2002 Blowie Awards. Thanks for all of your time and attention during the past year. And please stay with us now on RealityTVWorld.com for the full coverage of the current reality hits Survivor: Marquesas, The Amazing Race 2, and Combat Missions, plus coverage of any other reality TV shows that catch your fancy!
