Some 13 million viewers tuned in last night to the debut of "The Simple Life," starring hotel heiress and star of a recently released sex tape Paris Hilton and her pal (and Lionel Ritchie daughter) Nicole Ritchie. More people watched the first episode of this show than watched the first episode of this year's The Bachelor and Average Joe, by a combined total of 2.5 million people. I know it's only television, but that's alot of people who want to watch sexy dames live like poor peoople. I guess people's interests were piqued because of the whole sex tape thing. Just when I thought so-called reality televison was hitting the skids, this is bad news.
Not to be outdone, NBC will be bringing a new reality series in I think January where people will compete to win a six figure job from Donald Trump. There's nothing I'd rather watch more than uber-ambitious preppies fighting for fame and fortune at the feet of The Donald. Okay, maybe the Paris Hilton sex tape.
