I Want to Be MADE

Today’s blog post is about the MTV show, Made. For those unfamiliar with the show, the MTV production team picks a person, often a high school student and in a Cinderella-like fashion turns that person into something they aren’t. Some common examples are the girl who’s a major tom boy who wants to be a girly girl model, a band geek who wants to be a rapper, and the shy, bookworm who yearns to be the center of attention. MTV brings in professionals to coach the person-in-”need” and the whole process is documented for TV. This reality show seems to always have a completely hopeless case and in the end, brings them great success. (Think of the innocent character Sandy in her major transformation at the end of the show, Grease.)

I have joked about this show with friends in the past, saying how I would want to be on this show and be “made” into a professional hockey player’s wife. I think the show should also cater to those people (i.e: myself) who still want to be Made, yet who are well beyond high school. This way, MTV could expand it’s “older” folks viewership. Their first episode for the “out of high school age group” could be mine. Plus, MTV wouldn’t have to promote getting married at such a young age, like 18 or younger. It would be for a person who is more of an appropriate marrying age (mid-twenties at least).
