Beach House Spectactular: Fire Island Stinks?

Surprise, surprise, Fire Island never cottoned to the whole reality show (One Ocean View) filming in their midst. Just like residents of Denver, where the Real World is currently filming, and Scottsdale, which was the location for an MTV Super Sweet Sixteen episode, Fire Island would rather not have a bunch of drunken, horny egomaniacs careening through their hometown.

According to locals, portraying the area as a super-sexy Hamptons lite, as ABC is aiming to do, is inaccurate:

"From their pictures, the guys on the show are all glamorous," said Maria Rondisi, who works in magazine production and was spending a recent Friday on the beach in front of the shared house where the show was shot in June and early July..."The real guys out here are beer-drinking, shower-once-a-week, down-to-earth fun guys," she said. "It's not the Hamptons."

Remember that folks: Fire Island is stinky, not sexy. And yet, it still sounds a lot more pleasant than the Hamptons.
