Amore sucks


People have been saying it for years: MTV has gone down SO MUCH! But I think everyone has that one MTV show that she has to watch. Whether it's watching lives go down the drain on True Life, or screw ups say "I Do" on Engaged and Underage, or a "bisexual" girl go back and forth between men and women and eventually saying "No" to the best person on the show (Yes, I have a bit of a girl crush on Danni), MTV offers a little guilty pleasure for everyone.
But I can almost foresee the end of the "music" network. Shows are getting cheaper and trashier.
It's newest installment, That's Amore, is a hopeless plea for ratings. A cute little Italian boy--coincidentally the fun-loving and often picked-on Domenico-- has girls ruthlessly get down and dirty to win his affections.
Reasons to Love it:
There are times when it seems like Domenico isn't just a horny guy who wants some girls to parade around in skimpy clothes for him. Plus, his little accent is undeniably cute. (Come on, I'm only human)
Reasons to Hate it:
Most of the premise is about having bikini-clad girls with fake boobs, fake hair, and faker tans get messy and downright dirty.
Most of the girls want to be on TV and be labeled as the "bitch." I think Kim has the chance to have her OWN spin-off reality show. I wonder what the quirky little title will be.

Oh, and I'm not really sure why Domenico goes through all this when he's most obviously interested in Kathleen. DUH.
