\"\"We may now have our own MTV Desi<\/a><\/em>, but all of a sudden we also have a bunch of desis on MTV.  Sonia<\/a> points us to a new MTV reality show, ingeniously (from a minimalist perspective) titled The Reality Show<\/a>, that debuts tonight at 10:30p.m.<\/p>\n\n

Are you a reality TV junkie? Then it’s time to take your addiction to the next step. Help MTV choose the next big star on The Reality Show.<\/blockquote>\n\n

Basically 10 final contestants<\/a> or duos will compete for 9 weeks.  At the end of that period the person(s) with the most interesting “real life” will get their own reality show.  Why not?  In the running are two cousins from Virginia Beach named Karishma and Bansri<\/a>.  See, it seems our dynamic duo, that apparently come from well-off families, told their parents they were coming to L.A. to work at internships.  In reality they came here just to party!  And party some more.  In fact, if they get their own show it will be a show about Indian girls partying in L.A.  Will hilarity ensue when their parents find out that they are not<\/em> in fact “good Indian girls?”<\/p>\n\n

Will these two party monsters have their life come crashing down when their parents show up? Will they find the hot parties and keep their parents placated with the lies?<\/strong> Or are they headed for a train wreck? Follow the all the cross-cultural chaos in “Karma Chameleons.”<\/blockquote>\n\n

Holla at yo’ boy.  I live in LA.  I like to party hardy too.  My parents used to think I was a hard working student but then they uncovered my double life as a blogger (among other things), and all the booze and women such a life involves.  Maybe these girls will invite me out with them some time.  I know people.  Come to think of it, why isn’t there a reality T.V. show based on my<\/em> life?  <\/p>\n\n

“We’re Karishma and Bansri and we like the boom<\/a>…”<\/em><\/p>\n\n

\n\"\"MTV also has a relatively new show called Nick Cannon Presents Wild ‘N Out<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n

Watch as Nick Cannon and a new A-list celebrity lead a team of improv comedians<\/strong> each week as they compete against each other in the new show<\/blockquote>\n\n

One of the improv comedians is UT graduate Rasika Mathur<\/a> (thanks for the tip Mona).  There is a clip<\/a> (fourth one down and about a minute into the clip) on the MTV website where Rasika schools her opponent in a rap battle after the girl uses a lame-ass “curry” insult against Rasika.  Wild ‘N Out is on at 10p.m. on Thursdays.<\/p>\n\n

Update:<\/em> Manish points me to Rasika’s blog<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
