So, as a loyal “10 Most Fascinating” of the year watcher I was not thrilled with Barbara’s list. I love Barbara, always will, but really Barbara, Snooki?? Like what is this world coming to?!?!
The list is as follows
10) Betty White
9) Mark Zuckerberg
8 ) Justin Beiber
7) The Cast of the Jersey Shore
6) Sandra Bullock
5) Jennifer Lopez (seriously Barbara? seriously?)
4) LeBron James
3) Kate Middleton
2) Sarah Palin
1) General David Petraeus
As I was watching the special that aired on ABC last night I became increasingly disappointed as Barbara revealed her top 10. Betty White, OK fair enough. She’s old, she works, she’s lovable, hysterical, and has had a HUGE comeback year, I say she is worthy of the #10 spot.
Mark Zuckerberg fascinating? YES ABSOLUTELY. This man has started a phenomenon that is world-wide and has, and will forever change the face of social networking. With the film “The Social Network” bringing in $89,244,464 in the U.S. alone, Mark falls in at #9 but I think he is WAY more fascinating than some of the others on the list.
Then there is “The Beib.” As a Justin fan myself I certainly think he is worthy of the “most fascinating” list. Footage shown on the special revealed Justin’s baby years as a talented musician and convinced me that this kid is the real deal. Keep doing what you do Justin, we love you!!
That brings it to number 7, my second to least favorite on the list, The Cast of the Jersey shore. I have no interest in this show, nor do I care about their tanning eating or drinking habits. If I wanted to watch people get drunk and fight I would just make sure to plan a Spring Break trip this year.
Sandra, Sandra, Sandra. She has had a ROUGH year and yes she is still amazing, but would she really have been chosen if it weren’t for her scumbag husband cheating on her? Who knows.
Jlo. Oh My God, Jlo….seriously? I cannot even believe Jennifer Lopez made the list, never mind number 5!! What has Jlo done this year, when have you heard of her this year? The excuse is even worse, she made the list because she is the new judge of American Idol. BIG DEAL, nobody even watches that show anymore and even less will be tuning in without Simon there. I watched this when I was in high school for like three seasons, since then it has just been old news.
LeBron James is definitely a huge success, but I don’t really have any opinions about this one.
Kate Middleton!! Future Princess. Best choice EVER Barbara! So you are a regular college student going to school and a prince takes an interest in you. Not only is he a prince but he is shockingly handsome and son to beloved Princess Diana. Eventually he decides you are the one, proposes, gives you mommy’s ring and next thing you know you are marrying into the royal family. Is this not every girls dream? Kate, please don’t screw this up, and also your hair is fabulous.
Sarah Palin. For lack of a filter I will not comment too much on this pick. Let’s just say that if Sarah Palin were ever the president of the United States I would leave the country until the horror was over.
And last but certainly not least, General David Petraeus. This man is certainly fascinating and worthy of the number one spot on the list. A beautiful combination of humanity and strength General Petraeus is not only fascinating, but inspiring.
Well, that’s about it. It is what it is but I really hope Barbara comes up with better people next year. If I even see one trashy celeb on the list I will not be tuning in.
