I'd like to see the other girls living in the "Pledge House" and not just Candace and Jordan 90% of the time. I'm sure they're both nice young women having fun, but the image that MTV has given both of them hasn't been that complimentary.

But then the show would be a real documentary -- which this one isn't. It's entertainment. Drama. Selected people in a selected setting. It's theatre, very loosely based around a few facts.
I heard somewhere (that makes this a rumor and I'll label it as such) that Jordan will become an MTV VJ as a result of this show. Boy, there's some journalistic integrity for you!
They may be nice young women. They may be gold diggers who pledged just to be on MTV. They may have been planted by MTV. Who knows? I'd be very interested to hear from someone from Davis whether they were undergraduates there before this whole thing began. Does anyone know them? Were they, in fact, recruited by MTV?
The point, I guess, is that day to day sorority life simply isn't exciting enough for "reality" TV, so MTV has manufactured the Pledge House and only shows scenes it can control and that will "sell."
But we all expected that going in. Didn't we?
I wonder how many women will rush/pledge "Sigma" next year and want to live the the Pledge House -- which will be gone.
This whole program is manipulated. It would almost be funny -- if it weren't so sad.
