It just ain't a reality show without a scandal. And more specifically, it just ain't a reality show without a scandal uncovered by The Smoking Gun. Just as every Fox reality show contestant seems to have a dark past-- and it all seems to end up at the Gun's website, so now does the star of NBC's "Bachelor"/"Joe Millionaire" rip-off, "For Love or Money."
According to The Smoking Gun's latest find, star Rob Campos was discharged from the Navy after he got drunk one night and groped a fellow cadet after forcing his way into her room. Nice.
NBC issued the usual statement-- we didn't know the star of our reality show was really a creep, etc. etc.
What is it about reality contestants that they're required to have a checkered past? And why do the investigators hired by the networks and production companies never (snicker, snicker) seem to find out about these histories? It does get people talking though, hmmm?! "For Love or Money" airs tonight at 9 p.m./8 p.m. CT on NBC.
