"A-List" Trailer Has Us Wondering What the "A" Stands For

Yesterday Logo released cast photos and a new "super-teaser" for The A-List: New York:

The show could be a guilty pleasure along the lines of Jersey Shore or Real Housewives. (In fact, the guys producing this show are responsible for Real Housewives of Atlanta.) But I'm not so sure about this trailer.

I know the point is to generate controversy and interest in the project – and so they kind of edited the thing to make the cast seem insufferable. Everybody loves a good reality show villain! But maybe it goes too far and makes you wonder what exactly the "A" in A-List stands for. Arrogant? Arriviste? *sshole? 

Filming guys on inflatable pool swans talking about how they "only date power gays" is funny in an "are you friggin' kidding me?!" sort of way, but here's hoping the entire cast isn't quite so ridiculous.

Anyway, here are the principals..
