Who is gandee

Which is, of course, genius. In the big dig for the next prime-time-ready pocket of American strangeness, the richest mother lode by far turned out to be the American South, or more broadly Redneck America.

Last year, MTV faced a looming, immoderately tan problem. Jersey Shore, after six profitable though declining seasons, was coming to an end. Across the network, prime-time ratings were down by 31 percent over the previous year. Buckwild followed what has become standard docu-soap procedure.

Various cast members slept, fought, and made up with various other cast members. There were improvised stunts—a dump-truck pool, a human slingshot—that were only slightly exaggerated versions of the sorts of things most of the cast members were used to doing anyway. It was a lifestyle with some hazards. Ashley bruised her T7 vertebra bull-riding, and Shain spit up blood after doing the human slingshot. She knew everyone would love Shain because of his personality and the way none of the cast members took themselves seriously.

They were making people forget about their problems for a little bit. The cast members felt the impact of their incipient fame almost immediately. I was just being bombarded all the time. Shain loved being on the show but was ambivalent about the celebrity that came with it. Fans from as far away as Canada and Nebraska showed up in Wolfpen Hollow. Followed at the flea market, he got in his truck to go use a bathroom elsewhere.

On Thursday nights, they would gather to watch episodes of the show, and Shain would nitpick and give a running commentary of what was really going on behind each scene. He demanded a library atmosphere. After the early shows got good ratings, all the cast members were flown out to L. They were told that the key threshold for a new show was to get a second season—once achieved, odds favored at least three more. Stop doing that.

Members of the cast knew that a second season could open things wide for them—the pay upgrade from season one to two was reportedly percent—and when the show got renewed, they began to allow themselves fantasies about the future.

One of the drawbacks of packaging and commercializing authenticity is that it becomes increasingly hard to recognize the real thing. Spotting them used to be so simple. It gets harder and harder. Ofir still approaches casting the way he did promoting when he was a club kid in the nineties working for places like Limelight. C counter girl, the boutique-hotel concierge, the club doorman, the gatekeepers of any city.

Media-trained, clearly. He knew what I wanted, did three takes on each question, got better and better. He was aiming to please. He was great. But the ideal reality star will always be someone who comes by his wildness honestly.
