Armed & Famous
"Armed & Famous" is back for the second night in a row. I hope this doesn't continue because I need a few days between my gun-wielding celeb moments. But now that they are cops, the real work begins. Let's get to it.
The new "recruits" continue to patrol the streets and keep the town of Muncie, Ind., out of harms way — um, OK.
WWE wrestler Trish is the first to detain some criminals. She helps restrain an angry man spewing obscenities. Trish may have a real career as a police officer after this show is over. She seems to be taking it the most serious, or as serious as she can.
Wee Man gets threatened by a shop lifter that she is going to call the "real police" when Wee Man tries to talk to her about shop lifting. Real police? Well, their partners are real police officers. That's the best we can do.
The best part of this show is Latoya Jackson, and as much as people make fun of her —and I did a little in the last blog — she really seems to care about the job and wants to get the work done. But she is so dainty and looks so fragile when she is asking people to keep their hands up. But the best is when Latoya has to go take a statement from one of the victims and refuses to because they have cats. I guess Latoya has a real cat fear. I won't even indulge my idea of why that is. Let your mind wonder.
Erik gets a request from an elderly lady to sign her boob! And when you think boob, it's not what you imagine — she whips out a fake boob and Erik goes ahead and signs it. Now that's keeping the town happy, Erik. Job well done.
At this point I am thinking, "Where the heck is Jack Osbourne? Did he quit the show or is he signing plastic boobs somewhere?"
All the celebs spend some "bonding time" with their partners. Erik hits the spa with his female partner while Wee Man shows off his skateboarding skills to his partner. (His partner was a good sport — he took some serious diggers but got right back up.) Latoya makes a very nice attempt at cooking dinner for her partner.
And I have to ask again, where the heck is Jack Osbourne? My prayers were answered and Jack finally shows up with a big task at hand: he has to apprehend an armed subject. Jack is the first one to get to pull out his gun — ha! I have to laugh at the way that sounds, sorry. Latoya braves a stray cat run in while trying to enforce a warrant. I think she is making progress with her cat fear, so you can rest well knowing that.
It looks like every episode will end with the group sharing their experiences of the night at a local diner. And that's a wrap. Until next time!
