What do you think of such ...
Question: What do you think of such shows as
Kill Reality and
Battle of the Network Reality Stars, or whatever it's called? Do you think with the recent slump in reality programming (
Who Wants to Be a Hilton,
The Cut etc.) that networks need to cut us a break and let these so-called reality stars just fade into the abyss?
Answer: Oh, this isn't even a fair question. For which I thank you profoundly. There is nothing more pathetic, even if the goal is only to be silly and cheesy, than the recycling of reality "stars" in these dull, disposable and brainless formats. It almost makes me sorry that I ever said anything nice about
Charla from
The Amazing Race, she has become so ubiquitous (but still not as obnoxiously ever-present as
Omarosa). Reality TV isn't going away — that much is clear — but even E! and Bravo need to wake up to the fact that the people who emerge on these shows almost never have a shelf life that deserves to extend beyond the season finale.
