Before going any further, I just want to put this out there: I have never watched the show. Sure, I’ve forced myself to look at an episode for a few seconds while skimming through channels, but that’s about it. Despite not seeing the show, as someone from Newark, New Jersey I’ve seen episodes of this program simply by walking down the street or taking the bus. I can simply imagine the cast of people who are on the show and what takes place throughout the season. There is a sixteen-year-old girl who gets impregnated by a hottie she saw at a party after the hunk promised that he would evacuate the area before the volcano erupts, but there were some…guys…who got left behind. Fast-forward to nine months later after anger and tears from the girl and her parents and the boy and her parents, MTV is filming constant back-and-forth fights between the young couple because the girl is upset with the fact that her knight isn’t willing to be as valiant a father as he promised her. This is no Juno; it has its funny parts where we laugh at the potholes in our society, but overall it’s still a train wreck—which is hard to look away from and makes it entertaining.
