The newest celebrity reality show this season, "House of Carters," follows Backstreet Boy Nick Carter and his four siblings as they move into a Los Angeles home and cameras record the chaos that takes place.
The E! channel follows the lives of Nick, Bobbie Jean, Leslie, Angel and Aaron as they move into a house to reconnect as siblings, living under one roof for the first time in 10 years. The Carter family has been in the tabloids over the years; their parents' rocky divorce in 2003, accusations of stealing money, Nick's relationship with Paris Hilton and Aaron's recent proposal to a Playboy Playmate, an ex of Nick, and then the end of the engagement six days later.
Nick, 26, earned his claim-to-fame as a member of the popular boy band, the Backstreet Boys. He was voted one of People Magazine's "50 Most Beautiful People" in 2000 and Cosmo Girl's "Sexiest Man in the World" by online voters in 2002. He released a solo album in 2002 and then returned to BSB to record more albums with the group. He dated socialite Paris Hilton in late 2003 and a heavily publicized break-up early in 2004 followed when Hilton was photographed with bruises all over her face and arms.
Aaron, 18, has had a solo music career since the age of seven. He entered the tabloid world when dating Lindsay Lohan and Hillary Duff simultaneously, causing a cat-fight between the pop stars. Most recently he has been in the news after proposing to his Playmate girlfriend of five days, Kari Ann Peniche, and then breaking off the engagement and calling it a "mistake."
The female siblings of the Carter clan have lived in the shadow of their brothers' fame over the years. Bobbie Jean (B.J.), 24, has been known for her drunken outbreaks and fights with females, for which she has been arrested twice and her mug shot appears on thesmokinggun.com. Leslie, 20, tried her luck at singing and recorded a debut album in 2000 with DreamWorks Records; however the CD was never released. Angel, 18, is Aaron's twin, born one minute before him. An aspiring model, Angel is currently in a female music group and hoping to have the same success in the music industry as her brothers have had.

Pretty good synopsis of the show. I wasn't quite prepared for the level of emotional pain the viewer sees in this show. It may be acting out, but it isn't "acting" on the level of most staged reality shows. (Continued…)
