VH1 Mob Wives

VH1 has recently begun airing Mob Wives, possibly to try and take back the trashy reality TV crown they used to hold in the mid-2000s with shows like Flavor of Love, Rock of Love and The Surreal Life. This time instead of relying on celebrities who need a career boost, they've traveled to Staten Island. I'm not sure, but I have a hunch that Staten Island is practically it's own country. A country of orange skinned people with jet black hair and strange accents. Mob Wives is train wreck TV, and it's hard to look away. It's the new guilty pleasure generating buzz and controversy.

The show follows around four women whose husbands or fathers are in jail for mob connections. Obviously drama unfolds. The show may already hold the record for the most bleeped out curse words on television. One of the cast members, Drita, was recently on a radio show to promote the show and dropped some F-bombs, which got the host fired. Renee and Drita will most likely be the big stars, as they seem to bring the most, uh, "colorful commentary" with Renee being the most dramatic. It's basically Jersey Shore with older people. Except they are scarier than the Jersey Shore cast.

I'm pretty sure all four of these women could have successful MMA careers if the show doesn't work out. Or when their 15 minutes are up.
