Better schedule your Botox treatment soon, because we are currently the center of reality television’s often cringe-worthy, always entertaining universe. In light of a few recent shows with local ties—A&E’s Lachey’s Bar, documenting Nick and Drew’s new OTR bro-and-cougar hangout; MSNBC’s Lockup: Cincinnati, chronicling life in the Hamilton County Justice Center; and A&E’s Neighbors with Benefits, partying with the swingers of Morrow—we took a stab at predicting our next round of reality stars. This is what happens when Cincinnatians stop being polite and start getting real.
