    NYC Prep: Winter Break My Heart

    What is it about Mexico that provokes such drama from reality shows? There's sandy, stupid Real World. The Cabo adventures of the Hills gang. The lonely journey of Danielle from Jersey (mostly made up by me). And now, PC. More »

    Real World Cancun: Please Don't Spit In My Taco

    Oh, Mexico. Land of sand and ruins. Place of history and blood. Of vines and mountains. Mexico: where you can get drunk at a laser lightshow nightclub and then spit in your roommate's taco and no one bats an eyelash. More »

    There was a moment on NYC Prep last night that was just so brutal, so true-to-life, that I feel I just have to get it out of my system and talk about it right now. Camille and her teeth. More »

    Real World Cancun: The Y'alls of Montezuma

    Real Housewives of New Jersey: You Wouldn't Like Teresa When She's Angry

    Things disappear so quickly these days. They just fleet past, like car lights out on the Turnpike. I'm speaking, of course, of the premature end of Real Housewives of New Jersey, a show that we'd only just gotten to know. More »

    Real Housewives of New Jersey: The Gorge Between Tasteful and Tacky

    Real Housewives of New Jersey: A Criminal's Guide to the Garden State
