"Fantasy Island" is one of those shows that you think they can reboot and make work. And they've tried it at least twice, but it really needs to happen in the early 1980s, produced by Aaron Spelling, and starring Ricardo Montalban and Herve Villechaiz--with a Love Boat style cast of Special Guest Stars.
And that's why it followed The Love Boat on Saturday nights... half the allure was seeing if your favorite second rate actress was going to be on an episode of either show.
My favorite was Melinda Naud. I used to talk to her on Facebook years ago until she started talking nutty shit. She told me and some other interesting little bits of trivia about shooting Fantasy Island... most of which I don't remember now. And she was still hot.
Ricardo Montalban was the other allure of the show. I'd have been happy to hear him read from a phone book. His charisma was undeniable; no one but him could have been Khan.
Pervy Village Cherry was annoying as fuck to me, though many found him adorable. I would have loved to see an episode of all those native girls kicking the shit out of him and stepping on his face.
But we didn't get that episode.
You know who
did like having his face walked on? The wrestler Tony Atlas. According to sources, Tony didn't walk until he was about 3, and he spent that time crawling around a house filled with women and all he could see was their shoes.
So now he pays women with really big feet to walk on his face and head.
Sometimes he films this, and has been known to no-show matches in order to indulge in his fetish, which he describes as non-sexual but rather something that keeps him humble.
Hey Tony, most people just go to church to remain humble.
An elite few pay some corn fed bitch to paddle them.
But you just have to be different.
I wonder if I could pay Melinda Naud to paddle me.
