Poor Yasmin. She wasn't anywhere near as wild, or crazy, or... well... interesting as she thought she was, but she was essentially a nice enough girl. And she has now become one of the quickest casualties of Reality TV ever, as Ten's completely abominable Yasmin's Getting Married gets axed. Right now. As of tomorrow.

 

Will Byron still be so taken by Yasmin, without the added bonus of money and faux-fame? Probably not. You've heard of singles that come with "baggage". Try being the girl who was so boring, her reality TV show lasted a week - a reality TV show where Yasmin had announced to the country that she was so desperate and unable to get a man, she needed a reality TV show.

 

It's the cruellest irony, and perhaps the final spit in the face, when you consider that to make sure we don't think Ten, heaven forbid, exploit their reality talent, they've announced that Yasmin will be compensated by having her "real" wedding paid for, "if" that should ever happen! Maybe she can do a deal with Byron and they can split the Ikea between them.

 

Because it's not like you can blame Ten for the show failing. No, no, this is our fault! What was Ten's official reasoning behind the failure of the show? Was it because it was shit? No, no, David Mott, Ten's chief programming director, illuminated us all. It was because the audience... wait for it... "wasn't ready" for this "bold new initiative". Which, of course, is Newspeak for "Sadly, Ten made another shithouse reality show, and the consumers seem to have more taste then our programming department thought they would."

 

Stephanie Mcintosh, we can only hope you're next.
