Cheesy tabloid fame and a small fortune which, let's face it, you'll probably blow in a week.
I know it's not terribly age appropriate but I watch this show with my 3 year old nephew. Some characters come off as glaring stereotypes ("Hey y'all, LeShawna's in the house! I'm all that and a bag of chips!") but they tend to have substance regardless, even if they're voted off early. The show's got a few problems including forced-feeling lines and episodes with no actual storylines (but then isn't that what reality tv is all about?) I can overlook these however, as I enjoy a good ensemble piece. Also of interest, the first episode had some obvious editing but after CN plastered on the TV-PG rating, they've become a lot more liberal with words like "Crap" and "Sucking" in last night's ep.
A few notes...
Chris McLane: He's a sadistic d-bag and loving every moment of it.
Owen- I love his gay slip ups. "I sure am glad it's just us guys here, ya know what I mean? ...Wait! I didn't mean it like that! I loooove chicks! I just don't wanna sleep near them! No, wait!" Incidentally, though, he does hook up with a female contestant.
Duncan: It's refreshing to see a bad boy who can actually back up his image.
Courtney: I'm so Courtney/Duncan shipping right now. (sPoiler alert?)
Geoff:...
I've been using "Life's over just like that! If you don't have a party every monday, you're gonna regret it!" as a personal mantra lately.
LeShawna: I crack up a little everytime she says "White girl"
Harold: Gosh! What a completely original character and not glaringly obvious homage to a semi-recent pop culture icon!
Lindsay: "I can so totally keep a secret! This one time, my sister had major diarrhea when she was on a date and she called me from the restaurant's bathroom to bring her toilet paper because they were all out and I never told a soul." *looks at camera* "Er, oops. Sorry Paula."
Gwen: Like a cross between Clone High's Joan of Arc and X-Men Evolution's Rogue.
