IMHO, the first episode came pretty close to being a decent
documentary about sorority rush. The scenes where Leah, Leslie, and
Pauli were debating how doing rush with the cameras there was going to
affect the chapter were really quite good and reminded me of debates
that took place in my chapter during rush. Even putting the issue of
the Pledge House aside, any documentary about pledges isn't going to
be as interesting as focusing on the actives because they are the
sorority, not the pledges, duh...
However all indications are that the series will slowly go downhill
from here. There are not going to be any real hardcore conflicts
(i.e., Puck on the old Real World or the infamous "Slap Episode"), so
why bother? It's too realistic for cheap thrills and to artificial to
be an interesting depiction of it's subject matter. It just occupies
a middle ground where nothing really interesting happens.
