A year ago today, I posted my supercut of people saying various iterations of "I'm not here to make friends" over and over and over again on reality TV. So much has changed since then -- Obama became president, the sinking economy went belly up, Sarah Palin became queen of her own ass, then sank, then went belly up, etc. And yet, as the video above (containing examples of my most favorite of televised cliches that have been uttered in the time since the first video) proves, they've also stayed much the same.
Original video is below, in case you don't know what I'm talking about.
There needs to be a reality show about who can make the most friends.

First of all, brilliant as usual! And I REALLY love enteka's idea about a throwing under the bus montage. Come on Rich do it, be a friend :)

Another phrase I heard a lot (but mostly on Flavor of Love) was "She needs to be exposed!"

(alternative idea: the "this is not the last you will see of me" bit, in the end when someone leaves. 99% of the time it IS the last time we see them - unless there is a reunion episode in the end, in which case THAT is the actual last time)

Too funny. Do you watch Hell's Kitchen regularly? I don't know why I get a sick fascination out of Chef Ramsey yelling at people and belittling them until they cry.

If you lose you way, Your forever friend guides you and cheers you on. Your forever friend holds your hand and tells you that everything is going to be okay.

Dude, this post is the best. I had notices the same thing months before. All this people always say the same damn words! Do they actually use a telepronter or something?
