The ACTUAL worst show ever made. 

In 7th grade I was voted class president and was really happy and surprised when they announced the results and then when I went to the front to say thank you, a classmate stood up and yelled "HAHAHA WE JUST PRANKED YOU, NO ONE WOULD REALLY WANT U AS A CLASS PRESIDENT HAHAHAHA ITS A JOKE" but the teacher didn't understand what that was supposed to mean and we couldn't retake them anyways so instead it was just a really awkward year for me. This show feels like my school bullies grew up and decided to bring their combined creativity on live television

yeah this show just felt like i was in middle school again getting bullied for being 'weird' lol, i was physically cringing at how awful these people are

I was serious vibing with him

@@commando_barrage501 Right? He was hella on key and had rhythm. Both contestants could be successful in entertainment in their own ways and it's so brutal to think about how this like.. Humiliation affected them. They both literally do have entertainment abilities, let alone terrible, nobody deserves this.

Dude if he held a concert I’d go, I was vibing every time he did his little dances with the songs

All kinds of musicians look nerdy. Looking nerdy is actually an asset with some audiences. Songs like "Creep" don't go down nearly as well if you're handsome. The second guy was just nervous, he needs to learn to let go and sell himself.

lets be honest he doesnt look "nerdy" bro looks legit scary. he seems really nice though and i do feel for him.

It feels like they were making the show up as they went along and had pull the make-a-wish thing out of nowhere. I refuse to believe they had the forethought to think that up from the start

This was pretty bad the whole time but when the make a wish kid part came up i was like holy shit thats awful, but fucking hilarious

I know but I prefer 00s Tv than the garbage we have today that try to push down our throuts diversity and political messages. Like Im mexican and I understand that not every friend group has 1 person of each race.

Bc it is

one i learned as an adult. probably the biggest thing i wish i could go back and tell my younger self. i respect that you were able to learn that rather than internalizing how they were treating you

My whole life my dad has been telling really inappropriate jokes, sarcastic humor targeted at one person or a group people whether it be racist, sexist, or homophobic. He’s the type of person who, when you say your going out with friends “jokingly” responds, “I didn’t know you had friends?!” I spent a lot of my life pretending to laugh at jokes like these. I was a teenager, he was an authority figure and I didn’t know how to stand up to him. Slowly as I got older I would make my laughter more and more fake, trying to make it obvious that I didn’t actually find these jokes funny. Several years ago I started not laughing. Often times this is met with something like “Oh come on, I was just joking!” To which I almost always calmly say “I know I just don’t find it funny.” Where things go from there typically varies, sometimes he doubles down on his just joking, sometimes he “apologizes” and says he needs to stop joking; his apologies almost always include a but, never include attempting to stop the behavior, and typically include chastising me for getting upset in the first place, it’s something I guess. Lately though, his response is defensive again, like “I don’t get what’s the problem; I’ve always been like this.” This brings me to the main point of my story, I highly regret spending most of my life pretending to laugh when my dad was making jokes at mine and other people’s expense because now he thinks the problem is with me, not with him because I “suddenly” changed and started having a problem with him even though he’s always been this way. I implore everyone out there, if you don’t find something funny, have the courage not to laugh.

@@MaryAlice08 he sounds funny to me

@@MaryAlice08 the "I didn't know you had friends" joke is funny. Though if you were bullied and didn't have friends for a while I could see it could hit a nerve.

@@em84c well first I’d say I think a lot of people probably felt bullied and alone at some point in their lives. Also young kids don’t really understand sarcasm, you can explain that it’s a joke and not serious but it’s still likely to effect them when you’re poking fun at their weaknesses and insecurities. I think whether or not you have friends, especially when you’re a kid, the insecurity that you’re unlikable is a common one. Also I’m not exaggerating when I say he says this every time anyone says something involving the concept of friends. All 30+ years of my life. I honestly don’t understand how *he* still finds it funny the billionth time.

Yeah, I think she had potential if she just had some lessons and some more experience. This show is just super cruel though.

i thought the same, she has potential but she doing too much with her voice.

yeah she wasnt even that bad, just needed to work on vocals, appearance, pitch, tone, range, dancing lessons, choreography, acting, voice and her tempo!! bruh anyone on this show could "probably be fine in no time" if they took proper lessons. tf.

@@newp0rtyou just said she wasn’t bad then listed 10 things bad about her 😂 she’s not talented, it’s ok to admit

I wouldn't even be mad tbh

literally

I've heard they did lie on hot or not saying it was a modeling show, but I don't know how true it was

The show was fake. Pretty much all of the "reality" tv shows in that era were fake. The blonde girl that "won" is an actress. In the same year she was in an episode of NYPD Blue.

