The Hills has hills. HAHA

The Hills is a beautiful thing. No, it really is. I don't think I've had this much enjoyment out of a reality show in quite some time. I mean, come on. How could you go wrong? Between Heidi's excessive amounts of plastic surgery, Kristin doing coke, and Spencer getting crazier by the minute (probably induced by his healing crystals) there is no way anyone could say that this show is not at it's peak.

Really though, the show has become about Spencer and Heidi. Andddd that's it. I really do not care about Audrina and the love triangle with my 90s/early 2000s crush Ryan Cabrera, and the oh-so-hot Brody Jenner. I just don't. And I don't care that Kristin is being as fake as ever, trying to get Brody's attention. I really don't want to see Justin Bobby anywhere, because he's disgusting and looks homeless most of the time and Lo never has an interesting story line and she probably should have left when LC did. And do we really miss LC? No because Kristin is funnier and bitchier, and that makes for good television.

But anyway, Heidi and Spencer. So at the beginning of the season Heidi unveils her plastic surgery (though if you're as obsessed with celebrities as I am you probably had already seen it) to her mother. Her mother outright tells Heidi she does not look like herself and does not look good. Why Heidi got 10 surgeries is beyond me. She was so pretty before. Obviously Spencer and his critique on her features and all around self had something to do with her choice. But everyone was shocked by her surgeries and felt she was "frozen" or looked "plastic." While this is going on, we see Spencer living on edge. He is now obsessed with this alleged calming remedy- crystals that he wears around his neck at all times. But Spencer is anything from calm. In fact, he appears to be on the edge of a nervous breakdown- He yells at his sister who in no way provoked an argument, said hurtful and mean things to and about Heidi's mom and sister, ran out of the house and slammed the door on Heidi's sister, made his own sister and Heidi's cry and fear for their own lives. He is off his rocker.

Nothing though was as good as the last episode- Enzo's party. Now, who is Enzo? Enzo is a 7 year old boy that Heidi threw a party for and invited all her friends. There was an elephant, and a petting zoo, and Brody Jenner all in one party! If this isn't weird in  itself, Spencer claims that this party is "the most fun he has had in awhile" and as he says this he pets a goat. The entire time he's just petting this goat. Later in this episode, he insults Heidi's mother and sister, and Heidi does not defend either. This is the same episode he runs out on Heidi's sister, slams the door and screams at her. He goes from one extreme to the next. Obviously this guy has some real issues (he isn't talking to anyone in his family at the moment according to Perez, so obviously....there's something wrong. What, we probably won't know until he's diagnosed with being crazy as fuck).

But sadly, after a climax such as this one, there is no way anything will be able to follow it. So for now, we're just going have to bask in the rays Spencer's crystals reflect. Oh...so that's what they're really there for. I get it now.

So let's get excited for tonight's episode!

Music Television without the Music

The network Music Television or MTV, would like to broadcast this public service announcement: it does not purposely intend to distort reality.   It does not mean to play insignificant reality TV shows on repeat for days at a time, rendering its content completely irrelevant to its name. It doesn’t portray “the tool” as the average American, nor does it assert that the only women worth watching are those living the rich and glamorous life in New York or California, concerned with their latest hookup or blow out with a friend.  It doesn’t aim to showcase pregnant teenagers as a proud aspect of today’s culture and it doesn’t promote clubbing each night like Snooki, Jwoww, and Mike “The Situation” from The Jersey Shore as a prominent example of living life to the fullest potential.  And if it ever did anything of the sort, it promises a better future in Music Television.

            Whether you are an advocate of MTV’s newly found love for trashy reality shows or an adamant protestor of its inability to play actual music and contribute something worthwhile to television, everyone must agree that MTV has encountered a reality slump.  It doesn’t know light from dark, black from white, reality from script, and actual music videos from an individual’s “real life” drama.  Therefore, in this jumble of chaotic ideas and concepts, MTV spits up its loosely conceived vision of reality, one of attention-starved twenty-something’s, itching for their fifteen minutes of fame, as well as a lack of music videos.  What has happened to the once musically inclined channel?

