My name is Turk182 and this is Reality TV Guide, where we came to make everyone feel better about themselves, and welcome back to another installment of “Are You For Real?”
The debate on reality TV is an ongoing argument that consists of one question: is it real or fake? Everyone tries to investigate a reality show and figure out if it really is unscripted or if it’s artificial like a laugh track on Victorious. But every now and then, that question takes on another form. You hear about a reality show from the past, and you have a hard time believing that this show ever existed at one point. In this segment, we take a look at several reality shows that you never heard of at all or probably forgot they really existed. On that note, let’s talk about today’s show: Spring Break Challenge.
On the surface, it looks like some show decided to highlight the horrors of Spring Break and somehow borrow the other part of its name from The Challenge. But when you look at it further, it’s really a show that decided to highlight the horrors of Spring Break and actually turn out to be a one-off shoot from The Challenge franchise. Yeah, there was a time that The Challenge got so pandering that they even did a version of the show at MTV Spring Break, because… allowing the cast of Are You The One? to compete on your show isn’t embarrassing enough.
One of the main indicators that it’s going to be a very bad experiment is that Johnny Bananas turned it down. Yeah, when Johnny Bananas of all people realizes that he’s better than a spring break Challenge and declines a spot on it, you’re already in for a rough experience.
