A while back, Alex and I were approached by TV producers to be contestants on a new reality show called “Write or Wrong.” We agreed and started filming the pilot episode. “Write or Wrong” was an occupational competition show, like Top Chef or Project Runway, where writers compete to see who’s the best. So, Alex and I moved into a house full of other up and coming writers. The network filmed for one day before completely abandoning the project. If you thought those “Real World” people drank too much and had trouble getting along, you can’t imagine what an apartment full of writers and endless booze will lead to.

The show, of course, was never aired, so Alex and I asked for the footage and spent 6 hours in a computer lab in Worcester editing the discarded footage into a five minute promo. Here’s “Write or Wrong”

NEW YORK REALITY TV SCHOOL

That’s right! It’s real, and it’s here to work for you.

What is Reality TV School, you ask? Well, it’s exactly what it sounds like. At the school, a veritable Ivy League College for Reality TV knowledge, you learn what it takes to make in the world of unscripted television. With the accomplished staff (many of whom have honorary doctorates from the school), who will be taught how to mold and fabricate your personality so it best fits the budding medium. Not only that, but you might be lucky enough to sit in on guest lectures from such esteemed contestants on shows like:Survivor, The Bachelor, Beauty and the Geek, From G’s to Gents, A Shot at Love with Tila Tequila, Deal or No Deal, and many more.

But enough from me. Here are real blurbs and quotes, taken from the schools 4 by 4 inch pamphlet, which can be found sitting in coffee shops, taped to telephone poles, and in trashcans all over the city:

“If you ever thought you could be the next reality show superstar if only you had some coaching, then the New York Reality TV School was designed specifically for you.”

“Learn to be a REALITY STAR… The class dishes tips on clicking with casting directors and specializes in all types of exercises to help drop inhibitions, and get emotions rolling… the do’s and dont’s of making it on Reality TV!”

“Reality school teaches you the tricks of the trade. Students learn how to autdition, create an on air persona and parlay 15 minutes into a career.”

“New York Reality School encourages its students to ask, ‘Who am I?’ but if you’ve enrolled, you already know the answer: ‘I’m a star.’”

“… a hyperexcited brew of New Age self-actualization euphorics, personal testimonials, acting techniques – and a few surprises. The moral they convey: In reality TV, as in life, be yourself, to the max, only more so.”

And if that wasn’t enough to convince you, then just take a look at one of their graduates. Jorge Benersky was cast on Animal Planet’s “Groomer Has It” and finished in the top three on season one! He has since been hired as on-air personality and is now “Reality Royalty.”

Sounds too good to be true, doesn’t it? Well, it’s not.

Check out their website to enroll! We all know that a products quality can be judged on the quality of their website (just look at ours) so you know the school is Legit. Too legit to quit! Ha, you get it?
