...felt that her new suite in Kirkland was somewhat lacking.  To make herself feel more at home, Bobbsey broke several windows, started a small electrical fire, tossed used condoms about like rose petals, ripped the bathroom sink off the wall, installed an 11  foot stripper pole in the common room and invited two local homeless men to come and crap in her closet.  “Now the place is really starting to feel and smell like home,” reports Bobbsey...

...course, its creators clearly love their trash TV, even as they skewer it. The opera skillfully parodies the TV show's demented-circus atmosphere, and star Michael Brandon does a bang-on impression of Springer's smarmy solicitousness ("Chuckie, I sense you're not too happy about Shawntelle's pole-dancing dreams").
