'The Surreal Life 4' (VH1)
Everyone knows "The Surreal Life" is a show based on washed-up celebs. But nobody told washed-up '80s rap star Da Brat that. So imagine her horror when she arrived to find Chris (Peter Brady) Knight; former WWE wrestler (and current wacko) Chyna; Jane Wiedlin, guitarist for the Go-Gos, and Verne (Mini-Me) Troyer. Da Brat was pretty mad.
"America's Next Top Model" winner Adrianne Curry and "Zoolander"-esque male model Marcus Schenkenberg brought a boring factor to the house. Luckily, tension kicked in right away. "I'm going to be an angry dwarf," said Troyer when he found out that Chyna had taken the room meant for him. (The clues? A tiny closet, tiny bar and tiny bed.)
"He's going to have to learn to be a bigger person than a little person," retorted Chyna.
"How is she going to fit her fat ass in your bed?" asked Troyer's manager when he called her. Good point.
Now that's good TV: In the end, Chyna moved out of Troyer's room, taking her stuff: 90% booze, 10% clothing, shoes and Thighmaster. Troyer got drunk, then naked, then peed in the hall. So season four kicked off with a bang.
