Reality TV > Bravo Gets The Money Shot

Continuing it's long tradition of pitting trained professionals against each other in more and more ludicrous competitions, Bravo has picked up the new series Money Shot. Yes, I know, any red-blooded human being would look at this title and instantly assume it'll be about cigarette smoking porn-actors trying to diddle each other in to million dollar contracts. But it's not. Instead it's about another seedy, possibly useless portion of our freemarket economy: celebrity photographers.
The show will follow a group of money-hungry paparazzi as they shoot pics in competition for a treasure chest of money and the possibility to shoot for the most glamorous magazine of all - PEOPLE. Of course the hopes and dreams of these photography cave-dwellers will be a group of judges surely comprised of a loosely connected group of photo pros and models. Rest assured the models are only being thrown in their for diving cleavage lines and their easiness on the eyes.
This whole scenario sort of gives me the willies. I mean, paparazzi are invasive, do-anything-for-a-buck snakes, that generally spend their time trying to catch shots that will wreck people's lives. Isn't their some sort of moral dilemma being presented here by placing them in the greater public eye so we can root for them? Celebrities, especially those who've had to face off against these ass-bananas in court, should be outraged that Brave would pick up a show like this. I can only imagine the list of B-list actors already signed up to host each special challenge, because certainly no big name celebs are going to be traipsing about on this piece of career suicide. My list starts with Paris Hilton (maybe Nikki if they're lucky) and ends with Nicole Ritchie. Guh-ross.
