Survival of the Richest

<p>Anyone seen this show?</p>

<p>Are all Harvard grads like Hunter? Hes this guy that flaunts his money and shows of the languages he knows. Not really PC.</p>

<p>Of course he’s flaunting his money. HE’S ON A FRIGGING REALITY TV SHOW ABOUT FLAUNTING MONEY. HE IS AN ACTOR.</p>

<p>He’s sort of a campus legend, although I don’t know him personally and haven’t seen the show, so I can’t say whether his personality on the show is an accurate depiction of either his real personality or Harvard students’ personalities in general.</p>

<p>PCness has nothing to do with it</p>

<p>Generalization is impossible.</p>

<p>I’m not going to take up the reality villain’s cry of, “It wasn’t my fault. The editors made me look like an **<strong><em>.” I was a huge </em></strong> on the show. And I was fantastic at it.</p>

<p>Because you see the real reason to do reality TV is for your own personal amusement and the only reason to watch reality TV is for your own personal amusement. The reason not to watch is for some wider socio-political understanding. Clearly I hope you know this and yet so many don’t. For while Survival of the Richest purports to be an examination of an America divided along financial lines it really serves as an examination of an America divided along lines of belief. It just so happens that these two lines fall in roughly the same place.</p>

<p>During the course of the show, in true reality and I might add personal fashion, I make a spectacle of myself. I walk around the house in pink pashminas, swim only in a wetsuit and regularly drop such salacious soundbites as, “I like to make waitresses cry and then when they’re most upset I usually sleep with them.” That people understood my tongue was placed firmly in cheek didn’t surprise me.</p>
