Total Cheese

what is it about this over-the-top, laughfest that men find so addictive? every time it's on the adorable one has to watch, at least the last 30 minutes where the crowd is cheering for some guy they don't even know. it's so pathetic. i would feel bad for sean astin, but he's probably more famous for playing this underdog versus sam gamgee. and i'm sure the paycheck wasn't all that bad either.
