Poolies Watch- 'Crazy' James Zinkand Award

The 'Crazy' James Zinkand Award is given each year to the contestant you most love to hate on a reality competition series. Last year's group of nominees were quite terrible, but this year seems to be overflowing with awfulness and we're only halfway through the reality tv season. With plenty of awful Idol contestants and new seasons of Survivor and Amazing Race on the way, there will definitely be plenty of room for reality contestants that I want to punch in the face.

Of the six contestants that I have topping the list at this point, two I kinda fell bad about. Lisa Leslie is a famous celebrity. She didn't go on The Superstars because she wanted to get famous and show off in front of America. The producers asked her to be on this show because she was a professional basketball player. When she accepted, how was she supposed to know that she was one of the worst human beings on the planet? Do you think she knew that she would be the most annoying person on the series? No, but she was and I kinda felt bad about it.

Gramma Lee is really old. So old that she might have passed away since the airing of America's Got Talent finished in September. That didn't stop me from wanting to slap her across the face every time she got up to do her ridiculously awful stand-up routine. What made everything that much worse, which is always the case on these televised talent shows, is that the judges and America liked her! Every time she got praised from Piers and the Hoff, or she made it through another round, I would absolutely lose it!

And then we come to the awfulness that was the group of idiots that were on Big Brother this summer. Big Bro always seems to get a group of contestants that rub me the wrong way. It's never one or two. It always seems to be a bunch. Last season it was old man Jerry, April and Michelle; this time it all begins with the terrible Natalie, then moves down to the wicked Chima, and Ronnie, and finally Lydia, who is in danger of not making the list because there were so many terrible people on tv this summer and fall.

Topping the List
Chima Simone- Big Brother
Gramma Lee- America's Got Talent
Lisa Leslie- The Superstars
Natalie Martinez- Big Brother
Ronnie Talbott- Big Brother
Shambo Waters- Survivor Samoa
