When we first heard that a Chinese tycoon had held a mistress contest, we thought, “what could possibly go wrong? One guy, five mistresses and all he has to do is cut it down to one girl to cheat on his wife with. Sounds simple enough, right?” The only possible tragic outcome that sprung to mind was that American reality TV execs wouldn’t be able to film their imitation version in time for sweeps week.
Well, we haven’t seen any promos on FOX yet, but that’s probably with good reason seeing as the girls- on-the-side grudge match took a decidedly more grievous turn than originally expected. In an apparent fit of rage, the original mistress and subsequent sore loser drove her loaded lothario and his four ladyfriends off a mountain road, killing herself and injuring the rest of the passengers. In a note found in the car, 29 year old driver/victim/ex-mistress revealed the details of the covert competition, noting that she had lost out on her chance for the lust of a lifetime when she was eliminated in the first round beauty trial and was out to exact revenge. The eventual winner took home the concubine crown by besting all comers in the drinking round (for real).
After catching wind of the crash and the contest, the wife of this Chinese captain of Industry promptly filed for divorce. The good news is, he can still date the winner.
