Reality TV affects "bachelor"'s real life... he's fired.

He was just fired from his law firm for his hidden past and for being a jerk on the show.

I know most of you don't want reality TV, but I found this interesting nonetheless.

On that show "For Love or Money", The Smoking Gun discovered true details about his past.

All those women on the show were basically fed lies and set up with a jerk who drunkenly groped a female officer when they were in the Navy Justice School in Newport, Rhode Island. (The bachelor, Rob Campos, was punished and his military career was significently derailed).

I guess that's what you get for being on a reality show, but still, it sucks for everyone involved (except for NBC, who'll probably make bank off the ratings).

EDIT: NBC's media site describes Campos as a "handsome and charming Dallas defense attorney." Campos' biography on the Web site of the Mathur Law Offices said that after his Marine Corps training, Campos served in the JAG Corps, the military legal branch. But according to the Smoking Gun, Campos was pulled out of Judge Advocate General training after the incident.

And, he's no longer an attorney.
 
Oh sure, the women are innocent victims, too. Feh, they are all scum on that show. No sympathy for him, or the "contestants."

Actually, my friend here at work (Michelle) was on a reality show a few years back. She said it was called "Who Wants To Date A Prince" or something like that, and she applied ONLY because they offered contestants a free week in Vegas (all expenses paid).

Once she was chosen, she told the show producers she only wanted to be there for the trip, and that she didn't want the "prince" picking her to go on any dates. They said fine (it's all rigged anyhow), so all she had to do was go onstage and say her name/age, and that was it. Free Vegas vacation.

She's a very cool chick, I probably would've done the same... gonna go visit her in Boston in July. 😀
 
I'm looking forward to watching this show on AMC. I'm hoping it might reveal some of the dirty secrets about reality television. It all seems to me more scripted than the networks want to let on.

So why exactly does it matter what he did in the past? It's all just a fantasy they create on the show. I don't exactly care what Arnold did in his past when I am watching T2 or that "Rambo" starred in pornos early on in his career. My life isn't affected by that, I just watch, get entertained, and forget.

It is significant because he did something predatory towards a woman, and the show is all about putting women in compromising situations with him. You don't care about Mike Tyson's history in the ring, but would you care if your sister went on a date with him knowing his history?

But they aren't exactly going on a date with him, they are surrounded by atleast 5-10 crew members at all times. I can see your point though. But reality TV isn't exactly "Real".
 
Well, he pissed all the women off by demeaning them on the last episode anyways, so I guess the show is kind of imitating real life for him.

Hmmm... After that story, I'm not sure "cool" is the word I'd use, to be honest.

*shrugs* She's a cool chick in more ways than one. We delivered a ton of stuff to goodwill last week, which was a lot of fun...
