The improv class happens about 25 minutes in for anybody who doesn't want to watch the whole show :)

The class is being taught by James Grace who runs IO West. This is like the 5th reality show to feature an improv class:

Real World Hollywood (classes taught by Charna Halpern)
Made (with Jill Bernard)
Road Rules (UCB)
Queer Eye for the Straight Guy (Eliza Skinner of I Eat Pandas)

There are probably more that I just can't remember.

Shauna is a mega twat for not telling the realtor guy directly that she wasn't feeling up to the date.

Okay after watching one episode of that show -- even with the Improv -- I can't watch that woman again. She is the exact reason I don't watch most of these reality shows. And to be clear I'm talking about the Matchmaker chic. Although botox lady was no better.

Los Angeles is filled with wonderful people and reality TV brings out the best in them!

I feel compelled to drop the sarcasm of my last post in which I pretended to care about the content of that program. I just want to be clear that I think it's all so, so awful, and I don't watch any reality TV shows. Except for an occasional MythBusters or Cash Cab.

I watched the whole episode. I don't think that a single improv class will give Michael the benefits that come with having a personality. See how off-put he was that Natasha had spunk and joie de vivre?!? Dumbass.

Awful and awesome all at once!

I feel like I'm lost in the irony. Does mo really like Natasha or is she being facetious? Does she not like Michael? Did Aden really enjoy the episode or is she using super-secret NO SARCASM sarcasm? I can't tell.
