'IDOL' VOTING SCANDAL OR SOMETHING
'TRUE BLOOD' SEASON TWO: ORGIES!

I WISH I COULD PUNCH THIS SHOW

Written by Matt Ufford / 05.28.09

Despite “The Real World’s” transformation from “iconic Generation-X touchstone” to “annual booze-fueled f-ckfest for attractive morons,” last season’s foray into Brooklyn at least tried to be something besides a weekly televised frat party turned shouting match.  There was the Army reservist who was headed back to Iraq, a post-op tranny whose transformation to woman wasn’t exactly a sparkling success, and  that guy who swore he wasn’t gay but totally was.  Closeted people are funny!

Alas, “The Real World: Cancun” looks to compete with the San Diego, Sydney, and Hawaii editions (and Hollywood, and so on…) for “Trashiest. Season. Ever.”  In two minutes of trailer, we get:

ayiiia√ Puck 2.0!

√ Girl who was in foster care!

√ Girl pondering lesbianism! (psst: foreshadowing)

√ Lesbianism!

√ Guy who’s “totally different” when drunk!

√ “She thinks she’s better than everyone else.”

√ Spoken through tears: “I’m going home.”

√ “I shouldn’t have spent the night. I have a boyfriend.”

√ “I WAS IN REHAB!!!”

√ Catfight!

Ugh.  All it’s missing is “I’m not here to make friends.”  Swine flu, you really dropped the ball on this one.
