A Real World for People With Jobs! - 
by EdHIll
So what do you do when you are a hip, single thirty something looking for some good reality television? Sure, we all love Real World, but there's only so much of Wes's stupidity one person can take in one day. If only there was a show out there that had that Real World flavor but was geared towards the more sophisticated viewer. Of course, since I'm talking about reality TV, I use "sophistication" loosely.
Well, look no further as this summer we get One Ocean View. No, it's not a crossover of The View and 8th and Ocean, although god knows we need Vinci and Starr Jones to meet. Nope, it's a new summer reality series featuring "people old enough to have real jobs, issues and baggage, but still young enough to leave all that behind and have a great time" spending their weekends at a summer house on Fire Island. So it's like an older Real World where the contestants think a career is actually getting a job like opening a restaurant or being an insurance broker, as opposed to appearing on Real World/ Road Rules Challenge until you turn 40.
Hey, I have baggage! I have a real job! And I am still young enough to leave it all behind and have a great time! This is the perfect reality show for EdHill! And from what I've read it looks like this can be the sleeper reality show of the summer, even with such stiff competition as Big Brother All Stars and Project Runway 3. I mean, they have identical twins! That just opens up all sorts of opportunities for wacky musinderstandings.
OK, since the show doesn't start until July 31st, lets take some time to get to know our..umm.. contestants? No, that's not right. Victims? Yeah. victims. One of the perks of being a staff member at TVgasm is we were able to get a press release on the upcoming show with a brief blurb on all of its contestants. I know, jealous aren't you? Another thing we get. About 500 spam emails a day. So let me just take this moment to announce to the internets, EdHill does not have erectile dysfunction. Everything works pretty well in that department thank you very much, so please stop sending me emails trying to sell me Viagra. Also, a personal message for a Mr. Nikembu, the vice president of the Central Bank of Nigeria: I am willing to help open up the offshore account we spoke about. My bank account # is 13-78643-190. Email me soon so we can get the ball rolling!
Ok, enough of that. Let's take a brief look at what we have to look forward to this summer.
First up we have Anelka, 23. I just love that I will soon have an "Anelka" in my life. It sounds like a character from Deep Space Nine. I wonder if she can speak Bajoran.
Heather, 27. her job is "sales account manager/recruiter" which has that vague bullshit resume language that makes you think she has a shitty job. Kind of like how you would call being the fry cook at the local Jack in the Box a "senior food service director". She's also posed in a men's magazine. Of course that could mean anything from Maxim to Big Jugs.
John, 24. From his bio: "John treasures the t-shirt his father was wearing when he met his mother while waiting tables on Fire Island thirty years ago." Wow. How...bizarre. Did he save the broken condom that led to his conception too?
