Did you H8 The CW's 'H8R'?
When I watched 'H8R,' I wasn't expecting much. However, I had a little faith there would be at least some entertainment value. There wasn't.This show is probably one of the least real reality shows out there.
The premise: "Real" people (putting real in quotes because I'm not convinced these people aren't actors) hate "celebrities" (putting celebrities in quotes because this show is filled with lots of D-list reality stars), then there is a confrontation between the "real" person and "celebrity."
After the two spend a day together, the show ends on a message of "bullying is bad" -- hey, it is -- and the two people go on their merry way.
But the show doesn't really resolve anything -- H8Rs still gonna hate, afterall -- and it just leaves viewers asking why. Or in our case, wanting to hate on all involved with the show that much more.
I'm just going to say it: The screener I saw was so boring, so poorly acted, that it was hard to watch. The most interesting part was when Snooki met her H8R's family; it felt the least staged. But these people raised someone who hates Snooki, and now they have to meet her on television? With Mario Lopez waiting in the wings with sassy commentary? Awkward.
Part two featured Jake Pavelka -- he of 'The Bachelor,' 'Bachelor Pad,' 'Dancing With the Stars' and 'Famous Food' fame -- confronting and then hitting on a young woman who thinks he's a douche. A valid argument, but Pavelka can't really prove otherwise and the two don't make up, unlike Snooki and her H8R. By far the best part of the entire episode was Jake taking off in a jet, never to be heard from again. (Hey, we can dream.)
Other TV greats confronting their H8Rs this season include: The Miz, Levi Johnston, Kim Kardashian, Janice Dickinson, 'Girls Gone Wild' creator Joe Francis, Ron Artest, Maksim Chmerkovskiy, Scott Disick, Charles Barkley and Eva Longoria -- wait what!? Lopez is really cashing in on that friendship!
So, did you H8 'H8R' as much as we did?