            In a rapidly changing, technology-infused culture, it’s no wonder MTV has expanded its roots.  Perhaps, executives just realized that the encompassing name of Music Television “was too limiting.”* And indeed, this appears to be the truth.  As recently as February 2010, MTV redesigned its logo, excluding the “music video tag line altogether.” This action seems to demonstrate that the once musically centered network has accepted its new role in television, refusing to risk becoming irrelevant.  Not only this, but the internet has allowed music and all music videos to become more easily accessible.  Rather than sitting around watching music videos on television and thinking, “I wonder when Lady Gaga’s ‘Telephone’ is going to play,” I could just pull the video up instantly via the web.  Oh, how simple life has become.

            Though this is all true, how did a television channel focused on music gravitate towards reality television shows?  Well, all MTV did was give the people what they wanted. MTV’s starting reality shows such as The Real World and Road Rules really struck a chord with the teenage demographic, which became its new target audience.  From shows of this nature sprouted others such as Jackass and 16 and Pregnant, followed by shows with a more scripted plotline (but deemed as reality) such as Laguna Beach: The Real Orange County, The Hills, The City, and The Jersey Shore.  These are all shows focused on younger individuals (so as to appeal to its viewers), living the outrageous and drama-filled life that is unrealistic, but entertaining for the audience.  This lack of realism stems from the producers, who partially egg on unnecessary drama as noted when watching the content.  For example, there is no way that two girls living in L.A. who blatantly dislike each other would end up at the same café, despite there being hundreds of cafés in the area.  Therefore, the producers set up this meeting for the sake of entertainment.  This obvious desire for drama from the viewers has diminished the necessity for music videos, especially since they are more easily accessible elsewhere.  Though MTV began sucking in more and more viewers through its new programming, it began to lose all grasp of reality’s railing.

            MTV slowly began to slip as each reality show placed into its programming lineup became more unrealistic and ridiculous than the next, failing to recognize what reality for its viewers actually is.  MTV’s first batch of shows embodied the true sense of reality TV, without the scripted lines and predetermined plots.  For example, The Real World focuses on the “real” relationships eight strangers create while living in a house together with cameras recording their every word.  Of course, the audience views this show as realistic as life itself because no individual would ever fake drama for the sake of entertainment!  Though shows like The Real World still play on MTV today, the network moved on to a new series of shows, what critics consider to be “scripted reality shows,” or essentially reality shows with scripted lines and some already written drama (essentially The Laguna Beach type of show).  Each program MTV adds to its listings is more ludicrous than the next, displaying anything but the average life lived by their viewers.  Rather than presenting the typical teenager’s life, what MTV exhibits instead is the fabulous, rich life of Orange County snobs, or a film of disillusionment that clouds the life of fist pumping guidos.  No matter what MTV depicts, the portrayal is the farthest from reality, despite naming its programming as such.

            By avoiding the entire concept of its name, MTV has cut all ties from its own reality, allowing the network to reside in a dream-like state.  Without music, MTV is just television.  Since television is what the viewers make it, MTV is just a false reality, that is, whatever reality its viewers desire.

            If anything, the lack of music from MTV’s network just demonstrates that what the critics say is true: change is inevitable.

No baby drama?

Is it just me or has 16 and Pregnant been going soft? I mean it's nice to see some young couples actually get along through such a crisis but...where's the drama?

You know that's why they started the show in the first place.

Real Housewives of Crazyland

Has anyone been watching The Real Housewives of New York City this season (Season 3)? I swear to God, everyone has gone crazy...not that they weren't before, but for real, they are complete psychopaths. Let's enumerate them:

1. The Countess (whatever her real name even is) - What the hell is a Countess? First of all, she's divorced (or at least her husband is never there aka Count-less hahahahah) from her Count husband...why in the world do you have to bring up your so-called "status" up every second? No one cares if you are a Countess. No one even knows what that means. King, queen, prince, princess- yeah, we understand that, but Countess? Her and her husband are never together, screw around, just do whatever they want....I find her very class-less and I feel bad for her children for dealing with her.

