You Are A Walking Cliche

This has been one of my recurring reality television pet peeves, the faux-badass who thinks their competitiveness makes them rise above the drama they were hired to create :




Whether you’re a cast member on a reality show or just a mindless drone working in a cubicle, at the end of the day you weren’t hired to “make friends”, but you can still find ways to do your job without being an asshole. Then again, if it weren’t for this parade of predictable immaturity, reality shows wouldn’t be nearly as fun to watch.

  1. Reality shows are fun to watch?

    I sorta want to see that Greatest American Dog program, but I’m worried it will focus mainly on the humans and their childish drama, rather than just showing dogs playing for an hour ever Thursday.

  2. I am not sure why making friends and competing is mutually exclusive. Sorry I missed all the cat fights on Flavor of Love. So, did anyone of these bitches win?

  4. “I’m here to make friends.” That’s the idea I just had for my own reality show starring me. & 20 eligible people who would like to be my friend. Each week I vote one of them off. Then at the end I’m emotionally devastated & cry as I’m driven away in the back of a limousine. Huh, huh?
