Did you guys read what he wrote on other forum? He sounds like a cool guy and he had to put up with a lot. MTV is not exactly fun to work with. They set their own rules and you either go along with them or not.
I agree, the show is a POS but the kid enjoyed it and being only one of MANY who applied to get in is great in itself.
I would do it just to be on mtv and maybe meet some people for future movies, promos, etc. I would not do it just to pimp my ride. My 2cents.