2. Ramona- She is the craziest of all I have to say.  She freaks out over every little thing...in the second episode of the season she goes nutballs when Alex and her husband try to leave to go see Jill, etc. She literally went bananas.  What is the big deal? Why is there soooo much drama? What are we in high school?  "Oh my god she's leaving me to go hang out with another friend that means we're obviously not friends I can't lose my friend so I'm gonna freak out so she thinks I'm psycho and is literally afraid to leave." It's a problem. Huuuuge problem.

3. Jill- She's the typical Jewish New Yorker...enough said I feel like if you understand bagels, money, and New York.

4. Simon (yes I consider Simon the housewife, not Alex)- Alex is semi-normal to be honest. What makes her crazy is her husband Simon. Simon I swear is gay. There is no way in the world he is straight. He dresses like a homosexual, acts like one, speaks like one, etc. He's British or some shit and his kids names are like Francois and some other French-ass name.  I mean....you're a New Yorker...do you know your nationality? Or sexuality....?




5. Kelly- This housewife thinks she such hot shit. I mean she's not bad looking for 40 or whatever she is, but if I hear one more time about how great she thinks she looks and how she thinks posing in Playboy will make her kids proud of her....I might blow my brains out. When her kids grow up and see her mom bared it all in Playboy...well, there's gonna be a problem. I mean I guess I'd be like, "well my mom's hot...dgaf," but seriously these kids are gonna have to deal with so much.  I feel bad for them.  I also feel bad that Kelly has such an inflated ego. Your life isn't that wonderful. You're however old you are and single with two kids, been arrested and been in Playboy...I don't know. Badass, or psycho?

6. Betheny- Now Betheny is my favorite, the most normal, down to earth of all the housewives....but she's not a housewife. She's not married and never has been...has no kids and won't for awhile. She's written a couple interesting things and usually when she speaks she makes the most sense with her snide, mean, and degrading remarks, but...as with all the houswives, you have to have a few screws loose to go on this show. I mean....seriously. And please just marry Jason. If I have to go through another entire of season with you being afraid of commitment, I might scream.

And that's all I got on these Crazies so far...more to come.

"My life's a movie, call me Martin Scorsese "

So school/my social life has been a little to hectic for me to keep up my watching of reality tv.  I probably watch...Sixteen and Pregnant and Big Love (which isn't a reality show) on a regular basis right now, which is not what I had in mind when I started this blog. But as things die down I will continue to write.  I see this as an ongoing process. And I know I have quite a few friends who find my posts at least semi-entertaining...

But on a completely different note, I just want to share that I need my own reality show. The things that happen to me and my friends sometimes just feel like something out of a movie. I'm sure every group of friends say this- but for mine, it's true.  It would be completely hilarious, spontaneous, and entertaining to say the least. Let me just recap part of my previous weekend: frat party, throwing a beer, almost getting kicked out, making out, dropkicking an orange soda, projectile vomit, clean up, pass out.

Granted the above is just like any other college weekend, but still...there's definitely more where that came from.

So MTV, give us a chance! We're funny, smart, and have various and interesting perspectives.  Actually, screw MTV- any network, give this a shot! College life is quite...fascinating.
...And I'll leave it at that.


Oh and when you have a chance, check out my new blog, where I just talk about random things and post cool stuff. It's completely just something for me- get my thoughts and ideas out and to inspire me. Maybe it'll inspire you too.

365 Debuts Interview

This is nothing to do with reality tv, but take a look at an interview I did with 365 Debuts!

Interview


I know I haven't written much but check back soon!

