So I can explain why I'm writing a blog about MTV's Bromance, a show about Brody Jenner's quest to find a new "bro" out of a group of nine contestants from across the nation. It all started with the worst intentions, I swear.
Last week I was on Facebook chatting with someone when she started talking about how there were a couple new MTV shows starting and she really wanted to watch them, but she was stuck somewhere that did not have cable. Given that situation, did I:
a) offer to record them like a good person
b) apologize and go on conversing
c) watch and give a play by play of everything that was happening, laughing hysterically all the way
Knowing me, of course I chose a combination. I started with c, but I gradually felt bad and chose a. I'm a bastard, but I'm not a monster.
Anyways, something odd happened while watching the show. I knew it was really bad. Don't get me wrong, this show is full of stupid people, melodrama, and ridiculousness. It was like a trainwreck, but in true trainwreck form, you really can't look away. Two weeks in, I'm okay with saying that this show is awesome in an amazingly bad sort of way.
I hate reality television, but I'm in love with MTV's Bromance.
God help me.
A Bromance brewing

Please tell me you still have the second episode recorded!
You better believe it. Saved it just for you! Prepare for maximum entertainment Amy. It's mantastic. That's right.
I look forward to The Soup on Friday, as they will definitely make fun of Brody and his douchebaggy ways.
(And I'll probably sneak an episode in at some point).
Question -- from watching, how in on the joke is Jenner? Or is it just the producers making fun of all involved?
The Soup is fantastic. God I love that show.
The funny thing about Bromance isn't necessarily that they make fun of everyone (they do a bit) but the fact that it's hyperserious. It's like a heterosexual life mate version of the Bachelor, except where everything is just ridiculous and there isn't any kissing.
Just a hint - the last episode included a "Broathalon" in which the bros had to participate in a number of events that Brody himself came up with, followed by a fireside sit down chat between Brody and each potential bro. Let's just say it got pretty emotional.
Genius.
I was so happy that MTV thought to make such a bromantic show, it brought a little tear to my eye...
Thanks for the comment, I appreciate it (as I also appreciate a nice cup of java, as I'm sitting here currently drinking one).
Aaahhh! I just stumbled upon your blog and low and behold, there I am! Well, not entirely me, but a post about me! I like how you kept me anonymous, it almost makes it creepy. Therefore, I will keep this comment anonymous!
BTW, although I thought I would get sucked in to any show that Brody Jenner was a part of, in truth, I can't stand Bromance! It almost physically hurts me to watch it!
Hello "anonymous," if that is your real name!
I think that's part of the reason it's so awesome. It's so flat out ridiculous, it's incredible. That kind of blows my mind that you aren't watching it and I am. How does that end up happening? Thanks for creating a monster.
Also, in case you aren't, you have to watch Rock of Love Bus. It's the best show that has ever existed.
And don't forget Tool Academy - watched it last night and it's definitely worth a viewing...
