Longread #14 -- Leaving Reality -- 1/23/11

I think this article will resonate with anyone who has ever been sucked in to a reality TV show. Sullivan does an amazing job of capturing the feeling of guilty pleasure for the reality TV viewer (oh, Jersey Shore...). At the same time, he provides a fresh perspective on the lives of some of reality TV's most popular actors and actresses. I loved reading this one -- it's a great subject written in a fun and honest voice.
