Well I will say I posted "new season starts Thursday" on the Dr. Drew "Sex Rehab" thread and a poster explained that it was going to be a new season for "Celebrity Rehab" and she nicely linked this thread to me.
Soooo I am guessing YES!!!!
I do try and watch these shows. I think they can be educational but they are quite exploitative. I hope they are not representative of what Dr. Drew usually does. The lack of confidentiality practically destroys the program.
Sure, but remember, this is a TV SHOW! And the participants are paid to be on it. The participants don't expect any confidentiality, how could they? They know they're being watched every moment by cameras and millions of people. And it's meant to be entertaining. It's not like we're sitting and watching a private therapy session.
And having said all that, I agree that these shows are educational, and I also think that they have raised people's consciousness a bit, in the sense that people with similar types of addictive problems can identify with the participants, and perhaps see that things are not hopeless, that there is help of some kind available for them.
With this cast, it's starting to feel too much like The Surreal Life. I may take a pass.
Anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that 'my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.' - Isaac Asimov
I was thinking of the immortal words of Socrates, who said, "... I drank what?"
Here's the list from Wiki:
Mackenzie Phillips - actress
Mindy McCready - country music singer
Kari Ann Peniche - beauty queen and subject of a Playboy pictorial
Lisa D'Amato - model and TV personality
Joey Kovar - alumnus of The Real World: Hollywood
Tom Sizemore - actor
Heidi Fleiss - famous American madam
Dennis Rodman - basketball player
Mike Starr - former Alice in Chains bass player
Considering the fact that Heidi Fleiss had a restraining order against Sizemore for domestic violence, I'd say this has disaster written all over it. Add MacKenzie Phillips, Kari Ann and Dennis Rodman to the mix and it's an official train wreck. The rest of cast will only make Lisa look normal.
