The City: Some Dude Cheats on His Girlfriend

January 19, 2009 Posted in Buzz

I imagine what the MTV production meeting looked like before tonight’s episode of The City was planned.

“Hey guys. We totally effed up on the drama factor by letting Whit and Jay get together so quickly. Let’s introduce some new characters….er….invite more ‘real people’ in so we can have new dramz. Oh, and let’s make sure to make everyone meet up in the park to discuss their issues. Letting it all happen in their apartments is boring.”

Seriously – the episode was boring. I barely cared about the Jay shiz and now they want me to care about some not-so-cute model and her douchey boyfriend? Not only do I not know this girl, but her situation isn’t nearly as fun to watch as Audrina and Justin Bobby, so why should I care?

Yes, it sucks to see some chick get her heart broken when her BF has guy night at a strip club and some girl (who was at the strip club, why?) ends up maybe making out with him. And, yes, it was kinda funny to watch her BF try to warn her of the sitch while driving her home from the airport (“I love you so much. I love you. Did you talk to Whitney?”).

But I don’t care.

Where is all the good drama? Where are the Heidi and Spencers of New York City? I lived there for a summer – I know those jerks are out there. Where are the Stephanie Pratts? Where are the Justin Bobbys?….Oh wait. The City does have one of those and his name is Jay. Did you see what he wore when he met Whitney in the park? The hat and hobo jacket? I swear he looked just like those homeless guys who would shake their cans at me when I got off the Subway.

Watching him with Whitney brought back this innate urge to pretend to clutch my purse and run away.

Tonight’s episode was lame. End of story. I wish I could get that 23 minutes of my life back. Maybe I’d go to the gym. Or do some community service. Or at least watch something a little more entertaining on TV.

Instead I am tired and about 3 pounds fatter from drowning my boredom (and sorrows from being let down by yet another episode of The City) in frosting. Buttercream frosting.

Yes, right out of the tub.
