I didn’t think about it at the time that I took the survey, but My Super Sweet 16 might be the worst trashy reality show. That and MTV’s other classic, Parental Control.
My Super Sweet Sixteen should be called “If Pro-life Ruled the World” becuase all these spoiled bitchy oblivious brats should have been aborted. It’s astonishing how little they know about life outside the mall and their high school, and it’s fun to watch their horrible parents cater to their every Mariah-Carey-like demand. I can only take it in small doses though (one episode every so many months) because it just gets too insane to know that these kids are the future of the world.
Partenal Control is almost as bad. Many of you probably haven’t seen this show because it seems to come on in some weird afternoon timeslot. In this show, there are a set of parents who hate their daughter or son’s significant other. They audition candidates to replace the creepy boyfriend/girlfriend and then they send their kids out on a date with one of the pre-selected losers. The dates are stupid little activities like painting pottery in the middle of a field or doing something that involves wearing straw cowboy hats. The best part is not the dates, in fact the dates are pretty bland, it’s the former boyfriend/girlfriend yelling at the parents as they watch the date on TV. It’s funny to hear the kids call the parents old or fat, but it’s even better when the parents say all this mean stuff to the kids. Parental Control, a guilty pleasure indeed.
I admit, I’ve watched both these shows. I haven’t watched Sweet 16 for awhile, it really made me want to smack most of those girls! Or make them shop at Fashion Bug!
I’m home by 4 pm, so I watch Parental Control. I don’t know which is worse, the way the boy/girl friends talk to the parents or vice/versa! And like Date My Mom (another one I like) sometimes the dialogue is so cheesy & badly acted, you know it was scripted!
But it’s still fun to see trashy people do anything to be on T.V.!
