I Feel Dirty, Yet Strangely I Don’t Care

Dear Mr. Pizarro,
There are so many reasons I want to hate your “reality” show, Operation Repo.
There’s your nightmarish sister Sonia. I’m otherwise at a loss for words.
Or there’s your roid-raging muscle guy Matt, He reminds me of the dumbest crew of bouncers I ever dealt with when i worked in the bars; picking fights at the dumbest provocations; I picture him bellowing “You wanna start something? You wanna start something? You wanna start something? You wanna start something? You wanna start something? You wanna start something?” at waiters who bring him the wrong drink.
There’s the way Sonia and Matt both treat the unflappable, supernaturally-calm-and-collected hook-and-drag guy, Froy; if Froy ever gets tired of “showbiz”, he’s got a harassment suit waiting for him.
All together, they make me hate the show so badly I’ll have to stop watching.
Season after next. Maybe sooner. We’ll see.

Try ‘Wrecked’ on the Speed channel or On Demand. Nicer people, less confrontation (at least with the public-between the tow truck drivers is another story).
