There is no end of “reality TV” in America, and one of the most popular are food shows, or rather food-porn shows, IMO.

I just watched the premiere of the most ridiculous reality show, so bad it’s good. Like watching a train wreck.

“I Want To Marry Harry.”

A bunch of American girls are in England, for something similar to the bachelor, with a lot of vague-but-misleading info about the guy in question. They’re at a Stately Home, everything’s very formal, the butler just refers to him as “Sir” (“you’ll be dining with Sir in the drawing room in 30 minutes”, “sir has provided these dresses for the masquerade ball,” etc) and the guy (who deflects when asked his name or what he does for a living or just about any other identifying info)… is a Prince Harry lookalike.

The girls are convincing themselves that IT”S REALLY HIM!! If they win the show they’ll be a PRINCESS!! I don’t know how they could possibly believe 4th in line to the throne would seek a spouse this way, but… like I said, trainwreck.

(I’m hoping the winner ends up being the one who realizes that hey, celebrity impersonater is a valid career, that somebody who’s going to be popular his whole life the impersonator can earn a decent living at it for decades. And he does seem like a nice guy, he’s just as goodlooking as the guy he’s lookalike for, his accent is adorbs…)

His reaction to the girls so far is hysterical. “American girls are very loud, aren’t they? And so forward.” With a facial expression and tone of voice that says, “OMG what a bunch of pushy gold-digging sluts!!”
