DON'T MESS WITH TEXAS (THE REALITY SHOW)


The last time you may see the two people in the middle alive


Jon Ingalls, a friend of mine, is a writer on "Popularity Contest," a new reality show on CMT, Country Music Television. (How does one "write" for a reality show?)

The premise of this show is that ten city slickers move into the tiny farming town of Vega, Texas (pop: 936) to compete to be named the town's "most popular" resident.

I know it's a reality show tradition for the non-white contestants (if any exist) to be eliminated early.

But I think this show is going to be different. As a former non-white resident of a small rural farming town, I'm going to predict that the two black contestants will not be voted off early.

Rather, I believe the Texans will chase, lynch, bomb, drag, shoot, or cross-burn the black contestants folk off the show.

You can check out showtimes here. Who knows? This might be compelling television.
