My DVR is overwhelmed, folks.And you can find out why, by reading on...
Summer programming has never been so alluring. I am rocking my first summer of having cable TV in quite some time! In college, we never wanted to pay for it because affording food and booze was more important. I have now become an expert on surfing those very important channels to satisfy my cravings for reality and not-so-real reality shows. Here is my summer programming breakdown:
First and foremost, my summer OBSESSION:BIG BROTHERI have loved the show for the past four summers, even breaking down and buying the live feeds last summer. (BB talk: the feeds are a way to see inside the BB house 24/7, creepy yet entertaining... just how I like my TV shows) It's basically like Survivor in a house they can never leave, with comps for food and luxuries. And you're voted out. Glorious!Anyway, this is the 13th season and I am OBSESSED! Can't wait. IF you've never seen the show, I suggest you check it out on CBS in July.
Newest addition:MY BIG FAT GYPSY WEDDINGI just recently came across this show and at first I didn't believe it... but it's true. This is real life. For some people. THE DRESSES! They say some of them can weigh up to 270 lbs! WHAAAAAT?I love it. I am intrigued by this eccentric lifestyle, but slightly disturbed that some of these girls are 16 years old. Tune in if you want to take a break from normalcy.
The one with the gangsta:ICE LOVES COCO
I've been a longstanding ICE T fan... no really, I have been. He makes Law and Order SVU even better. And getting a glimpse in to his marriage to this woman who defies nature with her measurements reminds me that one day I will find MY perfect match, too. (cue the peanut gallery)
The one I can't explain:THE REAL HOUSEWIVES of NEW JERSEYI tried to explain to someone why I like this show, and I came up empty. I don't really like any of them or attribute them with redeemable qualities, but I can't turn away. It's like a sparkly, heavily-accented train wreck that keeps me tuning in week after week.
The show I haven't seen yet, but I know I will love.THE WORLD ACCORDING TO PARISThis show comes highly recommended by my BFF, so I know I will love it once I have a chance to play catch up this week! She's famous for being famous, but I truly can't wait to see Brooke Mueller's (Charlie Sheen's ex) part in the show. I'll enjoy this show with a cocktail in hand.
So spill it, little chickens, what are your reality show guilty pleasures?Any ones I am missing?XOXO
Oh.My.Word!! Those dresses!!! Hahaha, can't say that I watch any of these shows but I would be lying if I said those dang Kardashian marathons don't get me every.single.time!

ReplyDeleteI am a total TV whore - even in the summer. Besides rewatching Freaks and Geeks with friends, a bunch of USA and TNT shows and SYTYCD, I am ADDICTED to 1 Girl 5 Gays on LOGO.
Guh, I secretly really want to watch The World According to Paris, and I'm so ashamed to admit it!!! Sigh!
