The new Rock Rivals show starts this Wednesday, with Michelle Collins playing a starring role as judge Karina Faith. Based loosely on the premise of X Factor and other reality talent shows, Rock Rivals shows what goes on behind the scenes and not just the part the public usually sees.

Joining Karina on the judging panel is her philandering husband, Mal, which leads to a fair amount of tension!

Of course, in all of these reality shows, it is the contestants who make the show, and the contestants lined up are going to make you laugh and cry.  But you can read all about them on the official Rock Rivals site, along with an interview with Michelle and a gallery of Michelle through the years.

Remember and come back and post in our Michelle Collins forum with your opinion on this show after it airs.
