I just saw a few minutes of the MTV-made POS…why are rich kids with trust funds and beautiful girlfriends such imbeciles?  
And why is EVERYBODT so angst-ridden/unhappy? I though having all that money and living large would make you happy-these kids are always complaining!  
They shoulkd do a role-reversal show-put these kids into East LA for a few weeks! 😉

Because if everyone was just happy and smiling all the time, it wouldn’t be any fun to watch. I think that’s the reason why it has to be a faux-reality show. In a true reality show, kids that age would be more awkward and pimply, and there would be way more drug use.
