Shocking news that is neither of those really


In the world of reality TV, where I spend a great deal of free time, this week's shocking news is the bachelor. He changed his mind. Oh dear god. The public outcry was deafening (in the reality circle). What gets me with this and with all reality TV is that people believe it is real. So people are shocked that a guy goes on a TV show to find a wife out of a panel of women who are going on the show to compete for one guy and then the guy picks a girl and then he changes his mind. And the shocking part is that last bit?

Though I do watch reality TV I must admit I never watched this particular show because it is ridiculous. I rate these shows on a sliding scale and in the big picture ridiculous isn't a terrible rating but for me this one just isn't watchable. Until now. Bring in some good shock drama and I'm in. I can't wait for next season. As if regular schmoes and schmoettes aren't disallusioned enough when choosing a spouse from the entire population (not me, honey...)Until next season and for now I will continue to get my fix on American Idol and Sober House.

I'm going on next year. They're changing the title to "The Fat Bastalor."

You made me laugh. I will watch that show. Whatever you do, just don't ever change your mind. And I looked up the word Bastalor in case you were making a double joke there. I couldn't find it. Thanks for making me look.