"16 and let's use condoms"

Soooooo 16 and Pregnant is back! Or rather it's been back for awhile, but I'm just now writing about it.  Two episodes have been aired thus far and the third episode will air this Tuesday.  Now, maybe it's just me or maybe I don't remember the last season of 16 and Pregnant and I'm stuck thinking about Teen Mom, but I feel like as each episode comes on the air, they become more and more depressing.  In the first, the girl who gets pregnant has an alcoholic boyfriend who refuses to change and try and be a good father.  That was depressing beyond belief...then in the next episode, the girl has a boyfriend who is just a complete jerk, cheats on her, and doesn't seem to have the brain capacity to realize that he just impregnated a girl.

I don't really know what's with these girls anymore.  How is it possible that they pick these sure-fire winners?  Each guy is dumber than the next and has more and more issues that need to be worked out.  They are either complete white trash or oblivious to the fact that they committed a huge mistake and need to be there whether they want to or not.  To me, it seems that the girls choose to stay with these dumbasses because they are just compltely infatuated and in complete utter puppy love that they don't know how to get over.  Its the cross to bare with being a teenage girl.  When we fall in love for the first time, we don't know how to fall out and we are blinded completely, even when we know our boyfriend is a world class douche.  So how do we solve this problem? DO NOT, I REPEAT, DO NOT, GET PREGNANT. Let's try wearing condoms and practicing safe sex and we don't have to worry about having a douche bag, dead-beat boyfriend who won't be there for you when you're pregnant.  It's hard enough just dealing with him in general, instead of dealing with him with a belly the size of the sun and an actual living person on the way. 

Soooo let's try something new teen america. :)

oh god...there are shirts!

yep..it's true. Jersey Shore shirts! hahaha

Someone should highly consider getting me one.



To be honest, I should have made this a blog exclusively about the Jersey Shore.

Teen Abortion?

I was surfing Perezhilton.com yesterday (my new obsession) and came across something that disturbed me, but in yet, intrigued me in so many ways.  There's this short documentary-like show traveling around the internet called "Bump," about women who look into having abortions (basically like Teen Mom or 16 and Pregnant, but the opposite).  Now my impression was that it would be MTV-ified and be the hilarious reality tv show we all know in love.

Well, as a matter of fact, it was serious.  Some of the women on there are ridiculous, and parts of the how are obviously scripted (but same with all the MTV shows right?), but it was definitely interesting.  The show is only on the internet with about 8 minute episodes, but if you're as interested as I am about why people do the things they do, definitely check it out.  You can search for it on youtube, or check it here!


Disclaimer!!! VERY IMPORTANT!:
When I was going to the page of Bump, to insert the link to the website, I happened to read something, and all these stories are FICTIONAL. I don't feel the need to correct myself above, because you can easily believe these shows are real. So think of it as whatever you want. Either way, still interesting.

jersey shore season 2!!!!!

It's official everybody....the tumultuous wait it over..

Jersey Shore will be back for a second season, THIS summer. However, in a new lo-cal. I'm not sure how I feel about not being in the guido nation of the country anymore, but....with the whole cast coming back, I think it's a shoo-in to turn gold.

Check it.

PARTY ANIMAL FARRAH FROM TEEN MOM SPOTTED WITH THE GREATEST DJ EVER!

Farrah from the MTV's Teen Mom has been spotted "canoodling" with the hottest DJ around, DJ Pauly D from the Jersey Shore. Check out this article for the deeets!

Farrah needs to stop partying. She is a MOTHER. This isn't senior year of high school, running around during all hours of the night. Farrah made a mistake and had a child. That time in her life is over and it's time to grow up.
And honestly, the story about her mom being arrested for allegedly choking her or whatever...well, I would have done the same thing. Farrah was the most aggravating girl on Teen Mom, always complaining about things, trying to find boys (after the baby), seeming genuinely surprised when guys were turned off at finding out she had a baby (what 18 year old guy doesn't want a girl with a little 8 pound baggage???), and talking back to her mom- the only person in her life that stayed by her. YOU'RE A MOTHER FARRAH, you're a grown-up. Pauly D is 29 years old, and probably should be looked at as a pedophile.

oh life..

