It's deja vu for at least two of the "cast members" of Bravo's upcoming "reality" show, Miami Social--after all, realtor Katrina Campins was a contestant on Donald Trump's inaugural season of The Apprentice, and Opium Group's Hardy Hill was on the second season of Big Brother, proving you can take some folks off a reality show, but you can't take the reality show off of them. That said, those were game shows, and as far as we know, the only competition in Miami Social is the race to be anointed 'the big break out star'. Apparently there's huge advanced buzz for one of them--socialite Ariel Stein, whose Bravo bio calls him "one of the key players in the Miami nightlife scene." Others on the show, which Bravo hilariously describes as an expansion of its arts and culture slate, are new to the genre, and it will be fascinating to see who fares well and who doesn't. According to the official website, Miami Social "explores the lives of a group of hot, young professionals--corporate types by day and party animals by night . . . who are some of the most connected and interesting young professionals in South Beach, as they go from the city's night life, to the board room, to magazine offices where they lead their intertwined lives." How's that for Keeping Up With the Kardashians?
Michael and Ariel look like they're gonna be the bitchier version of Alexis and Krystle.
With the edge going to the non-blond, of course.
Love it already!

Ha! And we can only hope that they film the two of them scuffling in the pool at the Delano or something trying to pull each other's hair (plugs) out!

This is going to be the biggest trainwreck since 8th & Ocean and I'm gonna LOVE watching these people disgrace themselves on national TV. This is the stuff bloggers' dreams are made of.

No matter what we think of the personalities, its still gonna market Miami to a VERY large National audience..

So much for diversity. I'm more Latin than the person they pass off as Latin and my Spanish couldn't fool a drunk.

Could they have not gotten together a bigger group of self absorbed imperious pricks? Ariel & Michael are both the biggest liars. Katrina is a such scum it is unbelievable. She is not ethical in business & that is why her business is struggling so badly. Hardy Hill- Gross! Sorah is A-Moral. Also rumor has it that George has a standing appointment at the Free Clinic, according to Michael.
