MTV’s “Busted” Is Like “Cops” But for College Kids

image001.jpg

Growing up, every guy I knew was obsessed with the show “COPS.” High paced action, guns drawn, street fights, hookers dressed in neon leotards, down and out crack heads trying to talk the cops out of bringing them “downtown,” adrenalin fueled police brutality and, of course, the theme song.

The show was a high school boy’s wet dream.

Well now those high school boys have grown up into fine college men, but they still wanna see a little Cops action. And they can…sorta. MTV’s BUSTED takes the “COPS” formula to major college campuses across the country and busts dumb college kids doing dumb college things. You know you love the bad boys.

On Saturday, October 24th “BUSTED Live: Countdown To Lockdown” heads into the MTV studios to countdown 20 brand new infractions, including knuckleheaded misconduct from skinny-dipping to underage drinking, and backyard wrestling to marijuana possession.

Hosts Damien Fahey and Skyler Stone will countdown to the single-most shocking & never before seen offenses and CollegeCandy will be at MTV studios in Times Square to cover the whole thing. (And hopefully meet some cute boys in the process.)

Check back to CC on Monday for a full recap of the event as we saw it go down. Hopefully you won’t be seeing us on Busted any time soon…

RIP, TRL

Can you believe TRL has been on the air for 10 years?! I know! I didn’t know that show was on anymore, either. I think the last time I watched I had just gotten home from (high) school and called in my vote (for Christina Aguilera, duh!) to 1-800-VOTE-MTV. And I don’t think I even had a cell phone yet!

Well, TRL is still on…but not for long. MTV execs have decided to give in to the low ratings and close the doors on Total Request Live this November. The final show will be a major spectacle with tons of popstars, bands and former hosts coming back for the big goodbye. (Maybe they will play a full song for once? One can only hope!)

TRL was over for me when Carson Daly left and all those weird/random/unknown hosts started comin’ in (and then Carson got all rexy on us). But I guess other people sorta liked the randoms, so in honor of the end of the TRL era, I put together a little gallery of some of the bigger TRL hosts. Read More »
