No Photo Retrospective for Ill-fated New Reality TV Show, “Soul Mate”
By admin on Jan 26, 2010 in New Reality TV Show, Soul Mate Compatibility
Lining up for Soul Mate auditions
All the contestants were aspiring singers, just as Brienne Cross was when she burst onto the music scene in 2006 with her second-place finish on “America’s Newest Star.”
The show was a mish-mash from the beginning. Not only were the producers looking for someone who could sing back-up on Brienne Cross’s new album, but the real prize was for the person who could become Brienne’s best friend and confident, someone with soul mate compatibility, a far cry from Survivor the reality TV show.
Writer Nick Holloway, who covered the project for Vanity Fair, said in an interview with The Aspen News that the atmosphere was “divisive.” He would not elaborate, but did mention that in addition to writing a series of essays about the everyday workings of this new reality TV show, he took hundreds of photographs. Holloway, in conjunction with Vanity Fair, was planning to produce a photo retrospective of the taping.
In the aftermath of the Aspen Massacre, Vanity Fair has decided not to publish Holloway’s essays, and it is doubtful these photos will ever see the light of day.
