Ariana Madix's New Reality Show is Just a Gimmick to Sell You Ridiculously Priced Live Gigs and Overpriced Booze
Ariana Madix is everywhere right now, but don't be fooled: her new reality show isn't about your entertainment—it's a calculated marketing machine aimed directly at your wallet. Hot on the heels of her "Vanderpump Rules" fame and a "Dancing with the Stars" stint, Madix is launching a show that serves as a 24/7 ad for her upcoming "Something About Her" sandwich shop and a cocktail line that could cost you as much as $18 a pour. The show is designed to make her feel "relatable," but the real plot is driving fans to buy $200 show tickets and premium-priced mixers that you can buy at your local grocery store for half the cost. You're paying for her redemption arc while she cashes in on your desire to feel part of the trend. Don't be a mark—skip the merch and save your cash for something that doesn't have a reality TV editing budget attached.
