I’m pretty sure Bruce Jenner was a pretty respectable Olympian, Wheaties boxes etc.. somewhere along the line his life took a turn for the douche when he spawned this metro-sexual and married into the Kardashian family.
Brody Jenner’s new reality show Bromance debuts tonight on MTV. Check out the trailer:
Dude, MTV is making fun of you, and so are we. Bromance? Really man? You’re not seeing this? Oh that’s right it’s “an intense brotherly bond that makes 2 buddies become virtually inseparable.” You’re trying to tell me and yourself that this is not a man-on-man gay dating show. I believe you, no really I do. I mean, you have a bunch of guys move into a frat house, and apparently they cry when you vote them off each week. THAT DOESN’T SOUND LIKE A REALITY DATING SHOW AT ALL.
Dude. BROMANCE, just look at the title, come on now. Your waxed brows and inverted raccoon eye-tanlines aren’t helping either.
So tonight, if you’re ready to see yet another LA rich kid crash and burn, tune in to see this: “9 dudes are yanked out of their boring lives and go from regular Joe’s to bro’s, vying for the chance of a lifetime — to become best buds with Brody Jenner and live a life right out of the pages of Maxim magazine. The contestants live in a frat house, and they never know which of Brody’s famous friends and family members could be stopping by.”
Let’s see how many faux-celebs can fit into that closet.
Here’s Brody talking about the show to E!’s Marc Malkin:
On dude’s crying:
“I did this whole sit-down with these guys, which we called Broprah. I was sitting around and would say, ‘OK, now tell me about…’ and then all of a sudden it got to be like, ‘Whoa!’ We’re uncovering some deep stuff. These big, grown guys are sitting around crying over being friends with a dude.”
On crying himself:
“We started to get into family things and everybody started crying. I’m sitting there and you know when everybody around you is crying, how do you not cry? It was hard not to. So there was one time I almost shed a tear.”
On the token gay guy leaving before the first elimination:
He explained to Jenner he was disappointed to find that Bromance was more Animal House than The Hills. “He was waxed and all ready to go,” Jenner says, “but he thought he was going to meet Lauren Conrad.”
On the hot tub eliminations:
“It’s kind of homoerotic and I love people saying that. I’m cool with my sexuality and the gender that I like and I have a beautiful girlfriend. That’s why I feel so comfortable with having these awkward guy moments.”
I’m not convinced Brody is really aware of the fact that he’s hosting a gay dating show. Maybe Jenner-sidekick Frankie Delgado can convince us otherwise. Delgado explained to the NY Post how the show differs from Paris Hilton’s BFF show:
Frankie Delgado: It’s just so much crazier. No one gets to live in a big mansion, they live in a ghetto house and are all sharing one bed. It’s like building our frat, in a way.
Ooof. Well, there’s love in the air on MTV tonight. Maybe eat a late dinner and tune in to Whitney Port’s The City instead.. the Hills spinoff that’s not going to be canceled after the first season.
