Bromance was a reality TV show that aired on MTV from 2008 to 2009, starring Brody Jenner, Ashley Danielle Fareas, and Frankie Delgado. The show was centered around Jenner and his search for a new best friend, or bromance, as he called it. The show followed Jenner as he put a group of men through various physical and emotional challenges, with the hopes of finding someone who could become his new best friend. Each week, someone would be eliminated, until Jenner was left with his final choice.
The premise of the show was inspired by the popular dating series format, like The Bachelor, but with a twist. Instead of seeking a romantic partner, Jenner was looking for a male friend to join him on the red carpet and in his social life.
The show was successful in its first season and even received an Emmy nomination for Outstanding Reality Series in 2009. Despite positive reviews and a dedicated fan base, the show was canceled after just one season.
One of the reasons for the show's cancellation was the lack of interest from Jenner himself. In interviews, he has expressed regret for participating in the show, stating that he did not have a genuine connection with any of the contestants and that the producers had too much control over the outcome.
Despite its short run, Bromance remains a cultural touchstone for reality TV fans. The show is often cited as one of the earliest examples of the bromance trend in popular culture, which has since become a common trope in movies and television.
The show was also notable for its cast, which included several up-and-coming personalities in the entertainment industry. Ashley Danielle Fareas, who served as Jenner's wingwoman and confidante on the show, went on to host her own online talk show and become a successful entrepreneur.
Frankie Delgado, who was already a close friend of Jenner's before the show, has gone on to become a successful reality TV personality in his own right, appearing on The Hills and other MTV shows.
Overall, Bromance was a unique and entertaining show that pushed the boundaries of reality TV. While it may not have had the lasting impact of some other shows, it remains a beloved cult classic for fans of the genre.
