Reality TV Overload

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 BROTHER

I 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 WEDDING

I 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 JERSEY

I 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 PARIS

This 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
