Seriously, pHunk looks like he's 15, so he'll be the kid. We'll cast splat as the detached overworking money grubbing dad. Girlski can be the step mom. pHunk can then not invite Blurred, and md9 can slide on the chili at the party.
God, this thing writes itself... and we'll all take home a nice check. :FIREdevil

Free promo for PM Gear. Nice thinking.

You turned out alright and I seem to remember your Sweet 16 party being off the hook. Glen Plake was the MC, Stump filmed everything, and there were guest appearances by Scot Schmidt, Doug Coombs, AND Geoff Small.

I have a friend who was on the 2nd Real World (LA) and keeps doing things like The Gauntlet - She gets paid $20k and an extra bonus for making it through each challenge.

edit to add: So if MTV is paying anything toward the Sweet 16 budget, it's MAYBE 10k. I could find out with one call, if anyone is really interested.

Who's your friend? I hate to confess, but I watch the show ...

From my friend who is a big reality show producer (Big Brother), including a couple for MTV:

"Don't know about MTV paying for those parties -- but based on the little I
know, I don't think they do. I think part of the conceit is that these
parties are really happening, etc. That said, there usually is some
contribution the network makes somewhere along the road...."

This show is hilarious. These people are all so disconnected from reality it's amazing.

My favorite episode was the one (from last season, I think) with the tennis player kid. He'll never live that one down. What a little bitch-boy.

Mommy! A Escalade? Not a Ferrari? What the hell is that?

Proof that money doesn't buy happiness, just conflict and bitchy little pre-maddonas.

Has anyone on here seen Laguna Beach? Same basic thing, rich kids being rich kids, only instead of just seeing them at a pary, you see their whole lives for months on end. Why do all rich guys turn into metrosexuals?

When I was woolly and those kids came to mammoth, I chucked mad amount of snow balls at said metrosexuals/underage chicks.
