It's a "real" change of pace at least
What is it about reality shows? I don't know, but I'm guilty of watching my share for sure. I've slacked off a bit because I find that the more women on one show, the bigger and more frequent the cat fights. It's for that reason I no longer watch Housewives....of any city. I stopped watching Basketball Wives after Tami's constant attempt to keep an interesting storyline by being overly aggressive every chance she got. Never you mind that because just as one show's season is ending in my world, another is beginning! I tuned in to the new season of T.O. (there's just something about Terrell Owens that makes him kind of likable). I tried to watch La La (because I think she too is likable), but I couldn't get into it. Her life seemed more fun to watch when she was planning her wedding to Carmelo Anthony. I've never been in to any of the Kardashians (I'm not even sure I'm spelling it right and didn't bother to spell check it anywhere....that's just how uninterested I am in their lives). Although, I have to admit, I tried to like Khloe because I want to like Lamar Odom. Ice T and Co Co....in my best Whitney Houston voice....HELL TO THE NAW. Not only am I not interested in them, I wish they didn't have a show. (Cringe) As bad as reality tv is...it went down a notch, in my opinion, when that show started airing. Anyhoo....like them or not, they're everywhere. Scripted shows are slowly becoming more and more difficult to find. There are the supposed "helpful" reality shows including Hoarders and Intervention. I watch those and realize my reality is pretty good. It may not be the lavish living of sipping wine with friends all day everyday or shopping and dining out and fussing and cussing and saying I'm sorry and buying floors at grand hotels or traveling the world with no care about cost....but it is real, which is more than I can say for some of my favorite "reality" shows. All the edited chaos aside and attempts to make a storyline where there is none, I guess I enjoy the laughs provided from moments that spur the occasional OMG spoken out loud. While the "actors" are often striving for the spin-off and the unscripted scripts are filled with what seems to be fake "made for reality tv" converstions....I watch. If nothing else, reality tv provides a "real" change of pace at least.
