Hello folks and welcome to the crack and cleavage show.

I used to like Television until the whole Reality TV trend. As mentioned so many times before, the bar for quality and decency is lowered with every new show. "Dog Eat Dog" is a reality show where men and women slug it out against each other in physical and mental challenges, most of them involving a huge pool. The rules of the game are unimportant because `in reality' they are just an excuse to show wet chicks in bathing suits. The show's contestants are aspiring stars (Waitresses & Personal Trainers) who want to get in some time behind the camera and hopefully get discovered. Designed for the 18-24 year old male audience, it's so blatantly contrived that most of the time only the girls end up in the water doing challenges. Before that, though, they have to strip down to their suits in front of the camera as it pans up and down their body. Watching this and countless shots of contestants' hooters and crotches as they frolic about in the pool makes one feel like some pervert at the beach. If you like to check out women in swim suits while they're not looking this show is for you. Now I don't mind a little harmless eye candy, but I'll stick with "Wild" on E! or Baywatch reruns.
