Celebrity Rehab 4 Finale




Wednesday, January 19 at 10 p.m. EST Celebrity Rehab on VH1 came to an end. Although this is not on my list of shows to watch every week there have been a few episodes throughout the season viewed and the finale seemed to reflect on the rest of the season, boring. It just seemed uneventful.

That sounds terrible. It's rehab, but it's also reality tv. Remember when Tila Tequila was supposed to be on that show? Maybe if she was on that show it would have been more interesting; it would also have been more annoying and seem more like a joke than a real show, but still.

It's unclear whether the purpose of this show is to really help these celebrities. Dr. Drew Pinkski is an amazing man who really does want to help and who does try, but are the viewers of VH1 really watching this show to see how to go through the recovery process? Or are the viewers more interested in the drama of reality tv that includes celebrities? Is it really a process that should be recorded for VH1? I guess that's controversial.

Here are six of the cast members
It was reported during the summer that they had a hard time finding a cast (hence why they wanted Tila Tequila), but the end result cast was not that bad. There was Janice Dickinson who has been all over reality tv within the past five years (I'm a Celebrity Get Me Out of Here, The Janice Dickinson Modeling Agency, America's Next Top Model), Rachel Uchitel, who is only a celebrity because she is famous for being a Tiger Wood's mistress, Jeremy London who I remember from 7th Heaven, but he was also kidnapped earlier this year and has had a lot of interesting things, Jason Davis - who is Brandon Davis' brother and Brandon is known for being with Paris Hilton and calling Lindsay Lohan a "firecrotch." Jason's an heir like Paris, because of his grandfather being part of the oil industry, Jason Wahler from The Hills and Laguna Beach was on the show, and the rest of the cast includes Eric Roberts, Leif Garrett and Frankie Lons.

Few of them agreed to go onto sober living afterwards - which basically defeats the purpose of even being in rehab, right?

If Dr. Drew wants to be taken seriously, because he is a great man, he should get a show on TLC or another channel instead of VH1 - (he has also appeared on Chelsea Lately as one of the comedians). So please, VH1, do not let their be another season of this show - I'd rather see Celebrity Fit Club make a comeback.

Celebrity Rehab Reunion show next week; maybe it would be worth watching how the stars have been since.

P.S. Jersey Shore is on tonight on MTV at 10 p.m. so expect a blog post in the morning along with a video.
