PLEASE NOTE: The Reality TV World Message Boards are filled with desperate attention-seekers pretending to be one big happy PG/PG13-rated family. Don't be fooled. Trying to get everyone to agree with you is like herding cats, but intolerance for other viewpoints is NOT welcome and respect for other posters IS required at all times. Jump in and play, and you'll soon find out how easy it is to fit in, but save your drama for your mama. All members are encouraged to read the complete guidelines. As entertainment critic Roger Ebert once said, "If you disagree with something I write, tell me so, argue with me, correct me--but don't tell me to shut up. That's not the American way."

I liked your posting. I can't fault your logic on most of what you've said, and I find many thoughts genuine and unique. Thank you for some fresh insights. On the other hand, I happen to like Matt very much, which may be attributed to the fact of his awareness of an audience, but how far has that gone on other reality shows? Com'on, truthfully now?
I haven't met a person my entire life, (except one-flesh and blood) who lives out many contradictions. Many of us find ourselves like the digital monk in one of Douglas Adams' books, programmed to simultaneously hold 13 contradictory thoughts in our minds.** I guess for that, we are all Schmo's (fools) to varying degrees. But I have a hard time pointing at someone else and calling them a fool.
Matt, for all his weaknesses and strengths, is for real, I believe. "But none of it is real..." Like Jim Carey's character on the Truman Show, he is what is genuine in the middle of all the tomfoolery. He is real.
On the other hand: So...Let he who is never a schmo be the first to pick up the stone and throw.

**Edit: Even your own screenname, DUOTONE, may suggest to many that you have two (or more) contradictory messages (hey, everything is open to conjecture, here), but I'm sure you have your own reasons.
