I love my reality television!

I am a poster child for reality television. In fact, even printed off the application and filled it out to be part of "The Biggest Loser" but decided against it because I didn't want the world seeing how fat I was!

One reality show that I have really been keeping up with is PayPerPost's Rock Startup. It's up to episode twelve now. Each episode depicts the ongoings of a start-up dot.com blogging for money company.

I like how it's the "real story". It's behind the scenes and you really get to see the highs and lows of the company! Ted Murphy is the Owner/President/CEO and an absolute maniac! He seems like a really cool guy to work for and the videos show how his team celebrates their successes.

I really like watching these episodes because I get to see some of the people who review my posts! It's really nice seeing a face to the name! Of course, the only time I hear from these people is when I've messed up!

My favorite episode of course was Episode three. They moved into a new office. The old office was dark and the cubicles were the size of a child's playpen - minus the comfy pad. In the episode they gave us a tour of the new offices and it looks like they're really moving up! The episode shows some of the struggles and joys of moving into a new space, working with contractors, and making sure internet is up and running!

I also liked seeing how they decided to meet with the radio stations and run some advertising. It sounds like Ted is willing to "test the water" and I think it's really going to pay off. Not to mention, that commercial was damn cool!

Check it out:



One thing that I can really appreciate about PayPerPost (aside from my awesome "paychecks") is that everyone looks like they work their butt off...but still have a good time and it's like a big family!

Why can't I get a job at PPP? Then again...I haven't seen many big mamas on reality television!

The only thing that I would change is showing more of the dynamics between the team. Also, I'd like to see more information about how the company is funding, interactions of the advertisers with PPP, and more boardroom footage.