"I invented the poof"

I could have probably just made a blog about the Jersey Shore the way I'm going, but that probably would have been a bit much. Regardless, there's still so much I feel like needs to be said about the show. This entry...is dedicated to my personal favorite, Snooki. Now maybe I just like Snooki because I can relate to her midget status (me being 5' 0.5''). Or maybe I just find everything she says and does absolutely ridiculous. Either way, this post is going to count off my favorite Snooki moments.

5."If I had to have sex with one person here, it would probably be him, because I know he's a nice guy, he's gotta be clean." (on the cowboy Keith)
Snooki only goes for juice-head guidos, so what attracted her to the cowboy Keith? Well maybe it was that he was genuinely a nice guy, with no brain inside his head. He hung out with her all night, but didn't even sleep with her. He covered her ass when it was hanging out, and she insisted that she's not trashy unless she's drunk. But Keith didn't care. He was there for her. That is, until she actually wanted a date from him. Bye Bye Cowboy.

4. "Pickles is my thing"
Wearing a "Pornstar in Training" neon pink trucker hat, Snooki emerges from her room, and heads directly for the kitchen.  She takes out a jar of pickles and clutches one in her hand, sucking deeply on the pickle, similarly to how one might attack a nice juiced-guido Italian sausage, getting alllllllllll the juice out. Is this a euphemism for a "dirty act?" Nope. This is real life.

3. "I love the Jersey Shore, I love being a guidette, but I'm not feeling it right now. I’m the princess of Poughkeepsie but here I’m nobody.”

Upon moving into the house, Snooki didn't like not being the center of attention (I mean the world does revolve around her right?). She almost left because she couldn't deal with it, but she stuck it out and had the summer of her life!  She never became the princess of the Jersey Shore along with Poughkeepsie, but honestly isn't she much more than that? She is queen of the guidettes.


2.  "I’m not pissed off that they put pickles under my bed as a joke, but I’m pissed off that Mike and Pauly wasted two pickles."

Oh yes, more pickles. Always and forever will the pickles lines be some of the greatest.  Mike and Pauly decided to play a joke on her in which they cut up pickles (it was wayyyy more than two) and they placed them under her bed, since she just loves "pickles" so much.  She ends up finding them and is just confused really. She liked the joke, but now she's out of pickles. It was a sad day in the Jersey Shore house when Snooki was out of pickles.

1. You all know what the number one Snooki moment is of all time. Of course, it was the monster punch to the face. "THOSE SHOTS AREN'T FOR YOU" and then wham. Knocked out. "Please don't tell me I have missing teeth!" Snooki took one for the team, let's be honest. How a girl ever gets punched in the face by some random guy is beyond me. She must have been really obnoxious.

Haven't seen the infamous clip? Check it out here, over and over and over again.

I'm the princess of the Jersey Shore, now.

"I cut girls like barbers cut hair"-Ronnie

Tonight was the season finale and reunion of Jersey Shore. I cannot believe this show is over...truthfully. It was everything I dreamed it would be and more hahaha. Although I feel like I probably lost more brain cells than took away anything valuable from the show, I'd say all in all it was a good experience, definitely the most entertaining TV show I've seen in...along time. That's kinda sad if you think about it,how un-entertaining our television in America has become. But...oh well. I can't complain.

The season finale episode was fairly entertaining to say the least, but I'd say the winner in this situation (haha nice plug right?) was the reunion show. I could go on and on about each and every character but the real entertainment stood with the only relationship of the show. The break-up between Ronnie and Sammi, though kind of sad, was honestly some of the funniest dialogue I've seen on tv. "I cut girls like barbers cut hair?" I mean, come onnnnnnnnn.  What a great quote, seriously.  She obviously knew what was coming in the "never-before-seen clip" since she had a major freak out in the girls bathroom. With what she did, she had it coming. I feel bad for Ronnie, because for once, he didn't do anything wrong. He broke his only rule for her, for crying out loud! He deserves a real guidette. Not one with an annoying ass voice and horrible hair extensions.