Its hella funny

The fact that we also still have pageant shows is to me an argument we (or media) have learned nothing from mistakes like Hot or Not, and similar shows.

So sociopathic

Lmao

Yeah agree. I am worried about how they are doing. They did not deserve any of this.

@Jackson Five ok

Idk I feel bad for both of them. But the girl is conventionally hot and super outgoing so she probably has had a better time in life in general. The guy is kind of a funky looking shy dude so I imagine he hasnt had as easy as a time, socially. Just making assumptions, but it's sad either way.

@@Goat.Cheese well those 'outgoing ' people you see probably base more of their happiness on other people and the fact that all these ppl did this , is gonna be traumatic.

@@Goat.Cheese Just because someone is conventionally attractive and appears outgoing does not mean they will handle this better. She could've been suicidal before the show and we would've never known.

@@TonyStark-kd5ti her life still was better than his before the show, he looks like he dealt with enough shit to not care what's happening, she thinks she's a great singer when she could just record herself and hear she's not, they both got themselves in that situation.

FR that’s so fucked up.

Or in their case, not being talented but actually having the will to learn and get better and you get put in this shit.

There's usually a lot of self doubt most creators have, and so this could totally happen

If you let some c-list “celebrities” crush your dreams that easily, I reckon you didn’t have the juice to begin with. 🤷🏻‍♀️

And then you find out months later what the competition actually was.

Thank you!! How long after this show was this? If you know. I wonder if she still feels the same.

@@fxerie the article I found said this interview was basically right after she won the show-she was signed to a record company as apart of the prize buuuut they never released the CD and I guess she just fizzled out of obscurity :,) I honestly found a bigger online footprint on Mario than I could Jamie besides a few nameless, extra roles she’s done here or there on her IMDB so I guess she’s still chasing stardom!

Mario sucks irl too as I can see lmao Typical Reddit user

I'm so glad neither committed suicide...

Mario would KILL at a supportive karaoke bar. Total vibe

Nah. She just has 0 contr so the tones were random.

Its also mental health day

@Pearl Goldenberg oyy

Mental health is important when these people got bullied world wide lol

We need it. Please help.

^^^^This^^^^

*kim k voice* Its what they deserved. 😌

i thought the same thing , even if it sounds crazy i’m surprised not one person tried to go after them after being completely humiliated infront of millions of people watching

"What do you get when you cross a tone-deaf blonde girl with an audience that laughs at her and treats her like trash? You get what you fucking deserve!" And then she tries to hit Mariah Carey notes or something and everyone dies of second-hand embarrassment.

No. This is dinner for schmucks. Literally dinner for schmucks. Good movie. Steve Carrell, Paul Rudd, Zach Galifianakis. Rich dudes plan a dinner for losers just to make fun of them. It ends better than this show that’s for sure.

Maybe that one guy's buddy Eric was on this show.

i think the funniest thing about it is that its not brian mcfadden from westlife, its clearly just an american guy with a similar name and it took them way too long to realise

@@abaighmartin8358they look pretty similar tbh

TV content was really like that, and also in teen movies and shows there was such an admiration for the mean girl, Blair Waldorf / Regina George were popular characters.... Everybody knows they're mean but for kids it was so cool back then i remember it well, overall it was mean as hell, we've gotten better now but there's so many other issues we didn't have so i guess it's life

Also I'm pretty sure the prize of a record deal for hundreds of thousands of dollars was real and she did get to record it. Of course it didn't go anywhere, but she definitely got a better deal out of it than the other finalists. If she had been serious about pursuing music she could have saved that money, developed her voice for a couple years and then make a sweet comeback as a country chick - she did have the looks and charisma.

@@DodaGarcia awe, well that’s nice to know!

That's what I thought too

i thought the same thing. i was thinking that she was too good to continue with the show

the first song was definetly better, but its clear she also cant hold a pitch or rythmn

exactlyy its strong too

they could have made this a genuinely good show by taking these "bad singers" and then spend the rest of the show training them, to see how much they could improve over time with real singing and performing lessons Even if you dont start out amazing you can always become better and that girls issues were with pitch so definitely fixable. It would have been a cool journey to see

🤣🤣🤣

💀 😂 this deserves all the likes

YOU TAKE THAT BACK HES SENSITIVE

shhhhhhh

@@bluephoenix2783 oh sorry, you take that back he’s sensitive

Ok thebadpoet

I thought she wasn’t that bad like idk she did just need training

Exactly what I was thinking. She also seemed like a really nice girl. A lot of the folks on American Idol have bad voices AND big egos, so they seriously need to be taken down a few pegs. But the girl and guy on this show did not deserve any of this! I almost cried at the end during the reveal, it was so brutal : (

