My new favorite show: Next

So I really understand the idea of Love/Hate because I love and hate the mtv show Next. First, click the link if you don't know how the show works. Second, I'll explain why I hate it: because it's childish, the people are shallow, and its just a car crash of a show. Finally, why I love it:

So, last week I thought the show hit an all time high when a quasi-cross dressing fella named Matthew was a dater on the show. Our friend Matthew wasn't only strangely dressed but he actually called himself "Matthew Fashion." To the contestant's credit, he actually didn't "next" Mr. Fashion at first sight. Since the contestant was a "division one" college basketball player the date involved playing basketball. Needless to say little Matty wasn't very good, and running around in an interesting dress-like outfit probably didn't help. He got nexted. (Side note: if the contestant was really a division one basketball player, he must be having a hard time if he still plays, considering he just admitted to being gay on MTV.)

Anyways you're probably asking yourself, is that it? Is this worthy of a posting. And I say to you "Nay Nay!" What I watched about 10 minutes ago is. This was THE MOMENT in Next history. I don't see how they top this, although I wasn't sure how they would top "Matthew Fashion", but this one certainly did the trick.

So this guy who openly admits he is picky, "nexts" the first 2 girls the second they get off the RV. The third girl, last a bit until he finds out that she has piercings "down there." Okay I can sort of see that, so we move on to the fourth girl. She seems nice, eats shellfish even though she doesn't like it, and even obliges the guy when he starts asking about the final girl. The girl gets a little too truthful and the guy nexts her to meet the finally dater. So on comes our WINNER, the fifth and final dater. As she is getting of the RV she tells us and the other daters that she needs to go to the bathroom. She arrives at the date, and it seems like she was able to make it to the bathroom and starts talking to the guy. The guy asks what kind of guy she likes and out of nowhere, and I'm not kidding, she pees herself. They show the floor beneath her and there is a puddle of... well you know. Then they go to pants and you see a big wet spot where there should be one. She sits there sheepishly, as the guy notices and yells "Next!" As she gets up, they show you her chair, freshly soiled. I sat there STUNNED.

Needless to say, you need to catch this episode and the Matthew Fashion one too... just amazingly frightening television from the folks over at MTV.
