Celebrity Zoo: Commentary on Starring: Da Brat, Christopher Knight, Joanie Lauer, Verne Troyer, Jane Wiedlin, Marcus Schenkenberg, Adrianne Curry
Episode
1: Nobody Puts Mini-Me in A Corner, Except Himself
Episode 2 - 01/16/05 I thought it was brilliant that
the show came up with a way to torture the celebrities by forcing them
to be responsible for human beings that weren't impressed by them. Like
Jane Wiedlin, I had to wonder what kind of parents would leave their kids
in the hands of people they didn't know. Maybe they thought the presence
of the cameras made them safe, but they should have taken note of how
the puppy was mistreated last season by Flavor Flav. We would never let
our puppy Hugs stay in that house, however we
do like to drive Hugs crazy by imitating Verne's drunken incoherent moaning
from the last episode. Hugs jumps on our heads when we do it. Coolia: It was interesting that on the morning after, Verne showed no remorse or embarrassment when told that he got naked and peed on the rug in his drunken stupor. I got the feeling it's not unusual for him. Apparently none of these celebs have kids, but they still had a pretty good attitude about the babysitting. I was glad to see Da Brat engage more with the roommates and the kids. She even helped clean up after the kids left. I guess she has decided to stop complaining to her agent and just go with it. Chris and Marcus didn't have much to do in this episode, and, unfortunately, they were mostly clothed. Jane was delightful, charming the kids with her face painting idea and helping with the clean-up. Adrianne showed some Ryan-Starr-drama-queen tendencies, overreacting when some of the whiny kids wanted to go home. But she did take the mission seriously and worked hard. I felt bad for Verne, when he said kids were often scared of him and it proved to be true. It seemed like the producers didn't anticipate that - or maybe they didn't care. I had to laugh when the celebs were just plain exhausted after a 4-hour work day of babysitting. Only Joanie was awake, until the wee hours, dancing around and practicing wrestling moves in her bikini, trying but failing to rouse her housemates. Her antics seemed a bit forced to me, just as fake as the WWE.
