What's the Story?
In VH1's "celebreality" series MY FAIR BRADY, viewers go behind the scenes as Adrianne Curry and Christopher Knight continue the romance they began on The Surreal Life. In each episode, Curry (who won the first season of America's Next Top Model) and Knight's (Peter Brady in The Brady Bunch) tempestuous relationship takes center stage. With two failed marriages under his belt, Knight initially needed time before being ready to commit again, but Adrianne has always been more than ready to hustle him to the altar.
Is It Any Good?
The May-December couple, though endearing, at times comes across as offensive and annoying. Knight plays up the fact that Curry is basically forcing him to commit to her, and she often relies on her extensive vocabulary of curses to get her points across. This includes cheekily calling her dad a son of a bitch and using so much foul language that almost every time she's on screen, her sentences include bleeped-out words. Neither of these two is a particularly good role model, but watching their antics can certainly be a guilty pleasure.
