Ms. USA bringing it on in WWE Tough Enough 2011

Rima Fakih, the current Miss USA, is making waves in the sports entertainment industry by joining WWE's latest season of Tough Enough -- WWE's search for the next WWE Superstar. If the fact that WWE Hall of Famer Stone Cold Steve Austin is not enough to whet your appetite, then the fact that Miss USA just might.

[CynicMon: And from here, you can see how WWE is trying to reel in more watchers; from wrestling fans, to beauty queen fanatics, everyone must have been interested at least to watch the first episode. Even my wife, who disdains wrestling, got interested enough to watch at least the first episode! Hehe.]

The new season aired Monday last week, April 4th, and it didn't disappoint. As can be expected from Stone Cold, he raised hell and set the bar for the 14 contestants trying to win the competition.

And from the get-go, we can see the current Miss USA dishing it out and making it at least fun to watch. Two episodes done and she's already stood out from the rest, due to some not quite so proud moments:
  • Episode 1: she's trashtalking the someone-who-might-consider-a-sexist-pig for making "sexist" comments; I've never heard a beauty queen got so many *beeps* in a TV show before [CynicMon: watch the episode; we'd rather not write about that here];
  • Episode 1: She was caught cheating during the test. She wore some padding for her hip/butt, 'coz of pain. She got some tongue-lashing from Stone Cold due to that and being caught [CynicMon: If you aint cheatin', you aint tryin'];
  • Episode 2: She got close and personal with an attack dog who took her down and biting through her protective gear [CynicMon: Guys got a good laugh at that!] ;
  • Episode 2: For whatever reason, she was twenty minutes late for workout, something that was considered as disrespect for the business and something that brought her to the bottom three for this episode [CynicMon: She's still in though].
Just for the heck of it, I think Miss USA will be there for quite sometime, despite her  obviously being green in the ring. To her credit, aside from the above, she's really trying her best. We'll see in the coming weeks.
