Oh my goodness, today's Think Out Loud topic (though you can rant, chat, fangirl about anything) is right on track with what I wanted to talk about.
Reality TV. My books are happy about my love for reality TV. They are. A chosen book sits down next to me with the remotes (yes, plural), with my laptop on the floor. No one gets left out. I can't handle competition shows where the judges are mean and I can't handle people getting drunk and wrecking their future with absolute stupidity. That narrows my window of shows dramatically. For daytime, I'm a huge Judge Judy fan. My boys scold her every time she says stupid and shut up. That's it for daytime. I have one guilty pleasure, Big Brother during the summer. I love it so much! When crazy Rachel was on, my youngest boy was hooked because the girl was just so animated...like a cartoon. The Amazing Race is the best reality show on TV. I missed one season and that was during my divorce (couldn't handle watching duos working together or fighting). And Monday The Voice returns! Yay! Seriously, I'm a huge fan. I email my mom and write, "Happy The Voice Day!" So nerdy, I know. But you know what happens after the show is over? I give my book attention. So no one is suicidal.
Think Out Loud is a cool meme brought to you by Think. This is your chance to veer off topic, to write about stuff you don't normally post on your blog, or stuff eating away at you, or something you just have to share. Go on, have some fun, then be sure to add your link HERE.
Holy NO way! I did not know The Voice was back on this next Monday. So excited now!!!
ReplyDeleteGreat Think Out Loud!
I'm so curious to see how the change up in judges affects the dynamic. I hope the show is still funny.
DeleteMy boy loves reality shows so we definitely watch Big Brother (we loved crazy Rachel), Amazing Race, and Survivor. We are also looking forward to The Voice Monday! Maroon 5 is my favorite band ever so any chance to see Adam, I'm game for. :D Jaclyn @ JC's Book Haven
ReplyDeleteOMG! I love Adam too. I'll have to wish you Happy The Voice Day too. Will watches some of The Voice with me, but his favorite parts are the commercials because it's the only grown up show I watch with him.
DeleteI love Big Brother!!! Totally fun to watch during the summer. We'll have to dish when the new season starts in July. One of my favorites was Evel Dick. Oh, and I can't forget Dr. Will. Two evil geniuses. :D
ReplyDeleteThose two are evil! We'll totally dish. I don't subscribe to the live feed, but I look up who won after some of the competitions so I can tease my mom and sister because they wait for the show. I'm a jerk.
DeleteI haven't watched Big Brother in a long time! I like competition shows, especially when they bake or cook but I feel bad when they have to let someone go. I don't think all reality shows are bad.
ReplyDeleteI've watched cake competitions. Those are so fun! Are they going to drop the cake before they can set it on the judging table? I don't feel so bad when people lose at those, but the dancing/singing ones are too stressful for me, with the exception of The Voice because they make me laugh and give good critques.
DeleteI don't watch dancing singing shows, I don't know why, they're just not for me. I've seen them but not by choice.
DeleteThey are fun and always make me hungry, the cakes look so good. I want to be a judge on those, that's my dream job lol
Ha! I'd be the worst judge ever. I have terrible table manners. So I'd be trying not to hurt their feelings while licking my fingers and talking with my mouth full. My dream job for a while was to do ropes courses (like trust falls) for businesses and high schools. There's a field of study for it and everything...Recreational Studies. How awesome does that sound?
