don't miss some of the other great articles. renting a yellow golf cart, a michael jackson lookalike and then driving into the media swarm outside neverland - genius.

She wanted to get on television, and she got it, guy. She knew there were risks making a show like that, and she signed her rights away. If she was looking for true love and not fame, then she didn't have to go on tv.

Why would you feel sorry for her? Not that you can't, I just don't see a reason.

I wouldn't feel too sorry for the girl; she did say she wanted to go on another date.

The Steve-O blind date has become a classic in my household. If my memory serves me correctly he dons a speedo at the end in front of his date.

I doubt that the average person with the questionable-level intellectualism to enter a televised dating show would consider the concept that her match would in fact be a humor writer seeking personal profit out of deliberately looking for ways to be a horrible person.
But isn't that the entire premise of "Fox's Hit Show" "My Big Fat Obnoxious Fiance"???

I really, really hope this article is true.

Harmon Leon (and repective publication The Wave) are some the best things out there in the alt-weekly writings out there. I always look forward to the next issues.

Kinda reminds me of (the also fucking high-larious) chapter in "A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius" in which David Eggers auditions for a spot in season 3(?) of The Real World...
