Chad Rogers from Bravo's "Million Dollar Listings". Not since Ricky Gervais's created "The Office's" 'David Brent' has someone developed a character that is so pitiful, so pathetic, such an ingratiating dah-oooosh bag, that if Chad were actually a real person you could only explain his existence the same way you explain the slow onset of Alzheimer’s , an underdeveloped parasitic twin, or a tsunami that rolls through a children’s burn unit—just a cruel and inexplicable abnormality of Mother Nature.
But luckily, Chad nor his two co-stars of this show are actually “real” because, reality TV is scripted--so the people themselves or writers are creating these characters! That’s how I keep reconciling the onslaught of these types that keep riding onto the airways—none of them are real…reality television is scripted. The Bravo Channel and E! are boiling over with these sorts of programs, such as “The Hills”, “The Real Desperate Housewives”, “Sunset Tan”, etc. But thank God, they aren’t real.
Because if Bravo and The E! Channel’s TV programming were real—they would be, on a human level, about as explainable as Krakow and Aushwitz.
