In 2010, if you are not filming a reality show in New Jersey, then you really are just experimenting in the reality gene. Obviously, New Jersey has special purchase on "real" America: New Jersey housewives owned Bravo, and New Jersey skanks owned Mtv, so E! naturally followed suit with "Jerseylicious" TV show, a marginally real depiction of life in "Gatsby," a strip-mall hair salon. Of course, all of the characters on "Jerseylicious" bear a frightening resemblance to Snooki, but, as the promos are quick to emphasize, "the tans are darker and the teases are higher." On "Jerseylicious", the stylists battle one another for clients and boyfriends"”not in any organized competition, of course, but in that snarky and insidious way that apparently happens as a result of breathing too much Aqua-Net and nail lacquer. The New York Times insightfully notes, "The best-looking person among the workers or the customers is Anthony, the only male member of the staff. There are trumped-up rivalries and domestic tensions galore, none very convincing."

The competition is high and so are the stakes for the U.S. version of The X Factor. Judges have been selected from the cream of the celebrity music crop and with a recording contract worth $5 million the winners in each category will need to be at their best and give the performances of their lives. Simon Cowell is creator of The X Factor and will oversee the talent as well as the judges, assuring the show goes on in an audience pleasing manner. Each of the judges will handle one of the four assigned categories that include boy singers (ages 12-25), girl singers (ages 12-25), group singers, and those who are over the age of twenty five. Unlike other programs of this sort there is no upper age limit for the competitors. Judges will mentor those in their category and offer help and advise as the competition progresses. Getting that advise from the likes of Paula Abdul, Nicole Scherzinger, L.A. Reid, or Simon Cowell himself will be invaluable to the aspiring singers as they have helped fashion many super stars in the music industry. There are to be five competitive stages involved: Auditions by the producers, auditions by the judges, a Bootcamp, visitation to the judges houses, and finally the live shows where it all comes down to a single winner or group. As the five stages of the competition progress, it promises to get more exciting each week
