reality television
as a general rule, i loathe reality tv. loathe. but i’ve found myself watching more and more of it lately.
halfway through last season, i discovered america’s best dance crew. i know, right? but it is AWESOME. i’m sad that phresh select went home last week (philly what what!), but i’m really rooting for super cr3w because they are fucking amazing.
i also really enjoy project runway. it started last night and we watched it almost-live. i am SO glad that asian dude got voted off first; he was way too arrogant. i am already annoyed by the tanning dude, but i love the guy with the blue faux-hawk, the dude from SLC, and the biker chick (even though she was super whiney last night). and i was SO thrilled that christian won last season!
how clean is your house on bbca is super fun, yet gross. we discovered this about a year ago, and i think we’ve watched all the episodes that have ever aired. kim and aggie are hilarious and the show has lots of tips about “cheap and cheerful” ways to keep your house clean and uncluttered.
we also really like true life. some of the episodes are annoying, but many of them are really good. over the fourth, they ran episodes about soldiers just being deployed, soldiers coming home, and soldiers in iraq. they were really good and kind of eye opening. and i of course love the train wreck episodes about people addicted to whatever or who have binge drinking problems.
so, what’s your favorite reality tv show?

Runway was fun last night. So sad it’s moving to Lifetime and LA next season. Yuck.
Not sure if it’s reality TV and more gameshow, but I love Wipepout. My new all-around fav show.
I, too, am a fan of Project Runway. Also of America’s Next Top Model, which I always want to think is stupid, but always turns out to be addictive.
But I’m usually a) unwilling to admit to my husband that yes, I really do want to watch that and b) busy with other random crap and forget to watch anyhow. So I love the next-day-replays for when it’s mid-morning and I suddenly realize I missed it.

Dude. Is it just me, or was that guy that got voted off of Project Runway totally the “This is a two part question” guy from Harold & Kumar?

Unforch, I’m totally addicted to America’s Next Top Model. Which is so amazingly banal and sophomoric, yet I get sucked in every single time.
I also get sucked into occasional episodes of Wife Swap and The Nanny when I can listen to screaming bad azz kids without turning the channel.
Sad, so sad.
