A Reality Television Moment... New York, Get a Real Job

Tiffany "New York" Pollard is one of the examples why reality television sucks. She was an unknown when she hit the scene on "Flavor of Love" with Flavor Flav, and she hasn't left since. After not being chosen during her first season, she returned a season later to be snuffed again for the prestigious role as Flavor Flav's girl (riiiiight). She then decided to go and seek out "love" in two failed attempts in a spin off dating reality show, "I Love New York". She then returned with "New York Goes to Hollywood", where she tried to get her acting career off the ground. But according to her, Hollywood was just too rough. Now she's back with "New York Goes to Work". Why?!

The new show, premiering May 4, will allow viewers to choose from a list of three possible job opportunities each week and vote via mobile phones by texting the job they would like to see her try. What?!

"Don't think it will be easy for Tiffany. She'll be worked, in all aspects of the job," according to the press release on VH1. "If she can impress her new employers, she'll receive a $5,000 bonus each week. But, if she quits, fails or gets fired, she'll get absolutely nothing." Sounds like winner television to me. How about if she does a good job, she gets paid a normal salary for an honest day of work? So, she'll make $5,000 on top of the deal she has with VH1?

I vote that she goes back to doing whatever she was doing before she was introduced to reality television. Can I get the text code for that? Get a real job New York.
