Is it a Fame reunion? No, it's America's Most Smartest Model!The latest Reality TV show to catch the eye of me and my wife is VH1's America's Most Smartest Model. The show is like any other reality show, there's a high concept (in this case dumb models trying to prove they are not dumb), challenges and of course eliminations. Contestants are reduced to two dimensional characters to elicit a response from viewers-if they have enough charisma to take them that far. The formula is stale and boring so what's left is the hook, the catchy gimmick of the show, to reel viewers in.
America's Most Smartest Model has a great hook. Take a bunch of over privileged pretty people known for their stupidity and have them attempt to prove they're not dumb. Like In N Out Burger, this show delivers one thing and it works over and over again. I can't get enough of watching these models fall all over themselves trying to figure out who wrote Tom Sawyer or the year of the Bicentennial.
I don't even care who wins this show, it delivers eye candy while making me feel unjustifiably smarter than others. Unless you're part of that 3% of the country that can pass for being a model, you come out a winner! In your own mind, at least. Just ignore the fact that they probably make way more money than the other 97% of the population. I guess they're smarter after all.

And they're smarter for getting our attention on t.v., which in turn will only help their careers.
Hi hon. I'm at school. Language lab is fun.
