Britt:One night you're out with a playmate, the next night you're asking me out?

How Many Dimwits Does it Take to Electrify a Reality Show?

Is it just me, or has MTV finally jumped the shark with "8th & Ocean"?

Here's yet one more reality show about beautiful people living in glamorous locations. And get this, this time it's about models. Wow, we've only seen this on MTV about a hundred times before. No reason not to see it yet again.

The critics have universally panned this show, and with good reason. In "8th and Ocean" we're treated to a bunch of twenty-something model wannabees living in Miami, FL, all hoping to make it in the world of fashion modeling. It's big egos and immaturity at its best. These people have absolutely no skills, except maybe how to best show off the beauty they were fortunate to have been born with. The stories are clearly aimed at the middle school crowd; no self-respecting person over the age of 13 would dare watch this tripe. All in all 8th & Ocean is simply an excuse to televise a bunch of good looking, well-built young bodies.

The show is a poor reflection on MTV's executives. How about just once MTV making a show about something we haven't seen before? How about MTV making a show that reflects its audience, which by the way is not made up of those few people in the world who are lucky enough to live the glam life? How about just once MTV making a show that doesn't assume it's audience has no brains? That's the least one can expect from a channel that's supposed to be cutting edge, yet is now nothing more than a paltry shadow of its former self.
