(S27) PT4 - Superstar

[Memento Mori]

Following the hit of the similarly-named reality TV show, lazy and talentless entertainment producers everywhere will be eager to copy someone else's idea and launch "Keeping Up With The Bookers". Apparently people love seeing how famous people live, especially when there's multiple famous people involved. Pro football and pro basketball are both wildly popular, and though there is inevitably some crossover between NBA fans and ISFL fans TV executives were eager to combine the lives of Devin Booker and Brandon Booker in this new series as part of an attempt to draw in both basketball and football fans for huge TV ratings.

There's just one small problem. Devin Booker and Brandon Booker are not related. They are aware of each other's existence due to both being highly successful athletes, but that doesn't quite produce the same drama. Where producers hoped for sibling or cousin rivalry, they will find neither. There's not much to display in terms of strained family relationships or tense dynamics at family gatherings, as Devin and Brandon's respective families have never met. Brandon's California does border Devin's Arizona, which is something, but the two are very unlikely to run into each other as part of their daily lives. Perhaps some overly eager producer will suggest the two and their families simply pretend to be related, but this would involve faking relationships and the redrawing of the pair's family trees. Perhaps the network would be better off rebranding this mix-up as a mockumentary or a cringe comedy rather than a reality show? (255 words)
