Undercover Boss Proves Beneficial

Undercover Boss is a show in NBC that takes CEO’s of major companies out of their comfortable office and puts them right in the middle of their operation. While the head honchos get a feel for what it’s like to do the grunt work their many employees handle on a regular basis.

The most recent boss to take the plunge is Steven Foster, Co-Founder and CEO of Lucky Strikes Lane. Foster told PR Newswire, “This has been a moving and meaningful experience for me to see the heart and soul of Lucky Strike in out employees. I have learned a lot about our operation and am excited to make changes that will strengthen our brand.”

Does it work? Apparently so! According to The Wall Street Journal all but one of the stocks of companies that made an appearance on the show have risen. There are certain risks involved in appearing on a reality show. Once you sign the paper work and agree to be on the show, there is a chance that your business can suffer dramatically because everything is out in the open. The show essentially makes the CEO’s of the company aware of what their employees do on a regular basis. I believe the premise of the show is extremely interesting and informative on a company standpoint.

I really like this show because more often than not when I think of a reality show I think of Jersey Shore, The Real World, and things of that nature. Sometimes I forget that reality shows can actually be informative and sometimes each a lesson to the people watching. Overall, I think this show is pretty underrated and can give people different perspectives on how businesses are run. If you have the time I suggest you check it out Sundays at 9pm on CBS.  

What Your Political Party Says About What You Watch

The Business Insider did some research on what Republicans and Democrats watch. And apparently, Republicans like Reality TV.

While the Republicans are busy watching Survivor, American Idol, and Dancing With The Stars apparently the liberals are watching Mad Men, Dexter, and Entourage.

Do you agree?

Bridalplasty, For Real?

The last time I posted about E! was their new show called What's Eating You about different people struggling with eating disorders and documenting their efforts at coming to terms with their body and looking for help. Just when I thought they were producing more shows about a healthy self-image, this comes out.

Bridalplasy premiers November 28 but I'll let the video do the talking...

Heidi & Spencer Bankrupt

Heidi and $pencer claim they have felt the pressure of living the lavish life of the famous. The pressure, obviously, forced them to buy crystals, mansions, and plastic surgery of course.

Life and Style exclusively reports the couple blew $10 million on a mixture of their Malibu house, Heidi's bombed music career ($3 million), six cars, private jet, among many other superficial things. With all of that spending, the couple seems to owe about $2 million in taxes.

"We were immature, worrying too much about the famous part instead of the actual business part," Spencer tells Life & Style. "In hindsight, we shouldn't have spent any of our money. We should have been low-key and saved." Spencer continues, ""We spoke with a bankruptcy attorney and I've looked into unemployment checks."

Good luck! Remember, money can't buy happiness.

Sarah Palin's Alaksa... Yeah.. That's Right.

So, basically Sarah Palin can kiss her political career goodbye (If she hadn't already).

Sarah Palin will have a reality show on TLC debuting November 14th. Set your tivo's everyone!

'What's Eating You' ??

What’s Eating You is a new show on E!. This documentary-style shows follows two people an episode and records each of their eating habits and eating disorders. E!’s slogan for the show is about “Fear, Food, and Obsession”. This show goes into the lives of these people who struggle with binging, purging, anorexia, and different eating habits. This is not your typical eating disorder show. Unlike shows such as Intervention, What’s Eating You follows them around and documents their eating habits on a daily basis but does not have the family influence like most other shows of its kind. However, there is medical influence in the show. A therapist is a present in the show and helps her patients with their eating disorder and has a very effective way about going about their difficulties with eating. The therapist eats with her patients so they have support in what may seem like an easy task, but is extremely stressful for others.

Some of the cases are so extreme they do not consume actual food. One of the women that is on the show eats chalk and another eats out of the garbage. Another male makes his food extremely spice and adds other spices to make the food not taste good, and therefore does not have the desire to eat more. One woman on the show did not like getting butter on her hand because she felt as if she had already eaten it because it was on her hand.

Overall, this show is a great way of addressing the issue of eating disorders beyond anorexia and bulimia. There are many different types of eating disorders and obscure eating habits that are not often documented, but people to live with them on a daily basis. I think this show is a good way to reach out to many people who watch E! and might suffer from similar disorders.

Audrina Patridge Lands Reality Show

If you were concerned about life for Audrina after she got kicked off Dancing With The Stars... well, don't be. The Hills star will soon have her own show soon enough.


Audrina told Us Magazine,

"The show with Mark Burnett got picked up by VH1 so the journey continues! It's a reality show about me and my family. Everything that people have wondered about me, they'll now get to see! And I hope Tony [Dovolani, her DWTS partner] will be on it! I'd love to make some trips to New York to see him because we are such good friends now!"

 I think it will be interesting to see where Miss Patridge came from.

Lady Gaga Before She Was Lady Gaga

Lady Gaga was born in Yonkers, New York to the name of Stefani Germanotta in 1986. Often people jump at the opportunity to be on a reality show to get their face out there in order to be famous... and apparently that's what Lady Gaga did! In 2005, Ms. Germanotta was on an episode of MTV's 'Boiling Points'. Check it out!

On A Reality Show? Lynn? Maybe!

So, today was a very interesting day. My friend Meghan and I were minding our own business on a Saturday afternoon... shopping.. hanging out and then she got a phone call. An hour later Meghan and I went home, changed, and were auditioning for a reality show. They made us fill out a few forms and did an on-camera interview of the both of us. Needless to say, it was a very interesting experience. There aren't too many details I could get because the concept of the show is very new and still in the development stage. After the interview, we had to film out a questionnaire about our personalities, crazy things we have done, and things of that nature. I answered the questions as truthfully as possible, but it seemed as though the casting director was really feeling us (asked us if we had a passport). I'm sure it's just standard procedure, but kind of interesting, nerve-racking, and exciting all in one. There should be a call back soon... so I will keep you updated!
