Other harsh Realities

originalsnob by originalsnobOG 2004 · Nov 8, 2004 · 127 views

Face it, most of our cerebrally challenged, couch bound,overweight, or sun bleached country... have been reeled into the phenomenon that is REALITY TV!
From

The Simple Life
The Simple Life 2
Meet My Parents
Who Wants to Marry My Dad?

To

The Swan and numerous others molded after The Real World or Survivor the list goes on and on.
No matter how we fight it some of these shows that "We'd rather not see" or "Aren't that interested in" have a CRAZY lure.
For my own Guilty Pleasure? Trading Spouses!

I hate all reality tv from 2000 on... Real World and Road Rules was all i watched back in the late 90's the rest of it sucks now...

Real World Road Rules challenges are always good.

Well there was this episode of TS: one of the families was back country bluegrass singing, fishing, hunting, moosehead on the wall etc. While the wife Crystal was away her husband shared this song he'd written for her with the replacement mom.
I really suprised myself 'cause I'm a tough cookie to crack and I just bawled I though it was great...
And then I thought "wow, he REALLY loves her". I mean no duh it's his wife but, it's like he wouldn't EVER want anyone else...the song was called Don't get no better than this

It suddenly occured to me, I could handle this maybe

handle living in the backwoods?

originalsnob #6.1.1 originalsnobOG 2004

Maybe that to, if i wasn't tarred & feathered first lol.
No I meant I could get used to someone like Crystal's husband...so sweet.

beachbum #6.1.1.1 beachbumOG 2002

oh hahaha. true, sadly

i have watched simple life a few times and i saw the first episode of that one with the amish people but i generally try not to even start watching so i can't get hooked. but i love one of the original 'reality' dating shows-Blind Date. People are so ridiculous it cracks me up.

socalgal #4 socalgalOG 2003

ok i luv'd Simple Life 1 & 2. My new fav is Growing Up Gotti.

another one that i am obsessed with is Laguna Beach. its the LAMEST by far but i'm SO hooked.

Fav dumb line from laguna beach: (thickest val girl accent) "you and stephen would have like the CUTEST babies cause he's all like tan and stuff"

malibu #4.1 malibuOG 2001

my mom doesnt' understand myu love of growin up gotti because she says its like every gavone she grew up with in belleville.

beachbum #4.2 beachbumOG 2002

laguna beach is a reality show? i never saw it but i saw the commercials and it looked like a regular show.

socalgal #4.2.1 socalgalOG 2003

naw its reality. no scripts etc all high school kids during a typical OC day.

Real World/Road Rules Challenges- Duuuuh have we not noticed this?
Outback Jack- Okay..I still miss this show. It was the best thing ever!!

i love 'Til Death Do Us Part: Carmen & Dave, the first season of Newlyweds: Nick and Jessica, Bravo's Blow Out (coming back for season two-yeah!!!) and America's Next Top Model. i cant watch the dating ones like Average Joe/The Bachelor/The Bachelorette/Joe Millionare etc. they are soo desperate.

socalgal #2.1 socalgalOG 2003

thats what makes "the bashelor/bachelorette" so hysterical. They're SO desparate and they cry that they're SO in love with the person, blah blah blah and thats only after 5 minutes of meeting.

malibu #2.2 malibuOG 2001

yes!!! blow out will be back. i love it. and i love america's next top model. it really is difficult what they do and the image they are trying to create for themselves and i just really appreciate it. like how amazing did shandi look at the end? how bad in the beginning?

socalgal #2.2.1 socalgalOG 2003

oh yeah, i forgot about america's next top model. i'm addicted! Shandi was just so average and they did make her into someone gorgeous with out any plastic surgery.

Sorry but I LOVE the Simple Life 1 & 2. They are so dumb. I just laugh and laugh. I also loved Rich Girls.

sunshyne #1.1 sunshyneOG 2004

aww...we used to watch rich girls in a sisterly fashion. i miss watching tv with you lil sis!

Jamie: This is how I feel about your intelligence....I think it surpasses 99.9% of the population.

Ally: What do you mean surpasses?
