Chris goes to Kentucky with “police and media escorts.”

Jun. 13, 2005, 7:30 am | 0 comments

Have you ever wondered what it’d be like to taste fame? To live the life that just a relatively few people get to live? Ever wondered what it’d be like after you win Survivor and Or what would happen if you were a barnacle on one such person?

Wonder no more: If you’re Chris Daugherty, Survivor Vanuatu‘s champion, and his losing pal Travis “Bubba” Sampson, you get to go to Six Flags Kentucky Kingdom. And play in a celebrity softball tournament. And go to a police and firefighter’s ball. In Kentucky Wow. The life most of us will never experience.

Actually, I kid because I’m jealous: the bastards got to skip all the lines at Six Flags. And they had “police and media escorts.” A spokesperson for the park told the Courier-Journal, “Basically, we do whatever they (celebrities) ask us if it’s not too unreasonable.” And she wasn’t even being ironic.

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!
