Now that the summer months are upon us and the networks are about to fill us with reruns and crappy series that won't get picked up for the fall, it's time to narrow down your priorities. Do you spend a little time in the yard? Perhaps join the family on a vacation? Maybe pick up a good book or two and reacquaint yourself with your brain? Those are all good choices, but if you cared about any of them, you wouldn't be visiting TVgasm. We're here to talk about what we like to talk about the most - trashy TV. My friends, there is nothing more trashy than taking 24 Bunim-Murray projects, sending them to Australia, and watching as they tear each other apart for money. Yes folks, it's the Real World/ Road Rules Challenge: Fresh Meat, and if the first episode is any indication, it's going to leave us very satisfied this summer.

I have to be honest. A lot of people, myself included, originally thought that this was a desperate grab to inject some life into this series. I'm not sure if the people who thought up of this idea were desperate or not, but I hope to one day thank them because the premise looks to be a winner. Take twelve Bunim-Murray characters who think they are the greatest things in the world because they've thrown up or had sex on camera and pair them with twelve new cast members desperate to become famous for throwing up or having sex on camera. Have them fight over some money ($250,000 for the winning team - the most in challenge history), and that's really all you need.

As we started out, our favorite mop-haired meathead Theo immediately disparages the new contestants, complaining that these people are invading his workplace. After all, he wouldn't try to go to their job and try to out-latte them! Oh snap! You, GO girlfriend. That was so funny and you delivered the line so naturally, I had NO idea whatsoever that somebody else wrote that line for you and had you film that segment after the fact.

But as much fun as it is to make fun of the "Alumni", as they are called on the show, it is the fresh meat where we have our real fun. First of all, we get Evan, who immediately evokes memories of The Miz. As an added bonus, he's Canadian. He states that he's young and stupid and very good at making bad decisions. Chances that he takes Mike's place as the goofy and charming meathead comedian? I'd say about 99 percent.

And then there is the girl whose name is Diem. Yes, Diem! Poor girl, she probably is the wet dream of every Latin major in the country (and since I was a Classics minor, I can make fun of all of you!). I can just see the pick-up line now "Hey baby, you can call me Horace, because I want to seize the day." And if you thought that was funny, you probably need to look at some porn.
