Interesting? I find it a mockery and...well, something whose purpose is obviously to ridicule and laugh at these people more than anything.

Are you fucking kidding me?
I think if these people fall under 2 or more of these categories, then they probably deserve to have their obsession exploited.
Seriously, it's just another stereotype pointed at anime and manga fans.

Rachel: Huh...a...moo point?
Joey: Yeah. It''''s like a cow''s opinion. It doesn''t matter....It''s moo.

Well they are probably going to choose the three geekiest people they can find. Or they'll have a for the most part "normal" person, a sorta of very obsessed person, and then a very very sad case.
Oh and probably a yaoi fan girl.

I've already seen episodes of this topic. Its kinda...sad. D: Tiff is right, it does seem like they are trying to mock these people.
A couple of the episodes were streaming on MTV's site. They are both girls who attend cosplay meetups, run clubs, and sometimes go to school in cosplay.

You know there's something fishy going on when MTV want to make a reality show.
Doesn't sound ground breaking to me. I've seen people being followed with a camera dozens of times before.Interested applicants can click on the “True
