Schmo Job

I am a serious devotee of reality shows. I would sell my mother to a Chinese brothel if I thought it would get me onto "Big Brother" or "Survivor". I watch these shows religiously... the only religion I have is worshipping Rupert from the Drake tribe.
I also watch "Joe Schmo", for which I started out having zero expectations. I mean, it's a fake reality show. Everyone is an actor except the titular Joe, a genuinely nice guy named Matt.
Most everyone I know cannot begin to fathom why I am so fixated and are seeking professional mental help for me. So, after tonight's near-climactic episode, I was going to write up a complete explanation of just what fascinates me so about this faux-truth program.

Goddamn Slate beat me to it. Damn those professional writers.
