Just when we thought the reality reckoning had died down, here comes Vice TV with a new entry into the conversation. They just debuted the trailer for their upcoming show, Dark Side of Reality TV, and they have none other than the OG of the OC, Vicki Gunvalson speaking out against Bravo.
To be clear, this isn’t just a hit piece on Bravo. For once, this isn’t just the mad rantings of a former employee. Instead, this is an expansion to the Dark Sided franchise that has already exposed multiple entertainment industries. So far, they’ve also covered professional wrestling and comedy. The reality TV edition aims to cover the entire spectrum of reality TV, from Survivor to Hell’s Kitchen.
The Dark Side of Reality TV trailer
For the upcoming series, the producers managed to wrangle major reality stars, including Dr. Terry Dubrow and Omarosa Manigault. They’ll be joined by a plethora of reality TV producers, cast members, and crew as they shine a light on the drama that the cameras didn’t capture.
The trailer shows a glimpse of Vicki’s confessions about her time on Real Housewives of Orange County. In the trailer, you hear her describe some qualms with Bravo. She said, “I’ll never forgive Bravo for that.”
The quote is out of context, so it’s not clear what she’s referring to. It could be the fact that she’s still frustrated about getting ousted from a show she helped create. Either way, the fact that she said she would “never forgive” Bravo is pretty stunning. It’s as if that Wifetime Achievement Award meant nothing!
As devotees to the genre of reality TV, this series will definitely be appointment television. If it ends up being a letdown, then it could be the final pin in the reality reckoning’s coffin.
Dark Side of Reality TV premieres on Vice, on September 3, 2024.
