Bromance

The term bromance can be generally described as a friendship between bros, but much like a romance, it involves higher levels of emotion, commitment, and sensitivity. An entry in Wikipedia speculates that "the financial pressure of staying single longer may lead to men becoming roommates for extended periods, fueling the bromance." This may very well be the case in many instances, but it is certainly not the case for Brody Jenner, star of the MTV reality series Bromance.

Brody, son of Olympian Bruce Jenner is not a dude that needs someone to split the rent and utilities with. His longing for the right wingman could have been sparked by the shortage of true homies in the modeling business, or maybe it was all the drama on The Hills that revealed a higher purpose. Whatever it was, it has sent this hunky socialite on the manhunt of a lifetime. Lather up your faux-hawks, put on your distressed Hollister t-shirt, and grab those aviator shades because you are about to get a cologne drenched sneak peek at Bromance.


The format of the show is the same as any other reality show (especially the Bachelorette) in that it presents a variety of challenges to the contestants in order to weed out the weaklings. In the one episode that I saw, Brody gave each of the remaining guys an opportunity to put together a fun activity to show that they knew how to be a super-rad party animal. One guy laid out a Slip-N-Slide, another one taught the others a bit of choreography...you know, your everyday average guy stuff.

"Hey there, muscly arm."

All the fellas were having fun as the evening went along, but things took a sour turn when one young man's stand-up comedy routine missed its mark, making him the butt of the joke. Ashamed of his performance, heckled into submission, and generally sad about stuff, he made his way to the bathroom "can-fessional" to unload his tearful disappointment. But just as soon as it boiled up, all the testosterone vaporized when the others realized how hurtful their actions were. How uncharacteristically non-tender.

Sadly, at the end of each episode one aspiring bro must go, but just before the curtain falls he mutters something about how Brody really made the wrong choice and how they could've had an amazing bromance using Axe body spray to lure hot mamas into their wicked-awesome frat house for the rest of their lives...and then, you guessed it...he cries.
