Reality TV is so addicting...

OK, so for those of you who don't know...I watch a little reality TV. I know, I know, WHY? Why are we American's SO in love with other peoples business? Why do we want to watch people be totally humiliated or hurt on national television? I don't think I can answer that, but I will tell you that I secretly enjoy it....but I also HATE it sometimes! It can be SO stressful! From American Idol to Survivor, The Bachelor to Amazing Race to Biggest Loser(which I usually watch while eating a big bowl of Ice Cream)...even Dancing with the Stars for cryin' out loud...they get your hopes up then crush them in an instant...they get you emotionally attached to these people you don't even know, then send 'em packin'...AHHH! What is a girl to do?

I suppose the obvious answer would be to quit watching them...but TV is so boring these days, what would I watch? There aren't any good sitcoms on really, Grey's Anatomy is only on one night a week, and HGTV gets a little dull sometimes. I love the Food Network, but Jeremiah usually loudly protests anything on there in the evening...he would LOVE it if we could spend the evening watching the History channel, but if I wanted to go to sleep at 8 pm, I would just head to bed! Sometimes, there is a good movie on the 50 billion movie channels we get, but that is rare. Outdoor Network always has something he would love to watch, but all of the gunfire usually brings the kids right back into the family room, being boys and all, then we have to put them back to bed...UGH.

I quit watching The Bachelor several years ago, because after the billionth time of it never working out, I got uninterested. Now, I am totally amazed that the show even exists! Why do people keep watching it? In hopes that THIS one might work? Who knows. But, after my hiatus and seeing this season's previews, I thought I might give it a whirl again. This guy seemed to have his head on straight and I thought he might make a good choice....HMMM. My hopes of that have been dashed, once again. He sent my favorite girl home this week. Idiot. Why did he choose to send the mature, level headed, decent girl with some personality home? I don't even know this guy and he makes me want to pound my head against the wall! I totally cried this week! What is the matter with me?!?!?! And right before bed too! It's a good thing my eyes weren't puffy when I got up the next day...then I would feel like the Biggest Loser!!

This is my pick for Biggest Loser...she is hilarious and I hope she is totally successful. American Idol has it's top 12, Survivor is in Week 2 and the contestants for Dancing with the Stars are picked! Yikes! How will I keep up with it all?

How about you all? I know you watch it too...just admit it!
