The Surreal Life

I must admit I hadn't really watched this show before but did happen to catch the first episode of the newest edition. Can you say, OH MY GOD??? In the first episode we had drunkeness, nakedness and fighting!! What more could a person want in reality tv? But this time it was freakish. The drunkeness, nakedness AND fighting all involved Verne Troyer, aka Mini Me, from Austin Powers.

I don't know about anyone else, but the sight of a drunk midget riding around naked on his cart was more than I could stomach. And, watching him oogle the model girl as she laid on the table with sushi all over her naked body (don't ask) was also more than a person should be subjected to in one program. Actually, in one season.

It was like watching Bizzaro-World.... Christopher Knight (Peter Brady) seems to be the point-person to solve all problems in the house. He even alluded to the whole episode as being very "Brady". Ugh. Also, Chyna is a member of the cast (the amazon-like dark-haired wrestler woman). She's a total drunk and actually moved into Verne Troyer's room. Hello!! You are 8 feet tall... did you happen to notice the closet was 2 feet high and the bed was only 6 inches off the ground???? She's a trip.

I am oddly attracted to this show and actually rather ashamed to admit it. But, in the interest of reporting all things Pop Culture, it's my duty to share this sort of information.
