    Jones plays her clichéd role to the hilt, which is clear early on, when she paints her toenails pink while driving her car.

    The result is a "partially scripted reality show" (whatever that means) that edits scenes so as to make people look ridiculous while clashing over artificial constructs.

    Anchorwoman isn’t much of a reality show, because most of the conflict is contrived.
