Reality Roundup

[Prudence]

Survivor has it's own thread -- but what about all those other reality shows that refined citizens don't admit to watching? Surely I am not alone in my teevee sins. (Maybe I should head to the LoT Confessional!) I love to people watch. Remnants of my youth when participation wasn't so much of an option. But people watching can be SO educational!

So far this week I have watched two: America's Next Top Model and portions of the American Idol results show.

I love ANTM. As a smart/not-pretty girl, I *LOVE* watching pretty girls be stupid. And for that, this week's episode was terrific! For those who didn't watch, the aspiring models had to read from a teleprompter as if they were commentating from fashion week in Paris. I'll admit, I would have struggled over some of the designers and models names. But watching girl after girl totally flustered by "magenta" was just hysterical. My size 18 butt might have been jiggling on the treadmill at the time, but at least I can pronounce Crayola crayon colors correctly.

I used to watch AI more often, when I was home in the evenings, but lately I'm really only interested in the results show. I'm just not a fan of most of the songs they sing. (Although now I'm kicking myself that I missed showtunes night.) So last night I flipped between AI results and Revalations (as neither deserved my full attention.) I have a minor teevee crush on Bo. Ahh.... Memories of youth.

Missed The Amazing Race this week. Usually I like this show, but the remaining contestants all annoy me, and not in the way where I want to watch and see if they get hurt.

VCR is all set up to record The Apprentice tonight. The only thing better than watching pretty people act stupid is watching smart pretty people act stupid. Will Chris finally be fired? I predict that Tana and Kendra will end up in the final, thus ensuring a female apprentice. (And if that's the case, Tana takes it.) Possible replacement for Kendra would be Bren, as Kendra flys under the radar so much -- when she's not whining.) Chris is gone soone. Craig had one good idea, but no other discernable skills. And Alex, even though he did just graduate from Seattle U, is a pain in the patootie. I didn't want to root for one of the high school graduates, but the "mom from Iowa" has a healthy dose of common sense and deserves to go far.

So, anyone else willing to admit their addiction?
