First, I apologize if it seems odd that i am suddenly more of an active poster than in the past (I dont even have 20 posts yet). However. (!) I read almost e-v-er-y day (loggiing in for 2 years now), with delight, frustration, plotting and planning, trying to get my own FIRE going....(I seem to be missing that dang flint...)
Anyways, this thread is to discuss your favorite or most loathed reality TV shows, in the safety of this thread without fear of SHAME or ridicule, to salve the wounds instilled upon you by your DW or DH via their scowls and reprimands, for calling you a bottom feeder, a Jerry Springer TV whore, and a morally delinquent hazard. (Did I just reveal too much about my own DH, woopsie! )
I shall start:
My favorite show is now the Amazing Race, surpassed recently by Survivor (which I believe has lost the "adventurous" part of their storytelling, and now is predominantly about the vote, and comes across as 45 minutes of cat-fighting.)
And I heretofore confess that i also watch some of the more banal shows, for which i really have no explanation other than "sometimes I need to watch mindless drivel after a day of hard work, much like I need a Hostess Snowball every once in awhile to appease my food soul):
Biggest Loser (from time to time, not a regular)
American Idol (from time to time, not a regular)
Design on a Dime (I had to stop watching the high-end HGTV shows because they made me feel inadequate!)
Intervention
Antiques Roadshow (not really RTV, but still, not scripted)
Fear Factor (back in the day)
Bob Ross (not RTV but needs to go on my list...they guy was a master at "compelling to watch paint dry", literally)
Because this forum leans more toward "reasoned" people, I will speculate that I am not gonna get a lot of action here. That's okay, I am used to rejection, ridicule, and shame Just trying to make myself more familiar here, and talk about non-FIRE stuff because right now the FIRE thing ain't workin' for me...
