There's investigative journalism..

..and then there's investigative journalism. From The Wave ("The Bay Area's Best Entertainment Magazine... Ever") we have Blind Date, Leiderhosen, and Me: Deep inside the world of reality dating shows.
People don’t tune in to see true romance, but to see people FAIL and/or look STUPID! (and occasionally “get busy”). Reality dating shows aren’t about true romance; they’re about making good television. And I think it can be agreed that I make good television. That’s why I must infiltrate Blind Date.

Thanks to skamille for this, uh, enlightening story. :)

The Wave is also a treasure trove for articles by Seanbaby, who is a GOD OF TEH INTARWEB.

Mmm, seanbaby. One of the many sites that I know exist and are very entertaining, but that I never visit.
