A&E's "FYI" Channel Is the New Bravo for Reality TV


The FYI Channel by A&E is taking shiz to the next level!  Reality TV kind of peaked on Bravo with the Housewives and everyone trying to copy it.  E! just keeps pouring money into the Kardashians as their major source of trashy content.  How many shows can one family have?  Re-dick-ulous (no offense to Bruce Jenner)

Recently, I have been binge watching FYI through their app (Roku, AppleTV, etc) - side note: love that they have an app!  Other networks need to catch the F up if they are going to stay relevant.  DVRs are the new VHSs.

"Married at First Sight" is the jewel in their crown.  The concept?  Four experts (therapist, sex doctor, spiritualist and a sociologist) match three couples that have never met to get married at first sight!

Season one features my fav couple Jamie and Doug, who get off to a very rocky start, as Jamie's like "he's super gross!"  To be fair, Jamie is way hotter than him, but she's super high maintenance, totally judgmental and frankly, can be kind of a beeyotch!  So the experts put her with a not so hot, but super nice guy who would be patient and wait three months before getting into her Victoria Secrets.  I say, brilliant work on the part of the experts.  Spoiler alert: totally worked!!

Season two is following in the footsteps of season one with one of the brides, Jaclyn, being "I watched "The Notebook" like 5,000 times and this is not it!"  Talk about pressure!  Here's the rub... she's for realz not as hot as Jamie, so she needs to slow her roll.  I get that Ryan R. isn't the hottest of lunches, but neither is Jaclyn.  Sean and Davina are my fav couple so far this year.  I have high hopes for them.

I of course am watching the spin off "The First Year" which follows our first season couples of "Married At First Sight" as they continue to build on their marriage.  All in all a great show!

I'm about to start watching "Find My First Love" because that sounds like it's going to be a winner.  Bitches, you broke up for a reason!  They have a host of other awesome shows... check them out here http://www.fyi.tv/shows
