Miss Seventeen

There was a segment on Good Morning America yesterday (yes, we even get GMA, but it airs here between 5 and 7 am and its a day behind) about MTV's new reality show Miss Seventeen.

MTV describes its new reality TV show, Miss Seventeen as follows:

"Miss Seventeen puts 17 accomplished and ambitious young women in a Manhattan loft to compete in weekly character-testing challenges, all under the watchful eye of Seventeen magazine editor-in-chief Atoosa Rubenstein. The winning girl will receive a prize package including a college scholarship and a paid internship at Seventeen. None of the contestants are strangers to success, but will they be able to keep their cool when the stakes get high?"

Uh, let me guess. . . no? Sounds like hell.

In carrying out this research, I found a website that demonstrates that the only thing more inane than reality TV is what happens behind the scenes. I'm sad to report to all of you that the scale on the Biggest Loser is allegedly fake. Bummer.
