What in the world has happened to television these days??!!
My little reality Remix rant here stems from a continued disappointment and an increased frustration with what's coming on our t.v.'s lately! I feel like the whole "Reality Television" thing got waaaay blown out of proportion and has completely gone from bad to worse to ohmigod I want to shoot myself in the foot if I have to keep watching this stuff! What's the deal? I don't know what's worse, the people coming up with the show ideas, writing and casting them OR the people that keep watching them week after ridiculous week, season after horrible season???!!! Now don't get me wrong, this is an overall opinion I have on the whole world of "reality", but in keeping with my mixed yin-yang type of feelings on most stuff, I also do have to admit to liking and watching a few of the so-called reality shows and I am not about to point the finger unless I am willing to get it pointed right back at me! I am guilty of a little reality t.v. coming across my big ol' flat screen from time to time, but I make wise choices as to what programs I fill my precious time with. And, for the icing on the cake, I can guarantee you that none of the reality shows I watch have the word love in the title! ; )
Just to be fair, I will give credit where I see that credit is due and will start with a rundown of the shows I am liking at the moment. However, my list of dislikes is far greater than my list of likes, but there is some stuff on here that isn't a complete and total waste of my time!
LIKES:
Rob & Big- How can you not like theose guys?! They're GREAT! I totally want to hang out with them and kick it! They seem super cool and are pretty much the most hilarious duo on t.v. right now!
Project Runway- This makes my cut due to my love of fashion design and as much as I do enjoy seeing the creativity and designs that come from these young, fresh designers (well, for the mostpart!) I have trouble keeping my hands off the remote when the drama starts flowing! I mean, hello, can we just see your designs and not hear about your pathetic little dramatic lives?! Geez! I still love it though, can't help it!
Top Chef- Again, without the drama this is quite a good show. I love seeing the creativity these chefs have and the unique dishes they come up with week after week. I think the challenges seem pretty difficult and I enjoy watching them scramble to prepare their food under the pressure of the time clock. I find the guest judges very fascinating and just love their raw food comments! My fave is when Anthony Bourdain stops by for a little dose of brutal honesty!
Dance Crew- Okay, as much as I CANNOT STAND any of the dance shows on right now, this happens to be the exception and make my cut because I think the dance crews are very entertaining and I love the overall hip-hop vibe of the entire show. They have styled the crews a little bit too much for my taste
And now for the lovely list of
DISLIKES: (which is a HUGE understatement)
The "LOVE" shows-
Rock of Love
Flavor of Love
I love NY
Bachelor

These all KILL me!!! STOP THE MADNESS!! I mean, who seriously thinks they can have a show full of sluts to sift through to find their real, true love??!! Do they really think they are going to find "the one" in amongst the most nasty and desperate array of contestants? I cannot even watch these shows without feeling sick to my stomach! DO people really watch these? I have only seen snippets from channel surfing, but could never imagine committing myself to a whole episode, let alone a whole entire disgusting season, or worse, more than one season!! YUCK!! Nasty dudes & nasty chicks- you all deserve each other! And the part that gets me the most about these shows is when they have the same main person trying to find love by having a season two or three- like they completely plowed through the first entire season of slutty candidates and wow, they did NOT find their mate, so they go on to do the same exact same thing with a whole new round of STD-clad skanks... Good luck finding true love!
The Moment of Truth- I mean, c'mon, how ridiculous is this concept?! Who in their right mind would even think of going on this show? I only saw part of one episode and that was enough for me- This chick was in the hot seat with her family there, including her husband, and was being asked questions about her ex and then he was there and asked some of the questions and then she failed the test, didn't win any money and probably got divorced after the show! YIKES!!
So you think you can dance- How 'bout, no you can't dance! And for the love of goodness sake, can we please not have any more dance shows on t.v.?! They are all the same, they all have tons of severely overly styled contestants with horribly annoying dance routines that have been choreographed up the butt and then they all have horribly fake smiles plastered on their waaaay too made up faces and it's all a little, okay a LOT, too fake and over the top for me!
Make me a Supermodel- We were just fine with ANTM- why did Nikki Taylor and Tyrese have to go and jump on the model reality show train, too?! Let's leave it to one model show peeps, and that's the O.G.- ANTM!
Housewives- Does anybody really live like these women? I think NOT! And who would really want to, anyway?!
Okay, that's it for now on this topic as I am drained after ranting about all of the utter-whackness that has become our terrible selection of television shows!!
Have a great day! That's all. XOXO
