Of all the "stars" of so-called reality TV, I think Hulk may very well have the lowest douchebag score. Sure, he's a drama-llama, but that's the nature of TV. I think he comes across, though, as a genuinely decent guy who wishes he would have been more involved in his kids' lives when they were younger so that he didn't have the headaches with them that he does now. The one episode where he took drifting lessons so that he could fit in more with Nick really, really got to me at the very end. Those kids love their father so much, but they don't always realize it. I would hope that as they watch the episodes themselves, they will see what he's trying to do for them.
I think that the daughter is a genuine natural beauty, but her image of beauty has been so skewed by Linda (bleach-blond hair, clown make-up) that she's locked in to a look that, in the long term, is not going to work out. She's 18-19 in most of the episodes, but all that spackle and greasepaint make her look much, much older. She could benefit from a visit to whomever advised Christina Aguilera on her recent makeover. Brooke could be a much classier-looking young lady if she'd just tone it down.
Following the accident in which Nick nearly killed a Marine OIF veteran, I don't see how they can, in good taste, continue with new episodes of the show. Of course, since it's MTV (empty-V), the constraint of good taste does not apply.
