How they knew that I loved all of these shows is beyond me and the way that they packaged this? Brilliant. I just hope that Iâm not the only person who watched this. I also hope that somehow some of the kids from âMy Super Sweet Sixteenâ end up on Juvies. Hereâs to wishing!
Ok, so just when I thought this show was getting too serious, the one girl in this episode (Iâll call her âslasherâ) started to talk about how she wanted be a singer and that she was supposed to be on American Idol, but she was in âJuvieâ instead. Then she started singing. I immediately thought, âOk, now thereâs the MTV reality show style I love!â Although, this reality show doesnât seem scripted and that makes me nervous.
So what do these kids do while in this âcops for kidsâ prison system? Well, they get to walk around outside, the girls seem to constantly braid their hair, the guys work on their interviewing skills (really?), they all give themselves lice-treatments, theyâre not allowed to climb trees (random), and they get filmed while doing all of this. Itâs a real win-win.
For me, Juvies was pretty serious overall. I would have liked to see some âprison fist fightsâ and wild kids screaming, âyou donât know me, you donât know meâ as they look into the camera. I was a little let down there, but Iâll let is slide. Iâm hopeful for next weeks episode.
