Big Brother has always kind of seemed like the reality TV show for people who think Reader's Digest is an interesting magazine. It might have been amazing in the 1950s when it would have had something to say about privacy and the encroaching domination of televised media, but at this point don't all reality TV shows feature a cast living in a house cut off from the outside world, surrounded by television cameras? In fact, forget reality TV, isn't that just all TV shows? Even sitcoms are predicated on that idea. Full House and Family Matters (Because those are two TV shows I know. I deserve a raise!) were just Big Brother with professional actors.
That being said, the cast of the upcoming season of Big Brother has been announced, so it's time to play Marry, Fuck, Kill, in which we use as little information as we can to make hurtful snap judgements about them as people. Welcome to Hollywood! Normally the way this game would be played is that we would see how their rankings change throughout the season as we got to know them better, but I've made it nine seasons without watching this show and I don't think I'm about to start now just so that I can rip the contestants apart with more insightful insults. This'll do, pig.

Last night, as promised, one of the housewives died, and we finally learned what was in the hatch (money). Just kidding! That was a joke! Those things didn't happen! But near the beginning of the season, I played Marry/Fuck/Kill with the cast of the show using only their on-line profiles to guide me. Now, after weeks of fascinating (not really) views into these (horrible) women's fabulous (not really) lives, it's time to see if anything's changed.

Following in the stilettoed footsteps of the popular (is it actually?) Bravo reality series The Real Housewives of Orange County is the grittier but no less white The Real Housewives of New York. The new batch of ladies are as venal and entitled, if not more so, but without all the wearying sweet death that seems to hover over most of southern California. It is awesome in a way that the original is not because let's face it, if you're super rich in New York, you still have to smell piss all the time.
If you haven't spent a Tuesday night with these ladies yet, go meet them now at Bravo's website. Throughout the season, we'll play Marry/Fuck/Kill with these precious snowflakes, and see if the more we get to know them as people the more we want to marry, fuck, or kill them. My guess is that by the end of the season it's largely the latter, with maybe some hate-fucking thrown in for spite.
