The third season of The T.O. Show began Monday at 9:30pm on VH1. You know, the show about football star Terrell Owens and his two girl best friends and publicists. If you don't, it's okay, this was my first time watching it, too. Because apparently a show can be on for three seasons and you never hear about it. I caught up with the last two seasons during the two minute exposition at the beginning of the episode: Terrell spent years man-whoring it up, failing at romance, and playing football.
This season will be different: he might not play football! He is in the hospital with a torn ACL in his knee and is about to undergo surgery. Kati, one of the friends/publicists, stresses that his knee is "his financial future and football career" and then she prays a lot. When the doctor drugs Terrell up she takes a break from praying and decides to ask Terrell important questions, beginning with, "Am I beautiful?" to which he answers, "No." She then asks, "Do you love me?" And he says, "Slightly." That T.O. is such a jokester!
Post-surgery, the doctor tells Terrell that it will take at least four months to recover fully- but to make him feel better, his ex-girlfriend Kari visits because they are still "friends." Kita asks Kari why she didn't say yes when Terrell proposed, and she responds with, "Cause he was a hot mess." Good answer! Terrell claims there was no process for him to mature so he still acts twenty-five (not thirty-seven). I am not sure what that means... but at least he tried?
SumOlogy: While this could be more interesting than past seasons by showing the struggles professional athletes go through when faced with an injury, I still found it quite boring.
