Tinsley Mortimer's Reality Show Canceled Due To It Being Tinsley Mortimer's Reality Show

thumbnail icon: Tinsley Mortimer's Reality Show Canceled Due To It Being Tinsley Mortimer's Reality Show

Considering how insipid and fart-smelling most reality shows are these days, it's weird to hear about the programs networks are filming but choosing NOT to air. If Celebracadabra can make it to broadcast, I'm not really sure where you set the bar. "This show probably won't give anyone intellectual diarrhea, let's put it on the backburner and try to find a transsexual whose father died of cancer in the past two weeks to put in the mansion." Or, I guess, it's when nothing happens. As in this report from today's New York Post:

SOME people may be fascinated by pictures of social Barbie Tinsley Mortimer - but MTV found out the hard way that pretty pictures don't always mean fascinating TV. An insider said, "A Tinsley reality show was shot by MTV. But they couldn't use any of it. It's collecting dust. She looked good but she just got dressed and went to parties every day and didn't have anything interesting to say. It was incredibly boring. The project is dead." A rep for MTV didn't return calls.

I just like to imagine some VP of Development watching the footage and saying stuff like, "And she didn't use the foam covered javelins even once? What about the viper testicles, did she have to eat those or face elimination? Well what the fuck were you guys doing out there?"

But I don't know. I think the show is getting a bad rap. After the jump, we have some exclusive screen caps from the show MTV doesn't want you to see.

On their first night in the house, Tinsley gets all the housemates to do bodyshots of well tequila and strip down to their underwear for a late night hot tub party.

Things get heated when Tinsley forms an alliance with another cast member, but then puts her name in the Elmination Jug.

Tinsley meets a music producer at the club where the housemates all go and starts to really get serious about pursuing her music career.

Everyone is pretty excited when a package arrives at the house. They're going to Mexico!

At the final elimination, Tinsley Mortimer decides who will be her Next Social Acquaintance.

I guess that show does look kind of boring, I probably wouldn't watch it. Lindsay would, though. Lindsay would totally watch that show.
