Reality Blogging

Matt Haughey

on

You know, with all the DIY/reality programming out there, I'm surprised that I can't find anyone that was ever on MTV's Pimp My Ride that has a blog. Or anyone that was on Overhaulin'. Or anyone ever on Divine Design. Or anyone from HGTV's trifecta Landscaper's Challenge/Designer's Challenge/Weekend Warriors.

I've always wondered what people think of their new spaces/cars/lives six months or a year later. I remember when Trading Spaces first hit a couple tell-all essays from participants showed up in newspapers, but given that millions are blogging, I'm surprised I can't easily find a reality/DIY show alum with a blog somewhere.

Honestly, I just want to hear that having seven monitors or $5k wheels on your car sucks after the camera leaves.
