reality television

 so, i don't watch reality tv. all my life, i've been told that trash television rots your brain and makes you stupid (i don't agree with that at all, by the way. watch what you want!! be your own person!!). BUT, i've unfortunately been sucked into the secret lives of mormon wives and i am literally over it. these women need to leave their terrible husbands and boyfriends because these BOYS are not it. absolutely abhorrent behaviours from all parties, don't get me wrong, but these boys are especially atrocious. eughhh.

my older brother loves jersey shore, and i might give it a watch since he's (allegedly) watched all of gilmore girls, and i've been avoiding anything to do with the kardashians for years, but i might cave and watch keeping up with the kardashians. i think dr. phil is a solid trash tv choice, too (that's a joke. this whole post is actually based on a text i sent to lizzy the other day).

i'm lowkey afraid of real housewives simply because i don't think i'd know where to even start. like, do i start with the very first series, or do i go for the ones that take place in my home state? do i work my way from coast to coast? so many choices, some of which are probably unhinged, but i never claimed to be hinged in any way; i am merely masquerading a perfectly sane individual with my expansive vocabulary and grandma-esq hobbies.

this has been me just yapping, as i am wont to do. none of it has to make sense, and that's the fun of it.

  3. I'm the complete opposite and I love reality shows. I find it really easy to start watching without high expectations, and before I know it, I’m completely hooked on the storylines and getting annoyed by the participants' decisions.

    I recently watched 'Sua Mãe Te Conhece?' (Does Your Mom Know You?) on Netflix Brazil, and it was exactly that kind of experience. I became very angry with the children, who are adults but seem completely incapable of sorting out their own lives, and with some of the mothers, who also weren't helping much in the situation. Even so, I kept watching because I wanted to see how it would all play out.
