Ryan Jenkins Finds Another Way To Get On Television; Kills Wife

Everyone, most especially the studios who create the shows, know that reality TV show contestants are douchebags, going back to The Real World’s Puck and Survivor’s tax-evading Richard Hatch. Given this, it was only a matter of time before a reality TV show (or two) would attract a douchebag among douchebags.

Meet Ryan Jenkins, 32, a Canadian real estate developer who was a contestant in not one, but two VH1 reality shows, Megan Wants a Millionaire and I Love Money 3. After apparently winning Megan Wants a Millionaire, Jenkins went to Las Vegas, where he met Playboy model Jasmine Fiore and married her two days later.

Now she’s dead, with her body found stuffed inside a suitcase found in Buena Park, California dumpster and and he’s on the lam, somewhere in Canada.

Jenkins was suspected of having headed to Point Roberts, Wash., a small community located at the southern end of a peninsula that is accessible by land only through Canada.
“Deputies received a report from a citizen that she had observed a boat being driven into the marina by a male matching Mr. Jenkins’s description, and the male was acting suspiciously,” says Sergeant Mead. “A short time later, deputies located that boat abandoned in the marina, and an intense manhunt ensued utilizing customs and a border protection helicopter … and assistance from the U.S. Marshal.
“The search failed to locate Mr. Jenkins, and it is believed that he was able to successfully cross the border into Canada on-foot. Canadian authorities were advised and they assisted us from their side, but were also unsuccessful in locating him.”

Anyway, the real suckers in this deal are VH1, who’ve announced that they’re postponing the airing of both shows indefinitely.  Not that they don’t deserve it.  A network that lives by douchebags dies by douchebags.
