TOP 5 REALITY TV HEAD-SCRATCHERS

Most of my time at The Crimson has consisted of writing reviews in exchange for playing cookie monster with free press tickets. B-town offers much in the way of aesthetic refinement, but all that classiness does get old after a while. Do it one too many times, and you find yourself short on plus-ones to the ballet.
