I watch a lot of television. In fact, I watch way too much of it. And it’s not that I am addicted, it’s because when I am in my office working, the TV is right there so I can watch it and do the work I need to do. Very convenient.
Anyway, I have been meaning to share some of my TV views on here, but I didn’t know exactly how I wanted to do it. I suffer from serious OCD (I’m not kidding) so things go through my brain 101 times before I am satisfied with it. That’s for a different post.
So, here are a few tidbits of things that have irked or amused me lately about reality TV.
America’s Best Dance Crew has me so pissed off I don’t even know where to start. How is it even possible enough people voted for that sloppy ass Status Quo? They should have been off the show weeks ago, and for some unknown reason the judges saved them. That’s another thing. Why have America vote and then the judges choose from the bottom two? So stupid. If the Jabbawockeez don’t win, I will be furious. I will definitely sending some hate mail over to MTV and Lil Bow Bow Lil Mama for being stupid.
I don’t even know who the dumb women on The Real Housewives of New York City are or why they deserve a TV show. To me, a “real housewife” isn’t some spoiled whench who insists that everyone call her a countess or thinks being snubbed an invite to a party at the house of someone you don’t even like is the end of the world. Maybe it’s just me.
Top Chef Chicago looks like it will be good this year. I love Padma (a lot better than Billy Joel’s wife) and hope they keep her around for a while. I have a slight obsession for strange names. I’ve been accumulating a list of female baby names and Padma is right up there with Juju and Leyque. That’s right, my daughter will have some awful first name, and she will love it! I hope.
I’m so over Tyra Banks this year on America’s Next Top Model. Most of those girls look like they need to come to my mommas house for a good home cooked meal. And Dominique, I swear she used to be a man. And why does she insists on talking about herself in the third person? I would have been kicked out of the house 2 minutes after we met because I would have punched her in the face. They also peeved me off with the whole Fatima not taking care of herself, not being clean commentary. The girl said she didn’t shave her armpits, not that she didn’t wash them. I had to pause my DVR to see exactly what they were talking about, and it wasn’t even that serious. I hate to admit it but on a serious lazy streak, I have had a lot more hair in my pits than she had for her lifetimes worth.
Big Brother 9 has me needing a vomit bucket at my side just so I can watch it. Those people are outrageous. Where did they do their casting? At a porn convention for the mentally ill? And oh how I would love to be a fly on the wall when Chelsia finds out the “man” she’s been banging does Gay for Pay porn. That moment will be priceless.
Watching Survivor is pointless these days because it seems people are still stupid and absolutely clueless about how to play this game. You don’t vote off your strongest early on. You don’t trust strangers 2 seconds after you meet them. You don’t talk crap about people and think it won’t get back to them. It’s all common sense. Plus, now that Yau-Man is voted out I don’t care who wins.
Rock of Love and Flavor of Love are the stupidest shows on TV. Brett Michael’s bandanna wigs are so old and played out. His taste in women is mind blowing. That Daisy creature looks like… like… I don’t know. An alien or something. And the other women are just whores. And Flavor Flavvvvvvvvvvvv is so damn ugly. I wouldn’t kiss him with someone else’s mouth. Disgusting. What boggles my mind though is how these women cry and get emotional about some man they don’t even know. How does a stranger not wanting you equate to you never again trusting a man with your heart or finding love. If only they knew how damn stupid they sounded.
Ok, that’s enough for now.
PS - After seeing Priscilla Presley on Dancing With The Stars, I think I will keep my frown lines and pass on the botox treatments.
Upcoming Ramble: After This, We Just Might Not Be Friends
I am a big TV watcher. In fact, I think I watch way too much TV… or at least I think I do. But just the other day as I was preparing to record something on my DVR, I noticed I was down to 6% space. I quickly began scrolling through the programs on the DVR and realized I had full seasons of shows that I loved, and had yet to see. There was stuff on it from October of 2007, including the complete season of Lost, Brothers & Sisters, Grey’s Anatomy, and so much more. So much of it is ABC programming… I wonder if I secretly dislike watching their network live.
