What's happened to the show?!


Today I was watching this Punk'd marathon on MTV with directors like Miley and Bieber!! And I'm like what the hell happened to this show. It was not even funny and the ideas were so lame. I kept remembering some of the greatest pranks I'd seen on this show and then I felt too disappointed.

PS. This new episode with Ashton back seems promising though!

Of all the guest hosts this season, Justin was by far the worst in my opinion.

The Drake segment was by far the best one this season. That is how you pull a great prank.

Justin wasn't the worst, that female from Glee was.

How can you tell if someone's a compulsive liar? I mean, assuming their pants aren't on fire?

Yeah, I really enjoyed the one with Drake. He was truly surprised and scared of the situation. They really shouldn't leave the show in the hands of inexperienced teens and if they can't have Ashton, they need some great directors and brilliant ideas to keep it running.

They don't really come up with it though do they? How much of a say does the guest host actually have? I kept thinking the producers decide the set up and who the guest host will be pranking. Do they get to throw out some names as to who they'd like to get?

Some of the pranks are really good while others fall flat. I like it better when the guest host isn't involved with the prank and by that I mean they aren't present for it. Sometimes it works and often times it just seems more fake.

One thing I have always wondered is what do they do if the celebrity getting Punk'd calls the police and not the accomplice? I know they'll be like "we have to call 911" then the accomplice or the host (if they're in it) will call and its either the guest host on the other end or a crew member. Best example is when Kelly Osbourne and later Khloe Kardashian wanted to call the police and Miley ran to her phone saying she got it and that she'd do it.

I was asking myself the same question. Not the same show anymore....
