Toni Ferrari performs on reality TV CD, says she wants “to be known as” an actress.
Paradise Hotel‘s Toni Ferrari promised to go away, but alas, she’s still around. Now she’s talking to TV Guide about her role performing on the new holiday CD produced by the reality TV sewer known as The Fishbowl. Holiday in the Fishbowl: Performed by the Reality TV Singers. So why is Toni singing, along with other unlikely reality TV singers such as Survivor Amazon‘s Rob Cesternino? Toni says, “it’s just addictively fun. I got to play with other reality stars and watch my little sister [fast friend McKibbin] singing her heart out.” Despite her continued reality TV presence–she says that “My bags are packed and the car is running” in the event The Surreal Life producers call–she still has no self-awareness and says that her real “career aspiration is to be known as one of the good character actresses of our generation, not a reality star!”

about reality blurred

Welcome! I’m Andy Dehnart, a writer who obsessively and critically covers reality TV, focusing on how it’s made and what it means.

I created reality blurred 22 years ago as a place to collect interesting links I found. Today, I review and recommend reality shows, documentaries, and nonfiction entertainment; analyze news and report from behind the scenes; and interview people who create and star in reality TV shows. You'll also find other people's insightful takes on reality TV in these pages, too.

I believe pop culture can both entertain and affect us, and so reality blurred's goal is to amplify the best and hold the worst accountable. In other words, I’m here to call it out when it sucks and celebrate it when it’s amazing. Let’s talk about it together!
