The One

The cattiness. The fights. The shaming. I don't generally watch reality television, but I definitely don't watch reality dating shows. Besides the fact that it's completely staged, it's a horrible depiction of people—women especially. Women are pitted against each other to compete for the affection of a man they "fall in love" with after a week or two. I call B.S. It is complete crap. So when my best friend, Koko, was hired as a makeup artist on the set of the most popular reality dating show, The One, I teased her mercilessly. She told me that if I didn't stop teasing her, she would get me back. And she did… Which is how I ended up as a contestant on The One.
