Today's Blind Items
I guess this guy is a reality show host. The show is not really scripted although it does manage to usually bring out the tears. Anyway, the host likes to make it seem like everything on the show is all his idea when actually it is a team of people and he shows up for five minutes and takes the credit. He is also trying to sell the ideas that the other people have created and pass them off as his own.
Ty Pennington?
ReplyDeleteAgreed~ Ty the Twat!
ReplyDeleteAgreed - Ty FTW.
ReplyDeleteTY!
ReplyDeleteI would guess Ty also. I actually love Ty!
ReplyDeleteI never believed Ty came up with any ideas. I always got the feeling he just shows up to grin for the camera.
ReplyDeleteBut I dont' mind when he takes his shirt off!
eep. ryan? i mean he's dipped his hand at producing and constantly has projects lined up...
ReplyDeleteTy was the first one to come to mind because of the tear factor.
ReplyDeleteI stopped watching the show because I got sick of crying on Sunday nights. Ty used to (supposedly) have all sorts of ideas for the surprise room.
TY WAS THE FIRST AND ONLY NAME THAT POPPED INTO MY HEAD...
ReplyDeleteThis one seems too obvious and I thought of Ty before I even finished reading.
ReplyDeleteNot even blind. Between the unsure hosting, and "tears", and project building, it's pretty obvious.
ReplyDeleteHe also has a line of home accessories at Sears, which would explain the last sentence.
The host from cheaters?
ReplyDeleteHold the presses! McSteamy and Gayheart have a sex tape?!!!
ReplyDeleteLOL@Kaarn
ReplyDeleteLOL@Moo
Mooshki--it's really dull. I was hoping we'd at least see Rebecca shooting up her smack. No sex, just stupidity.
ReplyDeleteGet it RIGHT, people!
I immediately thought of Ty Pennington, too. They recently built a home in my area, and I was shocked at how little actual time he spent at the site. Flew out after the initial surprise and flew back in for the big reveal. That's it.
ReplyDeleteI had no idea who Ty Pennington was until I looked him up.
ReplyDeleteThere was a house built in our area too, last summer - I think. A gal I work with went down there several times to the site, and mentioned that Ty never worked on the project, just 'worked the crowd' and then disappeared into his trailer or what have you. I don't watch the show often but he does appear to be the one taking alot of the credit for the creative ideas, etc.
ReplyDeleteTy Pennington. His show built a house in my rather small town a year ago, and he was reputed to be a giant asshole--really rude to the locals who worked steadily on the construction site. Jackass.
ReplyDeleteI have a friend working with Ty right now, it's him.....makes me wonder even more about Enty's identity.....I think I know you dude!
ReplyDeleteBigMama - don't let the secret out! Well, except to me, of course. ;)
ReplyDeleteTy. Used to like him on Trading Spaces. Now, not so much.
ReplyDeleteMooshki...I thought you knew who enty is.
nope, already asked. The comment I got was "I think I have heard of that site, I should go check it out" but I still find it suspect!
ReplyDeleteYEAH, I finaly know one!!!
ReplyDeleteSo.... TY!!!
My day has just been made!
Sunnyside, no. :( I know bits and pieces about him, but not his real name. I also know two people who know for sure who he really is, and neither of the bitches will spill the slightest hint. (I kid! I love you gals!!! And you've more than proved Enty's trust in you.)
ReplyDeleteThat sounds like more proof to me BigMama. The key to being a good lawyer is learning to avoid commited answers
ReplyDeleteYup, it's Ty all right. I still like him and his magazine has had some good ideas. I wonder if his assholedom comes from his drinking. Hope he's kicked that habit. (Don't worry, Enty, because he gets the cure that means more for US!!!! Cheers!!!!)
ReplyDeleteLiz, I agree, that sounds like exactly what I'd expect him to say if asked that. He's very good at deflecting direct questions. :)
ReplyDeleteThey pay him how much for that???
ReplyDeleteTy was my one and only guess, and it's been a couple of years since I watched that show.
Bob Vila?
ReplyDeleteJust kidding...but he originally made showing up the at the jobsite and "looking busy" for all of 3 minutes famous!
Yep, I'll triple-dog-ditto the Ty guesses. He always takes credit for the "special room" in the houses.
ReplyDeleteTy seems too obvious a choice to me. I never got the impression that he did anything other than host the show and yell into the blowhorn. I knew he did the "special room" but I never thought he actualy "did" anything to build it. I think he did do an honest days work on Trading Spaces though.
ReplyDeleteI thought Ty too and I don't even watch any reality. I remember him from Trading Spaces.
ReplyDeleteI think Ty too - he did a house in the small town I went to college in last summer. He was hardly there, treated the local help like crap, wouldn't let them come to the reveal, and had a special 'badge' from the police department making him an honorary deputy or some crap like that - basically so he could drink and drive. My friends saw him at the gas station and he was acting like an ass and drinking in his truck.
ReplyDeleteI volunteered for a build EMHE did here two weeks ago, Ty wasn't around except for the first day and part of the last, and as others have pointed out, a bit of a jerk. So yeah, my guess too.
ReplyDeleteLol this is not even blind. Even I knew this was Ty right off the bat and I never get them right. What a douche.
ReplyDeleteHmm, I hope this one isn't revealed. It would be a waste of a reveal since it's clearly Ty.
ReplyDeleteim going to say the guy that hosts the housewives reunion/recaps crap.
ReplyDeleteSo totally Ty (LOL). I didn't even had to think about it.
ReplyDeleteDon't hate, Ty's just doing what Martha Stewart did for millions. If the ladies can do it, why can't the man?
ReplyDeleteThey have built at least 2 (and I think 3 houses) here in Kitsap County.
ReplyDeleteThe employees of our local SEARS never saw these people. Instead they shot the 'ferry ride ' to get sears products in Seattle.
bad.
@i
ReplyDeleteAnd that's a good thing?
What about Dr. Drew from Celeb Rehab/Sober House?
ReplyDeleteTy was definitely the first person who came to mind. The whole "brings out the tears" comment is a dead giveaway.
ReplyDeleteDr. Drew was the first person to come to mind.
ReplyDeleteThis is very much Ty. I know for a fact. My dad created some wood turned bed feet and lamp shades for a show, with his own hands (I saw it) and on air Ty took credit for making it. They showed him polishing it saying "this is what I spent all day on", when he had never touched them until that moment. What a joke that guy is.
ReplyDeleteI also thought Ty right away, but I loved reading the first-hand accounts of his douchiness. I saw him on some talk show - maybe Kimmel? - and he looked high/drunk/something. I wasn't impressed at all. Hopefully the show really does things for people in need.
ReplyDeleteMike--if that's true, then Ty is a sack of shit. Woodworking is an incredibly complicated art, and how can he take credit for another's artwork? It's practically criminal!
ReplyDeleteMooshki, if it is who I think it is.....well, he would not admit it for sure, but he has to have help with the site.....
ReplyDeleteTy "came" to our town a few weeks ago, where he proceeded to trash talk the city and how ghetto it is, made fun of the people in the surrounding area, and pissed off a large portion of the city. While our city has its blemishes, as with any city, it's one thing to call them out if you are a regular joe, not a duplicitious national personality.
