The Great American Dream Vote-Not so much the "Dream Show"


OK, I guess I shouldn't use this as a platform to complain...but why did they invent this show?

It would be good if the people with realistic, meaningful dreams would win.
This show has only been on for a week, and in the first week the final two for American to vote on was a guy who wanted a hair transplant,because he was 22 and looked like he was in his 40s. The second contestant was a girl who wanted to build a rescue shelter for basset hounds that were old.

I sympathize with the guy who was losing his hair, but it's genetics, everyone has something about themselves that they don't like. I felt like the girl who wanted to build the home for the dogs had a whole lot more worthy of a dream and that she'd be shoe-in to win.

Well I was wrong.

Guess who America picked, the guy with a receding hairline....What is up with that? I know his dream is valid and it's what he wants, but wouldn't it have been more rewarding to help something that can't help themselves, like the dogs. That guy can save the money up to buy the hair transplants, but the dogs can't build themselves a rescue home. I know the girl who wanted to build the home, can save up the money just like the guy can do with his hair.

I just feel like the amount of unwanted pets that are out on the streets far outweighs his need for hair.


The show, after only airing two episodes, has been pulled off the air by ABC. The ratings were so low, that it was in fourth behind NBC's Friday Night Lights. I guess America didn't "catch the dream."