Anyway, the show was great and I'm sure I'll still be writing about this show for a few more weeks. Until then, check out some season recap quotes. Fun stuff!

"Lookin' like a fool with your pants on the ground!"

I actually haven't watched this season of American Idol at all so far, despite being an avid fan for as long as the show has been on (probably about half my life haha).  I honestly am just not in the mood to see people get ridiculed for the sake of entertainment during the audition process. That's honestly what they do. One contestant called into a local radio show here in Arizona, Johnjay and Rich on the station 104.7 fm, and he described the process he went through. He was a music teacher who actually sang on radio and had a decent voice, but when he was shown on television, he messed up his audition.  Although American Idol depicted him as performing in front of the judges, he actually did not get that far. There's a few audition processes contestants must go through before they actually get to see Simon, Randy, etc (who else is a judge these days anyways?). So he performed well in front of the producers, then the producers told him to sing a Pussycat Dolls' song for fun. He did and did the job terribly because it's not the style he should be singing. Then he went to see another set of judges with this horrible performance in his mind. This audition was videotaped, and he sung the song of his choice horribly because of his previous bomb. This was the performance that was put on tv and was spliced together with the comments of the real judges to make it look like he actually sang in front of them. If this is the truth, this part of the American Idol show is completely fabricated, and as much as I love my trashy television, I'm not going to buy into it.

However, from the show is our annual phenomenon. We've had William Hung and many others, but now we have "General" Larry Platt!  If you haven't heard "Pants on the Ground" yet, it's a hilarious hit that has taken over our nation. Check it out!

MTV's dud.

(NOTE:  I realize essentially all I've posted about so far are shows on MTV...this will change I promise you. I think it's mainly because MTV airs shows that apply to my generation and one of the main channels I watch now-a-days is MTV).

Anyways, My Life As Liz. This show came on after The Buried Life tonight (which I must say was a rather intriguing show that I'm sure I'll talk about at a later date, very inspirational). I had nothing better to do and had no desire to get off the comfortable couch and think about school, so I sat and watched it with a few friends. I have to say, this show killed my brain cells and stole a half hour of my life. I have no idea what MTV was thinking. First of all, is the show supposed to be reality or is it fake? This was what I liked to call "scripted reality," definitely not unscripted. If it was real, the characters have no idea how to speak and if it was fake, the acting was terrible and needs an SOS call...not that MTV has ever had a show with class A acting anyway, but that's not the point. Liz is a character that I don't think many people (or anyone) will connect with or even like. Anyone who would doesn't watch MTV. She's bizarre, annoying, dramatic, and a huge complainer. She thinks no one understands her (sounds like every teen), so she tries to set herself apart, but this just makes her seem more bizarre. Besides this, she's inconsiderate when she leaves one of her friends behind, stranded. She honestly doesn't seem to care about anyone but herself, and doesn't seem to realize that not everyone shares her views and isn't as open as she is. It's fine to be yourself, but people like her (if that is her being herself) just need to tame their personality when in public. It really isn't that hard. I understood her point of how everyone she used to be friends with is so fake, but she portrays all these girls as horrible people, too obsessed with their hair, makeup, and the color pink to be smart or care about worldly issues and what's really important in life. This is such a ridiculous stereotype. I know we all succumb to stereotypes at some point, but this show is just blatantly pointing fingers and it's wrong.I didn't find a single factor of the show entertaining. The entire plot (life?) was predictable and has been portrayed in numerous movies and other tv shows of a higher quality.

So why, MTV, must you air this honest-to-God piece of crap? I hope it's some sort of joke, like the
rest of your shows.

