The 'Ultimate Blogger'

Blogs are giving in to one of the most loved and despised trends in mainstream culture . . . a reality TV-style competition. As ridiculous as this may be in my opinion, it was just a matter of time before our beloved medium fell into the evil abyss of reality-style "entertainment" and joined the company of such classics as 'Mr. Personality (the show where the guys wore the mexican-wrestler masks and were judged 'only' on their 'personality'), Who Wants To Marry A Millionaire ? (what a train wreck that was), and 'The Swan' (no comment needed).
The Ultimate Blogger is a reality TV-style competition that began in early May and concludes June 6. The game, on the surface, sounds familiar enough: 12 people compete to be the best blogger in order to win a $500 dollar prize package. Each week consists of two challenges and two eliminations.

The winner of the challenge is determined by the game hosts and guest judges, and the winner is granted immunity for that round, noted by the "Spiritual Beard and Third Eye of Immunity" or the "Not Depressing At All Immunity Orthodontic Headgear and Braces" photoshopped onto their headshots. Then players vote off one blogger, whose headshot is put through a shredder and is asked to "leave the Internet immediately."

Until just one Ultimate Blogger remains.
