Feeling ranty.
Yesterday I tweeted about this show http://www.jaclife.com/ which is aiming to be the new “Hills”. So, I checked it out. I checked it out because I am a big reality tv slag. I love it. I loved it from the very first “The Real World” on MTV back in the 90′s.
Jaclife is a new Canadian show, but, blech. Long-haired, vapid, flossy human My Little Ponies cavort about somewhere in Toronto, and that’s basically it. That’s IT. So I said something along those lines, but quite a lot nicer, on the show’s website. The comment has gone. WTF? Can’t handle a little criticism, Slice?
Anyway, it sucks. I suspect “The Hills” was one of those shows that hit the zeitgeist and can’t be repeated. “Jaclife” feels like it’s trying too hard without getting it, all at the same time.
"Jaclife" - crap rip-off, like this fake My Little Pony

And another thing. The chick this show is about is the daughter of some rich dude who has started her own store. Okay, but where’s the stakes? We know Rich Dude is just going to bail her out if things go tits up. Why not a show about someone starting a store in this recession who might actually go bankrupt, like a normal person? I need STAKES, people.

What are you doing on a TV show if you can’t take a little criticism? Really? No one has license to be just plain rude, but a legitimate critique of a program is totally fair game.

I’m glad to find out I am not the only Reality Show whore. My favorites are Cheaters (although it was better with the initial host), and the Kardashians, because it amazes me that entire family can be soooo narcissistic, without exception. Awesome
