and Reality TV
Oh, for Love and Money was bloated. It looked, felt and sounded like The Bachelor/Bachelorette/JoeMillionaire. The same approach to the nice house by limo; the same slumber party of girls; the same tall, good-looking, quasi-successful dude in a tux; the same elimination ceremony; the same lame-o dork explaining the obvious to the dude and the ladies. The editing looked the same. The music sounded the same. Yet, for 2 full hours of it, we only saw him actually talk to the girls for maybe 15 minutes and that consisted of "It was really nice to meet you. I'd like to get to know you better" over and over again.
That said, I will probably watch it again because the best part about these shows is the bitchy, catty, drunk, drooling, behavior that happens in the middle and it looks like it starts next week. The beginning (last night) sucks and the end (i.e. will Aaron's family like Helene?) sucks. Also, this is probably the best looking group of women they have accumulated for one of these shows. I realize now that I should have watched with the sound off last night.
