He describes the show's product as "the most realistic portrayal of . . . life with eight guys with cameras around." Follow-up The stress of making a reality show can be difficult on a marriage, as evidenced by the breakup of Nick Lachey and Jessica Simpson, but it was apparently not the source of trouble for Electra and Navarro. Electra denied the existence of any "MTV curse" and said that the reality shows she did with Navarro were not responsible for their later divorce.Electra Rubbishes Reality TV Curse World Entertainment News Network Ltd. 2007-03-06 http://www.hollywood.com/news/Electra_Rubbishes_Reality_TV_Curse/3666142 2007-03-12 Cast Carmen Electra Dave Navarro Daisy, their pet Yorkshire Terrier (uncredited) Episodes The series aired on Wednesday evenings from January 21 to March 3, 2004.
