Thanks a lot, The Real World and Survivor.

It made a turn at Hawaii, with drunken Ruthie. I can remember actually making time for that mush (my roommate and I 'taped it,' if you can even remember that process). Ruthie, a dead-drunk ringer for the embattled Tiger Woods if God ever made one, had about 15 too many daiquiris one night and -- kazam! -- it became a show about social consciousness and The Right Thing to Do.

 

I love that none of them could pronounce "Snooki's" name right. They kept calling her Snickers, but in the thick accent, it sounded more like "Snikkuhs."

Just an all-around bang-up job by MTV on this one.

In that case, everyone should have blown it off already1.
