Janet may be impossible to read, but I know I would’ve walked the mile with her in middle school gym class, and casting an everywoman like her is the foundational key to success for any reality television show.

She’s the everywoman, a picture of klutzy mishaps of the heart that looks more like a mirror than a photograph.
