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.
