VH1's The Surreal Life, Season 2
December 7th 2006 23:22
I just watched the last episode of VH1's 'the surreal life'. The series saw Traci Bingham (Baywatch), Ron Jeremy (Pornstar), Rob Van Winkle (aka Vanilla Ice), Tammy Baker (television evangelist), Eric Estrada (Chips) and Trishelle Canatella (Real World Las Vegas) living together in a house in the Hollywood Hills and basically just taped everything that went on. Sursprisingly, the show was great entertainment.
All the housemates were really thoughtful, engaging and articulate, except when smashed or raging out of control. But overall there was a great family dynamic that was established as the series progressed and the stars got to know one another. It was also really valuable for the way that it debunked a lot of the mythologies surrounding a number of the celebrities. Ron Jeremy is not a perverted sex freak, Vanilla Ice is not a lame white boy rapper, and Trischelle is not a slutty alcoholic. They all came across as regular, but often troubled, people.
