Reality Bites: Brace Yourselves For The 2012-13 Reality Season

Page 2 of 3

All The Right Moves - Oxygen

The reality series follows dancers Travis Wall, Teddy Forance, Nick Lazzarini, and Kyle Robinson as they try to launch a new dance company named Shaping Sound.

This apparently premiered during the Olympics. Clever strategy. It returns August 21 to what will hopefully (for them) be a few more viewers.

Life With La Toya - OWN

The series will follow the singer/author as she juggles her demanding career with her even more daunting family life.

Demanding career. That's a good one. And the "daunting family life" aspect consists entirely of keeping Michael's kids from seeing copies of her Playboy issue.

Catfish - MTV

It's a 12-part show that visits couples who fell in love over the Internet -- only to discover the real-life person isn't who he or she had been led to believe.

You mean people...misrepresent themselves on the Internet? I think I need to lie down.

Untitled Mixed Martial Arts show - Spike TV

Officials today announced a new unscripted reality show that will feature Bellator fighters, though details of the series are under wraps for now.

Spike lost UFC to a contract dispute with Fox, so now they get #2 Bellator. More chiseled head cases beating the shit out of each other, though. America.
