Crack Blogger Thinks Last Night’s Intervention Was Fake

That's right: a crack blogger. Last night's season premiere of Intervention was one of the best. In the struggle to save former cyclist, now homeless crack addict Chad, the lows were so low but the highs were so high. I was Googling around this morning, and it turns out that there's a blog about crack called Crackhound and the blogger at Crackhound watches Intervention, and doesn't believe that Chad was really addicted to crack:

There is no bonafide crackhead who wastes that much dope, particularly if you are panhandling to score a few hits. This dude didn't know how to smoke crack. Period.

And he didn't act like any crackhead I've known. I found him to be very "after-blast" articulate. No window peeking, no floor geeking.

Despite the knowledge of such esoteric crack terms as "window peeking" and "floor geeking," Crackhound is probably wrong because who would be homeless and spend (SPOILER) three months in rehab just to get on Intervention? Deferring to the crack journalistic skills (get it?) of Crackhound, my guess is that Chad saved his real stuff for when the cameras were gone.
