| Description | The last time we blogged about Freshman Year, CNN's You Tube-y reality show about two totally different congressmen picked to serve in the House, we had these predictions for forthcoming episodes: Conservative Utah father-of-three Jason Chaffetz gets drunk in a hot tub; liberal and openly gay Jared Polis of Boulder gets kicked out of a nightclub; and both of them get into a nasty, spit-in-your-face fight with Nancy Pelosi over who drank the last Red Bull.
Sadly, none of that happened. Last night, we watched episodes five through ten, and after losing nearly all faith in democracy (judging by the show, it seems that all freshman congressmen do is eat cheeseburgers and complain about foot blisters), we decided that one of them -- either burger-loving Chaffetz or blister-hating Polis -- must be voted off the island. Our vote is Polis.
Here's a breakdown of why, episode by episode. |
