Chk-chk-FUCK OFF!

So the chk-chk-boom girl lies on camera about a shooting and gets a TV show deal. Meanwhile, Robin Brown spends time, money and passion working on skills pertaining to the craft of acting and presenting, going to a Uni and a private school of performance and he gets...overlooked. Robin Brown and a dizzying number of other hopefuls will come home from a job outside of their chosen profession in 2010 to watch Clare Werbeloff co-present her very own series set, appropriately enough, around scams. Network 9 announced The Real Hustle along with a handful of other half-baked or tired notion for its home-grown 2010 line-up. Included in the list are Hey, Hey It's Saturday on a Wednesday, season three of Underbelly (The Golden Mile) and AFP, a behind the scenes style show that seems to be in the vein of Border Patrol, but focuses on the activities of the Australian Federal Police.

While Underbelly is catering for those with acting chops, Werbeloff must be a slap in the face for those who get another casting rejection after a night in a crummy late night waiting job. Coming home to flick on the telly and seeing someone who scammed her way on air to a show I predict will tank fairly quickly must sting. There's just so many Robin Browns, people with talent, skills and training who can bring appeal and a higher chance of longevity that get over looked for flash in the pan flukes and fads.
