The Dating Game

I have been in Barcelona going on seven months and during that time I have tried to keep up on current events as much as possible. I read the LA Times almost daily because I like to stay informed, and probably more than anything else, some juicy shit tends to go down in Los Angeles. Yes, this is a Hip Hop blog, but every once in a while something catches your eye like my main man Rodney Alcala.

Alcala was recently convicted of murdering five women in the 1970's. Big whoop right? What makes this nut job stand out more than any other serial killer you would see profiled on Court TV late at night while you're high and eating a fat bowl of Honey Bunches of Oats? Well before Alcala was convicted of murdering five women, he was known as bachelor #1 on the Dating Game. Naturally, I had to see this maniacal killer lay some game on some poor, unsuspecting dumb bimbo. The five minute clip below is horrifying and quite funny at the same time.

Not knowing any of the contestants names, you think you could pick the psychopath right away. Oh how wrong you are. All three of them look like they're capable of bludgeoning a 12 year old's skull in between going to the gym and returning video tapes. This might be accentuated by the not so subtle vibes that Ms. Bradshaw gives off. Everthing about Cheryl just screams "Kill Me! Kill Me!" And by the end of the clip it takes a lot of restraint not to comply to her wishes.

After two minutes you can start whittling down the psychopaths. The stubby contestant in the middle seems harmless enough and that leaves us with bachelors one and three. Bachelor number three seems like he could be quite familiar with abducting a child and dumping them in a marsh somewhere judging by his ultra creepy "hello." But there are some tell tale signs that bachelor number one is just licking his lips at the prospect of chopping up Cheryl and pouring sulfuric acid down her throat after the tennis lessons. The first give away is his infatuation with the night. "Nighttime is when it really gets good." I bet Rodney, you creepy sadistic fuck. Then watch closely at the 4:44 mark when Rodney gives his dirty old man impression. That about seals the deal. Of course Rodney wins and I don't think it's because Cheryl likes bananas. Rodney just wants it more. Not unlike Michael Jordan or Kobe Bryant. Never underestimate killer instinct. By all accounts Cheryl is still alive and kicking, a mystery no doubt.
