As I surf through the channels on t.v. I notice an ever growing trend.  Of course every season there are more and more "reality" shows.  This is probably because most viewers find other peoples "real" lives to be more interesting than their own.  With the "reality" shows I’ve noticed that three types seem to be the most popular. 

One is has-been celebrities; "The Two Cory’s", "The Surreal Life", etc.  The other is "The Next…"; "Top Chef", "Great American Band", "Pussycat Doll", etc.  Another growing trend is game shows, especially one’s that don’t require any skills or intelligence whatsoever; "Are You Smarter Than A Fifth Grader", "Deal or No Deal", to name but two.

I think someone should combine all three.  A game show where you can become the next has-been celebrity.  I’m leaning toward, "The Next Olsen Twin".  I haven’t heard much about Mary-Kate and Ashley lately.  I suspect that this is due to the fact that neither one of them has been caught drinking and driving…yet.  Previously it was big news that one of them was anorexic, but these days a mere emotional/eating disorder just isn’t exciting enough.  Therefore they need to do something to put themselves back on the map.

A reality show is just the ticket. You get a bunch of young, skinny blonde girls and put them through a grueling competition.  Each show they’ll have to choose a numbered designer handbag and then answer an inane question about some of The Olsen Twins movies.  Hopefully these girls with have just enough personality that there will be tension and conflict in the house in the evenings after the actual competition.  That always makes for exciting "reality" t.v. (or if they are even remotely skilled at acting they could fake some "reality").  In the end there would be one new Olsen Twin; although maybe they would then become the Olsen Triplets.
