I was a loyal watcher of the early reality show Making the Band, back in 2000. For you youngins, it was like "American Idol" and "Real World" combined into one show.
Here's how it worked: Guys auditioned to be in a band. A bunch made the cut, and lived and sang together. They got voted off by some "music professionals," (thankfully a show where America doesn't choose) and eventually got 5 guys. One guy had a whiny girlfriend (Shelli). Then one guy quit because it was too much pressure (Ikaika), and got replaced by another guy (Dan). They put out a single and an album. Then the reject guys formed their own band (LMNT). Then they faded into onscurity. One became a carpenter (Jakob). One re-launched his singing career and reality start status in 2006 (Ashley). I went to a mall to meet him.
Then in 2011, they decided to have a reunion??? Check out the story from EW.
