Will This Be On The Test?

This week, after watching way too much reality TV, Austin decided to look at the unethical psychology experiments we learned about and rate them on how well they could be adapted into a reality TV show. Because let's face it, if they filmed the Stanford Prison experiment and put it on prime time tv they would've won an Emmy. and on a related note Mattie watched Riverdale and blew Austin's mind by telling about how Ross's kid from friends is now Archie.
