I'm obsessed with this Dutch show on MTV called The Trip. The premise is that 2 teams of 2 guys each, are provided with cameras and travel in Africa, from Victoria Falls to Capetown (or vice versa) with a starting budget of 250 euros each. The show phrase is "Twee teams, twee cameras, geen geld" (2 teams, 2 cameras, no money). I got hooked on it watching the 2 teams that travelled through Europe. You'd never think you'd get hooked on a show on which you barely understand the language, but there you go. The guys on the show are so funny, and they're total adventure travellers. We keep telling one of Kyle's friends to apply for it, but she's Australian with no Dutch whatsoever (which could make the show even funnier).

Dutch Idol (or Idols, as it's called here) is also down to like 3 or 4 competitors. I've pretty much stopped watching-- the ones that are left are the Worst Singers Ever, and they choose the worst songs, completely out of range. But, there's plenty of other trashy TV to watch, such as the awful Dutch version of What Not to Wear-- called the Mode Politie, where the last makeover I saw was nearly worse than how the girl started out. The girl was wearing the Fugliest Skirt Ever, with the worst shoes, and the show hosts were saying "Mooi, mooi! Fantastiche!" One of the hosts was wearing white plastic hoop earrings. Remember the shower curtain rings that John Candy sold those girls on Planes, Trains and Automobiles? Those. I don't know if the girl should've trusted someone like that with her makeover. My sister said that what they should do is take that girl, send her over to the What Not to Wear in the States, so they can makeover the makeover. :)
