Now that we're in the swing of reality TV, I'd like to get your perspective on some of the shows I've been watching and will be watching. Here's my take on things...

The Bachelor

Sorry ladies, but I hate it. Jason is a puss and the women are scary desperate. I guess I should mention that I didn't care for him on the Bachelorette so it was pretty much a given I wouldn't like him now. I know I'm in the minority on this because it seems as though women just love the guy and feel so bad *insert high pitched, squish the cheeks, and give some lovey dovey baby talk* for him. They should have given this show to Jesse but then again, no one knew what a skank DE Annahhh (trying to provide you with some phonetics - God forbid you pronounce her name wrong) was going to turn into. Jason does look like a cute little chimpanzee, but I like my men a little more wordly and most importantly, manly.

Rock of Love Bus

Bret Michaels outta be ashamed of himself. The guy is 44 years old, diabetic, overly tan, puffy looking, and has two daughters under the age of 10. You'd think he'd stop hooking up with nasty hoochie mamas and getting crappy hair extensions and spend some time making sure he entered his golden years sans a strange red rash and smelly discharge. Seriously, this new show is bad. Really bad, There is not one woman I'd even think had an ounce of self-respect or morality. Between the chick fights, drunk induced vomiting, profanity, and disgusting kisses Bret shares with each of these girls (notice I'm not using the word, "lady"), it's a hot mess. And I watch every week.

Real World

I'm officially too old to watch this show. With trans gendered roommates and a weirdo Mormon kid infatuated with sex, I just couldn't keep up. My mind would not and could not comprehend the diversity they were trying to shove down my throat during that torturous one hour period. I guess my coolness has ended and mid-thirties brain has settled in.

American Idol

Well, the season is off to a great start with the additon of Kara DioGuardi, whoever the hell she is. I guess she's an acclaimed songwriter but we really don't run in the same circles. Paula still looks high, Simon's a super jerk, and Randy, well, Randy is likable enough. The contestants are just like the past 50 seasons of AI, quirky, unremarkable, and not that funny. I hardly watch AI at all last season and this season looks even worse. I honestly just watch to see if Paula will go "on the knod" during a live performance. Drugs are bad, very bad. Someone should tell Paula.

Survivor

I stopped watching it after season one when I saw them eat bugs. Blech! I can't watch stuff like that. It doesn't start until February but I'm going to watch a coupla episodes and decide if it's for me.

Double Shot At Love

You thought Tila Tequila was icky? Meet the Ikki twins (such an appropriate name) - double your pleasure, double your fun - or not. They don't know if they like boys or girls (just like Tila) and make their potential partners do all sorts of crazy things for dates with them. Lots of drama, alcohol, a couple of fights between the twins, and you've got good, all wholesome crazy fun for the whole family. I highly doubt this show will make it a second season. It is painful to watch in a chafing sorta way.

Sober House

I've never been in rehab, much less a clean and sober house, but out of all these shows, it does seem the most real. For the most part, the celebs currently on it seem like they want to do the right thing - well, all except Steven Adler. Have you seen him? Good grief! Someone called him the Lion from the Wizard of Oz, and my Gawd, did they get that right! Seriously scary. He got arrested last episode and had a little issue with "chasing the dragon" in the bathroom. Get some help, dude.

Confessions Of A Teen Idol

I like this show. Primarily because I love Christopher Atkins and "Blue Lagoon" and the "Pirates of Penzance" were two of my favorite movies growing up. I don't really care for the Baywatch dudes, especially the "former" meth addict who seems to have a 'tude. The little Grease guy is cute in an old man sorta way - not sure if that's what he's looking for, though. The rest of the dudes are a'yight but I've got my money on Atkins. Yummy.

I think that's all I can think of right now. Am I missing any good ones besides the awesomeness that is Deadliest Catch, Ax Men, and Ghost Hunters? Do you totally disagree with me? Let me know!
