Guilty pleasures...

WARNING...this is not going to be about anything naughty.

Just so we're clear.

I don't really watch reality shows. Really. I don't. I only watched Survivor when someone I knew was on, and he got kicked off in the 3rd ep or something, so I stopped watching. I've never seen Big Brother, only bits and pieces of the Amazing Race.

What I am addicted to is American Idol, and I don't even try to hide it.

What you may not know is that my true guilty pleasure is Project Runway. OH MY GOD. This season was absolutely fab. But it's over, and I thought I was back down to my one, safe reality show addiction. But now? Now that Fashion Week is over? It's proverbial head has been cut off and in it's place has grown...Top Chef! YEAH baby! You thought the fashion industry had divas? These people have more ego than surgeons. (No offense to my surgeon friend, you know I love you, it's just a comparison to, you know, those other guys) And it's a show about FOOD, which we all know is enough to suck me in right there. Bravo got it right with this one, and if you're not watching, you should be.

Which then begs the question, is Iron Chef America considered a 'reality show' - because then I guess that's another guilty pleasure for me.

24 is finally having a good season, the last two sucked ass. Audrey Raines as the mole? Seriously??? Can't wait to see Jack kick her ass. Bring in Agent Johnson baby! And what's with them trying to take out former POTUS's brother?

Grey's Anatomy anyone? I'm all about the Mer & McDreamy love train. And I LOVE Bailey. The writers for the show have a blog, it gives some great inside about the eps and you can find it here. That's how you know you're a truly pathetic washed up life-needing comfort food craving lunatic...when you're not only addicted to the SHOW, but addicted to the blog ABOUT the show. There should be 12 step programs for people like me.

New episode of House next week, finally. Fucking American Idol with it's 2 hours of wasted air. 2 hours for 11 people to sing? It's ridiculous and I like the damn show.

Thanks a lot. Thank you very much. I haven't watched last weeks 24 yet. But, I guess there's no reason to now. Since I started talking about the Blog, Heather, my teammate that I share an office with, is now explaining the entire episode.

You didn't even mention Marshal Law....

Finally, reality shows are not realistic at all. Do you ever see a 30 year old bald and fat guy on these shows? (For the record I will be 30, I am a little chubby, but I am not bald.) No, you don't. When was the last time there was a chick on Fear Factor that didn't have fake boobs? Actually the last one I saw, one chic's breastsssss were taller than Joe Rogan. (He's a small man)

I've said it before, and I'll say it again. You want reality, just strap a camera to my head and hold on for the ride of your life. Do we have any investors in the crowd?

Alright, I'm done. I keep forgetting this isn't my blog.

HA! Sorry Jimmer. I should have put spoiler tags in. First her brother, now her? What is going on in Fox's DOD for crap's sake?

Rant all you want, that's what it's here for.

As for the cameras? Kathy is convinced that cameras should be following me 24/7. Of course, not this week, with all the phlegm and sleeping and all.

so this statement "I don't really watch reality shows. Really. I don't" should be omitted or re-wrote to read: I am a complete tv junkie.

Love you even though you have snot on you (wish you would put some on me). XXOO
