In the latest installment of Massachusetts Reality-TV men, Mr. Boston of I Love New York leapfrogs past Tim Urban of The Apprentice when it comes to shocking moments.

In the interest of keeping up with how our local boys are doing in Hollywood, Bostonist is going to check in with Tim Urban of The Apprentice: Los Angeles and "Mr. Boston" from I Love New York.

We all know about Donald Trump's taste in women. His wives get younger and younger. The same might go for Trump's chosen contestants on The Apprentice, according to a lawsuit filed in Boston by a man who is accusing the toupeed mogul of age discrimination. When Richard J. Hewett tried out for the show in 2005, he was 49. He didn't make it past the first tryout. There's any number of reasons he didn't make...

Perhaps it's because people from Massachusetts are larger-than-life. This television season has more than a few ties to the upcoming crop of reality-show debuts. Here a few notables from the upcoming schedule: Tim Urban, from Newton, will be on The Apprentice and runs the risk of sleeping in a tent outdoors if he doesn't impress The Donald. He's a pianist, he runs a tutoring company, and he is a Harvard grad. The Globe profiled Urban...

Ding dong the wicked Dawn is gone on The Apprentice: Martha Stewart this past week. After dodging a firing each week in the Conference Room with Martha, Dawn was given the boot after her team lost yet another challenge. This week, the kids had to create a "lifestyle suite" at the Westin Hotel in Times Square. Dawn chose not to join her Matchstick teammates with painting the suite through the night and to top things off, she overslept the next morning. Martha did not think Dawn was "a good thing" and she wrote her this ever touching goodbye letter.

After getting knocked around last week and twisting her ankle, Amy of Survivor:Guatemala was ready for some fun. Winning a chance to have a picnic lunch atop a Mayan Temple, Amy got her first taste of booze while reminiscing about Boston. The booze must have been good since after getting liquored up, she confessed that she'd kill Gary if she found out he was an ex-NFL quarterback. If that wasn't enough she let the F-bombs fly when she returned from her picnic to find several people in her tribe, Yaxha, had been swapped with Nakum. Amy seems like she would be a fun girl to go out to a bar with and Bostonist can't wait for her to come back.

Now that the new fall season of reality TV shows has started up, Bostonist feels at home again. After a summer of Rescue Me and Laguna Beach, we are ready to go back to the network stations and their new round of awful (yet enjoyable) reality TV shows. As usual, the city of Boston has spread their seed into the homes of America with a new cast of reality characters. On Wednesday night, Martha Stewart's...

Well, it's official. "Boston Rob," as CBS execs like to call him, got hitched to fellow Survivor castaway, Amber, in a two-hour mind-numbing adventure cleverly titled, "Rob and Amber Get Married." Bostonist was not planning its night to include this wedding show fiasco, but perhaps it was the Nor'easter or the high one gets off watching American Idol (with only two contestants left! Can you stand it?!), which caused a temporary lapse in judgement. Not much good can be said about the Canton-bred boy, Rob, and his wedding planning with Amber. His focus was on two things: the wedding food, which he demanded surf and turf (much to the horror of the wedding planner), and getting their Florida home furnished and decorated a la Rob-style with the help of his construction buddies (obviously the house was a surprise for Amber! Duh!) Bostonist did find delight in a few things in the special. After purchasing a huge Red Sox painting (also a surprise of course) for Rob, she heads to a store on Salem Street, telling the man behind the counter that she'd like the painting shipped down to Sox Spring Training by tomorrow. The North End resident's look of "are you kidding me, lady?" was classic. It was also amusing to see Sox players pass her by as she pleaded for them to sign the painting. Big Papi was having none of that.

It seems like only yesterday that The Apprentice popped up in the TV lineup. It was actually only a year ago and now we are headed into season 3 of the Donald, the boardroom, and lots of inappropriately-short skirts for the office. Why should Bostonist care at all? Besides the fact that Thursday are void with the loss of Friends, two of Boston's finest are contestants this season.