"Everybody loves the situation: babies, dogs, hot girls, cougars...I just have unbelievable mass appeal"

Jersey Shore has forever changed me. And quite honestly, it's a little sad how a show this trashy has captured the hearts of America, but it has, and I will never be the same because of it.  House music now causes me to build the beat up and fist pump. When I put my hair in a poof, Snooki comes to mind. Gym, tanning, laundry (GTL) has become the only motto to live by. And anytime the phrase "the situation" is mentioned in a sentence, I can't help but say: "My abs are so ripped up...I call it The Situation" and begin to fist pump.

Now, I'll say it, the abs are nice, but is a nickname for yourself really required? I'm pretty sure in real life if I was to ever meet a guy who called himself "The Situation" I'd probably be lying on the floor laughing, rather than lying on the floor with him. Somehow though, Mike (this is his real name...yes, surprisingly he does have a real name), came home with a different girl every night who just wanted a piece of him. How he achieved this is beyond me. Anyone with a nickname for himself like this I just cannot take seriously. And that's why this situation makes for great television....so much so that I want my own nickname for myself. Any ideas? :)

"I'm a free bird!"

This new season of MTV's The Real World (can you believe the show is on it's 23rd season?!?) has been pretty much like all the others: just a drama-filled house stemming from the clash of strong-willed personalities...they're just like your own group of friends! You have the Lenny Kravitz look-a-like, the girl who dates Lenny Kravitz look-a-likes, the opinionated liberal who should probably stop talking, the guy who thinks he's funny but really is a virgin tool, the girl struggling with an eating disorder, the token black man with pent up anger found in a mortal combat of man versus self, the bi-sexual hot guy unwilling to admit that he's actually just gay, and my favorite- "the free bird." Now you may be asking, what is a "free bird?" Well, to Emily, this means being independent and she demonstrates this independence by having a tattoo of a bird and wearing a bird necklace. This naturally shows to all that she is a "free bird." I mean, come on, she has a necklace AND a tattoo. These things speak volumes.

I mean, I give props to the girl. She's doing whatever she wants to make up for the time lost in her cult-like religion. This of course means hooking up with whatever guy she wants. That's what a free bird does. I know why the caged bird sings...and this caged bird had to get out!  In one of the episodes, she references the guy in the house she had been "hooking up" with (for lack of a better term), Ty, in confessional, saying, "I'm not willing to put myself only in his arms, because I'm a free bird." At another point, Emily tells Ty to "suck his own dick." Would anyone other than a "free bird" say that? I think not.

Check out episodes of this season and find out about the cast and much more here!

Why a blog about reality tv?

So I admit it. I'm an addict.

But there's no cure for my addiction but to keep watching. Sure it fuels the flame of those just wanting their 15 seconds of fame, but if I'm getting entertained by their actions, whether they demonstrate how horribly trashy and starved for attention our society has become or not, I see no problem. Maybe it's just that I'm a 19 year old college student and I'll outgrow my fascination, or maybe I'm just easily entertained by others..but as long as I know there is more to this life, my addiction is completely understandable.

Essentially, anyone and anything that makes me laugh holds a special place in my heart. Laughter is the one thing I don't think I could live without and I've been finding that I tend to laugh the most when I watch the completely ridiculous actions of those on TV. The best shows for this in my opinion are the ones on MTV or BRAVO that specifically look for the most ridiculous individuals to get as many viewers as possible. But the shows on basic cable like American Idol and Dancing with the Stars have their share of great moments as well. And we can't forget all the talk show hosts that have no idea what they're saying (I'm of course referring to the infamous Wendy Williams), though I know talk shows aren't technically on the spectrum of reality shows, but they work just the same.

This blog is intended to highlight the moments I find the most entertaining, ridiculous, hilarious and just plain fun. Anything and everything reality TV is fair game! Feel free to share your ideas along with mine.
