In an ever-changing world, it's strangely comforting to know that some things, even if they are trite and stupid and aggressive and needless (all rolled into one!) things, will always stay the same.

I'm talking, as you can tell by the headline (unless you are a reality TV contestant, in which case we can assume you're a little slow), about how, no matter what they're competing for and whom they're competing against, reality TV competition contestants will always say "I'm not here to make friends." It's a rule.

Last year, blogger Rich FourFour noticed this rule and compiled the supercut to top all supercuts: an "I'm Not Here to Make Friends" montage for the 2008 TV season. For reality TV fanatics (that's me) and general fans of awesomeness alike, it was a game-changer. They even did a little segment about it on This American Life. (That's legit!) And then he made another one for the 2009 season. These reality stars just cannot keep from saying how not there to make friends they are, and, in turn, these videos just cannot keep from being hilarious.

Well, the day you didn't know you were waiting for but subconsciously you were definitely waiting for has arrived. It's time to watch FourFour's 2010 TV season "I'm not here to make friends" montage, now with even MORE non-friendships from even MORE reality shows, some of which aren't even about competing for things! The disease is spreading. If Ice Road Truckers can succumb, no one is safe.

Personally, I think my favorite is the one from Paris Hilton's My New BFF, because the stated point of the show is to BECOME SOMEONE'S FRIEND. But not the other aspiring friends' friend, obviously.

Leave a comment with your favorite reality TV rule (What about how dating show stars are always saying "here for the right reasons"?) or your thoughts on the whole "I'm not here to make friends" phenomenon. If you don't, I will be forced to assume that you're not on this blog to make friends.
