Brande Roderick nude wouldn't even save the Surreal Life
It sounded like a good idea, put celebs in Glen Campbell's old house and find out what happens, "when people stop being polite, and start getting real". Oh wait, that's the Real World theme. This time we find out what happens, "when people start getting irritated, and start acting like Corey Feldman". Vince Neil is cool, and that dude always will be in my book because Motley Crue rocked back in the day. M.C. Hammer as a preacher man is a little weird and Emmanuelle Lewis as a bitter midget doesn't work for me. Gabrielle Carteris as an actress who had 1 real job (90210 if you're wondering, she was the annoying Andrea) is not bad, and Brande Roderick as the dumb playmate isn't either, except for the fact that they probably need her to show more skin more often. Corey Feldman is a loser. There, I said it. Jerry Manthey is NOT a celebrity, she was a flash in the pan *censored* (can I say that on this site? okay I guess not, it starts with "B") who was eaten alive by Colby on Survivor II.
Overall, the show has been pretty boring. They are only there for 10 days, and during that time they squeeze a ton of activities in, so while it is similar in format to MTV's Real World, the time frame is much shorter. I believe RW is 5 or 6 months, and plenty of relationships are formed in that time. SL can't afford to pay guys like Vince for over 10 days, and unfortunately that kills the show.
Subtlety is not one of my strengths
