(Bad)Reality Television

I don't know if it's because of law school, or if it's because I have an occasional superiority complex, but I have developed the world's worst taste in television. I adore reality shows. Now, to try to give myself a little credit, there are a few I don't (read - not won't) watch:

Big Brother
Flavor of Love
Fear Factor
The Bachelor

Those are, unfortunately, just a few. What's even more unfortunate is the staggering number of those I do watch:

Rock of Love w/ Bret Michaels
Hogan Knows Best
Scott Baio is 45...and Single (and, btw, a horse's ass)
Fat March
Survivor
The Biggest Loser
and then, the one I wish hadn't been cancelled the most...

Starting Over.

I doubt if many people watched Starting Over. I had to explain my addiction to lots of folks, with minimal success. Still, I did learn a lot from that show, and I really miss my hero, Iyanla. I'm still upset that there aren't even reruns of the show anymore.

And to think, I used to judge those who watched these shows. I sure didn't mean to develop an addiction. Yet, here I am, waiting with bated breath for Sunday morning when I can fulfill my bad TV addiction.

I found it. Hooray. I have even linked you to mine.

Mine is "Top Chef" and "Big Love." Sad.

Big Love as a Reality Show? Interesting. We need to talk.

Hmm, realizing I was commenting on reality shows and included Big Love as a favorite. It is a favorite show but not reality. At least I hope not.

Now the Sopranos....

Thanks for watching Fat March.

I'll say though, a show that helps people change their lives can't be all that bad.

William, did you just give me the biggest spoiler? Did you make it all the way through? Amazing! I wish I knew when the show was taped, because I live in DC and would have loved to come see the arrival.

Best wishes!

PS - I *heart* your MySpace page.

lol, It wasn't meant to be a spoiler, lol. I'm just saying, everyone, who made it and did not make it, changed their lives.
Shane, who left in episode 1 was on The Insider and has lost 80 lbs on his own.
Everyone made a life change with this show.
I def. worked for all of us.

And thanks for liking my page.
Maybe you'll like my website ChampWear.net too!! lmao
