Reality Show Contestants Still Not Present For Amity
Rich "fourfour" Juzwiak's 2009 "I'm Not Here To Make Friends" compilation is live, and it's just as entrancing as the original, which you can find here. There ought to be some kind of recutting Emmy for this kind of genius.
Someone needs to compile every time someone on MTV Cribs says "This is where the magic happens" upon entering the bedroom.
I've always been fascinated by how "home" is posited as such a terrible place by reality TV shows. "Look, nobody wants to go home." I suppose not, when home is a studio apartment in Van Nuys with acoustical tile ceilings and toxic mold.
The Bachelor and Bachelorette have their own unique set of cliches, including that old chestnut "here for the right reasons." The wrong reasons, I guess, being "to get famous" or "to get laid."
