Oh Undergod! RevMoon's daughter and other rich kids get reality show?

To me this move screams that they are working to further mainstream the monster Moon.

Not too good a review, though.

1. Mainstreamed into the pariah class, more like!

You're right, the review is friken BRUTAL:
Despite their mammoth trust funds, the rich kids in "Survival of the Richest" aren't exactly the cr�me de la cr�me. They're more like the sour cr�me: young people so astoundingly removed from reality that they have no idea how horridly they're intended to come off - and do. They're rich folks who are so emotionally and socially poverty-stricken they want to be on reality TV.

"Why should I care where money comes from?" asks one of the six snooty contestants. These include Hunter, who speaks six languages and is irritating in all of them. And Kat Moon, who calls the Rev. Sun Myung Moon "my pops," is worth almost a billion, yet doesn't play well with others.

"Survival" is built to foster pure contempt. The working-class players hate the wealthy ones, and vice versa. The show may as well be called "Let Them Eat Cake," and end not with a team elimination, but with royal beheadings. But in this case, my contempt extends not just to the participants, but to the makers of this show....

4. Slightly off-topic, but how...

did a nice word like "reality" ever get mixed up with a bunch of freaks on the TV?
