VH1 has a Meaniful Reality Show FINALLY.

I stumbled across the 1st episode of sex rehab about 3 weeks ago and have been watching dutifully every week. VH1 gives EVERY one a reality show,Ray J, Master P, Eddie Griffin, Brett Michaels. They even give Reality stars there own reality shows. When I saw the cast for Sex Rehab, I thought here goes another group of has beens revealing their sordid Sexcapades.

I didn't think we (the viewers) would be allowed to explore the inner demons of 8 troubled individuals so deeply. I was in tears as Dunacan Roy, a writer & director, shared his physically and sexually abusive childhood (done by his own father) with Dr. Drew. All of the 5 females share a horrible experience of being raped. Skid Row drummer Phil Varone was one who had a great childhood but his addictions spiraled after his mom died 11 years ago.

I strongly disagree with the daily news article " Viewers will watch for the sex not rehab".


When they send out previews to the media its usually only 1 episode or about 15 minutes. The patients are not even remotely proud of their past sexual experiences, they are ashamed.
There are some juicy moments such as those caused by Kari Ann Peniche, who appeared in Playboy and lost her Miss United States Teen. Her actions even caused a staff member to be fired.
It airs Sunday nights on VH1.
