Dogilicious

I admit it – right now I’m watching Pussycat Dolls Present: Girlicious (Episode: Kitchen Confrontation).

And while I’m on the subject, I’ll admit that last season I watched The Pussycat Dolls Present: The Search for the Next Doll. And I loved it.

In fact, Robin Antin could make a show about practically anything and I would watch it - so long as it involved legwarmers, dancing and one girl who was woefully ill-equipped to “embody this week’s theme of sexiness.”

It's pretty obvious - I love reality TV. I really do.

But even I can’t get into this:

Ready, Set ... Groom! Animal Planet Premieres The Top Dog Of Reality Shows With Its Newest Series, GROOMER HAS IT, Hosted By Jai Rodriguez

It’s bad enough that I already spent several hours of my life watching Sheer Genius on Bravo. But at least that was about styling people.

And I can’t be sure, but I bet they didn’t put out a press release with a lead like this:

"Animal Planet enters the world of doggie style with the premiere of its new competition series, GROOMER HAS IT."

Yep, they thought that was a good idea.

I shouldn’t be too surprised.

After all, they also thought of this made for a good premise for a TV series:

"Hosted by Emmy award-winning actor and singer Jai Rodriguez("Queer Eye for the Straight Guy"), GROOMER HAS IT sniffs out 12 of America's most devout dog groomers to compete against each other in a test of desire, creativity and affinity for animals as they shave, shear and shampoo their way through a series of challenges that will crown only one as "Groomer of the Year."
