Watching the show from a producer's perspective I just can't believe MTV. If you didn't see last night's episode just tune into Talk Soup and/or Best Week Ever and I'm sure there will be a recap. Basically this season is set in Hollywood and the cast members are 20something alcoholics who want to be famous. One of them, Joey, had "squashed" his alcohol problem before coming on the show.
But of course you can't live in a house MTV pays for without all kinds of mid-shelf liquor being poured down your throat.
Joey's a mean and scary drunk and in last night's ep he basically had an on camera breakdown. He lost it and if I had been one of the girls in the house I would have called the producers immediately because he was out of control. He's this huge steroid-y personal trainer type who wants to be an actor. He also gets really mad and likes to punch himself and other things around him. Oh and he never looks up and he really only talks to the guys in the house. This guy has PROBLEM written all over him and I love and hate the producers for casting him. He made for some AMAZING TV last night...but it's kind of shitty that the show just exploited his problem and probably freaked the hell out of the other castmates.
The best part is that Joey decided that he wanted to leave and he called the producers. The producers come out and say "Hey now--you don't want to leave. How about 30 days of rehab? Hmm? With Dr. Drew Pinksy?"
Translation: If you can't be on the cameras for us on this show how about going over to VH1 with some other substance abuse folks and have some drama there!
Um....The Real World-Hollywood is now on a season pass on my DVR.
