I came across the first and only reality show that I actually like. Pit Boss showcases four real people who all have a ton of personality.
The main guy is an ex-con who is doing more good than most of us now. The twist is he’s not easy to like, but you love him anyway.
Their mission is to rescue pitt bulls and change the negative stereotype associated with the breed. They can also be seen going into low income neighborhoods with pizza, skateboards and chocolate bars.
The only woman in the show has a smile that kills and when she dances you know everything is going to be okay.
The other two guys seem to have a habit of going above and beyond and they’re not afraid of anything. One is a former cheerleader the other a former bodybuilder.
In one episode the viewers get to meet Linda Blair from the scariest movie of all time, The Exorcist. She seems to be doing really well.
In a day when anyone can get on T.V. this show and its cast really belong. JMD

Questions
