Take a good hard look at this crowd. Do their faces say to you, "I am a happy, well-rounded, productive member of society."?
Think of a time in your life when you were pretty depressed and feeling like a sorry sack of shit. Maybe you started to spiral out of control in a desperate path of self destruction. Everyone's been there....... right? Hmmmmm... well anyway, now imagine that at this time in your life, you have to live with 47 other people leading the same shitty life as you. All of you live in a house filled with endless amounts of booze and poor decision making skills. On top of that, every second of every day is documented by 29 video cameras placed strategically around the house to make sure and catch any random, drunk, unprotected sex that's sure to take place. Then this fine documentary is aired for the world to see the mess that is your life. All under the guise that you're going to fall in love. I'd like to see the original pitch to the network that aired the very first reality group dating show. I bet it is similar to the example written above. Except no one discusses the fact that these people will continue to live their lives after this show airs. That most of them will probably have children--fucking scary--that will end up seeing this crap one day. What happens then? I wonder if 20 years from now there will be a show on VH1 called What Ever Happened To.... ....Lost Children of Reality Dating Show Contestants. I look forward to that.
