Facial Hair
Tanner: I love it when guys have huge scruffy beards. Because it makes me look good by comparison. It always looks better when you keep it clean, just like head hair (if you have it).
Danny: On men, cool. I'm especially a big fan of waxed mustaches. On women, not so cool.
Reality Television
Tanner: Any kind of dating or celebrity reality TV sucks. I do like shows on the Discovery or Travel channels though, and even the cooking and fashion reality shows can be cool. Also, I have a soft spot for Survivor. Don't know why, I just like it.
Danny: As a business model, reality television has to be one of the greatest things ever invented. You pay a couple of low cost interns to sit in a room and watch hours upon hours of footage and manipulate it to make certain people fit certain stereotypes and create controversy. If you've got a good casting team (see the last few seasons of The Real World), you can even cast people that already fit into said stereotypes. You don't have to pay actors (maybe a host at most), you have very little overhead, shity production values are expected and people eat the shit up, which makes advertisers happy. Plus, because of the serial nature of the shows, you have an easy draw to attract repeat viewers. Genius!
