So last night during some quality snuggle time,
I finally decided I owe Jesse (fiancee) a night of television of his choice.
(mostly because of the night before in which involved me, too much booze, and a policeman talking to him on the phone... but that's a story for another day!)
So I hand the ultimate power known as the remote over to him
and he's flipping through the channels
and finally lands on none other than my
{cough} least {hack}
FAVORITE genre but what?!?!?
{...suspense builds...}
REALITY T.V.!!!!
{GASP}
We all know how I appreciate it so...
(sarcasm is a lovely tool isn't it?)
Anyhow...
the show is called MAN Vs WILD...
and shocker I actually enjoyed the gosh darn thing.
It wasn't saturated with cheeky little blond girls, or angry
Puerto Ricans, or mobbed-up Italians (horrible stereo types I know).
It was a rugged dude, his trusty back-pack and the wide open spaces.
He was informative and told me how, if by possibility
I was to be dropped by some villainous fellow on a
mountain peak in Alaska and have to find
my way down before dark I must do
this that and the other thing.
I also now know how to Glace' or slide belly down a Glacier {said in thick English accent} with a broken-in-half ski pole to slow me down. Picture a penguin slidding butt first down a mountain side holding onto a pole trying to dig it in, and holding on by his his dear lil' flippers for life!!!
THE DUDE CLIMBED THROUGH A GLAZIER FOR G-DARN SAKES!!!
He's a dude, in fact he's the man...
well almost; cause we all know Bobby Bob Barker takes the cake.
But yeah so I ACTUALLY liked it, I give, this is my white flag waving...
{insert pathedic white flag with bad trumpet playing into scene...}
I've come to the dark side Luke!
We'll I guess there is hope then right?
If we can actually watch reality T.V.
and learn something besides
how big Shanaynay's mamma's butt is,
the world may actually make it through this
awkward like pre-pubescent T.V. genre phase.
SO... Jesse just informed me there's an episode on
involving the guy being dropped at the
mouth of a volcano!!!
I may need to know this for my future aspirations
of being the first REAL LIFE female 'Bond-like-super-agent!!!
Hope everyone is having a great weekend!!!

Haha, I just wrote a blog about reality TV before I looked at yours! And I agree, I think reality TV is rediculous but sometimes you cant help yourself to stop and watch a little. It can be entertaining sometimes. And I am glad to see you followed your plan for Thurs night haha I hope you had fun (you'll def have to explain the cop story later! haha) See ya monday!
I love that show so much. It's funny, because I never put it in the reality tv genre until you did. Mostly I just considered it a nature show. I think I automatically associate the phrase "reality tv" with stupid celebreality shows. Anyway, it makes me happy that he has taught me how to survive off of frog legs. He's pretty bad ass.
i'm not sure why its called reality television when it couldnt be any farther from reality. People on those types of shows make it flashier than it actually is. This is to keep audiences coming back for more, its a brainwashing method, haha
What are you all talking about. This is the type of stuff i do with my weekends. I maroon myself on islands and eat nothing but PB and J. dont you do that in your realities. No for real this stuff is just crazy. But the truth is that reality is not fun enough to be on tv. One reality show that I really do like is extreme make over home edition. It really is a pretty decent show.
yeah thats the thing about reality tv, its so saturated with crap, that when theres actually a good one on with some substance to it, we usually don't give it a chance. thats why i feel networks should give viewers an opportunity to create some shows and give them a chance. thats why (although i never watched it) i like the plot behind 'The Lot', it shows regular people who want to give their creative ideas a reality. but remember, too much of a good thing is a bad thing