As a singer, she was stylistically awful and her singing My Heart Will Go On? Totally started off in the wrong key and that’s not even the worst part. It’s one thing if you sing the right notes in the wrong key but she was completely off and clearly tone deaf. Even with that small chance that you could train her voice, you can’t fix the fact that she’s tone deaf

@@TooSeriously LOL LOL LOL

Why are ur comments in every yt video I watch wtff

Totally, like she wasn’t that bad in the first round

Plus, the guys on stage performance wasn’t terrible. At least he was on key and had rhythm. I can’t deal with how much lying they were willing to do because they wanted to make a tv show

Yeah I think her technique (going too deep and holding onto every other word) was what made her sound messy but she could be good at a Cher/Christina Agulera type low voice singer. I’m not musically trained at all so don’t know how to properly describe it 😭

I actually really liked her, too

anyone can sing country

Wasn’t it exposed for being a scam like two years ago? Lol

There was one very similar where kids with a stutter were told they didn’t have a stutter to see if it improved and kids without a stutter were told they had one to see if that’s what caused them.

@@Zimzamzoom95 as a neurodivergent girl, the girl is also showing traits, but they are harder to identify as she is a girl. This whole thing is just fucked

@@noemiv8248 she’s also a human being and it’s also fucked up because she’s a real human. Jfc. armchair psychologists are the worst

Yeah, its a huge self-steem hit right there

I sat there in shock over her performance, her being tone-deaf has everything to do with why they couldn’t fix it

I’m laughing at both

Dude for real. They just took the audio straight from the microphone. No reverb or compression or anything. Makes sense though, they’re obviously trying to make them sound as bad as possible.

right! like come on help the girl out no instruments or anything like bruh

LMAO

I completely forgot about this part! Good lord...

That KILLED me

Honestly I'd watch that show

No I 100% agree with this, most people (including Cody and Kelsey) saying not feeling bad for the girl is probably because she is attractive and had a positive attitude towards things. What happened to her is equally (or comparably worse) bad compared to the guy. What a horrible thing to do to a human being :(

i agree what they did to her was equally as bad as what they did to him. but to only feel bad for him bc he’s unattractive is sexist because it’s just treating her as an object to laugh at rather than an actual person who would hurt by all of this just as equally as a man

Agreed! That kind of upset me because I couldn't stop thinking how much genuine trauma this must have caused the girl, why wouldn't we feel terrible for her?

@@okaytessa2481 I think we generally assume that attractive people will be fine because they always have their looks to fall back on. But we forget that everyone is equally human, regardless of how they look, and attractive people experience just as much trauma as the rest of us.

The reason they felt bad for the guy more had nothing to do with looks its just that the guy was more humble than her she called herself a star at 4:58 which is cocky while he didn't really say anything. I mostly feel bad for her because of the disgusting things the judges were saying.

0 Or watching this as a child with dreams getting into that line of work. Lol

Mario? Yeah he was the saddest case, bc like 5 years later he was still lurking in forums justifying himself and saying he was set up to make his voice look bad when he's truly a good singer. It's depressing.

yeah me too because who couldnt tell that he 100% struggled in life and then this happened to him :( I hope he is okay even if this happened to him

@@DodaGarcia he wasn't actually bad tbh. Wasnt offkey or anything.

@@DodaGarcia damn that’s so sad holy shit

@@DodaGarcia what forums? Are they still around? I wonder what he’s up to today

I replayed that like 5 times lmaoo

She knew what she was doin lol, she don't want smoke with Ascorbic Acid

I feel like they’d never want to sing again after this experience

Personally I think the concept would have been better if they chose people who couldn’t sing and taught them how to by the end of the season or something. Much more impressive than insulting them or making a good singer a better one.

and give them the houses they made them look around

nah like the vocal coach comes gives em a lesson and like goes to a different room while the singer learning is still close by and talks shit about her and the singer learning hears. or the vocal coach just like yells at em for being so shit

Sadly, she’d be able to make good money on OnlyFans after a show like that now.

Because reality TV in the 2000s was weirdly experimental and seemingly in a secret competition in who could sink the lowest in terms of downright humiliating their contestants.

I feel like they were particularly cruel to Mario in that sense. They kept telling him to sex it up and so he would do things like dance around in tighty whities for the camera like Tom Cruise in Risky Business. He was easily the one most humiliated by the show.
