Quiz: The Hills, Jersey Shore and the like. Includes bonus essay question.

[certainthings]

Now, I don't watch these shows or didn't watch, as the case may be with The Hills but from the internet, TMZ, magazines and other such sources I know way too much about these shows. Like a couple of their names.

Question One:
Were any of these people 'famous' before being on these reality shows or are they 'famous' because of these shows?

Question Two:
Does anyone honestly think that "The Situation" is attractive at all? Seriously?

Bonus Essay Question:
If Mike Sorrentino* can call himself "The Situation" because of his abs, should Jared Padalecki call himself "Houston, We Have a Problem"?


*I had to look up his actual name.

Oh God, I was just talking to my friend about these shows yesterday. They should be BAN_SET. My opinion of someone definitely lowers if I find out they're watching these. Or Keeping Up With The Kardashians. D:

#1 - I think they're famous because of these shows. However, Lauren Conrad from The Hills was famous before The Hills because she was in another reality TV show called Laguna Beach.
#2 - Ugh I don't think so. If they do - read my first paragraph, lol.
Bonus - HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH yes, we should.

Right there with you.

1. Is she the one that had the trillion dollars worth of surgery?
2. I really hope people don't.
3. :beams;:

1. Nope, that's Heidi Montag. She looks so gross. Lauren actually looks pretty.

lol @ "Houston, we have a problem."

I don't watch Jersey Shore, but I think the guy calls him Situation because he always says he's gonna solve "the situation"? Idfk.

And as far as I know, none of the people from The Hills were very famous prior. Lauren and maybe Kristen were a tiny bit but it was because of Laguna Beach.

[certainthings.livejournal.com]

Yeah? I heard it was because of his abs. Hmm.

I hope they stop being 'famous' soon.

[laurondo.livejournal.com]

It very well could be. I was just going off of assumption.

Me too.

1.) They are only infamous because they were on those shows. Otherwise, no one would know who they are.

2.) I have no earthly idea what he even looks like aside from tan. I'm gonna wager NO, though.

B!) Jared could call himself that, but it'd be a mouthful. And really, rather than a problem, I think his abs could be the solution to most things. Perhaps we could call him "The Solution" or "The Salvation". He is Jesus Padalecki afterall.

1. Good. I hope they go away sometime.
2. I like this answer.
3. Those names are perhaps more accurate and shorter but not as humourous. :p

[uglyduckling-me.livejournal.com]

I hope and pray everyday that all of these "reality stars" just go away and never darken my magazine racks or television again.

I'm really just commenting again so I can use this icon and stare at my little pirate guy *waves at him*

WHY DOES NO ONE ELSE SEE THAT THE SITUATION LOOKS LIKE ELMER FUDD?

[certainthings.livejournal.com]

I haven't seen him that much to notice who or what he looks like.

[fever-play.livejournal.com]

THEY ARE ONE.

[certainthings.livejournal.com]

Damn. They really are.

[goingtoqueens.livejournal.com]

Hahaha, I am so trapped by shows like Jersey Shore. It's ridiclous. But, really, people like Snookie and JWoww would not be famous if they weren't infamous.

I like Jared's nickname!

[certainthings.livejournal.com]

I hope that you get untrapped one day.

S'good name, right?

[thelocation.livejournal.com]

Hahhaha@bonus Q
Niiiiice.

[eilan.livejournal.com]

I approve of these questions.

Argh, I can't watch those shows, I just get angry at how stupid ppl are.


And Jared? Damn. I like your new nickname for him.

[certainthings.livejournal.com]

I personally don't see the appeal at all.

Hee!

[lyn-b.livejournal.com]

apparently i would do anything to procrastinate on an assignment due in..two days! YAY QUIZZES!

Q1: I'M CONVINCED THE SHOWS MAKE THEM FAMOUS.
Q2: okay, my knowledge of him is limited from what I gleaned from ONTD while rapidly scrolling down the page but he kinda seemed like a douche. MAYBE HE SAVES KITTENS IRL OR WHATEVS BUT I'M SORRY, ONCE YOU ARE ON A REALITY SHOW, I'M TOTES JUDGING YOU.
Q3: BRB LAUGHING AND LUSTING.

[certainthings.livejournal.com]

1. People should not watch them.

2. I think most people in his position are probably douches.

3. :p

[thursdaywench.livejournal.com]

#2, he's okay? when he's not "Situationing", he's actually a nice dude. :x

#3 AMEN MY SISTA!!

[certainthings.livejournal.com]

Really? Huh.
