I have a confession to make.......

I love reality TV.

There I said it.

My favorites are Super Nanny, Meet Your New Mommy (both of these make me appreciate Makily EVEN MORE since she is such a good girl), The Real World, Road Rules...all their challenges (although sometimes I watch them and think WHAT A BUNCH OF WEINEES, have any of them EVER had a REAL job?). I like Makeover shows....all of them. I know, it's terrible.

I was watching The Bachelor special edition last week and it was about all the awkward moments on the shows. This one girl wrote THE DORKIEST poem FOR EVERY single situation she was in. She was attractive but as soon as she began reciting her horrible poems I found myself covering my face in embarrasement for her. Why oh why didnt anyone ever kindly take her to the side and say "i know you love your poems and all but keep them to yourself....at least while on National TV".

Which leads me to my guiltiest pleasure....America Idol. Oh that is my favorite and God forgive me I don't even like the competing episodes that much......I LIVE FOR THE AUDITIONS! While I also find myself covering my face in embarrasment for many of the people on the show....it's like a car wreck you can't help but watch in amazement as these people make TOTAL fools of themselves for their 15-30 secs of "fame". I often wonder do these people not have a friend, a momma, a daddy SOMEBODY that loves them enough to say "YOU CAN'T SING PLEASE DON'T GO ON THAT SHOW AND MAKE A FOOL OF YOURSELF!" The ones that dress up really crack me up. The most memorable one so far this year was the guy dressed up in a short dress with braided piggy tails singing "Moulan Rouge" and dancing....BADLY. Allen was like "what the heck is that thing?!?!"

Today Allen and I watched a few episodes of Flavor of Love. If you havent seen it, it's on VH1 and stars Flavor Flav.....I know this is mean but just looking at him on TV makes me feel like I should go shower....he's just a grungy little man ya know? And the clock he wears around his neck confuses me. Can he not see well? Will a regular watch on the wrist not work for him? Anyway the show is alot like the bachelor....yes Flavor Flav is the bachelor and there are honestly women competing for the grubby little man. It gives me the creeps....the women are also attractive so I have to guess they are in it for the money and exposure. He had a challenge of which girl could make the best fried chicken. Well one of the gals was such a bing bong she took a whole chicken.....stuffed it with raw vegetables and put it in the microwave. Can you say Salmonilla......E-Coli? He didnt pick her. LOLOL

Another one that I am getting ready to go watch that I wait every week for is "Intervention". It highlights the ins and outs of life with an addiction and at the end of the show the whole family does an intervention on the person with the addiction. I really like the ones where the people get their lives together. There have been several that went to rehab and then slid backwards after a while......also many have succeeded. I am off to watch my show!!
