i think this show would be one of the most popular shows on television if they actually put "real" celebrities on it. i don't understand why the big name celebrities with addiction problems don't do it. i guess they think it will hurt their careers or would just be to embarrassing for them.
i believe it would help their careers truthfully, it would take them off their pedestals and bring em down to the rest of us normal people. the average joe n' jane would connect with them and be hooked. i mean this is already a celebrity-media driven world...the people would eat this shit up if mel gibson, charlie sheen, lindsay lohan (isn't a bigtime celebrity but gets a ton of pub still), paris hilton (same with lohan) etc. etc.
it will never happen though.
